Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag module (18) with a tear strip (13) for specific opening of a seat cover (20) under which the airbag module (18) is to be mounted, wherein a plurality of tear strips (13) is provided. Furthermore, the invention relates to a seat with one such airbag module and also to a manufacturing apparatus and to an assembly method for one such airbag module.

Abstract: Negative-working imageable elements can be imaged and processed to provide lithographic printing plates. These imageable elements are sensitive to infrared radiation but are insensitive to “white” light and thus can be more easily handled under white light conditions. These properties are possible by incorporating a filter dye having a ?max of from about 300 to about 500 nm into the imageable layer of the imageable elements.

Abstract: The use of certain mercapto compounds as shelf life improvers for infrared-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors is disclosed. The compounds are five-membered heteroaromatic rings containing a nitrogen atom and at least one other heteroatom, which can be oxygen, sulfur, or another nitrogen atom, such that two ring heteroatoms are bonded to a ring carbon bearing a thiol group.
