Abstract: A servo valve, with a valve housing, a main valve and a pilot valve which can be actuated via a push-push mechanism for adjusting the main valve between an open position and a closed position. Two setting discs are provided which are arranged to rotate relative to each other for setting the open position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tray for foodstuffs, comprising, in this order: a first inner polymer layer, a second polymer layer and an outer aluminium layer, wherein the tray has a sealing region on the upper peripheral rim formed at least by the first polymer layer, wherein the tray can be sealed with a lid.

Abstract: A coaxial to microstrip transition is introduced in a multi layer mixed dielectric printed circuit board environment that provides a 50 Ohm impedance system between a coaxial antenna feed and a surface mount diplexer at Ku-band frequencies. The 50 Ohm transition from the coaxial antenna feed to the diplexer at microwave frequencies lossy FR-4 style laminate is provided by constructing a PCB internal coax using the center conductor of the antenna feed and a dual ring of plated through hole VIAs. The transition from the PCB internal coax to the microstrip section of the high frequency laminate PCB layer uses a “D”-style opening in the ground layer and a VIA ring arrangement between the layers to optimize or tune the performance of the transition. Additional features in the interface construction are implemented to guaranty that its microwave and mechanical performance does not degrade in extreme environmental conditions.

Abstract: A compact Ku band microwave diplexer configured as a three port surface mount component on a miniature alumina substrate. Input signals occurring at a common port having frequencies within a first pass band are passed to a second port while being isolated from signals occurring at a third port. Signals occurring at the third port are passed to the common port while being isolated from the signals at the second port. A microstrip dual spur line filter is used combined with open circuit stubs to provide enhanced second harmonic suppression on the transmit side, while using a coupled line microstrip filter on the receive side. This approach allows for compact size and automated component assembly through pick and place and reflow manufacturing techniques.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stackable and re-sealable can with a bottom and a lid fold, wherein, inside the lid fold, a peripheral opening line is formed along a web projecting inwardly from the lid fold, said peripheral opening line enclosing a removable can lid, the bottom being smaller than the lid fold, and wherein a can can be stacked with its bottom forming a positive fit in and on a lid fold of a further can, characterised in that there is associated with the can a lid which has a peripheral rim, the outer contour of which corresponds to an inner contour of the web and which, after the can lid has been removed, can be inserted into the web, sealing the can.

Abstract: A solenoid valve, particularly for hot water, has a diaphragm that is disposed with no folds that accumulate air or vapor bubbles. The diaphragm extends in a smooth curve between its outer edge and its inner edge so that the bubbles are directed to the level where the mouth of the inlet conduit enters the valve chamber. Preferably the center axis of the valve chamber and a solenoid system is tipped back to form an obtuse angle with the center axis of the inlet conduit. In addition, the inlet conduit has a portion of the upper inside wall that slopes upwardly in the direction away form the valve chamber and toward the inlet. In this portion, a discharge channel, such as a groove, extends in the direction from the valve chamber to the inlet. The discharge channel helps direct accumulated air and vapor bubbles from the valve chamber out toward the inlet.

Abstract: A fluid control servo-solenoid valve with self-contained actuating fluid includes a housing configured as a small, elongate body having a pair of lengthwise sides and a pair of widthwise sides each relatively shorter than either of the lengthwise sides, whereby the valve inlet and the valve outlet are each disposed on a respective one of the widthwise outer sides of the housing and the inlet/outlet flow direction extends parallel to the housing longitudinal axis. The fluid control servo-solenoid valve with self-contained actuating fluid also includes a differential piston disposed in the housing such that its movement is perpendicular to the housing longitudinal axis. The pilot valve of the fluid control servo-solenoid valve with self-contained actuating fluid is dismountably secured on the respective smaller outer side of the housing on which the valve outlet is located.

Abstract: Active ingredients encapsulated in liposomes which are characterized in that the active ingredient(s) are encapsulated in a proportion of from 1% by weight to 90% by weight based on the amount of active ingredient employed are claimed. These active ingredients are suitable in particular for the treatment of tumors, as food supplements, for producing contrast agents for imaging methods and for producing diagnostic agents for diseases.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composition for the treatment of tumors, of (i) at least one cytostatic drug component which is unencapsulated or is encapsulated in a PEG-, immuno-, or immuno/PEG liposome, (ii) at least one of lyophilized starch particles, degradable starch particles, and gelatine, in combination with (iii) a contrasting agent containing at least one of iodine, gadolinium, and magnetite.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new anti-tumoral therapy agent based on liposome-encapsulated cytostatic agents and/or the metabolites thereof. The invention can be used in the pharmaceutical industry and in medicine. The aim of the invention is to build up drug targeting to combat cancer through suitable carrier systems. The invention is characterized by the fact that it clearly increases the concentration of cytostatic agents and residence time in tumors. At the same time, toxic side-effects on the remaining organs are reduced. The inventive agent contains PEG, immuno or immuno/PEG liposome-encapsulated cytostatic agents and/or the metabolites thereof, degradable starch particles and/or gelatin and/or nanoparticles, contrast agents containing iodine, gadolinium or magnetite. A preferred agent is characterized by the cytostatic agent Carboplatinum, encapsulated in SUV-PEG, starch particle Spherex or Gelfoam and the contrast agent Gadolinium-DTPA.
