Abstract: A wheel of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, has a rim, a hub portion, and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least one free space between the spokes is covered at least in part by a substantially planar covering element. The covering element is produced from two different material layers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support retainer for filter element with a base body, which extends along a longitudinal axis from an upper end to a lower end and a retainer wall is formed between the upper and the lower end, and wherein the retainer wall is formed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in a ring-shaped at least in a cross section, and the retainer wall has a plurality of openings and the retainer wall is at least partially manufactured from a plastic, wherein the openings are rhombus-shaped.

Abstract: Crystalline, anhydrous hydrochloride salts of 4,5?-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one (oxymorphone) are disclosed and three polymorphic forms of these salts are reported. The invention further relates to a method for the production of such salts, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of such a salt as a medicament and for the treatment and/or prevention of pain.

Abstract: A filter, in particular for compressed gas systems, includes a filter top part having at least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel and a filter bottom part having a filter element, wherein the filter top part has a pressure-resistant housing and an insert which is suited in an optimal manner to the course of the inlet and outlet channels.

Abstract: A sample carrier such as a multi-well platform with one or more recesses, in each of which a substance to be analyzed is disposed, and an analysis method in which one or more substances, each of which is located in a recess of the sample carrier, are aligned on a uniform plane relative to the surface of the sample carrier before being analyzed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for removing skin from the bodies of animals, preferably of fowls, and a device for implementing said method. Known devices comprise skin-removing rollers, designed to enable height adjustment via a control cam. Said devices, however, have the disadvantage of not enabling the rollers to be accurately positioned on the bodies of animals of different shapes, in particular on bodies with curves. The invention aims at supplying a device and a method ensuring optimal positioning enabling the skin to be removed without damage. This is achieved by the fact that the inventive device comprises skin-removing rollers with two degrees of freedom, thereby enabling said rollers to be optimally positioned, independently of the size of the animal body.

Abstract: An apparatus for detaching wings from a poultry body is described in which the detachment is effected by means of three pairs of separating tools with varying arrangements and forms of knife blades. The poultry bodies are prepared as front halves and pass through the processing areas of the separating tools fixed on supporting saddles which are moved forward by conveying means and convey the poultry body with the neck portion leading and the breast portion uppermost. This "three-cut" separation procedure allows an extremely economical detachment of the wing and greatly increases the yield of breast fillet meat while avoiding bone splinters in the region of attachment of the wings.

Abstract: A method for mechanically detaching the meat from the bodies of slaughtered poultry in the form of fillets is performed with a starting product in the shape of a so called "front-half", i.e. a body portion obtained by a cross-section made obliquely through the poultry body. From this body portion the pelvis has been severed together with the legs, and by a further step the wings have been severed. The treatment in individual processing steps, the performance of which is limited to very narrowly restricted working areas by means of tools which can thus be adapted without compromise to the anatomically conditioned circumstances. Moreover, the sequence of the processing steps is selected such that the increasing destabilization of the poultry body is controlled with each processing step so that the respective subsequent working steps are influenced in a minimum manner possible. The result is a high yield in fillet meat of excellent quality.

Abstract: An apparatus for skinning fish includes a pressure pad carrying an oscillating knife blade and defining a presser surface which faces the circumferential surface of a skinning roller, the pressure pad being mounted to yield against spring force. The oscillating knife blade is guided in a pocket formed in the pressure pad. This arrangement makes it possible to skin fish fillets without any splitting of the tail portion.
