Abstract: A method and device for electrically braking an electric drive in a machine for processing printing material, includes a power electronics connected between the electric drive and a DC voltage intermediate circuit. A further electric braking device is switchable between the electric drive and the power electronics. Upon a failure of a power system, a computer initiates a generator-type braking operation through the power electronics. The further electric braking device is switched on upon the failure of the power electronics.

Abstract: A device and method for synchronizing at least two printing-unit groups (2, 3) which represent a sheet-fed printing machine (1). Between the two printing-unit groups (2, 3) there is provided a transfer unit (10) being operable by means of a separately controllable drive (12). The present invention is used in sheet-fed printing machines assembled in serial arrangement.

Abstract: A method is provided for measuring the tread or profile depth of a tire in the operating state while the tire is rolling and in contact with a surface below it. Vibrations of the tire or tire parts, which vibrations are generated by the spacing and/or geometry of profiled elements of the tire tread, are detected while the tire is rolling and in contact with the surface below it. The detected vibrations are compared in an evaluation unit with a characteristic theoretical value/threshold value that corresponds to a vibration generated by a tread of adequate depth. The evaluation unit issues a signal if the detected vibration deviates from the theoretical value/threshold value.

Abstract: A method for processing digital photographic image data includes a method for the automatic detection of red-eye defects. Before the image data are subjected to an elaborate process for the detection of red-eye defects, exclusion criteria are analyzed in the course of an exclusion process, whereby the criteria provide the information to definitively rule out the occurrence of red-eye defects. The red-eye detection process is not carried out if such exclusion criteria are fulfilled.

Abstract: Conventional liposomes which are used for transporting pharmaceutical active agents in eukaryotic cells or for lipofection can only be preserved for a limited period, are not acid-stable and require a number of set parameters in order to achieve satisfactory results. Less sensitive liposomes are therefore highly desirable. The inventive tetraetherlipid derivatives are very stable and are well suited to lipofection.

Abstract: A printing press drive system includes at least one drive having a motor with an external rotor equipped with permanent magnets, the one drive being assigned to at least one cylinder of the printing press for driving the cylinder, and with a stator provided with windings and firmly fixed to the side panel of the printing press, at least part of the drive system being implemented via a gear train, and the rotor having a gear rim at a perimeter thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a high-speed mass transfer tray with contact and separation elements (CSE) with each CSE consisting of an open, vertically aligned nozzle, which rests with its lower end on the tray and displays at least one row of annular holes, in which an axial swirler with two inclined vanes in the upper section and a firmly attached dense net of ribs arranged lengthwise along the nozzle axis at the lower section in the area of the annular holes is located. A cyclone separator located at the outlet end of the nozzle with deflection rings between separator and annular holes, characterized by the fact that the free cross-section of the CSEs for the gas flow measures 0.36 to 0.

Abstract: A rotation-angle measurement for printing presses with at least one marking (2) arranged on a rotating element (1) and at least one sensor (3,4) which detects marking (2). The at least one marking (2) extends along the entire circumferential path (5) and is arranged on the element (1), the position of which is to be determined.

Abstract: A process for purifying waste gases from smelting, resmelting or combustion plant furnaces and the use of the filter dusts produced. The invention is used in particular in the production or preparation of nonferrous metals. According to the invention, at least one alkali compound, in particular NaHCO.sub.3, is injected dry, optionally in the presence of activated carbon and/or open hearth coke, into the waste gas leaving the production process. The separated filter dust is fed back to the smelting or combustion process. It has unexpectedly been found that the returned filter dust can lower the dioxin and furan contents of the crude gas. Owing to the composition of the filter dust, it can also be used as protective salt in secondary aluminum production.

Abstract: Drive for a printing press with a plurality of printing units connected to one another by a gear train, each of the printing units being associated with a motor for supplying power to the gear train, includes a control device for receiving information regarding a register deviation between two of the printing units of the printing press operating at an existing power ratio and, in accordance with the information, changing the existing power ratio of the two drive motors so as to correct the register deviation between the two drive motors.

Abstract: A drive system for a printing machine with a plurality of printing units connected to one another via a gear train into which power is fed at different points by at least two motors, includes supplying each of the motors via a respective controllable, line-commutated converter. A signal is generated by each of the converters that is limited in time between two firing pulses. A current setpoint value is transferred only within a time span in which all of the converters have activated the signal. Coverage of all of the signals which are limited in time is assured in all operating states.

Abstract: An interior trim component 1 for a motor vehicle comprises a base 2 of a fibrous base material of approximately 80% wood fibers and approximately 20% synthetic resin fibers, which is compressed and consolidated by the action of pressure and heat into the desired shape. Padding and/or a fabric insert 5 may be placed over selected areas of the surface of the base 2 and a sheet 7 of plastic material is bonded over the whole of the visible side of the base 2, the parts of the plastic sheet 7 overlying the insert 5 having a continuous impressed separation so that they may be removed. The fibrous base material which is in the form of fibrous fleece mats of approximately 20 to 30 mm thickness is consolidatd in a hot-pressing shaping tool at 4000 N/M.sup.2 and approximately 200.degree.
