Abstract: A filter device for ambient air filtration has a blower housing with air inlet and air outlet. A device for generating an air flow is arranged in the blower housing and generates an air flow in operation from air inlet to air outlet. A flexible air conducting hose is provided with a first open end connected to the air outlet of the blower housing and with a second closed end. The flexible air conducting hose has openings arranged between first open end and second closed end. Filter elements are arranged in the openings, respectively. The filter elements separate a raw side inside the air conducting hose from a clean side downstream of the filter element. The air conducting hose is inflated in operation of the device by the air flow. The flexible air conducting hose has a reduced air permeability compared to the air permeability of the filter elements.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat with upper rails guided in lower rails, motors for respectively driving the upper rails and a seat shell. An aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails displaces the seat shell in a straight line. A displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail rotates the seat shell about a vertical axis. An initial position is stored. The seat shell is moved in a straight line out of the initial position into a starting position. From the starting position the seat shell is rotated by a first angle into an intermediate position. The seat shell is moved in a straight line in the direction of travel into a first central position. The seat shell is rotated by a second angle into an end position.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations which have a UVA balance of more than 15, and use thereof.

Abstract: A method of repelling wasps, which method comprises using a preparation comprising (a) one or more of ethyl 3-(N-n-butyl-N-acetylamino)propionate, dihydronepetalactone, and extract of catmint, and (b) at least one compound selected from certain perfume ingredients. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological preparations show improved sensory properties and sufficient microbiological stability due to the addition of benzethonium chloride, methylisothiazolinone, piroctone olamine and/or lauroyl ethyl arginate, the cosmetic or dermatological preparations not comprising any other preservatives, and are especially free of parabens and/or phenoxyethanol.

Abstract: In a drive unit for a vehicle seat, having a motor which has a motor shaft as an output, and a multi-stage transmission which is driven by the motor shaft and which has an output shaft as an output, the transmission has at least one spur gear stage in which a drive wheel and an output gear, which are each embodied as spur gear wheels, mesh with one another, and the output shaft is arranged offset in parallel with the motor shaft.

Abstract: The present invention is a water-in-oil emulsion having a high content of water and relatively high amounts of skin-moisturizing agents and a cosmetic or dermatological stick including the water-in-oil emulsion. The present invention also includes methods of moisturizing the skin using the water-in-oil emulsion. The water-in-oil emulsion is solid at room temperature and comprises a fatty phase with at least one oil component and at least one wax component, an aqueous phase with a skin-moisturizing agent in addition to water, a water-in-oil emulsifier having the general structure A-B-A?, where A? and A? represent the same or different hydrophobic inorganic groups and B is a hydrophilic group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin patch comprising a matrix adhering to the skin and containing at least one active cosmetic substance and a combination with a skin wrapping to generate an effective compression for the treatment of cellulite and/or striae.
