Abstract: The present invention provides inhibitors and/or antagonists of plasma kallikrein. Also provided are methods of utilizing the inhibitors as therapeutics.

Abstract: A vent valve arrangement for a sterilization container held under vacuum after completion of the sterilization, which container must be depressurized for opening, comprising a vent valve capsule which comprises a cavity enclosed by a circumferential wall, which cavity is closed on a first end by a manually irreversibly detachable cover and comprises an opening on the second end thereof. The capsule is designed such that prior to the sterilization of the sterilization container, it can be inserted under external seal into an opening of a wall of the sterilization container or a component thereof, in such a way that the end of the cavity closed by the cover lies on the outer side of the sterilization container and closes this opening in a gas-tight manner, while the cavity over the opening is constantly in connection to the interior of the sterilization container.

Abstract: The present invention provides inhibitors and/or antagonists of plasma kallikrein. Also provided are methods of utilizing the inhibitors as therapeutics.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasound welding device for welding electrical conductors to produce a node between the conductors, comprising a compression space for receiving the conductors, which is delimited peripherally by two working surfaces delimiting the compression space on opposing sides and two lateral delimitation surfaces running transversely to the working surfaces, and the remaining sides are open. One of the working surfaces is a portion of a sonotrode, excitable in ultrasound oscillation, for the ultrasound welding device and the other working surface is a portion of a counterelectrode and at least the working surfaces are structured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for welding rod-shaped electrical conductors provided with an outer insulating sheath, the device comprising a compression space for receiving two connecting regions of the conductors to be connected to each other, wherein the compression space is provided with a marking device for axial positioning of the connecting regions, the marking device comprising a radiation-emitting device defining a position mark (56, 57).

Abstract: Back- or seat-element for a piece of seating furniture, in particular a swivel chair, comprising a flexible, tensible surface element (20) and a support frame (30) with a plurality of individual holding areas (42), the surface element (30) is attached to and stretched therebetween.

Abstract: A method for operating a technical system, an apparatus and method for determining a movement profile, control apparatus and the actual technical system that includes at least one drive to move at least one axis, wherein at least one optimized movement profile of the axis is calculated with the aid of an optimization method that calculates an optimized movement profile with reference to preset points of a movement profile and/or preset regions of the movement profile, where for simplified and particularly understandable use, the optimization method includes physical boundary conditions from the start of the optimization method, where the use and initialization of the technical system by the user is made more understandable, for example, and where the optimized movement profile is used to control the at least one drive of the technical system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic welding device having an oscillator, having a sonotrode, which can be caused to oscillate with a wavelength, and has a welding region in the vibration antinode of the sonotrode. The sonotrode is supported at the vibration node of the sonotrode in a first bearing. To enable both a radial and an axial alignment of the sonotrode, the first bearing has a projection, which has a U-shaped geometry in a section extending in a longitudinal direction of the sonotrode, which U-shaped geometry has side legs and a cross leg that connects the side legs, the projection engages in a recess in the sonotrode matched to the U-shaped geometry, the sonotrode is supported on the cross leg of the projection in a planar manner, and the sonotrode is axially aligned by means of at least one side leg of the projection.
