Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating apparatus for a headrest, the holder of which is movably mounted in a receptacle within a vehicle seat back that can be folded down, with a traction device that acts on the holder and serves to pull the headrest back into a retracted position. Preferably, a headrest is attached to such a seat back by a mechanical actuating apparatus that is of simple construction and enables the headrest to be completely retracted from any pre-adjusted position when the seat back is folded down, and when the seat back is raised upright returns the headrest to the original, pre-adjusted position.

Abstract: A seat for a means of transport, in particular a vehicle seat, comprising a seat part, a backrest, a backrest adjustment system (1) which connects the backrest to the seat part and which permits a forward pivoting of the backrest onto the seat part, a height adjustable headrest which is displaceably guided via at least one guide rod (10) in an associated guide receiver (11) in the backrest, and retaining means (30, 31) which are effective between at least one guide rod (10) and the associated guide receiver (11) and through which the guide rod (10) is releasably fixable at different heights against displacement, wherein, for avoiding a collision of the headrest with the vehicle roof, the guide receiver (11) for the guide rod (10) is formed so as to be retractable together with the guide rod (10) opposite to the extension direction (VI) of the headrest inwards into the backrest into a recessed position and back out again while the guide rod (10) is arrested by the retaining means (30, 31) relative to the guide

Abstract: A heterogeneous catalytic process for producing hydroxylated hydrocarbons containing from 1-2 carbon atoms which comprises: contacting a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen with a catalyst consisting essentially of palladium at reaction conditions such that hydroxylated compounds are selectively produced while substantially avoiding the concomitant formation of methane or higher molecular weight hydrocarbons.
