The closing hook can be made to engage with a cavity in the closing element.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine with a motor block and a charge fluid cooler mounted thereon wherein the motor block comprises a cylinder block with a cylinder head mounted thereon, the charge fluid cooler is attached to the cylinder head via an outlet manifold flange and a cylinder head flange which are joined by at least one first screw connection via a spacer member arranged at a side of a charge fluid inlet passage extending through the flanges and at least one second screw connection is provided for attaching the charge fluid cooler to the cylinder block via a second screw connection providing for a partially rigid and a partially elastic support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for injecting liquids, more particularly liquid medicaments or hormone preparations, for example insulin, said device comprising a housing part in or on which a cartridge containing the liquid can be arranged, wherein the housing part or the cartridge has a needle seat designed for releasable attachment of a needle holder carrying a needle, and wherein the cartridge, upon release of the needle holder from the needle seat, is held fixed in position in or on the housing part. In order to release the needle holder, a release element is provided that engages on the needle holder and that can be activated by an actuating element.

Abstract: A device for holding a cannula and for the releasable arrangement on an injection pen, with a basic body, wherein the cannula is arranged in the basic body in a manner such that it is substantially non-displaceable along the central axis thereof. Latching provisions are arranged on the circumferential surface of the basic body. The latching provisions are designed in order to be engaged behind by mating latching provisions of a release mechanism of a storage or disposal container for the device.

Abstract: A closing mechanism for a movable closing element, preferably for a door, a cover or a flap on a household appliance, such as a dishwasher, a washing machine, or a refrigerator, the mechanism comprises a carriage that can be displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position and is loaded by a spring force in the direction of the locking position. The carriage carries a closing hook that can be engaged with the closing element for the closing action and/or disengaged therefrom for the opening action. A rotary latch co-operates with the closing element during the closing action. As a result of this co-operation, the rotary latch acts on the carriage in such a way that the carriage is displaced into the locking position during the closing of the closing element by the force of the spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide from coryneform bacteria containing at least one polynucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of a) polynucleotide which is at least 70% identical to a polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID no. 2, b) polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide which contains an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID no. 2, c) polynucleotide which is complementary to the polynucleotides of a) or b), and d) polynucleotide containing at least 15 successive nucleotides of the polynucleotide sequences of a), b) or c), and to a process for the fermentative production of L-amino acids, in particular L-lysine.
