Abstract:
Process for the preparation of phosphorus-containing L-amino acids, their derivatives and intermediates for this processL-amino acids of the formula I and salts thereof, ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 are defined as in claim 1 and n is 0 or 1, are obtained according to the invention bya) reacting an optically active S-homoserine lactone of the formula II, ##STR2## with hydrogen chloride in the presence of an alcohol of the formula R.sup.5 --OH to give novel compounds of the formula III, ##STR3## in which R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are defined as in formula I, except that R.sup.5 =H, andb) reacting the resulting compound of formula III with a compound of formula IV,R.sup.1 (O).sub.n -R(OR.sup.2).sub.2 (IV)and if desired, hydrolyzing the product to give a compound of formula I, in which R.sup.5 =H.
Abstract:
A method of obtaining a signal representing the phase difference between a local carrier signal and the carrier of an amplitude and/or phase shift keyed received signal wherein: the received signal is divided into two cartesian coordinate signal components which are a function of the phase difference and are in a quadrature relationship to one another; each pair of cartesian coordinate signal components, each representing one of a plurality of permitted signal states, is converted into two corresponding polar coordinate signal components, a decision is then made as to which is the permitted, unfalsified polar signal components which the polar signal components of the received signal most closely approach; and the phase difference is derived from a comparison between the decided-upon polar signal components and the received polar signal components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an endoprosthesis with a drug coating comprising or consisting of at least one antibiotic agent and at least one further substance having the following general
Abstract:
A solar module comprising at least a plurality of lamellar solar panels, which are mounted pivotably, about a common axis, on an elongate support and can be and which can be moved between a first position, in which they are disposed on top of each other substantially congruently and parallel to the support, and a second position, in which they lie substantially next to each other in a fanned out manner about the aforementioned axis, wherein the support can be pivoted out of a housing, which accommodates the support together with the solar panels in the first position of the panels, characterized in that the solar module comprises two supports of the aforementioned type equipped with solar panels in the manner described, wherein the two supports are pivotably hinged at the diametrical longitudinal ends of an elongate base support, which is mounted rotatably, about an approximately vertical axis, in the housing.
Abstract:
An apparatus for replacing or changing a shaving blade secured or securable to a blade holder beam of an ice resurfacing machine via a plurality of screws, and including a blade carrier. For each of the screws, the blade carrier is provided with a respective fixing element configured to cooperate with a head of that screw. The fixing elements reliably fix these screws in a prescribed position.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein concern medical products, which come into contact with the organism, such as short-term implants and long-term implants, coated with at least one layer, containing a molecular-disperse distributed or dissolved active substance in at least one carrier and optionally one or more adjuvants, wherein the at least one layer forms a stably spreadable solution, methods for making this coating of stably spreadable solution and use of the medical products coated with the stably spreadable solution.

Copolymer-modified nanoparticles produced by a process in which nanoparticles are ablated by laser radiation from a surface of a substrate in a liquid include an amphiphilic copolymer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to grid-like or net-like endoprosthesis having a continuous, respectively ongoing and interstices-spanning coating with a thread-tangle, wherein this continuous, respectively ongoing and interstices-spanning coating covers the struts as well as the interstices between the single endoprosthesis struts.
Abstract:
A method for coating catheter balloons with a defined amount of a pharmacologically active agent, uses a coating device having a volume measuring device for releasing a measurable amount of a coating solution by means of a dispensing device specifically onto the surface of the catheter balloon.
Abstract:
In an injection system having a device for metering fuel into an exhaust system of a Diesel engine, and a method for controlling the injection of fuel into the exhaust system, wherein the injection system has a high-pressure pump which feeds fuel to an accumulator under high pressure and injectors which inject fuel from the accumulator into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine, a fuel spray nozzle arranged in the exhaust system is in communication with the injection system via a fuel metering unit including a control valve and a metering valve and a pressure regulating valve is arranged between the control valve and the metering valve for controlling the pressure of the fuel being metered by the metering valve for injection into the exhaust system via the spray nozzle.
