Abstract: For a device for using wind power having at least one rotor, wherein the rotor has a rotor shaft having a vertically arranged rotational axis and at least three support frames each having at least one rotor blade are arranged on the rotor shaft and the rotor blades are offset from each other by the same angle in the rotational direction of the rotor, the rotor blades are arranged at a radial distance from the rotor shaft. At least one wind passage is formed between the rotor shaft and each of the rotor blades. Thus a device having high efficiency is created.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of 4H-imidazo?1,5-a!?1,4!benzodiazepine derivatives of formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl or mono- or disubstituted phenyl;R.sup.2 is hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano, trifluoromethyl or lower alkyl;R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; andR.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyland of pharmaceutically usable salts of these compounds by decarboxylating a 4H-imidazo?1,5-a!?1,4!benzodiazepinecarboxylic acid of formula II ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the above significances, at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure in the presence of an organic solvent. The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically usable acid addition salts are known muscle relaxants, sedatives and anticonvulsants.
