Abstract: An oil supply system for an internal combustion engine includes an oil pump, a heat exchanger, an oil feed line and two oil outlet lines, for conveying the oil from the oil pump through the oil feed line to the heat exchanger and from the latter through the two oil outlet lines. In a system of this type, there is provision for the internal combustion engine to be configured as a piston engine and for the heat exchanger to be configured as a water/oil heat exchanger, and for one oil outlet line to be connected to oil spray nozzles of the piston engine and for the other oil outlet line to be connected to a main oil line of the piston engine. An oil supply system of this type is distinguished by its simple design and functionality, and permits optimum cooling and lubrication of the relevant components of the engine.

Abstract: A method and device for the pretreatment of polymer surfaces of components to be painted. At least one polymer surface of at least one component is preheated to a temperature that minimizes condensation on the component when the component is subsequently cleaned inside a pretreatment cell and then treated with an oxidizing flame. The cleaning of the polymer surface as well as the treatment of the polymer surface with an oxidizing flame are performed inside the same pretreatment cell.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for operating a data processing device while using compressed data, wherein a non-compressed boot program is loaded into a volatile working memory, which initiates a copying process of a compressed application program from a data memory into a volatile working memory with simultaneous decompression of the application program.

Abstract: To achieve a uniform coating of a substrate, with an apparatus and a method for coating substrates, according to which the substrate is supported on a substrate holder in such a way that a substrate surface that is to be coated is exposed, and the substrate is rotated together with the substrate holder, a cover can be secured to the substrate holder and together with the substrate holder forms a sealed chamber for the substrate.

Abstract: An x-ray diagnostics installation for subtraction angiography has an x-ray radiator which generates an x-ray beam that penetrates a patient, the resulting image being processed in an x-ray image intensifier video chain wherein the x-ray image is converted into a sequence of video signals for display. The video chain includes an image memory for storing the video signals and a difference-forming unit for subtracting the stored video signals from current video signals to form difference video signals. An image reproduction stage has various adjustment elements permitting variation of parameters identifying a region or a window of brightness values for reproducing the video signals on the display. By means of the adjustment elements, various image parameters, such as background brightness and darkening of the blood vessels, can be set independently of each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a vessel wall includes a rail and a carriage running on the rail. An inclining and swiveling telescoping arm has an end being pivotably connected to the carriage and a free end. The telescoping arm has curved members with U-shaped cross sections. A drive mechanism for extending and retracting the telescoping arm includes a pusher tube having tensile strength and resistance to compression for driving the members in common and a motor for driving the pusher tube. A test unit is carried by the free end of the telescoping arm and a data line is connected between the test unit and an evaluation unit.

Abstract: A diagnostic device for the detection of an increased concentration of dehydrogenases and/or oxidases in the fluids of humans, animals or plants, which consists of a carrier which bonds a redox dyestuff, and a substance mixture, adjusted to a pH value in the acid range, of the substrate corresponding to the particular dehydrogenase, a hydrogen donor compound and at least one redox dyestuff is described. The device has the peculiarity that the carrier contains polar groups and the substance mixture for detecting exclusively pathologically increased concentrations of the particular dehydrogenase and/or oxidase is adjusted to a pH value of below 5.0. The device is suitable for diagnosing malignant growths in very different organs, for example in the female genital area.

Abstract: A television installation comprising a circuit arrangement for amplification alteration or variation of the video signal in dependence upon its current mean value as compared to a reference mean value. A television camera and monitor are provided, and the current video signal is intermediately stored in an image memory. A mean value is formed in a mean value circuit. This value is compared in relation to a reference value of a reference circuit. A factor is supplied in the form of an output signal of a division stage to a multiplication stage in which the factor is multiplied with the video signal contained in the image memory. The video signal is thereby standardized to a reference value.

Abstract: Heat-treating device for prolonging the life of a pressure vessel formed of thermally resistant material subject to time-dependent structural changes due to neutron fluence includes a heating device positionable within a pressure vessel adjacent to a wall portion thereof which is to be heat-treated; a mounting support for the heating device including a substantially cylindrical, heat-insulating holding member insertable into and removable from the pressure vessel through an opening in the pressure vessel; supply lines for an energy carrier supplying the heat; insulating means for keeping the heat away from heat-sensitive parts of the pressure vessel which are not to be heat-treated and for reducing heat losses during the heat treatment; a hollow substantially cylindrical thermal shield disposed in the pressure vessel and, with the inner peripheral surface of the pressure vessel, defining an annular gap; and a reactor chamber wherein at least part of the pressure vessel is located, the reactor chamber being ot
