Abstract: The invention relates to the use of one or more surface-active substances selected from the group consisting of surfactants, which have a ratio of hemolysis value to denaturation index of greater than or equal to 1, for obtaining or increasing the selectivity of cosmetic or dermatological cleansing preparations.

Abstract: The invention is a cosmetic or dermatological cleaning preparation, comprising one or more interface-active substances selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucosides having the formula where R is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having 4 to 24 carbon atoms and where {overscore (DP)} is an average degree of glucosylation of up to 2. The preparation can be applied to the skin to improve a skin condition. In particular, the alkyl glucosides of the invention can be used in cosmetic or dermatological preparations to obtain or enhance selectivity the cosmetic or dermatological cleaning formulations.

Abstract: The present invention is a cosmetic cleaning product, comprising a foamable, aqueous cleaning preparation comprising one or more nonionic surfactants and one or more anionic surfactants, and a pumpfoamer comprising a storage container and a pump mechanism in the form of a closure and having a riser tube for foaming the cleaning preparation present in the storage container. The present invention also includes a method of cleansing the skin or hair by applying the cleansing product to the skin or hair through the use of the pumpfoamer.

Abstract: A skin cleansing composition comprising water, a surfactant, a thickener, an abrasive having an average particle size of 75 to 400 &mgr;m, and talc having an average particle size of 1 to 20 &mgr;m.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring the temperature of an oil in a housing (4) of a transmission (2) with a temperature sensor (20) which can come into contact with the oil. The temperature sensor (20) is arranged outside the oil sump (16) in the transmission housing (4) and is preferably integrated directly in the transmission controller (18).

Abstract: A covering especially for roads consisting of mineral fillers, reclaimed rubber and a binder based on bitumen, it being possible to incorporate 5 to 30% by weight of reclaimed rubber and the binder comprising a hot-homogenized blend of bitumen and thermoplastic polymers, especially of the radial teleblock copolymer type being used. The resultant coverings are capable of reducing the annoyance caused by rolling noises etc. without the necessity of putting up with losses of other qualities.

Abstract: A roller electrode, to be used for the support of sheet-metal strips in an electrorefining bath, has a hollow-cylindrical steel body spacedly surrounded by steel tubing for the circulation of a cooling fluid. A thin-walled shell of steel or nickel alloy, spacedly enveloping the tubing, defines with the roller body an annular space filled with a mass of lower-melting metal such as copper in which the tubing is embedded. The shell may extend partly around two stub shafts extending integral with the roller body at opposite ends therefrom. In making the electrode, the shell is heated above the melting point of the lower-melting metal which is then introduced in a molten state into the space containing the tubing where it is allowed to harden.
