Abstract: The invention relates to a waiting time prediction system for visualizing waiting times until the arrival of at least one vehicle (2), in particular a vehicle of the public transit system, at at least one station stop (5). Hardware and/or software expenses are minimized by including the following components: a first device for determining position data of the vehicle (2), a second device for calculating the remaining expected driving time until the arrival of the vehicle (2) at the station stop (5) based on the measured position data of the vehicle (2) and the known coordinates of the station stop (5), and first and second transmission means for transmitting information from the first device to the second device and from the second device to a station stop display (4), wherein the station stop display (4) can be controlled by this second transmission means to indicate the waiting time.

Abstract: A photosensitive mixture which contains a polycondensation product of an aromatic diazonium salt, a water-soluble amphophilic polymeric binder having a mean molecular weight M.sub.w of 5000 to 100,000 and a nonionic surface-active compound having a molecular weight of 150 to 2000 is suitable for the production of printing plates, particularly offset printing plates, which can be developed with pure water and are notable for a rapid ink take-up and long print run.

Abstract: The invention describes a solvent mixture for photohardenable compositions, which includes(a) a first component having(i) a first constituent of(aa) a polar solvent of the formula R-OH, wherein R is a H or alkyl, or(aa') a monoalkylether or an alkylether ester of a glycol and constituent of(ii) a second an organic solvent having a boiling point in the range of from about 60.degree. to 160.degree. C. and comprising an aliphatic ketone, an alkanoic acid alkylester, a hydroxyalkanoic acid alkylester or a cyclic ether,in quantitative proportions selected to form a homogeneous mixture, andb) from about 0.1 to 8% by weight, relative to the total solvent mixture, of another solvent, the boiling point of which is higher than each individual boiling point of the constituents of the first component (a). The solvent mixture is used to obtain coating solutions layers which have a higher photosensitivity than corresponding layers prepared without the addition of component (b).

Abstract: Somatostatin derivatives of general Formula I ##STR1## wherein at least one of the residues X represents a moiety, bound to the free amino group of alanine or lysine, of Formula II ##STR2## with R meaning an alkyl group containing 7-23 carbon atoms, and the residues X which may remain mean hydrogen atoms, are pharmacologically active compounds.

Abstract: A light-sensitive mixture that contains a diazonium salt polycondensation product, a polymeric binder and an organic peroxide which has a scorch temperature of at least 100.degree. C. and, above this temperaure, is capable of forming free radicals is especially useful for the preparation of planographic printing plates, the print run of which can be extended by burning-in the exposed and developed plate. The light-sensitive mixture has a long storage life in the dark.

Abstract: A developer for negative-working reproduction layers and process therefor. The developer includes water, an organic solvent, a surface-active agent, an alkaline agent, a complexing agent, a buffer substance, an emulsifier and an n-alkanoic compound. Use of the developer suppresses speck and fibril formation in the developing process, and can be used in reproduction layers which optionally contain a binder.

Abstract: A mechanism for mounting a detector head including a collimator which comprises a supporting structure having a single trunnion axis for the detector head. A shifting mechanism is provided for shifting the detector head and the supporting structure with respect to each other in a manner that the detector head including the collimator is balanced with respect to the single trunnion axis. For overall balancing purposes the supporting structure also comprises a counterweight for the detector head secured to a detector head support arm and a device for varying the position of the center of gravity of the counterweight with respect to a joint moveably supporting the arm.

Abstract: A device for detachably securing a collimator to a radiation detector, comprising a first and second annular grooves secured to the radiation detector and the collimator respectively, a split ring having a first and second ring ends and being received in the first annular groove, and a ring diameter control system. The latter one includes a rotating hub and a first and second lever systems connected between the first and second ring ends and the rotating hub. By rotating the hub the ring ends are spread by the lever systems between a first position, where the split ring is alone positioned in the first annular groove, and a second position, where the split ring is arranged in both the first and second annular grooves, thereby attaching the collimator to the radiation detector.

Abstract: A structure for supporting a detector head of a radiation detector which comprises an arm having a distal end supporting the head, a base, a joint mounted on the base and moveably supporting the arm and a slotted member rotatably mounted to the base in a predetermined distance from the joint. The slotted member includes a guidance slot. It also contains a mounting mechanism for mounting the arm in the guidance slot at a desired distance from the rotational axis in a manner that the arm is freely slidable along its longitudinal arm axis, and is non-rotatably fixed with respect to the guidance slot. A motor drive rotates the slotted member about its rotational axis.
