IPC: F15B13/00

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a hydraulic control assembly comprising a directional control valve that can be proportionally adjusted, in such a way that even for a single-action hydraulic cylinder a significant increase in the lowering speed of the hydraulic consumer is prevented as the load pressure accumulates, in a simple manner. To achieve this, a measuring piston (82) can be subjected to a pressure prevailing in a first consumer chamber (38) during a displacement of a control piston (32) in the second direction. During the lowering operation, the load pressure prevailing in the first consumer chamber thus impinges on the measuring piston. The compensatory force thus created increases with the accumulating load pressure and displaces the control piston to reduce the flow rate cross-section between the first consumer chamber and the outlet chamber (44). A pressure differential, which increases by means of an accumulating load pressure can therefore be partially or wholly compensated, or even overcompensated by the reduction of the flow rate cross-section, thus limiting the lowering speed.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein neues Mittel zur Diagnose und Therapie des Nierenzellkarzinoms, sowie anderer Nierentumore, beispielsweise des Wilms-Tumors, oder anderer, nicht der Niere entstammender Tumor. Anwendungsgebiete der Erfindung sind die Medizin und die pharmazeutische Industrie. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die bei dem heutigen Bearbeitungsstand dringend erforderlichen neuen Behandlungsformen und auch neue diagnostische Mittel für Nierenzellkarzinome bereitzustellen. Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass das NBK-Protein, das im normalen Nierengewebe hoch exprimiert ist, im Tumorgewebe überhaupt nicht oder nur sehr schwach exprimiert ist. Die Proteinexpression und der Verlust von NBK wurde bei 80 Nierenzellkarzinom-Proben mittels Immunhistochemie und Mutationsanalytik untersucht. Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren zur Diagnose ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die NBK-Protein-Konzentration bzw. die NBK-RNA-Menge im Geweb bestimmt wird. Das erfindungsgemässe Mittel zur Therapie des Nierenzellkarzinoms und anderer Nierentumore ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es die NBK-Proteinkonzentration in Nierenzellen oder anderen Geweben erhöht und in diesen Zellen direkt den therapeutischen Effekt auslöst.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for a handoff in a broadcast communication system is disclosed. A subscriber-assisted handoff is impractical in a broadcast communication system due to e.g., a high signaling load, a difficulty to synchronize the broadcast transmission. On the other hand, the small number of broadcast channels enables the subscriber station to perform the handoff autonomously. While performing a handoff between broadcast transmissions, a disruption of service occurs due to lack of synchronization among the broadcast transmissions. 
The method and the apparatus according to the invention hence achieve re-synchronization of content of a broadcast communication during handoff of a subscriber station by processing a first broadcast stream on a first broadcast. channel transmitted from a first terminal and determining service option parameters for processing a second broadcast stream on a second channel transmitted from a second terminal while decoding content of the first broadcast stream; upon synchronizing the first broadcast stream and the second broadcast stream, the processing of the first broadcast stream is terminated, and the processing of the second broadcast stream begins in accordance with the determined service option parameters.
