Abstract: The device has an electronic air pressure sensor (2) and a digital differentiation circuit which forms a differential quotient of the change in pressure with time. The differential circuit is connected to a display for showing the air pressure rate of change with its sign and magnitude. The air pressure sensor is electrically powered in cyclic intervals. The cyclically generated air pressure values are tested for plausibility. Only the plausible air pressure values are taken into account for the differential quotient. Preferably, only the plausible quotients are taken into account for controlling the display. Preferably, at least three air pressure values are examined in a predetermined time interval and are temporarily stored in a memory.

Abstract: A strain of Lactobacillus salivarius isolated from resected and washed human gastrointestinal tract inhibits a broad range of Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms and secretes a product having antimicrobial activity into a cell-free supernatant. The activity is produced only by, growing cells and is destroyed by proteinase K and pronase E, the inhibitory properties of the strain and its secretory products being maintained in the presence of physiological concentrations of human bile and human gastric juice. The strain exhibits a broad-spectrum of activity against bacteria including Listeria, Staphylococcus, including methocillin resistant St. aureus (MRSA), and Bacillus, but does not inhibit many closely related lactobacilli. An antimicrobial agent is obtained from the strain which has bacteriocin-like properties.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously hardening a group of cams on a camshaft comprises first heating the group of cams at low power for at least one heating interval, then pausing the heating for a pause interval during which no power is applied to the group of cams, and then subsequently heating the group of cams at high power for one heating interval. The pause intervals, during which no power is applied to the group of cams, are sufficient as to allow heat stored in the cams to distribute uniformly throughout the cams. Each group of cams is hardened by a linear inductor and the regions of the camshafts that are not to be hardened are shielded by a cooling device.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a sealing mat in the form of a roll strip designed so as to seal in an airy manner the crown or arris tiles. In order to improve the adhesiveness between the rubber-film roll strip (1) of the sealing mat and the metal strips (2a), it is suggested that perforations be provided in the edge areas (2) of the roll strip (1), on the longitudinal edge of the rubber film. It is also suggested that strippable tapes (6) be provided on the longitudinal edge underside of the rubber film. When pasting the metal tapes (2a) on the rubber film, material elements from the strippable tapes (2a) are compressed through the perforations (1a), thereby forming in the latter (1a) material plugs (6b), from which material such a butyl is obtained for making the strippable tapes. The material plugs (6b) adhere to the underside of the underlying metal strips.

Abstract: In a method for producing a streak-free quartz glass sheet with a highly homogeneous degree of refraction, a quartz glass rod is lowered into a melting pot parallel to a longitudinal axis of the quartz glass rod. A cross-section of the melting pot is larger than a cross-section of the quartz glass rod and determines a contour of the quartz glass sheet. The quartz glass rod is heated in the melting pot to a flow temperature whereupon the quartz glass rod is lowered until the quartz glass rod melts and a height of the quartz glass flowing in the melting pot reaches a desired quartz glass sheet thickness. The melting pot and the quartz glass rod move relative to each other in a direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the quartz glass rod during the melting process. Preferably, the movement involves a rotational and a transverse movement.
