Abstract: A connecting device (21) for non-positively joining a first structural element (11) to a second structural element (16) comprises a hollow body (22) that forms a cavity (23) and that has an insertion opening (24) for inserting a joining element (36). An anchoring agent (31) for anchoring the joining element (36) that is inserted into the cavity (23) is provided in the cavity (23) of the hollow body (22), whereby the anchoring agent (31; 61) and the hollow body (22) together form a prefabricated unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for creating a connection with such a connecting device.

Abstract: A motor vehicle with a movable convertible top includes a control device for controlling a convertible top motion and a device for the recognition of the convertible top position. The device for convertible top position recognition continuously monitors the position of the convertible top. The position of a defined element of the convertible top is determined by means of at least one acceleration sensor that measures the current acceleration in relationship to the acceleration of free fall.

Abstract: Disclosed are monomers which contain groups that are at least trinuclear, which are capable of absorbing the electromagnetic radiation of visible light, and which are structured such that in their thermodynamically stable state they are distended and strongly anisometric. Homopolymers prepared from such monomers, a process of preparing such homopolymers, and articles comprising such homopolymers are also disclosed. The trinuclear groups of the monomers include at least one electron-attracting substituent which gives rise to a dipole moment which forms an angle of at least 20° with the longitudinal axis of the trinuclear groups.

Abstract: A homopolymer formed from monomers which contain groupings which are at least trinuclear, which are capable of absorbing the electromagnetic radiation of visible light, and which are structured so that in their thermodynamically stable state they are distended and strongly anisometric, is disclosed. The trinuclear groups of the homopolymer include at least one electron-attracting substituent which gives rise to a dipole moment which forms an angle of at least 20° with the longitudinal axis of the trinuclear groups. The homopolymer contains covalently bonded side groups branching from the backbone represented by the following formula, —§—T—Q—E. In the formula: § represents one of oxygen, sulphur and NR1; T represents a (CH2)n radical, optionally interrupted by, for example, —O—; Q represents a divalent linking group; and E represents the trinuclear group, e.g.

Abstract: Disclosed is an extremely rapidly photo-addressable storage media from inherently slow photo-addressable polymers by irradiating a substrate over a large area with a light source suitable for conventional inscription so that an optical anisotropy, i.e. a double refraction with a preferential direction in the plane of the substrate occurs. If the substrates so prepared are briefly intensively irradiated, the pattern is inscribed extremely rapidly and permanently. The invention also relates to novel side-chain polymers in which high optical anisotropy can be generated by irradiation. This optical anisotropy is very heat stable.

Abstract: Strips of coherent, exposed and developed film frames are advanced past, and discrete frames are placed onto, a window at a monitoring station where successive increments of the film frames are monitored by a device having photocells forming at least one row which extends transversely of the path of advancement of strips. The monitoring device is at a standstill during advancement of strips but is transported past a discrete frame at the monitoring station. Such monitoring device can ascertain the density of film frames, and its photocells generate signals which are used to image the frames onto photographic paper.
