Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula I wherein R1a to R1e and R2 to R5 are as defined in the description and claims, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are glucocorticoid receptor antagonists useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, adrenal imbalance or depression.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a progressive spectacle lens and to a corresponding apparatus, a computer program product, a storage medium and to the use of a progressive spectacle lens. The invention also relates to a method for producing a progressive spectacle lens for correcting defective vision of a spectacle wearer, comprising the following steps: the vertical and/or the horizontal spatial position of a distance reference point and/or a near reference point is specified or determined in accordance with individual data of the spectacle wearer; the spectacle lens is optimized or calculated such that the required dioptric effect of the spectacle lens is obtained in the individually determined distance reference point and/or the near reference point.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a spectacle lens device comprising at least one electrically adaptive area, wherein optical properties of the spectacle lens device can be controlled in an electric manner. The spectacle lens device is configured in such a manner that the optical properties of a predetermined or predeterminable control area can be controlled in an electrical manner which is essentially independent from the optical properties in a surrounding area. The invention also relates to the control area and to the surrounding area, respectively, about a partial area of the electrically adaptive area. The control area and the surrounding area do not a common area. The invention further relates to a pair of spectacles comprising a spectacle lens device, to the use of the inventive spectacle lens device and also to a method for operating an electrically adaptive area.
Abstract:
Winding machine for winding a web of material divided into strips by longitudinal cuts, in particular a web of paper, plastic of metal foil, having two winding shafts that extend transversely across the machine width, which are positioned at one side of the machine in a pivotable turning device for moving from a winding position to a discharge position and back, whereby at the machine side opposite the turning device, a support device having a support element is arranged, which can be vertically moved by a drive, and which supports the end of a winding shaft on its way from the winding position to the discharge position.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): wherein —X—Y—, R1 to R11 and n are as defined in the description and claims, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases which are mediated by CETP inhibitors.
Abstract:
This invention provides novel methods of obtaining autologous monoclonal antibodies (AMABs) to self-antigens or homologs thereof. The method involves obtaining a genetically engineered host animal that does not biosynthesize at least one epitope of the antigen and utilizes the lack of self-tolerance of the host to the epitope to produce antibodies specific to the antigen. The invention also encompasses the AMABs produced by the methods. The invention further encompasses methods of isolating cells comprising the use of such AMABs that have specificity for a cell surface antigen.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula I as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, A1 and A2 have the significance given in claim 1, can be used in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment or prevention of arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal failure, eating disorders and obesity.
