Abstract: A sputtering device to sputter a liquid target. The sputtering device including a trough to receive a liquid target material and a device to stir or agitate the liquid target material. The device configured to degas the liquid target material or/and to dissipate solid particles or islands on a surface of the target or/and to move such particles or islands from an active surface region to a passive surface region and/or vice-versa, whereby the passive surface region is at least 50% less exposed to sputtering as the active surface region.

Abstract: A processing station for a processing line, having a module platform (12) and a plurality of withdrawable modules (14) that can be introduced into it has a transporting device (40, 42) for transporting workpieces (59) to be processed at the processing station (10). According to the invention, the transporting device (40, 42) includes a plurality of part-transporting devices (43), and one part-transporting device (43) is associated with each withdrawable module (14) and is solidly connected to the withdrawable module (14). Moreover, at least some of the part-transporting devices 43 include a first transportation path (40), which is embodied for transporting a workpiece (56) essentially over the width of the withdrawable module (14) in a first transporting direction (T1).

Abstract: A device for excavating and transporting material, especially earth, the device comprising an excavation appliance that can be rotated about a rotational axis (y) in a rotational direction (u), and a longitudinal conveyor for transporting the excavated material. The excavation appliance comprises an impeller having a conically extending guide surface arranged around the rotational axis (y) in a rotationally symmetrical manner, and guide vanes which radially protrude from the conical guide surface and form an acute angle in relation to the rotational axis (y).

Abstract: In a valve, the number of components of the valve pipe is reduced, so that the number of joints and connecting points is also reduced,. The entire valve pipe is manufactured from magnetically conductive material, so that one can dispense with non-magnetic adapters. The valve is especially suited for use in fuel-injection systems of mixture-compressing internal-combustion engines having externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is described, which contains a fraction consisting of low molecular proteins and/or oligo peptides, and a yellow fraction containing riboflavine, which is associated with organ specific oligo peptides, which fractions are obtainable by fractionation of thymus extract. This composition has a significant immuno stimulating activity, and can be used for the treatment of immuno deficiency diseases, as for example, for T-cell-deficiencies.

Abstract: A method and mechanism for the separation of materials from a stream of pulverulent material such as cement including a rotatable plate onto which the material is fed with the material being centrifugally discharged in a bell shaped flow pattern, a radially inwardly directed flow of air across the veil carrying fine materials inwardly through a rotatable distributor; and coaxial dip tubes centrally located for receiving the gradations of fine material passing gravitationally downwardly, with the coarse materials remaining outside of the distributor and being received in a downward flow.

Abstract: An arrangement for calendering bands of paper and like materials has one or more inelastic calendering rollers. Elastically deformable working rollers are associated with the calendering roller or rollers and are movable between operative positions in which they cooperate with the calendering roller or rollers to calender the bands and inoperative positions. Each of the rollers is rotated at a predetermined peripheral speed at which it calenders the bands. At least one of the working rollers has a drive capable of rotating it at a peripheral speed which is a small fraction of the predetermined peripheral speed. This working roller serves as a spare and is held in its inoperative position during a calendering operation while being rotated at a lower peripheral speed.

Abstract: Aliphatic amine nicotinates (I) and N-oxide nicotinates (II) of the formulae ##STR1## have advantageous therapeutic properties, particularly for dilating blood vessels.

Abstract: N-mono-substituted ureas represented by ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, or thiol, R.sub.1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4, have therapeutic properties.

Abstract: Novel blood extracts of vertebrata, i.e. animals having a vertebral column, especially warm blooded animals, which blood extracts possess cell respiration stimulating activity and stimulate the growth of cells and to novel processes for the preparation of the said blood extracts.

Abstract: Compositions derived from spleens of vertebrata and process for obtaining the said compositions which are useful for increasing or decreasing the normal rate of tissue growth.
