Abstract: The invention relates to screw elements (10, 10?) for multi-shaft screw-type machines having screw shafts (W, W?) rotating pairwise in the same direction, wherein said screw elements scrape off one another precisely and the screw shafts composed of said screw elements have two or more screw flights. The screw profiles (11, 11?) can be represented over the entire cross section by respective profile curves, each profile curve (11, 11?) having at least one inflection point (K, K?) lying inside an outer radius (RA, RA?) of the profile curve over the progression thereof. The inflection point is considered to be a position of an abrupt change of pitch or a geometrical discontinuity in the pitch of the profile curve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for constructing bodies which, while rotating codirectionally about axes arranged in parallel, constantly touch one another at at least one point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of water and solvent-free hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymers, to the hydrogenated nitrile rubbers and the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low-pressure circuit for a fuel injection system, in particular for a common-rail injection system, comprising a fuel tank (1) and a pre-feed pump (2), by means of which fuel from the fuel tank (1) can be suctioned and fed to a working chamber (4) of a high-pressure pump (5) via a fuel line (3), wherein the working chamber (4) is connected to a return line via shaft bearings. According to the invention at least two throttles (9, 10) are provided for connecting the working chamber (4) with the return (8), which throttles are in each case connected parallel to the shaft bearings (6, 7) and/or can be connected by means of a valve (11). The invention further relates to a fuel injection system comprising such a low-pressure circuit and to a method for operating a fuel injection system.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an extruder (10), particularly for extruding a synthetic rubber product, which comprises a barrel (24), one or several extruder elements (12, 14), particularly one or several extruder screws and/or a kneader elements (14), arranged inside the barrel (24) for conveying the product, optionally an inlet port for feeding a stripping agent into the barrel (24) and an outlet port for removing volatile compounds from the product and, where applicable, the stripping agent. According to the invention a perforated die plate (26) is fixed to the barrel (24) in flow direction before the outlet port. Since the die plate (26) is not fixed to the extruder elements (12, 14) but to the barrel (24) a circumferential clearance between the die plate (26) and the barrel (24) is prevented so that no extruded material is passing the die plate (26) radially outside.

Abstract: The present invention relates to modified and genomic sequences, to oligonucleotides and/or PNA-oligomers for detecting the cytosine methylation state of genomic DNA, as well as to a method for predicting the disease free survival and/or response of a subject with a cell proliferative disorder of the breast tissues, to endocrine treatment.
