Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological detersive preparations comprising: (a) an effective amount of one or more surface-active substances selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucosides, which have the structural formula  where R is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, (b) an effective amount of one or more gel-forming acrylate-alkyl acrylate copolymers and (c) branched and/or unbranched aliphatic alcohols having 2-6 carbon atoms and one or more OH functions.

Abstract: The use of one or more cosurfactant (surfactant B) in a mixture with one or more surfactants different from surfactant B (surfactant A) for reducing the binding of surfactant A to the surface of the skin.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological shower preparations, characterized by(a) a content of at most 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of trialkyl- and/or trialkanolamine salts of fatty alcohol sulphates and fatty alcohol ether sulphates and(b) a content of from 30 to 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of one or more oil components selected from the group consisting of lipids, which contain from one to three acyl radicals, which have been esterified using an alcohol,(c) a water content of at most 3.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation,(d) optionally containing one or more emulsifiers,(e) optionally containing further surfactants, and(f) optionally containing further cosmetic or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, additives and/or active substances.

Abstract: Use of one or more hydrophobicized, pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable inorganic pigments in cosmetic or dermatological preparations for preventingleaching out or washing off of the skin's cis- or trans-urocaninic acid from the human skin, caused by the action of water, orleaching out or washing off of cis- or trans-urocaninic acid which has been applied artificially to the skin, from the human skin caused by the action of water.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological shower formulations, characterized by(a) containing a content of not more than 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulations, of one or more surfactants selected from the group offatty alcohol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol sulphates, amides of fatty alcohol sulphates, fatty alcohol ether sulphates, amides of fatty alcohol ether sulphates, fatty acid monoethanolamides, fatty acid diethanolamides,(b) a content of not less than 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulations, of one or more oil components selected from the group of oils with a high content of triglycerides of saturated and/or unsaturated, branched and/or unbranched fatty acids,or exclusively such triglycerides,(c) optionally containing further surfactants,(d) optionally containing further cosmetic or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, additives and/or active substances,(e) where the formulations are essentially anhydrous.

Abstract: Gas generator for a safety system for the protection of occupants of motor vehicles, with a tubular or cylindrical housing, wherein the gas-generating solid propellant is contained in a combustion chamber within which volume-equalizing structure is arranged, surrounding the propellant, both in the direction of flow--along the principal axis--and peripherally over the entire circumference.

Abstract: Gas generator system of lightweight design, especially of an impact protection system for occupants of vehicles, containing a central area with an igniter for a combustion chamber enclosing the igniter for solid propellant, which combustion chamber in turn is enclosed by a filter chamber with discharge openings for inflating a downstream receiver, containing, in combination: a housing, consisting of an upper part and a lower part, which are screwed together, and which accommodate and hold between them the igniter, the propellant, and the filter, so that they are sealed tightly and in a pressure-proof manner from the outside, and that one of the two housing parts that can be connected to one another has an approximately mushroom-shaped cross section, as well as special filter designs and brackets for holding same during screwing together, and the selected ducting for the flow of the gas generated.

Abstract: A polypeptide having mutarotase activity is obtained from a host microorganism that has been transformed with a molecule having a recombinant DNA sequence. The molecule having a recombinant DNA sequence is prepared by removing the first 60 nucleotides of a DNA sequence originating from the genome of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus that codes for the polypeptide, modifying the following 21 nucleotides and fusing of the resultant structural gene with the start of the tetracycline-repressor gene and with an effective promotor sequence. The tetracycline-regressor gene and the promotor sequence preferably originate from the same microorganism such as E. coli in which expression of the polypeptide is carried out, and result in increased yield of the expressed polypeptide having mutarotase activity.

Abstract: Cosmetic deodorants, characterized by an effective content of lantibiotics, it being possible for the lantibiotics to be present both singly and in a mixture.

Abstract: Gas generator of lightweight construction, especially of an impact protection system for occupants of a vehicle, wherein a housing shell and a cover are made in one piece, formed of light metal such as aluminum, and have internally located screw-threaded parts which are screwed against each other, so that they are connected to one another tightly in a press fit positive lock manner and in a compression-proof manner, and also accommodate and hold between them the igniter, the propellant, and the filter. This leads to considerably reduced production costs for series production. Despite the weight reduction achieved, the gas generator is resistant to high temperatures, and the propellant gases discharged are sufficiently cool and muffled.
