Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating arrangement for a parking brake, having two components, of which one component is an actuating piston for actuating at least one brake shoe or is an intermediate element which is or can be placed in operative connection with the actuating piston, and the other component is a gear mechanism element for a stroke-imparting gear mechanism, and having a relative-rotation-preventing securing means for securing the components against rotation relative to one another. Provision is made whereby the relative-rotation-preventing securing means has at least one receptacle and a projection which engages into the receptacle, which receptacle and projection are assigned to in each case one of the components. Furthermore, at least one damping element is provided which is arranged between the projection and the receptacle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof comprising an GLP-1/Glucagon/GIP triple receptor agonist, a linker and a hyaluronic acid hydrogel bearing -L1-L2-L-Y-R2 groups, wherein Y represents an GLP-1/Glucagon/GIP triple receptor agonist moiety; and -L is a linker moiety—by formula (Ia), wherein the dashed line indicates the attachment to one of the amino groups of the GLP-1/Glucagon/GIP triple receptor agonist moiety by forming an amide bond. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said conjugates as well as their use as a medicament for treating or preventing diseases or disorders which can be treated by GLP-1/Glucagon/GIP triple receptor agonist.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of managing a chain of custody for cannabis, comprising, including receiving at a data repository first encoded data from a first taggant of a cannabis batch from a first custodian, wherein the first taggant can include identification tags having a binder deposited onto a surface of the cannabis batch, and receiving at the data repository second encoded data from a second taggant of the cannabis batch from a second custodian, wherein the second taggant can include identification tags deposited on or disposed within the cannabis batch. The method can further include confirming the identification of the cannabis batch from the received first taggant encoded data and the second encoded data, wherein the confirmation can include determining that the second taggant from the second custodian at least partially correlates with the first taggant data from the first custodian.

Abstract: A method and system of managing a chain of custody for cannabis is provided that includes depositing one or more identification tags onto the surface of one or more cannabis seeds at a first custodian location, and depositing the identification tags onto the surface of one or more cannabis, wherein the cannabis plants are grown and matured from the cannabis seeds. The method and system further includes receiving the tagged cannabis plants at a second custodian location and extracting cannabinoids from the tagged cannabis plants, wherein the extracted cannabinoids include the one or more identification tags. In addition, the method and system further includes receiving the extracted cannabinoids at a third custodian location, wherein the extracted cannabinoids include the one or more identification tags which may be accumulated from all the prior custodians.

Abstract: The present invention is a conventional mobile wireless communications device including a location based ad hoc network system, using a location beacon and wireless device management software. When a wireless device comes in range of the beacon signal, the wireless device will see the presence of the beacon, and when the beacon is selected, the wireless device is now enabled to potentially communicate with all other such enabled wireless devices. Then, the wireless device management application (App) of this invention, which each such enabled wireless devices will have installed, acts to manage access to and between the wireless communications devices. The communication with other such enabled wireless devices may be under anonymous conditions or with various amounts of disclosure, including personal information.

Abstract: A disc brake for a motor vehicle, wherein the disc brake comprises a housing, a brake disc which can be rotated relative to the housing, at least one friction lining, and at least one actuating device which is configured for bringing about a relative movement between the brake disc and the friction lining, with the result that the friction lining can be brought into contact with the brake disc, wherein the actuating device has at least one actuating piston which is guided displaceably in the housing in a hydraulically sealing manner, wherein the actuating piston can be displaced in the housing hydraulically and via a mechanical actuator. In the disc brake, it is provided that the actuating piston is coupled to the mechanical actuator via an elastically deformable driving arrangement, wherein, as a consequence of a relative displacement between the actuating piston and the actuator, the driving arrangement provides a restoring movement in accordance with its elastic deformation.

Abstract: State of the art processor systems, esp. in embedded systems, are not able to process data under real-time conditions especially with throughput rates near 10 Gbps. So, when using interfaces like PCI Express (PCIe) or Infiniband or 10 G-Ethernet for 10 Gbps data throughput, special data-paths have to process the high throughput rate data. But tasks like connection management or time uncritical control messaging are better manageable by a processor. According to the invention it is proposed a kind of multiplexer architecture that is needed to split between control and data-path access for a PCI Express based architecture.
