Abstract: A composite material suitable for an inexpensive cathode material for a lithium-sulfur cell. The composite material is obtained by thermally treating a mixture, wherein the mixture comprises: (A) a fluorinated polymer and (B) carbon in a polymorph containing at least 60% sp2-hybridized carbon atoms; or (A) a fluorinated polymer and (C) a sulfur-containing component; or (A) a fluorinated polymer, (B) carbon in a polymorph containing at least 60% sp2-hybridized carbon atoms, and (C) a sulfur-containing component, in which the proportion of the sum of the proportions by weight of starting components (A) and (B), (A) and (C), or (A), (B), and (C) in the respective mixture prior to the thermal treatment, based on the total weight of the mixture, is 90 to 100% by weight, and wherein the thermal treatment of the mixture containing the above starting components is performed at a temperature of at least 115° C.

Abstract: A process for preparing (+)-exo-6-phenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes of the formula I where R is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, fluorine or methoxy, which comprises photocyclizing a bisallylammonium salt of the formula II where R has the meanings given above and X− is an anion, in an inert solvent in a glass apparatus with addition of sensitizer and precipitating using (−)-ditoluoyltartaric acid the desired (+)-exo-isomer I as ditoluoyltartrate from the resulting mixture, with or without recrystallization of this tartrate from an alcohol/water mixture.

Abstract: A high temperature warning device for an x-ray source has a housing that can be attached to the exterior of the housing wall of an x-ray generator housing. The device has an integrated signaling alarm which is activated depending on the detection result of at least one temperature sensor communicating with the x-ray generator housing.

Abstract: X-radiator with an X-ray tube with a vacuum housing to which an anode and a cathode are firmly connected, has a coolant container that surrounds the X-ray tube and is filled with a coolant, and a radiation protection housing that surrounds the coolant container. The X-ray tube and the coolant container are rotatably seated relative to the radiation protection housing, with the drive of the X-ray tube and/or the coolant container operating such that the X-ray tube and the coolant container rotate around a rotational axis during operation of the X-radiator. An electron beam deflection system that is stationary with respect to the radiation protection housing is arranged inside the radiation protection housing.
