Abstract: A gear set arrangement (10) for a bicycle gearbox (400) includes a planetary assembly, a stationary component (24), a first and a second brake (B1, B2), and a first and a second freewheel clutch (F1, F2). One planetary gear set (12) of the planetary assembly includes a first rotary element, a second rotary element, and a third rotary element. The first rotary element is rotationally fixable on the stationary component (24) by the first brake (B1). The first rotary element is connectable to the output (36) by the first freewheel clutch (F1). The second rotary element is rotationally fixable on the stationary component (24) by the second brake (B2). The second rotary element is connectable to the output (36) by the second freewheel clutch (F2). The third rotary element is connected to the input (34) for conjoint rotation. The gear set arrangement (10) is configured to provide three ratios.

Abstract: The invention relates to substrates impregnated with the skin-treating components which when introduced into a tumbling-type dryer in which it contacts fabric articles, the skin-treating component is transferred to the fabric articles which, when contacted with the skin of a user applies the skin-treating component to human skin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hard surface cleaning composition employing dibasic esters as a primary solvent in combination with a primary emulsifier, a short-chain cosurfactant, a secondary emulsifier and water. Optional components include a polar solvent and a thickener. The disclosed composition is preferably in the form of an oil continuous microemulsion and is provided as a component of a liquid or spray formulation for use, depending upon the application. The disclosed cleaning agents have a low odor and satisfy the 2005 CARB VOC requirements of less than 8% by weight for oven cleaners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing (a) 0.1 to 30% by weight of at least one anionic, nonionic and/or amphoteric surfactant, (b) 0.05 to 20% by weight of an ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester of ethoxylated alcohols corresponding to formula (I): R1O(CH2CH2O)nH??(I) in which R1 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms and n is a number of 1 to 50, (c) 0.005 to 1.5% by weight of at least one alkaline earth metal ion and (d) 0.1 to 3% by weight of a silicone compound, and to the use of ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters of ethoxylated alcohols as conditioning components and to reduce or prevent the absorption of alkyl ether sulfates onto the skin.

Abstract: Fibre-reactive monoazo compounds of the formula ##STR1## which compounds are in free acid or salt form, and mixtures thereof, are useful for dyeing or printing hydroxy group- or nitrogen-containing organic substrates, for example leather and fibre material comprising natural or synthetic polyamides or natural or regenerated cellulose; the most preferred substrate is a textile material comprising cotton.
