The invention relates to horse bit (), comprising a mouthpiece () configured to be inserted into a horse's mouth and comprising a first cheek () and a second cheek (). The mouthpiece includes a first end () and a second end () and a center portion () between the first end and the second end, wherein the center portion comprises at least one curved portion (). Each cheek includes a shank () with an upper arm () and a lower arm () for attachment of reins and a central portion () between the upper arm and the lower arm. The central portion of the first cheek is attached to the first end and the central portion of the second cheek is attached to the second end. Each upper arm extends along a longitudinal axis (A, A) and the axes of the upper arms define a first plane and wherein the center portion extends in a second plane that is inclined at an angle (α) of between 90° and 180° to the first plane, wherein the angle is measured forward from the upper arm. The invention relates to a horse bit assembly for inserting into a horse's mouth, comprising a first horse bit and a second horse bit wherein the first horse bit is a horse bit as mentioned above.

Horse bit

The invention relates to a horse bit () comprising a shackle () configured to be inserted into a horse's mouth. The shackle comprises at least one joint () and two side portions (), wherein the two side portions are connected by the at least one joint such that the side portions are pivotable to each other, and at least two eyelet members () each having an eyelet bore (), wherein the eyelet members are interlocked with play via their eyelet bores to provide the at least one joint. Further, in a cross section in the range of one of the eyelet members along or substantially parallel to an axis of the eyelet bore a cross-sectional width (W, W) of the one eyelet member is larger than the inner width (W) of the eyelet bore of the other eyelet member.

The invention relates to a horse bit comprising a shackle () configured to be inserted into a horse's mouth. The shackle () extends along a longitudinal path (A) and has a first end () and a second end () for attachment of cheeks (). In a cross-section substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal path (A) the shackle () has at least one shackle surface region () comprising a linear or a concave surface profile section ().

The present invention relates to a method for determining a qualitative characteristic of an interferometric component (eg a planar waveguide structure) or a process for determining a qualitative characteristic of a stimulus of interest to which the interferometric component (eg the planar waveguide structure) has been exposed by measuring a non-positional characteristic of the interference fringes.

Method for determining a qualitative characteristic of an interferometric component

The present invention relates to a sensor device and method for measuring a property associated with the introduction of or changes in a chemical, biological or physical stimulus in a localized environment, in particular to a sensor device and method for measuring the partition coefficient of a chemical stimulus such as a pharmaceutical compound.

Sensor device

The present invention relates to a sensor assembly and method for measuring changes in dimension and/or composition of a sensor component (and associated factors) caused by the introduction of or changes in a chemical, physical or biological stimulus in a localized environment.

Sensor assembly

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal mixture, especially for a liquid crystal cell for a color liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising a liquid crystal material and a dye, wherein said dye has a dipole, preferably a permanent dipole. The invention further relates to a liquid crystal cell for a color liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal mixture, substrate plates or substrate means for comprising said liquid crystal mixture, electrodes for applying an electric field to said liquid crystal mixture and a voltage source for applying a voltage to said electrodes, wherein said liquid crystal mixture comprises a dye with optical anisotropic properties having a dipole, preferably a permanent dipole. The invention further relates to a use of a dye with a dipole for a liquid crystal mixture, especially for a liquid crystal cell and/or liquid crystal displays.
