Inventor: KROZOWSKI ZYGMUNT
IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of modulating cholesterol efflux in a cell, said method comprising modulating expression and/or activity of sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) and/or caveolin-1 in the cell. Applicants have found that cholesterol can be removed by cholesterol efflux which is regulated by CYP27 and/or caveolin-1. More suprisingly for CYP27 modulation the cholesterol effluxed remains in the form of cholesterol and not as oxidized cholesterol as would be expected in the presence of CYP27. Preferably, CYP27 is modulated in macrophages and caveolin-1 is modulated in hepatic cells.

Abstract: When the piston 15 reciprocates in the cylinder 7 along the axial direction
thereof by the driving mechanism 16, the displacer 8 reciprocates in the cylinder 7
along the axial direction thereof accompanying the reciprocation of the piston 15.
The piston 15 and the displacer 8 slide in contact with the inner peripheral

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of optimizing a transmission
mode of wirelessly transmitted data. The method includes selecting a first
transmission mode based on a predetermined channel database and a first
channel characterization. The first channel characterization can be based upon
signaly transmitted in an initial mode. An error factor is generated based on a
difference between an estimated performance characteristic, and an expected
performance characteristic. A subsequent transmission mode is selected based
upon the predetermined channel database, the error factor and a subsequent
channel characterization. The predetermined channel database can include a
predetermined look-up-table that provides transmission mode selections based
upon the channel characterizations. The look-up-table generally includes a
plurality of quality parameter thresholds that determine the selection of a
transmission mode. Another method includes receiving transmission signals
that include data encoded in an initial transmission mode. A first quality
parameter of the received transmission signals is measured. A subsequent
transmission mode is selected based upon the quality parameter. Transmission
signals are received having data encoded in the subsequent transmission
mode. A second quality parameter is measured. A parameter is adjusted
within selection criteria of another subsequent transmission mode based upon
the second quality parameter.

Abstract: Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kolbenpumpe (18), insbesondere für eine elektronisch regelbare Fahrzeugbremsanlage. Aufgabe derartiger Kolbenpumpen (18) ist es, den notwendigen Druck zur Modulation des Bremsdrucks in Radbremszylindern bereitzustellen. Kolbenpumpen (18) haben, bedingt durch ihr Arbeitsprinzip, den Nachteil, dass sie im angeschlossenen Hydrauliksystem Druckpulsationen hervorrufen können, die im Innenraum eines Fahrzeugs wahrnehmbar sind. Diese Druckpulsationen können Geräusche und/oder ein pulsierendes Bremspedal hervorrufen. Beide Effekte werden vielfach als störend empfunden. Zur Dämpfung der Druckpulsationen ist es deshalb bekannt, dem Druckmittelauslass (82) einer Kolbenpumpe (18) eine Drossel nachzuschalten. Die Erfindung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache, preisgünstige und bauraumsparende Darstellung einer Drossel und eines hydraulisch vorgeschalteten Filters, welches einer verschmutzungsbedingten Verstopfung der Drossel entgegenwirkt.
