A total specification is divided into a hardware specification and a software specification. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the prevention or treatment of such diseases in which the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV enzyme is involved. This contains a discretely constructed VCO 6 with a sine oscillator that derives a higher-frequency signal from the supplied clock signal and converts this into a high-frequency clock signal of the output side. If the bushing that is housing the diecarrier tandem is misaligned with the plunger in any lateral direction, the amount of pressure may be compromised. The pump operating speed is adjusted as a function of the sensed temperatures. The invention further provides a removing apparatus for molded products and a method for cutting off gates of molded products, by which work for attaching the cutting unit is simplified and work for removing is made very efficient.
