  • Patent number: 11519937
    Abstract: A contact element system has a plurality of pin-type or needle-type and electrically conductive contact elements of equal length, which each have two end regions for electrically contacting contact positions and each have an intermediate region under longitudinal loading, overcoming their bending rigidity, and are designed with lamellar sections in the intermediate region such that they have at least two strips which are substantially parallel to each other and run at a distance from one another. At least two of the contact elements have different cross sectional surfaces and differently formed strips in the intermediate region, wherein the forms of the strips are chosen such that the contact elements have the same or approximately the same bending rigidity.

  • Publication number: 20120161456
    Abstract: A locking device for an automobile includes a rotary latch supported in the housing for rotation, a locking bracket lockingly engaging with the locking device when the rotary latch is in a locked position, a catch hook having a hook section constructed to securely engage behind the locking bracket when the catch hook is in a catch position, and a locking pawl controlling rotation of the rotary latch. In response to a first unlocking actuation, the locking pawl is unlocked, rotating the rotary latch into the opening direction of rotation up to an unlocking position of the rotary latch which unlocks the locking bracket. In response to a second unlocking actuation, the catch hook rotates into the opening direction of rotation up to a release position of the locking bracket of the locking pawl, thereby releasing the catch hook.

  • Patent number: 7939118
    Abstract: An oligosaccharide mixture based on oligosaccharides from one or several animal milks composed of two or more monosaccharide units. The oligosaccharide mixture comprises at least two oligosaccharide fractions which are each composed of at least two different oligosaccharides. Lactose does not pertain thereto and the total spectrum of the oligosaccharides in the oligosaccharide mixture differs from those present in animal milk or animal milks, wherefrom the oligosaccharide fractions are extracted and that a) if the oligosaccharides are extracted from only one animal milk, the proportion of neutral oligosaccharides to acidic oligosaccharides is 90-60:10-40 weight %, or b) if the oligosaccharides are extracted from at least two animal milks, the oligosaccharides extracted from two different animal milks each make up 10 weight % of the total amount of oligosaccharides present in the oligosaccharide mixture. The oligosaccharide mixture approximates human milk with respect to its positive properties.
