Abstract: A method is for reducing an energy demand and/or energy consumption by a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The vehicle includes a steering system having at least two wheel steering angle actuators for changing a respective wheel steering angle of a vehicle wheel on an individual wheel basis, and a vehicle sensor system for driving situation recognition. In at least one operating state, in which a predefined driving situation is identified using the vehicle sensor system, a power consumption by at least one wheel steering angle actuator is reduced in order to reduce the energy demand and/or energy consumption, in particular such that the power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator is below a power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator planned for in the identified predefined driving situation.

Abstract: A rear paneling for a road vehicle has U-shaped extruded profiles (11, 12) mounted on the crossmember of the road vehicle and runners fit next to the reversing camera (20) for raising the reversing camera (20) over a solid body colliding with the rear paneling (10).

Abstract: An air guiding device is provided for regulating air flow through at least one air inlet opening in a front cowling of a vehicle. The at least one air inlet opening is arranged laterally in the front cowling and, in a closed state, is covered completely to the outside by the air guiding device. The air guiding device has a retaining frame and slats arranged movably in the retaining frame. The slats are mounted movably in the retaining frame and the angle of incidence of the slats can be changed by a servo motor that is connected to an adjusting mechanism, in such a manner that an air flow approaching the at least one air inlet opening is at least partially guided around the vehicle. A method also is provided for regulating an air flow in proximity to the front cowling of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method of determining risk of stress in a subject involves determining in a biological sample, the level of one or more forms of calcium binding protein spermatid specific 1 protein, wherein the one or more forms comprise one or more of 12 kDa, 15 kDa, 18 kDa, 20 kDa, 27 kDa, 33 kDa, 55 kDa, or 90 kDa forms; comparing the level of the one or more forms in the sample with the level of the one or more forms in a normal control; determining whether the subject has risk of stress in accordance with the result; wherein a difference in the level of the one or more forms relative to the level of the normal control, is indicative of stress or responsiveness to stressful stimuli; and treating the subject with a stress management program that involves using one or more forms of 12 kDa, 15 kDa, 18 kDa, 20 kDa, 27 kDa, 33 kDa, 55 kDa, or 90 kDa forms as therapeutic targets.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods and compositions for reducing the duration of hyperglycemia and treating diabetes and complications thereof. A human subject with hyperglycemia is administered insulin, a water-based beverage, and a sodium salt formulation sufficient to accelerate said subject's return to a non-hyperglycemic state. This process can be repeated multiple times within a given time period.

Abstract: An air guiding device is provided for regulating an air flow flowing through at least one air inlet opening in a front cowling arranged on a vehicle. The at least one air inlet opening is arranged laterally in the front cowling and, in a closed state, is covered completely to the outside by the air guiding device. The air guiding device has a retaining frame and at least one slat arranged movably in the retaining frame. The at least one slat is mounted movably in the retaining frame and the angle of incidence of the slat can be changed by a servo motor that is connected to an adjusting mechanism, in such a manner that an air flow approaching the at least one air inlet opening is at least partially guided around the vehicle.

Abstract: In carton packaging having an outer folding carton and an inner folding carton which surrounds a film internal container, the inner folding carton is adhesively bonded by means of one of its carton body walls (14) to an adjacent carton body wall (6) of the outer folding carton. The outer folding carton and the inner folding carton surround the film internal container essentially completely. The film internal container consists of a flexible film internal bag provided with a withdrawal closure. The carton body walls (13, 14, 15, 16) of the inner folding carton are connected to one another in a foldable manner at the body edges (17, 18, 19, 20) via carton bridges, each bridging an edge slot. The lid flaps of the inner folding carton are angled in the finished carton packaging. The inner folding carton and the outer folding carton consist of a joint carton blank or each consist of a separate carton blank or each consist of a plurality of carton blanks.

Abstract: A front end module for a motor vehicle substantially contains a downwardly open assembly support which is connected to a crash cross-member via lateral connecting limbs, and the two components form a rectangular, closed frame. A further, lower crash cross-member which likewise forms a rectangularly closed frame is connected to the crash cross-member.

Abstract: Inlet openings at the frontal region of a vehicle have actuable transversely oriented pivoting lamellae disposed behind them. The lamellae guide an air flow to a vehicle radiator in a targeted manner. The pivoting lamellae are connected to an actuating device with control linkages that are articulated to one another via deflection levers for an upper and a lower lamella unit. The upper pivoting lamellae are adjusted at an angle which is different than the lower pivoting lamellae. The upper pivoting lamellae can be set in each case as a unit jointly with the lower pivoting lamellae as a further unit.

Abstract: A transversely aligned support part is arranged between an assembly support of a vehicle body and a front part. The support part is connected to the assembly support via bolt and clip elements, and the front part is fastenable to the support part by bolts in a manner such that it can be vertically aligned via adjusting elements.
