Abstract: An improved linear guiding mechanism with a standing part and a moving part which have respective uniform cross sections. A pair of spaced guiding channels is formed between these parts and respective linear ball bearings are arranged in both channels that interconnect the two parts. The channel walls are abutting the balls via steel bars extending along the channels. Preferably the standing part defines a cylinder in which a piston is moved and its shaft is connected to the moving part. The parts are made of light and soft material such as aluminum or plastic and manufactured by extrusion technique. The rather high variation of dimensions of such parts are compensated by means of biasing forces that press the channels together, and the biasing forces are sufficiently high to resist operational load. The length of the ball bearings is at least the half of the maximum stroke.

Abstract: N,N,N-trimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl-ammonium-[1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(1-pipera zinyl)-1,4-dihydro-quinolizine-3-carboxylate] of the formula I ##STR1## as a norfloxacin antimicrobial salt capable of enteral administration.

Abstract: The invention relates to synergistic antiphlogistic pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pyrido [1,2-a]-pyrimidine derivative of the Formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are lower alkyl and R.sup.3 stands for lower alkoxycarbonyl or carbamoyl and the dotted line represents an optionally hydrogenated band or a salt or quaternary salt thereof and 1-[p-chloro-benzoly]-2-methyl-5-methoxy-indolyl-3-acetic acid of the Formula II ##STR2## The advantage of the compositions is that as a result of the synergistic activity of the compound of the Formula I, the antiphlogistic Indomethacin of the Formula II can be administered in a significantly lower doses and consequently the unfavorable side effects of the latter compound are mitigated.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for determining the characteristics of liquids and/or gases, in particular for determining the diverse parameters of blood. The equipment determines the ratio of the signals of the sensing element resp. of the signal converter at a double-light photometer and a reference, simultaneously performing constant or periodical testing, accordingly, the control of the whole measuring system can be ensured. Signal processing takes place by the expansion of series or cutoff point interpolating logarithm forming, by averaging; the system includes structural elements for performing adjustable error detection. The largest advantage of the circuit arrangement according to the invention lies in that the instabilities of the photometers of traditional construction may be eliminated, a higher measuring accuracy becomes possible, and by ensuring the testing possibilities, by performing a continuous self-control reliable measuring data are delivered.

The compounds have herbicidal properties.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the preparation of chemical intermediates, namely, beta-amino-acrylic acid ester derivatives of nitrogen heterocycles, i.e. pyridine, quinoline, quinoxaline, pyrazine, pyrimidine and the like. Said intermediates are cyclized to form pyrido-pyrimidine type final products possessing analgesic activity.

Abstract: Triazene derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is = CH-- or nitrogen,Y is --CH = or nitrogen,R and R' are substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, arakyl or cycloarkyl. The compounds are effective as photographic toners and additives to photographic developers and as antimycotic agents in animal therapy.
