Abstract: An electromechanical parking lock for a motor vehicle includes a locking element for reversible engagement in a parking lock wheel, an actuating element that can be pre-loaded by an actuating spring in order to insert the locking element into the parking lock wheel, an electric motor with an actuating unit for moving the actuating element out of the locked position (P) against the spring force of the actuating spring into an unlocked position (nP), and a solenoid that, in the unlocked position (nP), holds the actuating element pre-loaded via a securing element. The parking lock has an emergency locking position (Not-P) in which the parking lock is unlocked and in which the securing element can be released by the electric motor without changing the state of the solenoid so that the locked position (P) can be assumed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mask inspection method that can be used for the design and production of masks, in order to detect relevant weak points early on and to correct the same. According to said method for mask inspection, an aerial image simulation, preferably an all-over aerial image simulation, is carried out on the basis of the mask design converted into a mask layout, in order to determine a list of hot spots. The mask/test mask is analysed by means of an AIMS tool, whereby real aerial images are produced and compared with the simulated aerial images. The determined differences between the aerial images are used to improve the mask design. The inventive arrangement enables a method to be carried out for mask inspection for mask design and mask production. The use of the AIMS tool directly in the mask production process essentially accelerates the mask production, while reducing the error rate and cost.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pigment mixture consisting of at least two constituents, constituent A being uncoated, monocoated or multicoated glass lamellae, and constituent B being nacreous pigments based on phyllosilicates, SiO2 lamellae, Fe2O3 lamellae or Al2O3 lamellae. The invention also relates to the use of said pigment mixture, inter alia, in paints, dyes, especially printing inks, plastics, powder paints, pastes and cosmetic formulations.

Abstract: An arrangement making use of two-dimensional arrays consisting of individually controllable elements, for forming aperture diaphragms in the beam paths of optical devices. In an arrangement of diaphragm apertures and/or filters, in which the form, position and/or optical characteristics can be changed, for use in optical devices, at least one two-dimensional array, consisting of individually controllable elements, is arranged for forming the diaphragm apertures and/or filters in the optical imaging and/or illumination beam paths and is connected with a control unit for controlling the individual elements In this way, the geometry, the optical characteristics and/or the position of the aperture diaphragms and/or the filters can be controlled very quickly. These changes can also be made “online” during the process of measurement or adjustment in the sense of optical fine tuning.

Abstract: Elongate cylinder head gasket for a multicylinder engine comprising a chain case, with a chain case part which is to be mounted following clamping of the gasket and is guided for displacement parallel to the plane of the gasket; in order that the cylinder head gasket will not be damaged at its one narrow side when inserting this chain case part, the outer edge area of a center narrow side portion on this narrow side is bent out of the plane of the gasket, more particularly, in a direction which points away from the chain case part which is to be inserted.

Abstract: A lithotripter for the contactless comminution of concrements in living beings includes a flat coil cooperating with a juxtaposed membrane which upon energization of the coil produces shockwaves in an adjacent liquid, the liquid being in contact with the body of the living being, there being an insulation between the coil and the membrane, the coil having two or three parallely positioned wires for multiple windings with each winding having the same number of wires, and being electrically connected in parallel.

Abstract: A lithotripter has a source for focussed shockwaves and an X-ray device which is mounted for relative displacement and positioning in relation to that source of shockwaves; an improvement includes a device for aiming and sighting in cooperation with the X-ray equipment that includes a carrier element defining a first pair of X-ray contrasting aligned reference points and two additional X-ray contrasting reference points, on a second line and intersecting the first line at a point of intersection at about 15 to 45 degrees; and that aiming and sighting device is mounted in relation to said source of focussed shockwaves such that the point of intersection coincide with a focal point of the shockwave source.
