  • Patent number: 7173138
    Abstract: Pnicogen chelate compounds which have two pnicogen-containing groups joined to one another via a xanthene-like or triptycene-like molecular skeleton and in which at least one pyrrole group is covalently bound via its nitrogen atom to each pnicogen atom form complexes with metals of transition group VIII which are useful as catalysts for the hydroformylation of olefins.

  • Publication number: 20040202656
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of binding partners for 5-HT5 receptors for the treatment of neuropathological, in particular neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric, disorders, which can occur, in particular, in cerebral ischemia, stroke, epilepsy and seizures in general, chronic schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, dementia, in particular Alzheimer's dementia, demyelinizing disorders, in particular multiple sclerosis, and brain tumors. The invention also relates to processes for the identification and characterization of such binding partners, in particular in the form of screening processes.

  • Publication number: 20040155441
    Abstract: A side impact protective apparatus is incorporated into a side wall of a motor vehicle, such as a motor vehicle door, and includes a pressure gas source as well as a gas bag inflatable by the latter. The folded together, extended gas bag is arranged along the upper edge of the side wall behind an internal covering in the resting state. The gas bag exits upward upon unfolding in the region of the railing of the side wall through a slot formed between the upper edge of the covering and the side wall and extends upward along the interior of a side window as impact protection for the head region of the motor vehicle occupant. The covering is fastened on the side wall at a distance to both long-sided ends of the gas bag, and a defined weakening is present on the front face of the covering approximately at the height of the pivotal upper edge region. As a result, a great stability of the covering is attained, and a defined exit is assured over a large temperature range when the gas bag unfolds.

  • Patent number: 6750221
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of binding partners for 5-HT5-receptors in the treatment of neuropathological and in particular neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric disturbances which can occur notably in cases of cerebral ishcemia, cerebral stroke, epilepsy and attacks in general, chronic schizophrenia, other psychotic illnesses, dementia, notably Alzheimer's disease, demyelination diseases, notably multiple sclerosis and brain tumors. The invention also relates to methods, especially screening methods, for identifying and characterizing such binding partners.
