Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing adhesive die-cut articles with internal cut-outs 3 from an endless web 1, the web having a carrier layer 4, at least one adhesive layer 5 and, if appropriate, a matrix layer 6, and to a die-cut article produced by the method. In order to produce a die-cut article with an internal cut-out 3 whilst avoiding the use of a hollow punch, the contour 17 of the internal cut-out 3 and the external contour 10 of the respective die-cut article are die-cut out of the adhesive layer 5 and, if appropriate, the matrix layer 6 one after another, the external contour 10 not having any common point with the die-cutting line of the internal cut-out 3, the carrier layer 4 with the die-cutting residues from the internal cut-out 3 being pulled off over a pull-off edge, and the remaining web being transferred to a protective film 8.

Abstract: Self-adhesive, flexible sealing tapes, comprising at least one flexible, self-adhesive core or at least one flexible, self-abhesive carrier layer provided with an envelope or two-sided coating consisting of a second adhesive system.

Abstract: A symmetrical open-end wrench having rear side corners adjacent open ends of the throat of the wrench and opposing jaws defining an opening for receiving a fastener, the jaws having parallel planar section, and continuously diverging surfaces with fastener-engaging irregularities merging with the respective rear side corners in a smooth transition.

Abstract: A method of preventing or treating diseases mediated by Helicobacter pylori, comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of pleuromutilin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an appliance connector device having an A plug contact, a B plug contact and a G plug contact, an A? terminal, a B? terminal and a G? terminal, an electrically conducting filter jacket and a filter module, wherein the filter module has an A? conductor, a B? conductor and a G? conductor, wherein the A contact is connected to the A? terminal via the A? conductor, wherein the B contact is connected to the B? terminal via the B? conductor, wherein the G contact is connected to the G? terminal via the G? conductor, wherein the G? conductor of the filter module has a shielding plate extending in a cross-sectional plane of the filter jacket and wherein the filter module has capacitance elements on both sides of the shielding plate with conducting surfaces aligned parallel to the shielding plate to generate capacitances between the A? conductor and the B? conductor and between these conductors and the G? conductor.

Abstract: An inner sole for a shoe, the inner sole having a heel portion, a mid-area portion, a metatarsal portion, a metatarsal/toe transition portion and a toe portion. Force absorbing, compressible blisters, each having a perforation, extend across the heel portion, the mid-area portion and the metatarsal portion. There are truncated blisters in the metatarsal portion and no blisters in the toe portion. Orifices are disposed between the blisters and truncated blisters, and are in the toe portion. The orifices dissipate moisture from a user's foot. Also disclosed is a shoe arrangement including the foregoing inner sole, and layers including a breathable and/or moisture permeable layer and a fluid-absorbing layer.

Abstract: A process for isolating N-butylbenzenesulfonamide (NBBS) from biological material, the chemical synthesis of benzenesulfonamide derivatives, the use of NBBS and benzenesulfonamide derivatives for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and/or prostate carcinoma, the production of medicaments for the treatment thereof, and the use of NBBS and benzenesulfonamide derivatives as a lead substance in the development of active substances for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and/or prostate carcinoma are provided.

Abstract: A stretch film with a base (1) consisting of a film material and with a multitude of holes (2) that are formed in the base (1) in several rows (3) of holes extending, in essence, in parallel to each other and in a main direction (X) comprises at least one layer of strips (4) consisting of a film material and extending in the main direction (X), said layer being arranged on the base (1) between the rows (3) of holes. Owing to the applied strips (4), a high stretchability of the stretch film can be achieved.

Abstract: An insulated wall outlet plate assembly. The assembly provides the dual functions of both preventing drafts through the outlet and for preventing against unwanted or accidental access to the outlet. The wall outlet plate assembly includes a wall plate for covering an electrical outlet, a flap assembly secured to the plate having moveable flaps which may be secured in place to close the openings in the outlet plate and a layer of insulation material secured to the backside of the outlet plate for providing insulation against drafts through the outlet. The flaps include an underlying ridge which secures the flaps in place relative to the openings of the outlet plate.
