Abstract: The construction kit consisting of wall elements and connectors to be inserted therebetween is designed in order to erect room dividers. The wall elements are produced by compressing fiber material and have at least one connecting flank which is systematically provided with contours. The connectors are designed as a profiled rail on which there is at least one connection which has systematically arranged mating contours. The contours on the wall elements can be brought into form-fitting engagement with the mating contours on the connectors. The fiber material used for producing the wall elements is a compressed polyester nonwoven fabric or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. The connector is an extruded profile, preferably made of aluminum. The construction kit essentially comprises rectilinear wall elements, differently curved wall elements and a three-winged wall element with three connecting flanks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule, to a kit which comprises the nucleic acid molecule, to methods for detecting fungi in clinical material and for determining the sequence of ribosomal fungal genes, and to kits for carrying out these methods.

Abstract: A method is presented for detecting resistant fungal cells in clinical material. First, fungus-specific nucleic acids are extracted from clinical material. Then, the fungus-specific nucleic acids are hybridized with hybridization probes directed against nucleic acids segments of azole derivative-resistant fungal cells. Prior to the hybridization a PCR reaction may be performed in which segments of the 14-&agr;-lanosterol demethylase gene are amplified. Primers and probes for the PCR rejection and the hybridization, respectively, are also presented.

Abstract: The invention proceeds from a system for adjusting a motor vehicle transmission, which is changeable in its transmission gear ratio, the transmission having an efficiency characteristic which is dependent on the transmission gear ratio. A first quantity is detected which represents the actual transmission output rpm and a second quantity is determined which represents a desired value for the drive torque. Then, a desired rpm of the vehicle engine is determined at least in dependence upon the detected first quantity and the determined second quantity and in dependence upon the efficiency characteristic of the transmission. The adjustment of the transmission gear ratio takes place in dependence upon the desired rpm of the vehicle engine which is so determined. With the invention, transmission influences are considered in the determination of the optimal transmission gear ratio within a system for the coordinated drive train control.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for regulating an automobile transmission whose ratio can be modified. The gear has a transmission-dependent efficiency characteristic.

Abstract: The invention proceeds from a motor vehicle having a drive train and the elements of the drive train are rotatable. The determination of a quantity, which represents the traction resistance, takes place in such a manner that an acceleration quantity is detected. This acceleration quantity represents the instantaneous acceleration of the vehicle. Furthermore, a reference quantity for the acceleration of the vehicle is detected and the quantity, which represents the traction resistance, is determined in dependence upon a comparison of the detected acceleration quantity with the determined reference quantity. The essence of the invention is that a rotation quantity is determined which represents the rotation torque of at least one element mounted in the drive train. The determination of the reference quantity takes place in accordance with the invention in dependence upon the determined rotation quantity.

Abstract: The invention proceeds from a system for considering differing amounts of components for determining at least one control quantity such as for controlling the operation of a motor vehicle. Such a system is known from the state of the art wherein a value is determined as a control quantity for the adaptive transmission control. This value characterizes the type of driver or the driving style. At least two different supply objects (for example, start-up evaluation, gradient evaluation) are provided with the aid of which, for each case, a component for determining the control quantity is determined. The determined components are then supplied to at least one collector which forms the evaluation quantity, for example, by maximum formation, weighted and/or moving-window sum formation of the individually determined components. The essence of the invention is that means are provided with which the supply of the components of the supply objects is controlled to the collector.

Abstract: The invention proceeds from a control of the drive train of a motor vehicle having at least a drive unit and an automatic transmission. During driving operation, a desired value for the drive torque of the vehicle or for the transmission output torque is pregiven by the driver. The different operating points of the drive train are characterized by at least different output torques of the drive unit and rpm ratios and/or different output rpms of the drive unit. The essence of the invention is that, during driving operation, a set of evaluation quantities is determined for each possible operating point. One of the possible operating points is then selected as an optimal operating point via an optimization method based on the determined evaluation quantities. The transmission ratio, which belongs to this selected optimal operating point, is then adjusted on the transmission.

Abstract: A beverage vessel holder is provided for vehicles having a housing integrated into a vehicle part, such as the dashboard, center armrest or the like. A beverage vessel receiving device is axially slidable in the housing and has insertion openings for the inserting of beverage vessels. A beverage vessel support is pivotally connected to the receiving device and carries a placing surface which supports the beverage vessels on the bottom side below the insertion openings and can be swivelled into the receiving device. For improving the stability of smaller-diameter beverage vessels in the aesthetically attractively constructed beverage vessel holder, the beverage vessel support hat a rectangular plate with at least one cup-shaped insertion indentation constructed therein coaxially with respect to the insertion opening in the receiving device. On two opposite sides in the sliding direction of the receiving device, the plate is in each case pivotally connected on the bottom edge of a transverse web.
