Abstract: According to a method and device, enriched drinking water is provided in which reduced ionized basic water is produced by means of an electrolysis unit. A probiotic fluid, liquid minerals, or liquid trace elements as well as gaseous and/or stabilized oxygen may be added to the reduced ionized basic water so that drinking water with special electrochemical properties is produced. In a simple manner, the method and the devices permit the production of biologically effective varieties of drinking water that make it possible to provide a person with large amounts of antioxidants and to adjust the pH balance, to maintain the oxidation-reduction balance, and to be able to cause a reduction of intestinal putrefaction through milieu changes in order to maintain or restore the balance of a person's basic prevention.

Abstract: A protective arrangement on a motor vehicle shell wheel housing has a crumple zone, in particular a front crumple zone. Two longitudinal members extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and along the inside of the associated lateral wheel housing. A wheel is held by wheel guide members within the assigned wheel housing. A front wall limits the wheel housing on its side remote from the crumple zone, relative to the passenger compartment. Protection against excessive penetration of the front wall by the wheel moving towards the front wall in the event of a crash is arranged between the tread circumference of the wheel and the front wall. A tension strut with a fixing section is fixed to the associated longitudinal member as the protection of the front wall against excessive penetration and has a lateral intercepting section which projects outwards laterally and transversely to the longitudinal member.

Abstract: A conveyor system has a track network including a main track, a plurality of branch tracks, and respective intersections at which the main track joins the branch tracks. Respective stations at the branch tracks are each associated with a respective target code. A plurality of trucks displaceable along the track network are shuntable by switches at the intersections from the main track into the branch tracks. Each truck is provided with an array of elements settable to correspond to any of the target codes and respective target-code readers associated with the switches read the target codes of the trucks. Controllers connected between the readers and the respective switches direct the trucks to the stations corresponding to the target codes of the trucks.

Abstract: A water-dilutable binder for coatings based on reaction products of diene polymers and poly-unsaturated polyfunctional amidoamines, which comprises (a) a cyclorubber, (b) a polyfunctional amidoamine which has been added to component (a) and is derived from reaction with a monomeric unsaturated fatty acid free from conjugated double bonds but having 12 to 18 carbon atoms or from its oligomers, and (c) a polyisocyanate which is bonded to component (b) and whose isocyanate groups which are not bonded to component (b) are blocked, a process for its preparation and its use for paints and coatings.

Abstract: Binders based on co-condensates of epoxy resins and resols with amines, the epoxy resin being partially defunctionalized and still containing on average 0.5-1.3 epoxide groups per molecular unit, the resol component being composed of methylol compounds of oligomethylene compounds, which are additionally substituted by hydrocarbon or hydroxyalkyl or hydroxyaralkyl radicals, and the amine containing at least one primary or secondary amino group and at most 2 hydroxyl groups.The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of a binder and for the electrophoretic deposition of a cationic resin from an aqueous dispersion onto an article connected as the cathode and to an aqueous electrophoresis bath for carrying out this process.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive having a good thermal stability under load, based on a copolymer of a predominant proportion of acrylates or methacrylates, a minor proportion of acrylic or methacrylic acid amides and further based on acrylic or methacrylic acid compounds, characterized in that the copolymer comprises(a) 85 to 95% by weight of alkyl acrylates and/or methacrylates with 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical,(b) 3 to 10% by weight of acrylamide and/or methacrylamide,(c) 0.2 to 5% by weight of one or more olefinically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids with up to 5 carbon atoms,the sum of components (a) to (c) amounting to 100%, at a and a process for preparing a multi-layer article, containing said adhesives.

Abstract: A reaction product of a diolefine polymer with a phenol and an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride wherein the diolefine polymer is(a) a homopolymer of a diene having 4 to 10 carbon atoms,(b) a copolymer of at least two dienes of (a),(c) a copolymer of at least one diene of (a) with a minor molar amount of at least one copolymerizable monomer,(d) a combination of at least two of (a) to (c)Wherein the amount of phenol is in the range from 2 to 40% by weight and the amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride is in the range from 2 to 55% by weight, always referred to the starting polymer, a process for the preparation of said product wherein(a) a homopolymer of a diene having 4 to 10 carbon atoms,(b) a copolymer of at least two dienes of (a),(c) a copolymer of at least one diene of (a) with a minor molar amount of at least one copolymerizable monomer,(d) a combination of at least two of (a) to (c),(e) polymerizable unsaturated monomers being the base for one of polymers (a)

Abstract: An air-drying alkyd resin comprising (I) at least one .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid unit or a mixture thereof with (I') a polycarboxylic acid unit being free from polymerizable olefinic and acetylenic bonds, said units bound as an ester, (II) at least one trihydric alcohol unit or a combination thereof with a minor amount of a dihydric alcohol unit, (III) from 10 to 35% by weight (referred to the total alkyd resin) of cyclopentadiene units and (IV) at least one predominantly aliphatic monocarboxylic acid unit, wherein the amount by weight of monocarboxylic acid units is at least as large as the total amount of polycarboxylic acid units, the latter being calculated as anhydride and a process of preparation said resin.
