Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved treatment protocol using Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT). In particular, the present invention relates ILIT in relation to grass allergy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a smokeless cigarette system comprising a reusable cigarette tube and a nicotine stick which can be discarded after use. The nicotine stick comprises a depot filter charged with a nanobead solution and nicotine and flavor substances attached thereto or incorporated therein, and a mouthpiece filter, which are joined together and produced at the factory stage. The disclosed smokeless cigarette is particularly suited for use in non-smoking areas to prevent stress caused by nicotine withdrawal and as a cigarette substitute, but can also be used in different types of cigarettes with varied dosage strengths to ensure gentle nicotine withdrawal and smoke disintoxication. Neither the environment nor other persons are harmed of put at risk by this system by either passive smoking or the generation of odour. The system can be handled in a simple and unproblematic manner since no heat source or heating systems are required.

Abstract: The invention relates to a functional part of an electronic piston stroke pipette with an operating environment adapted to manual piston stroke pipettes. The piston stroke pipette according to the invention comprises a pipette cone, in which there is a movable piston, rigidly connected with a transmission for its upwards and downwards movements via a piston rod, in which context the transmission is propelled by a drive motor and wherein the control board comprises an upper part as the operating part for turning and pressing and a bar as a cylindrical connection to the electronics, with the control board and display integrated in the display housing in the upper part and drive motor and battery (rechargeable battery) in the lower part of the pipette housing. Fields of application of the invention are analytical chemistry and medicinal diagnostics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel smokeless cigarette system comprising two parts: a reusable cigarette tube (1) and a nicotine stick (5) which can be discarded after use. The nicotine stick (5), comprising a deposit filter (2) that is charged with a nanobead solution (4) and nicotine and flavour substances attached thereto or incorporated therein, and the mouthpiece filter (3) are joined together and produced at the factory stage. All parts closely reproduce a cigarette as detailed as possible in terms of their outer appearance, design, dimensions, draw resistance during use, taste and nicotine absorption. According to the invention, the smokeless cigarette is particularly suited for use by smokers in non-smoking areas in order to prevent stress caused by nicotine withdrawal and as a cigarette substitute, but can also be used in different types of cigarettes with varied dosage strengths to ensure a gentle (slow) nicotine withdrawal and smoker disintoxication.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring the difference between the velocity and/or position of a vibration-suppressing cylinder and that of a piston connected to a piston rod and moving back and forth inside the cylinder in a dashpot for motor vehicles. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and of a winding in the form of a cylindrical coil and operating in conjunction with the magnet. The magnet is connected directly or indirectly to one of the mutually moving components and the winding is connected directly or indirectly to the other. The component that the magnet (5) rests against and the component that the winding (7) rests against constitute a complete circuit that carries the magnet's field.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring the speed and/or position of a piston in relation to that of the cylinder it moves inside of in a dashpot of shock absorber for motor vehicles. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet (10) connected to the cylinder (1) and of a sensor winding (9) in the form of a cylindrical coil that operates in conjunction with the magnet. The sensor winding has leads at the ends. Additional leads for a shorter winding component (7 and 8) extend out separately upstream of the ends of the sensor winding.

Abstract: The invention concerns a vibration-absorber sensor for the semi-actively controlled chassis of a motor vehicle wherein the relative velocity of the wheel mass to the body mass is measured with a sensor winding and a permanent magnet and processed in a circuit.

Abstract: In a method for the production of cylindrically symmetric bodies with given radial gradient of the material properties, for example of the refractive index, at least two rod-shaped molded bodies consisting of materials with different properties are joined in parallel and, following lowering of the viscosity of both materials, the bodies are twisted many times in a spiral around a longitudinal axis, such that a desired radial gradient of the material properties arises, where metallic, semiconducting, or insulating materials may be used, and the viscosity is varied through changing the temperature or adding or removing a solvent.

Abstract: A new phototropic glass in which the phototropic properties arise from precipitations of silver halide and which in the unirradiated condition is slightly tinted or completely colorless while showing a brown color in the light-exposed condition, comprises, in known phototropic glass compositions, an additional content of at least 0.001 wt % of TeO.sub.2 and/or Yb.sub.2 O.sub.3.
