Abstract: The multilayer pressure sensitive adhesive assembly includes a polymeric foam layer and a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The polymeric foam includes a plurality of activated carbon particles. The first pressure sensitive adhesive layer includes a multi-arm block copolymer in an amount greater than 20 percent by weight, based on the weight of the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and at least one hydrocarbon tackifier. The multi-arm block copolymer has formula Qn-Y, in which Q represents an arm of the multi-arm block copolymer, each arm independently having the formula G-R, n represents the number of arms and is at least 3, and Y is the residue of a multifunctional coupling agent. Each R is independently a rubbery block including a polymerized conjugated diene, a hydrogenated derivative of a polymerized conjugated diene, or combinations thereof, and each G is a glassy block including a polymerized monovinyl aromatic monomer.

Abstract: The present application relates to a novel and improved process for preparing the compound 2-{4-[2-({[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]methyl}sulphanyl)-3,5-dicyano-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridin-4-yl]phenoxy}ethyl-L-alanyl L-alaninate monohydrochloride of the formula (I) to novel precursors for its preparation, and to the preparation and use of crystal modification I of 2-{4-[2-({[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]methyl}sulphanyl)-3,5-dicyano-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridin-4-yl]phenoxy}-ethyl-L-alanyl L-alaninate monohydrochloride of the formula (I).

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a surface of an aircraft model includes, but is not limited to a first linear adjustment unit with a first retaining body that is movable along a first axis, a second linear adjustment unit with a second retaining body that is movable along a second axis, and an angle adjustment unit. The second linear adjustment unit is arranged on the first retaining body, and the angle adjustment unit is arranged on the second retaining body and is configured to adjust and lock an angle between an attachment surface and a retaining surface. Consequently, precise positioning of surfaces of a wind-tunnel aircraft model does not require specially manufactured and individually adapted fittings for each setting position to be moved to.

Abstract: The invention relates to a monochromator mirror for the EUV-spectral range, provided with a layer arrangement placed on a substrate, comprising a periodic sequence of two individual layers (A, B) made of different material forming a period having a thickness d in the form of a spacer-layer or an absorber-layer, whereby the reflectivity of the second or a higher Bragg-order is used. Said thickness d has a dimensional deviation of a maximum of 3% and the ratio of the layer thickness of the absorber-layer to the period thickness is smaller than the ratio of 0.8 of the used order of the Bragg-Reflexion.
