Abstract: An apparatus for shaping a narrow container stream, into a wide container stream includes container guides and a shaping region that extends between an inlet and an outlet. Transport bands connecting laterally to each other and define a transport plane along which the containers are transported. The container guides are constrained to be between defined limit curves defined by second and third order polynomials. As a result, the container guides are cambered in a way that promotes interruption-free widening of the container stream.

Abstract: A transport device includes a first transport-element that comprises rotatable transport-element sections and that defines a transport path for transporting materials between front and rear deflection-devices. The path has successive sections along a transport direction and extends between drive-arrangements spaced apart along the transport path. The drive-arrangements interactively connect to the transport-element at different locations along the transport path. Rotatable transport-element sections are repositioned relative to one another in such a way to change an overall length of the first transport-element. Targeted controlling of adjacent transport path sections at a differential speed by way of the first and second drive-arrangements creates an accumulation or a gap of transport material on a transport-path section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of GPI-related surface antigens of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and the resulting products obtained. These synthetic compounds are suitable for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis, as well as vaccine against toxoplasmosis, a diseases caused by infection with T. gondii.

Abstract: An apparatus that shapes a narrow container stream into a wider container stream includes a shaping region in which a deceleration segment follows the container inlet and a shaping segment, which forms the container outlet, follows the deceleration segment. Within the shaping region, laterally adjacent transport bands define a transport plane for moving containers. Container guides extend from the container inlet to the container outlet and delimit corresponding first and second sides of the shaping region between two limit curves. The container guides have inner sides that guide the containers. These sides are curved about axes perpendicular to the horizontal transport plane.

Abstract: A seat belt retractor for a safety belt including a seat belt spindle for winding up and unwinding the safety belt and a tensioning drive. The seat belt spindle includes a gas generator, a drive wheel and a supply pipe which connects the gas generator and the drive wheel. A plurality of thrust members are present in the supply pipe which, after triggering the gas generator, are accelerated and indirectly or directly drive the drive wheel for winding up the safety belt. An inertia coupling is arranged between the drive wheel and the seat belt spindle. The inertia coupling comprises coupling elements which, during an acceleration of the drive wheel, pivot outward and are directly or indirectly coupled to the seat belt spindle.
