Abstract: The present invention provides conformationally-defined macrocyclic compounds that bind to and/or are functional modulators of the motilin receptor including subtypes, isoforms and/or variants thereof. These macrocyclic compounds, at a minimum, possess adequate pharmacological properties to be useful as therapeutics for a range of disease indications. In particular, these compounds are useful for treatment and prevention of disorders characterized by hypermotilinemia and/or gastrointestinal hypermotility, including, but not limited to, diarrhea, cancer treatment-related diarrhea, cancer-induced diarrhea, chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, radiation enteritis, radiation-induced diarrhea, stress-induced diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, AIDS-related diarrhea, C.

Abstract: To render a gear arrangement for a transmission as quiet as possible but nevertheless able to handle heavy loads, a first gear made of a first material and a second gear made of a second material sit loosely next to one another on a common shaft. The elasticity of the first gear, preferably made of plastic, is chosen to be greater than that of the second gear, preferably made of metal, while the strength of the second gear is chosen to be greater than that of the first gear. Because the second gear preferably exhibits a slightly smaller toothing than the first gear, only the first gear comes into engagement with another gear in normal operation. As the load increases, the first gear made of plastic yields in the elastic range so that now the second gear made of metal also comes into engagement in order to accept the forces occurring and thereby protect the first gear against overloading and fracture. The gear arrangement is generally suitable for transmissions, for example for planetary transmissions.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel conformationally-defined macrocyclic compounds that have been demonstrated to be selective modulators of the ghrelin receptor (GRLN, growth hormone secretagogue receptor, GHS-R1a and subtypes, isoforms and/or variants thereof). Methods of synthesizing the novel compounds are also described herein. These compounds are useful as antagonists or inverse agonists of the ghrelin receptor and as medicaments for treatment and prevention of a range of medical conditions including, but not limited to, metabolic and/or endocrine disorders, obesity and obesity-associated disorders, appetite or eating disorders, addictive disorders, cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, genetic disorders, hyperproliferative disorders, central nervous system disorders and inflammatory disorders.

Abstract: For assembling/disassembling a printed circuit board, a specially shaped spring is to be integrated inside the device. The assembly/disassembly of the printed circuit board in the device is simplified by virtue of the fact that the printed circuit board has to be pressed only against the spring and a fixed supporting part of the device to which the spring is attached. In order to be able to press the printed circuit board, among other things, perpendicularly against the fixed supporting part, the specially designed leg spring is fastened underneath the fixed supporting part. The legs of this spring protrude outward on both sides beyond the top-side of the supporting part. During assembly, the printed circuit board is guided between the top-side and the protruding spring legs. The printed circuit board is fixed by additional supporting parts of the device.

Abstract: In order to check hand luggage and other objects carried by persons, control stations are needed, which have a control unit, in particular an X-ray checking unit, a conveyor which extends through the control unit, a depositing point which is arranged ahead of the conveyor, and a removal point which is arranged behind the conveyor, for the objects and having transport tubs which can be placed onto the conveyor. Small objects and items of clothing are placed in the transport tubs and conveyed through the control unit for checking. A return conveyor for the transport tubs is arranged next to or below the conveyor which passes through the control unit, which return conveyor reaches from the removal point behind the conveyor at least as far as into the region of the depositing point ahead of the conveyor.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating a liquid includes a housing having an internal chamber and a rotor disposed in the chamber. The rotor is preferably cylindrical and operates inside a bore provided by the housing without touching, the shape of the bore preferably being parallel with the exterior surface of the rotor, and a series of openings disposed over the rotor surface. At least one internal passageway in the rotor and elements for: pre-heating some or all the incoming fluid in the chamber; priming the chamber initially; cooling certain temperature sensitive components; injecting fluid into a partially evacuated volume; developing a vacuum state during operation expeditiously.
