  • Publication number: 20160238571
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for field-flow fractionation and to a method for separating samples by means of field-flow fractionation using this apparatus. The apparatuses of the invention comprise a separation channel which, in addition to a first outlet for sample-containing solvent, comprises a second outlet for sample-free solvent, wherein the second outlet is arranged in a region of the separation channel from which sample-free solvent may be removed during elution and a flow volume control device is arranged downstream of the second outlet. They are characterized in that the flow volume control device is a mass flow controller.

  • Patent number: 7794020
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat wherein the vehicle seat includes a back rest frame and a seat frame, which can be fastened to each other via a fitting. During assembly, mutually corresponding fastening points on the fitting and on at least one of the frame parts are brought to overlap in order to connect the two frame parts to each other with the aid of fastening elements. For the assembly, assembly aids are provided on the frame part and fitting. The assembly aids engage one inside the other in a form-fitting manner and are configured so that the two frame parts are held in an assembly aid position in which the mutually corresponding fastening points are aligned with respect to each other.

  • Publication number: 20070102972
    Abstract: The invention relates to a monitor (1) that is fastened on a vehicle seat (3) of a motor vehicle. The monitor (1) is optically associated with the head restraint (4) and fastened on a frame part (3.2) of the backrest (3.1). The monitor (1) can be swiveled independently of the position of the head restraint (4). The arrangement of the head restraint (4) parallel to the monitor (1) inhibits the vibration of the monitor (1) during operation of the motor vehicle and prevents the rear passengers from being dazzled when watching the monitor at night.
