The invention further relates to the composition for use as a medicament, particularly for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract: Shading device including a shading structure displaceable between a lowered rest position and a deployed shading position in lateral guiding rails fixed to the vehicle. The shading structure is lowered through a passage into an accommodation chamber, wherein the passage is closed by a pivotably mounted lid. A control mechanism transfers the lid, in response to movement of a drive transmission, into an opened position. The control mechanism includes a control slider movably mounted transverse to the direction of displacement of the shading structure and in operative mechanical connection to the lid. The control mechanism includes a deflection device coupling the control slider, upon a movement of the drive transmission, to the drive transmission such that the control slider, upon movement of the drive transmission from the rest position of the shading structure in the direction of the shading position, transfers the closing lid to the opened position.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a roof, a compartment, and a lid. A roof kinematic system moves the roof between a closed position and a stored position in which the roof is in the compartment. The lid is movable between a closed position in which the lid covers the compartment and an opened position. First and second locks include respective closing parts movable between locked and unlocked positions. A shared kinematic system connects the closing parts to synchronously move them together. When the roof is in its stored position within the compartment and the lid is in its closed position over the compartment, the shared kinematic system moves the closing parts to their locked position such that the first part interacts with the roof and locks the roof within the compartment and the second part interacts with the lid and locks the lid over the compartment.

Abstract: A device and method for movement and measurement of fluid volumes involves defining a fluid volume in a measuring chamber of a rotation vessel by at least first and second pistons movable within the measuring chamber, with the first and second pistons separating and indicating the volume of fluid moved into and out of the measuring chamber via flow-regulating valves. A holding means alternately holds the first and second pistons at fixed positions within the measuring chamber while the other piston rotates. A device and method of respiration involves a respirator including a plurality of flexible gas bags and a stiff gas tank with a first flexible gas bag positioned inside a second flexible gas bag and both gas bags being positioned inside the stiff tank. The respirator is connected to the device for the movement and measurement of fluid volumes via respirator valves.

Abstract: This relates to an apparatus for forcing fill-goods into a container immediately before the lid is applied to the container. There is provided a tamper head which engages the product to force the solids into the container. Associated with the tamper head is a separately axially moved spring-loaded hood having a tapered lower surface which serves first to align a container with the tamper head, then squeeze off any fill-goods which overlies the rim of the container, and then forms a seal with the container rim to prevent liquid fill-goods from overflowing the container as the projecting fill-goods is pressed into the container. The tamper head has a liquid cavity which opens through the lower part of the tamper head and which is controllably opened to the exterior of the tamper head to receive excess liquid during the pressing in of the fill-goods.
