Abstract: A slip ring system of an electrically excited dynamoelectric machine can be designed to be closed or open and includes a carrier segment configured to include a brush holder which includes a brush pocket for receiving a brush. The brush holder includes means for cooling the brush in the brush holder and/or for cooling the brush holder and has a surface-enlarging structure so as to enable a cooling air flow to be guided within the slip ring system and thereby cool the brush holder and/or brush pocket.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioning unit having an air duct, having a fan for conveying an airflow through the air duct, having a heat exchanger for the thermal conditioning of the airflow and having an apparatus for noise reduction, which apparatus has a microphone, a loudspeaker and an evaluation and control unit, the microphone being arranged in a housing indentation of the duct wall of the air duct, the housing indentation having a wall and the loudspeaker being arranged at least partially in an opening of the duct wall of the air duct in a manner which is spaced apart from the microphone in the direction of the noise emission, wherein the wall of the housing indentation is curved at least partially, the housing indentation of the microphone being covered with a porous acoustically transparent material.

Abstract: In a method and system for data and signal transfer between different sub-units of a medically-related system, in particular a CT system, digitized signals and digital data are transmitted together on a transmission line by means of serial multiplexing. The digitized signals and the digital data are transferred combined into individual packets having a length that is so small that the adherence to a predetermined updating rate of the signals is achieved. The expenditure for the wiring as well as for future expansions in medically-related systems can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: In a capacitive biometric sensor, in particular, a fingerprint sensor, to determine the maximum contrast that can actually be achieved in that application in the gray scale values, in particular, of a fingerprint (dynamic resolution of the sensor), at least one measurement point composed of a dielectric material is integrated above each of the sensor electrodes on a sensor array.

Abstract: An externally administrable pharmaceutical which contains an effective amount of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid in a base is obtained by drug dissolution in a mixture of C.sub.6-12 carboxylic acid triglycerides, glycerol monostearate-polyoxyethylene stearate mixture and polyoxyethylene-fatty acid esters. A cream is obtained by stirring this solution with an aqueous phase in the presence of heat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new isopropyl amine compounds and processes for preparing the same. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing said isopropyl amine compounds.The new isopropyl amine compounds correspond to the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents a nitrophenyl radical, which may be substituted one or more times by halogen, preferably chloride, and/or by lower straignt- or branched-chain alkyl radicals containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms an/or by alkoxy radicals containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and salts thereof with physiologically compatible acids.
