Title: Rotor with a split rotor blade
Inventor: BANNASCH RUDOLF
IPC: F16D1/00
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2003-05-29
Abstract: A rotor through which a fluid flows in a main direction of flow, provided with at least one rotor blade, the rotor blade being arranged to rotate about a rotor axis. The rotor blade extends away from the axis of rotation into the field. To reduce the trailed tip vortex at the end of the rotor blades, the fluidic losses, and flow noise, the rotor blade is split in at least two partial blades at a set distance from the axis of rotation and forms a loop. One partial blade extends in the direction of rotation in relation to the rotor blade. The other partial blade extends in a direction opposite the direction of rotation to the rotor blade. The two partial blades are interconnected in one piece at their ends, to encompass a loop surface extending essentially crosswise to the main direction of flow, through which the fluid flows.

Granted: 2004-03-18
Abstract: A child safety seat comprises a child seat structure (50) having a base support surface (32) for resting on a vehicle seat cushion (12) and a back support surface (34) for abutting against the seat back (14) of the vehicle seat (10). A rigid link (52, 54) is pivotally attached to the child seat structure (50) so as to project from the child seat structure (50) between the base support surface (32) and the back support surface (34). A releasable connector (38) is mounted on the rigid link (52, 54) for engagement with a standard anchorage unit (16) associated with the vehicle seat (10).

Title: Epithelins: novel cysteine - rich growth modulating proteins
IPC: C12N15/18
Filed: 1991-04-03
Granted: 1993-08-05
Abstract: A novel family of growth regulatory proteins termed "epithelins" are described. The epithelins comprise several distinct members sharing significant structural homology. Two members of the epithelin family, epithelin 1 and epithelin 2, have been purified from natural sources. In addition, cDNA and PCR clones encoding mature and precursor epithelins from various chordate sources have been obtained and sequenced, including the complete human, mouse and rat epithelin precursors. The recombinant expression of rat epithelin precursor and mature forms is described. Purified epithelin 1 s a bifunctional growth regulator, capable of stimulating the growth of some cell types while inhibiting the growth of others. Purified epithelin 2 is functionally similar to epithelin 1 with respect to growth inhibitory bioactivity. In contrast, however, epithelin 2 is apparently not capable of eliciting the growth stimulatory activity characteristic of epithelin 1 and, in fact, antagonizes this epithelin 1 activity.
