Abstract:
The invention relates particularly to a spectacle lens having a first and a second surface, wherein at least the first surface of the spectacle lens has a major portion zone and at least one prism zone. The major portion zone of the first surface, together with the opposing second surface of the spectacle lens, forms a major portion of the spectacle lens, which is designed for vision in at least a predetermined distance. The prism zone of the first surface, together with the opposing second surface of the spectacle lens, forms a prism portion, which is designed and arranged such that an optical image of a display is formed at a predetermined virtual distance in front of the eyes of the spectacle wearer. The invention further relates to spectacles, which comprise the spectacle lens, and to a method and apparatuses for calculating or optimizing and producing the spectacle lens.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula I wherein R.sup.1a to R.sup.1e and R.sup.2 to R.sup.5 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:
In a device for dosing and transporting dry urea, e.g., for implementing the SCR method in a motor vehicle, the device includes a storage vessel containing the dry urea in the form of pellets, the wall of the storage vessel having an opening to which a transport line is connected on the outer side. The device also includes a compressed air nozzle which is arranged inside the storage vessel at a distance from the opening, is oriented towards the opening, and may be supplied with compressed air, and a portioning element having an upper side oriented towards the inside of the storage vessel and a lower side opposite the wall of the storage vessel. At least one continuous channel having a larger cross section than the dimensions of the pellets connects the upper side and the lower side in order to form at least one receiving element for the pellets.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula I wherein R1, R2, R4, R5, A, B, D and n are as defined, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, processes for their preparation, their use as pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, m and X are as defined in the description and claims, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with the modulation of CB1 receptors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of producing a single-strength spectacle lens while taking into account an individual spectacle wearer's data, the single-strength spectacle lens having a rotationally symmetrical base surface and a rotationally symmetrical aspherical or atoric prescription surface, comprising the following steps: Acquisition of an individual spectacle wearer's data; selection of a spectacle lens blank with a predetermined base surface from a group of spectacle lens blanks; and calculation and optimization of the prescription surface while taking into account at least a part of the individual spectacle wearer's data in addition to an adaptation of the dioptric effect by the prescription surface to the spectacle wearer's prescription. The invention also relates to a corresponding system for producing a single-strength spectacle lens and to an individual single-strength spectacle lens.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, m and X are as defined in the description and claims, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with the modulation of CB1 receptors.
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.
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.
