Abstract: This invention relates to a new medical use for certain chemical compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The invention relates to compounds which are mGlu2/3 negative allosteric modulators for use in the treatment of intellectual disabilities. In another aspect, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of intellectual disabilities comprising a compound according to the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for bundling two data channels via a point-to-point connection, is described herein. Sequences of data from a first data channel are transmitted via a first line and sequences of data from a second data channel are transmitted via a second line to a multiplexing apparatus. A data gap having a predefined size is arranged between two sequences of first data in each case. The data from the second data channel are transmitted to a buffer and, if the buffer has been filled with second data having a predefined size, are inserted into the data from the first data channel. A third data channel is formed at the output of the multiplexing apparatus using these first data and second data and is transmitted to a third line. The third data channel therefore has a bundling of sequences of first data and sequences of second data.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a high-pressure discharge lamp. The high-pressure discharge lamp may include a discharge vessel; and an electrode, which is secured in one end of the discharge vessel, the electrode having a stem designed as an elongated pin-shaped body, the electrode being part of an electrode system that also comprises a lead-through, with the aid of which the end of the discharge vessel is sealed in a gas-tight manner; wherein at least the stem includes an electrically conductive ceramic boride of a metal that comprises at least lanthanum, cerium, yttrium or ytterbium, alone or in combination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a component having a rectifying function, fulfilled by means of charge transfer by ions. To this end, the component is composed of multiple layers which have, successively, an asymmetric energy level course, and an electric field applied to these multiple layers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intervertebrae implant comprising two side walls (1, 2) arranged at a distance to each other, a front wall (3) connecting the same at their one end, a back wall (4) connecting the same at their opposite other end, and one opening each on the base and cover part extending at right angles to the afore-mentioned walls. The invention also comprises at least one element (60, 61) provided for in the space (5) enclosed by the above walls, which element has a surface pointing towards the base or cover part and can be moved back and forth between a first final position in which said surface projects at least partly outwards beyond the base or cover part and a second final position in which the surface does not project beyond the base or cover part.
