Abstract: The method involves controlling a coolant pump of a combustion engine, whereby a heat quantity to be conducted is determined from at least one motor operating parameter, and a pulse width modulation of a control signal for a nominal number of revolutions of the coolant pump is produced in dependence on the heat quantity. The signal is examined for errors through comparisons with a predefined nominal signal range. If an error of the signal is determined, an emergency program for the coolant pump is performed, otherwise the number of revolutions of the coolant pump is regulated in response to the produced signal.

Abstract: Lorsque l'on ingère cet aliment contenant une matière grasse ou de l'huile, celui-ci a moins tendance à s'accumuler que la graisse corporelle, il peut donc être utilisé plus fréquemment en tant que source d'énergie et contribue au stockage de glycogène dans le foie et les muscles pendant les périodes de pertes de force physique, de fatigue, d'exercices physiques, et analogue. Ainsi cet aliment permet de récupérer d'un état de fatigue, constitue un apport nutritionnel, renforce la résistance et autres, possède une excellente stabilité quant à l'oxydation de la matière grasse ou de l'huile qu'il contient et présente des qualités gustatives voulues, comme la dissolution dans la bouche. Cet aliment comprend au moins 0,5 % en poids d'un glycéride partiel contenant un acide gras possédant 2 à 10 atomes de carbone.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for forming and reinforcing a butt splice (21) along the abutting edges (18, 20) of two elastomeric sheets (12, 14) which  typically contain a plurality of reinforcing cords (16) extending parallel to one another and to the abutting edges (18, 20) of the sheets. Each butt splice (21) is reinforced with a splice strip (22, 24) which bridges the butt splice. The splice strip (22, 24) is applied to the butt splice (21) using a splice applicating device (60) containing at least one and preferably two applicator heads (66, 68) which move from a splice strip load position P1 to a third position P3 where an applicator head can press the splice strip (22, 24) into contact with the butt splice (21). First, the applicator heads (66, 68) rotate about an axis between the load position P1 and a second position P2 spaced from the butt splice (21). Then, one of the heads (66, 68) reciprocates toward and away from the splice strip application position P3. The splice strip (22, 24) is held on the applicator head (66, 68) by vacuum until the splice strip is pressed against and adhered to the butt splice (21) at which time the vacuum is released and the applicator head (66, 68) is withdrawn.

Abstract: An optimal data block size is determined for use in transmitting data at variable rates over a communications link in predetermined time intervals, where each predetermined time interval has the same time duration. Rather than varying data block size according to changes in transmission rates, which adds unnecessary complexity, the data blocks all have the same fixed size, i.e., the same number of data bits in each block. That fixed data block size is determined so that for all of the available data transmission rates, each predetermined time interval is fully occupied with useful information. The fixed data block size is determined based on a maximum frequency at which the transmission rate may change on the communications link and a lowest available transmission rate. Preferably, the fixed size of each data block is limited by predetermined maximum and minimum data block sizes in order to reduce the number of bit errors per data block, maintain a certain data throughput, and limit the amount of overhead bits relative to the number of payload bits for each data block.

Abstract: A braided self-expandable stent-graft membrane made of elongated members forming a generally tubular body. A membrane layer and graft layer are disposed on an endoprosthesis such as a stent. The membrane layer is substantially impermeable to fluids. The outermost layer is biocompatible with the body tissue. The innermost layer is biocompatible with the fluid in the passage. An embodiment includes a graft layer disposed on the inside of a stent and a membrane layer disposed on the outside of the stent. The innermost layer is biocompatible with the fluid in the passage. The stent-graft-membrane is used at a treatment site in a body vessel or organ where it is desirous to exclude a first fluid located outside the endoprosthesis from reaching a second fluid located in the lumen. The membrane may be made of silicone or polycarbonate urethane. The graft may be braided, woven, spun or spray-cast PET, PCU, or PU fibers. The layers may include ePTFE or PTFE.

Abstract: A 2.4 Å crystal structure of a protein construct containing the catalytic kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/KDR), a key enzyme in angiogenesis, has been determined in an unliganded, phosphorylated state. This protein construct, contains a modified catalytic linker and has comparable in vitro kinase activity to constructs containing the entire KID. The resulting construct retains comparable in vitro kinase activity to that of the wild-type KID, and more importantly, allows complete crystallization of the protein such that it may be characterized by X-ray crystallography. The present invention further discloses the use of the x-ray crystallographic data for identification and construction of possible therapeutic compounds in the treatment of various disease conditions.
