Abstract:
A plug connector set-up for a control unit includes: a pin support having a pin; and a guide element having a lead-through for positioning the pin at a circuit board of the control unit. The lead-through has an entrance opening on the side facing the pin support and an outlet opening on the side facing away from the pin support. A diameter of the entrance opening is greater than a diameter of the outlet opening. The pin includes a centering region having a diameter which is less than the diameter of the entrance opening and greater than the diameter of the outlet opening.
Abstract:
The tires for vehicles possess under their tread a belt which extends in the circumferential direction. At least one, preferentially two, layers contain, as strengthening and stabilizing means, foils or sheets with direction-dependent rigidity, which possesses its highest value in a preferred direction. The foils or sheets are so arranged that the preferred direction is oblique to the circumferential direction. Preferentially, the direction-dependent rigidity is realized with a waving or crimping. Through this alignment, which is arranged oblique to the tire circumference, the stabilizing effect of the waving is seen in both the longitudinal as well as the oblique directions. Thus, in comparison with the usual belted tires, less material is needed in tire production, and these tires are both light, but nevertheless possess good driving characteristics and superb rolling resistance.
Abstract:
A pipe coupling is disclosed which is capable of being periodically coupled and uncoupled between two lengths of pipe. The pipe coupling includes a first and a second union which are fixed between an intervening length of pipe such that the intervening length of pipe does not have to be of a precision length. The outer periphery of one end of the pipe contains serrations and this end is fixed to the first union by a serrated compression ring and a backnut. By tightening the backnut onto the first union, the compression ring firmly engages the serrations on the pipe and prevents axial movement thereof. The second union includes a non-binding compression ring and a backnut as well as having an internal elongated bore of approximately the same diameter as the outer diameter of the pipe. As the backnut is tightened onto the second union, the compression ring is squeezed about the outer periphery of the pipe and forms a seal therewith. One benefit of this second union is that it can be repeatedly coupled and uncoupled relative to the pipe to permit the intervening length of pipe to be moved into or out of the second union as the need arises. The second union also permits a tight seal to be formed even when a limited amount of misalignment exist between the pipe and the second union.
Abstract:
The present invention relates pharmaceutical compositions comprising a conjugate of an active substance, a linker and a carrier for the treatment and/or diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. The present invention further relates to methods using such pharmaceutical compositions for treating and diagnosing inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, and inflammatory neovascularization.
Abstract:
A foldable rollover protection system, or ROPS, is equipped with a lever to assist in raising and lowering the ROPS, without the necessity of the operator leaving the vehicle seat. The lever is slidably mounted in a guide on the upper, folding, part of the ROPS to allow it to slide out of the way when not in use. Appropriate holes are provided in the pivot bracket into which a pin can be inserted to lock the ROPS in its raised or lowered positions. A spring clip is provided which can hold the pin in place in either set of holes.

Abstract:
The invention relates to new side chain-fluorinated 3′-deoxythymidine derivatives of the general formula I or physiological acceptable esters thereof, wherein R═CH218F; CH18F2; CH2F or CHF2 and Y═H, N3 or Hal. The invention also relates to a simple and efficient method for the preparation of these 3′-deoxythymidines of formula I and to the use of the 18F-containing compounds of formula I or of a pharmaceutical composition comprising these compounds for the diagnosis of tumors in positron emission tomography (PET).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a conjugate which consists of an active substance and a native protein which is not regarded as exogenous and distinguish itself in that an intracellulary cleavable linker is present between the active substance and the protein. In addition, this invention concerns a process for the preparation of such a conjugate and its use.
Abstract:
A container for storing in particular water-endangering liquids has an inner wall and an outer wall spaced therefrom. In the lower area of the container is connected a pipeline forming a lower outlet and which is formed by an inner pipe and an outer pipe surrounding it. At the inner pipe end remote from the container is positioned a shutoff fitting and the outer pipe issues into a protective casing tightly surrounding the shutoff fitting. The gaps between the two walls and between the two pipes, as well as the inner space of the protective casing are monitored for a possible leak. So that when liquid is removed its unintentional escape in the case of damage can be reliably avoided, from the shutoff fitting a further extending pipeline extends outwards in sealed manner through the protective casing. Outside the protective casing, the further extending pipeline contains at least one shutoff device, the shutoff fitting being pretensioned in its closed position and can be brought into the open position counter to the pretension by means of a control device, if at least the shutoff device is opened and no leak is detected in the monitored spaces.
