Abstract: A night vision attachment (NSV) mountable on a firearm and intended for a sighting telescope (ZF), comprising an objective (1) of the night vision attachment, a low-light-level amplifier (2), an optical assembly (3) and an eyepiece (4) of the night vision attachment, is formed in such a way that a beam offset between radiation entering through the objective (1) of the night vision attachment and emerging through the eyepiece (4) of the night vision attachment is achieved by means of the optical assembly. The offset takes place from the optical axis (A1) of the objective (1) of the night vision attachment on to the optical axis (A2) of the eyepiece (4) of the night vision attachment, the latter corresponding substantially to the optical axis (A2) of the sighting telescope (ZF) downstream of the attachment. Consequently, night vision attachment (NSV) and sighting telescope (ZF) can be mounted as close as possible to the housing of the firearm.

Abstract: A circuit for processing a supply voltage with a voltage peak to obtain an output signal with reduced or eliminated voltage peak, comprises a first capacitance and a second capacitance, wherein a controllable resistor is formed between the first and second capacitance in series to the same, which has a high resistance when a voltage at the first capacitance is smaller than an input voltage set value, and whose resistance is reduced to a lower resistance when the input voltage at the first capacitance is higher than or equal to the input voltage set value, so that finally, when the output voltage at the second capacitance reaches an output voltage set value, the controllable resistor is substantially no longer visible, but connects the two capacitances in parallel.

Abstract: A method for the assessment of the product shelf life in a package, and a device for accelerating the permeation of a test gas into a package. To significantly reduce the test time and to accelerate the permeation of a test gas, and in order to supply realistic results of the time-dependent permeations into the charged product in a simple manner, a closed package filled with charged product is placed in an overpressure chamber, and stored in the overpressure chamber over a specified time period under overpressure and at a specified temperature in a test gas atmosphere, wherein a defined amount of test gas permeates into the package. The package is stored over a certain time period under the influence of heat and/or light and then the charged product is subjected to analytical and/or sensory examination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of guanidinoacetic acid and/or salts thereof as feed additive, in predominantly vegetarian diets, in particular use being made of salts with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid and phosphoric acid. The use proceeds especially in individual doses from 0.01 to 100 g/kg of feed in the form of powders, granules, pastilles or capsules, the feed additive also being able to be used in combination with other physiologically active materials of value. The claimed use which is suitable especially for breeding and growing livestock, has recourse to a compound which is in particular stable in aqueous solution, can be converted to creatine under physiological conditions, and, in contrast to other guanidine derivatives, is completely available to physiological sectors of use.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for monitoring the concentration of analytes in body fluids, in particular in interstitial fluid and comprises a catheter having an implantable region and an outlet opening for withdrawing fluid in particular body fluid. A first and a second analytical zone are contacted sequentially with fluid from the catheter and undergo a detectable change when an analyte is present. The analytical zones can be contacted manually with fluid and also preferably in an automated fashion by means of a device. A system according to the invention additionally has an analytical device for analysing the analytical zones in order to determine the concentration of the analyte on the basis of changes caused by the analyte. A further subject matter of the present invention are catheters for use in systems according to the invention as well as magazines containing test zones.

Abstract: In a process for deacidifying a fluid hydrocarbon stream which comprises carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or other acid gases as impurities, the fluid stream is brought into intimate contact with an absorption liquid in an absorption or extraction zone (12), the substantially purified fluid stream and the absorption liquid which is loaded with CO2 and/or other acid gases are separated from one another, and the absorption liquid is subsequently regenerated and then again fed to the absorption extraction zone (12). To regenerate the absorption liquid, the loaded absorption liquid is first expanded in a first low-pressure expansion stage (22) to a pressure of from 1 to 2 bar (absolute). The partially regenerated absorption liquid is then heated in a heat exchanger (20) and then, in a second low-pressure expansion stage (29), again expanded to a pressure of from 1 to 2 bar (absolute).

Abstract: A method for controlling a braking system of a vehicle is described, in which the braking system has at least a first control unit for controlling a first braking force on at least one wheel brake of a wheel of the vehicle, and an accumulator for receiving a pressurized medium, the method including generating the first braking force by at least one of a first hydraulic component and a first pneumatic component, filling the accumulator with the medium independently of the at least one of the first hydraulic component and the first pneumatic components via a relative movement between at least one wheel and a vehicle body, and generating a second braking force at predefinable times on the at least one wheel brake as a function of the filling of the accumulator.
