Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptide fragments of endolysin Ply511, which recognise and bind listeria irrespective of the serotype but which have no cell wall hydrolysing enzymatic activity. The invention further relates to methods for enrichment, removal, and detection of listeria.

Abstract: A spring strut support bearing, has a top bearing that can be affixed by its inner ring to the front end of an automobile, e.g. to the end of a piston rod of a shock absorber facing a vehicle body. The inner ring is surrounded by an outer ring with radial clearance; at least one elastic spring element made of rubber-elastic material is arranged in a gap formed by the clearance. The outer ring is disposed in a stationary manner with respect to the vehicle body; and only the component of the loading force of the shock absorber extending through the elastic spring element of the top bearing reaches the vehicle body. The inner ring has on each of its two end faces at least one elastically flexible stop buffer for limiting extreme deflection movements in moving direction of the shock absorber, the stop buffers each having the capability of being brought into contact with counter stop faces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying endotoxins for eliminating said endotoxins from a sample, with the aid of bacteriophage tail proteins.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the selective purification of bacterial cells and/or cell components, whereby the purification is performed by means of a solid support.

Abstract: An elastic bearing suspension for a shaft bearing (1) is described. The shaft bearing (1) is connected on the outside radially to at least one stop buffer (2) made of an elastomer material, the stop buffer (2) being connected to a first supporting ring (5) arranged adjacent to and at an axial distance (4) from the shaft bearing (1) by way of at least one fold (3) made of an elastomer material which extends in the axial direction and has a V-shape as seen in the longitudinal sectional of the shaft bearing (1), the first supporting ring (5) being connected to one of the end faces (6) of a stop sleeve (7), the other end face (8) of the stop sleeve (7) surrounding the stop buffer (2) on the outer circumference at a radial distance.

Abstract: A shaft bearing, which includes a roller bearing (1) having an outer ring (2) enclosed at its outer circumference by a supporting ring (3) at a radial distance, at least one first spring element (5), which is elastically yielding in the axial direction and the radial direction, being positioned in the gap (4) formed by the radial distance.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement for a shaft bearing, including a supporting ring is securable in a housing and encloses a rolling-contact bearing on the outside radially to form an annular clearance with the outer ring of the rolling-contact bearing, a bellows element which bridges the annular clearance and is attached to the supporting ring and to the outer ring and has a section with at least one fold projecting axially, a stop buffer arranged in the annular clearance outside the axial extent of the at least one fold, the stop buffer (9) being formed by a C-shaped ring (12) which is open toward the fold (2) and is secured with the supporting ring (1) or with the outer ring (6) and has a leg (13) projecting cantilevered into the annular clearance (4) to form a radial stop.

Abstract: A cardan shaft bearing which includes a roller bearing whose outer ring is connected to a bearing support which can be fixed to the vehicle body by an elastic element, the elastic element (16) including two rubber folds (2, 2′), attached to the outer ring (5) of the roller bearing (13), which form a circular cavity (14) in which a stop buffer (1) is positioned so that the roller bearing (13) can be elastically supported on carrier ring (3).

Abstract: A single-thrust bearing is disclosed. The bearing includes a rolling-contact bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring, as well as a thrust ring concentrically surrounding the outer ring of the rolling-contact bearing with radial clearance. The outer ring and the thrust ring are braced against one another by an intermediate ring of rubber-elastic material that is formed by at least two web members, which are distributed in the circumferential direction and are separated by a circumferential clearance. The design of the web members is such that they are inclined with an involute shape in the same direction of rotation.

Abstract: A chain wheel having a basic element with a cylindrical outside surface and a chain pinion which projects beyond the outside surface in the radial direction. At least one shrink ring made of a polymer material is thermally shrunk onto the cylindrical outside surface of the basic element. The polymer material may consist of a block polymer which contains a polyolefin and an elastomer material.

Abstract: A bearing system for a gear shift lever, which is held in a shift ball and surrounded by an assembly flange. An intermediate layer shaped in the form of a ring, which acts as insulation for vibrations, is arranged between the shift ball and the gear shift lever.
