Inventor: AHNER PETER DIPL-ING
IPC: B62D6/10
Filed: 1990-09-11
Abstract: An economical power steering with a high degree of inherent safety for vehicles with an empty weight below 1000 kg has a reversible electric servomotor (16) which generates on the steering gear a torque which supports a rotational movement at the steering wheel. The steering column (10) and input shaft (11) of the steering gear are coupled to one another in such a way that only a limited relative rotation of the two with respect to one another is permitted, which rotation is detected by a sensor (40). A control circuit (50) controls the torque, produced by the servomotor (16), as a function of the sensor signal of the sensor (40). In the force flux between the servomotor (16) and input shaft (11) of the steering gear, a bidirectional free-wheel (20) is arranged which is controlled by the steering column (10). In the case of relative rotation of the steering column (10) with respect to the input shaft (11) of the steering gear, the free-wheel (20) produces a rotational connection between servomotor (16) and input shaft (11) in both directions of rotation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Filtre à liquide comprenant un logement dans lequel sont disposés des milieux filtrants. Une soupape de sûreté permet au filtrat de liquide d'éviter les milieux lorsque le différentiel de pression dans les milieux dépasse un niveau prédéterminé. Ladite soupape de sûreté comprend un élément de soupape composé d'un disque de soupape duquel s'étendent quatre tiges. Le ressort de fermeture de la soupape s'engage dans lesdites tiges afin de maintenir ladite soupape fermée jusqu'à ce que le différentiel de pression atteigne un niveau prédéterminé. Les tiges sont conçues de sorte que seuls deux tiges s'engagent dans le ressort pendant le fonctionnement normal de la soupape. Par conséquent, les deux autres tiges demeurent non chargées par le ressort de la soupape, mais peuvent s'engager dans le bord de l'ouverture de la soupape en cas de défaillance de l'une ou des deux autres tiges afin d'empêcher que l'élément de soupape ne tombe dans le filtrat de liquide, bloquant ainsi l'écoulement du filtrat de liquide jusqu'au moteur, ce qui provoque une panne grave du moteur.

Title: Inhibition of lymphocyte adherence to vascular endothelium utilizing a novel extracellular matrix receptor-ligand interaction
Inventor: WAYNER ELIZABETH
IPC: C07K14/78
Filed: 1990-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting the adhesion of one cell to another comprising interfering with the interaction between the extracellular matrix receptor and its ligand. The invention is based upon the discovery that the  alpha 4 beta 1 extracellular matrix receptor promotes adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells via attachment to a defined peptide sequence. Prior to the present invention, the ligand of the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor had not been identified, nor had the function of the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor in lymphocyte attachment been known. By preventing the interaction between the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor and its ligands using antibodies or defined peptide sequences, the present invention enables, for the first time, specific intervention in the migration of lymphocytes through the vascular endothelium and into tissues. The present invention, therefore, has particular clinical utility in suppression of the immune response, in various specific embodiments of the invention, the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelium may be inhibited systemically, or may, alternatively, be localized to particular tissues or circumscribed areas. Accordingly, the present invention provides for treatment of diseases involving autoimmune responses as well as other chronic or relapsing activations of the immune system, including allergy, asthma, and chronic inflammatory skin conditions.

Abstract: The invention represents a specific analysis of unbalance measuring signals during the balance measuring operation on a permanently calibrated, force-measuring balancing machine (20). In this arrangement, at least three unbalance measured values are determined at various measuring speeds during the unbalance measuring run. An analysing circuit (7) forms from these at least two differential values of the unbalance measured values adjacent in terms of speed. If, as a result, it is found by the analysing circuit (7) that the differential values between the adjacent higher measuring speeds are greater in proportion than those between the adjacent lower speeds, a resonance rise is established and signalled. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: Locking system for a cover (T) of an aperture on a vehicle, having a catch on the cover which, in the catch position, prevents an unintentional opening of the cover. The catch can be locked in the catch position or released by means of a bolt element (V). A control unit (S) to be mounted in the vehicle sends a locking or releasing bolt command (R) to the bolt element as a function of a control signal (B). A portable hand transmitter (H) can emit actuating signals (C). A receiver (E) to be mounted in the vehicle serves for receiving the actuating signals (C) and for transferring these actuating signals as control signals (B) to the control unit, in order to trigger the bolt command. A sensor (F) detects the particular existing position state of the bolt element and, in the locked position state of the catch, transmits a locking signal (Y) to the control unit. After the transfer of the actuating signal, the control unit checks whether the sensor is transmitting the locking signal. In the absence of a locking signal, the control unit transmits a warning signal (H) to a constructional element which is already mounted on the vehicle in any case for other purposes and the actuation of which constitutes a highly conspicuous indication of the warning signal even for a person who operates the hand transmitter from the limit of the range of the hand transmitter. <IMAGE>
