Abstract: The invention relates to a process for screening antimycotically active substances, in which process essential mycete genes, in particular Saccharomyces cerevisae genes and functionally homologous and/or sequentially homologous mycete genes, are employed as targets. A process for finding antimycotically active substances, wherein essential mycete genes are employed as targets.

Abstract: A brake for a flap adjusting mechanism and a method for condition monitoring are proposed. The brake has one or more temperature sensors (30). In the method for condition monitoring, the temperature signal is compared with a desired temperature (T1, T2) in the signal processing unit in a time period during or after a rotation of the driveshaft (2) in the housing (4) while expending the braking moment. An error signal is produced in case of deviations of the temperature signal from the desired temperature.

Abstract: A stacked-sheet prefeeder comprises a sheet guiding device for receiving therein a stack of sheets, an intermediate tray, a scale former for removing sheets, arranged in a stack and/or in a scalelike mode of arrangement, jointly from the lower surface of the stack received in the sheet guiding device and for introducing these sheets into the intermediate tray in a first direction of movement, a sheet separator for removing from the intermediate tray the respective lowermost sheet as a single sheet in a second direction of movement which is substantially opposed to the first direction of movement, and a guide means arranged in the intermediate tray and used for guiding the sheets in the intermediate tray at their sheet edges constituting the front sheet edges in the second direction of movement, the guide means being implemented as a transport and guide means in such a way that it moves the sheet edges constituting the front sheet edges in the second direction of movement in the interior of the intermediate tr

Abstract: A device for producing a scaled stream with a controllable scaled-stream thickness has a sheet guiding device for receiving therein a stack of sheets, a first transport means, which has a selectively operable or controllable drive, which engages only the lower surface of the stack of sheets and which is arranged relative to the stack of sheets in such a way that the stack of sheets rests thereon with at least a first part of its weight, a second transport means, which is arranged behind the first transport means when seen in the direction of the stream of sheets, which is arranged relative to the stack of sheets in such a way that, when the second transport means is operated without operating the first transport means, it will transport only sheets which have already been drawn out of the stack of sheets by the first transport means, and which is also arranged relative to the stack of sheets in such a way that the stack of sheets rests thereon only with a second part of its weight, the second part of its weig
