Abstract: A vehicle wheel comprises a wheel disk (1) having a central opening (5) and contact faces which are arranged around the central opening (5), by means of which contact faces the vehicle wheel can be clamped against a mating face. Situated on at least one circle about the central point of the central opening (5) are first and second contact faces (9, 3), the first contact faces (9) of which project axially further than the second contact faces (3). It is likewise possible for the radially furthest inner contact face to project axially furthest from contact faces which are arranged concentrically around the central opening. This permits improved wheel seating properties in the case of steel structure wheels. On account of the improved force flow, it is additionally possible for the wheel disk to be formed with a lower sheet metal thickness, resulting in weight and cost advantages.

Title: Chirurgie cardiaque de remplacement par micronutriments

IPC: A61K33/34
Filed: 2007-05-08
Abstract: Le cœur est l'organe le plus important du corps et une quelconque dégradation de son fonctionnement peut entraîner la mort d'une personne en quelques minutes. Un procédé existant pour soigner le cœur est la chirurgie à cœur ouvert. Mais celle-ci est un travail très pénible, difficile, onéreux et risqué qui requiert également une technologie extrêmement sophistiquée avec un équipement sophistiqué dans des salles d'opération bien équipées. Dans la majorité des cas, la crise cardiaque se produit soudainement sans symptômes préalables entraînant une mort subite. Désormais, la seule manière d'éviter une crise cardiaque est de soigner le cœur de telle manière qu'il n'arrive pas à une crise cardiaque. Selon la présente invention, un soin de l'hypertension à cent pour cent et d'un quelconque type de blocage du cœur sans chirurgie à cœur ouvert est possible (même après une crise cardiaque) uniquement par l'administration des doses de micronutriments/éléments à l'état de traces à des niveaux de ppb et ppm par jour n'ayant aucun effet secondaire. C'est également une technologie préventive.
