Abstract: The present invention relates to gold nanocluster compounds, especially gold nanoparticles, having a reduced toxicity, especially cytotoxicity, which are preferably appropriate for use in medical diagnostics such as medical imaging (e.g. X-ray, CT etc.), said gold nanocluster compounds comprising a core of at least one gold atom and at least one ligand bound to said core, wherein the reduction of toxicity, especially cytotoxicity, of said gold nanocluster compound is controlled and/or adjusted via its ligand structure and/or its ligand chemistry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one gold nanocluster compound in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic (curative) treatment of a disease, especially a tumor and/or cancer disease. The gold nanocluster compound having a defined particle size, especially a defined size of the core of said gold nanocluster compound, the size ranging from 0.5 nm to 10 nm, the outer limits of this range being included. Especially, the gold nanocluster compounds used possess size-dependent cytotoxic properties, stimulating or inducing cellular death when treating and/or contacting respective cells, especially tumor and/or cancer cells, with the gold nanocluster compounds either via apoptosis or via necrosis, depending on the respective gold cluster size or core size.

Abstract: A dashboard of a motor vehicle passenger car, includes an upper part which covers installations. The installations and the upper part are provided with meshing fastening structure, which are positioned toward the top corner relative to the interior of the motor vehicle and can be fitted together in this direction. This arrangement accommodates assembly of the upper part after a vehicle windshield is installed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a component, in particular a crossmember for arranging between A-pillars of a motor vehicle, having an essentially tubular base body in which at least one duct is provided. In order to provide an improved lightweight component which can be produced in a more simple manner using fewer working steps and therefore more cost-effectively and in which, in an advantageous manner, a duct can be integrated, it is proposed that the base body is lined on the inside with plastic in order to form duct walls consisting of plastic. The component according to the invention is used as a dashboard support in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a component in a hybrid construction, in particular a cross member for arranging between A-pillars of a motor vehicle, having a shell-shaped base body which is stiffened by plastic reinforcing ribs and in which at least one duct is provided. In order to be able to integrate a duct in an advantageous manner, it is proposed that the duct is formed at least in some areas from a plastic shell which is injected together with the reinforcing ribs, extends in the longitudinal direction of the component and can be closed by means of a cover so as to form the duct. The component according to the invention is used as a dashboard support in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door having an outer door panel and an inner door panel provided with a large-surface cut-out section wherein the cut-out section is covered wholly or in part by a support plate and wherein the support plate supports mechanical and/or electrical components, such as a window lifter, lock, side airbag, electronics and electric cables, and having a door inside trim which closes the vehicle door from the interior of the vehicle. The support plate and at least one part of the door inside trim are formed as one structural unit which is made in one tool wherein the support plate and the part of the door inside trim are connected together so that they can be folded together.

Abstract: A cross member in a hybrid motor vehicle construction is arranged between A-columns of a motor vehicle. The cross member has a basic body which is widened in a center area at least on one side and is designed as part of a housing of a heating and/or air conditioning system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a subassembly for a cockpit of a motor vehicle, having a heating or air-conditioning housing which is arranged in the center console and has at least two housing parts and at least one air guide duct for guiding air at a controlled temperature to air outlet openings arranged in the cockpit. The subassembly includes a T-shaped structural unit, on which a large number of functional components of the cockpit can be mounted formed from an air guide duct having a shell-like duct component and the housing. The shell-like duct component can be covered to form the air guide duct. The present invention further relates to a method of producing the subassembly.

Abstract: A vehicle door in modular structure including a door shell which is completed by an assembly-bearing support plate and a single or multi-part inner door lining. The vehicle door includes a twin-shell door shell with an outer door panel and inner door panel which are connected together along their edges wherein the inner door panel has a cut-out section which is covered substantially by a support plate with functional units mounted thereon, such as window lift mechanism, lock, and cable tree. A lining body covers the door on the inside, and at least one part of the lining body is in preassembled connection with the support plate. A cover frame covers the connecting points between the lining body and support plate or inner door panel and support plate.

Abstract: The invention concerns a motor vehicle door with a door body, an inner door panel, and a window lifter disposed in the door body, which lifter includes a guide rail, on which a carrier for a window pane is displaceably disposed. According to the invention, at least one functional element which is not part of the regulating mechanism of the window lifter is connected to both the guide rail and the door body.
