Abstract: The present invention is directed to an implant for total hip joint replacement and a method for manufacturing such implant. In particular, the present invention relates to improved acetabular liners, total hip prosthetic assemblies comprising such liners and methods for manufacturing such liners.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a pharmaceutical preparation for subcutaneous, parenteral administration, which contains bisphosphonic acids or their salts as the active substance, as well as the production of this preparation. By means of the preparation in accordance with the invention it is possible to administer locally relatively high concentrations of bisphosphonates without the occurrence of incompatibilities.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a cost-effective alternative for the extending of the degree of local freedom in the use of in-house terminal devices. In the method according to the invention, for the purpose of transmitting telecommunications signals, telecommunications signals received from the telecommunications network (1) of the network operator are forwarded via the local, in-house power supply network (5) of the end customer. The local, in-house power supply network (5) of the end customer includes a facility (7) for generating a connection between the telecommunications network (1) of the network operator and the in-house power supply network (5) of the end customer for the purpose of rendering possible the transmission of telecommunications signals via the in-house power supply network (5) of the end customer.

Abstract: For a communications system in which XDSL is combined with ISDN/POTS, the invention provides a device (3, 6) for filtering ISDN and POTS signals from composite signals containing an ISDN signal component and an ISDN DC component or a POTS signal component and a POTS DC component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary hose, particularly a connecting hose for connecting a sanitary fitting to a water feed line. The hose has a flexible, at least single-layer hose body (10) and an encasing tube (14) surrounding it substantially over its entire length. The encasing tube (14) surrounds the hose body (10) in clearance-free manner and is displaceable relative thereto. The application of the encasing tube takes place by the reversible elastic expansion thereof in an apparatus set up for this purpose.
