Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for detecting traffic jams. Said device comprises an evaluating device (4) having a first, second and third interface (6, 8, 10), to which a GPS receiver (14), a speed measuring device (22) or a GSM transmitter/receiver unit (26) can be connected. Said evaluating device (4) comprises a memory unit (30) which stores the positional data, a calculating unit (32) which determines the direction of travel on the basis of the positional data, a comparative unit (34) for comparing the measured speed with a given speed limit, a time measuring device (36) for measuring the time during which the measured speed is below the speed limit, and a connecting unit (38) which is designed in such a way that, if the measured time exceeds a time limit, the current position and the direction of travel of the vehicle (2) are transmitted to the GSM transmitter/receiver unit (26) via the third interface (10) for transmission to a central control office (74). The inventive device and method have the advantage of enabling a traffic jam to be detected immediately.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for solubilising and purifying recombinant proteins which are expressed in bacterial host cells and are deposited as insoluble aggregates (inclusion bodies). The purification is based on conversion of the inclusion bodies into soluble forms using organic denaturing reagents and using chromatographic methods. Inorganic, alkaline, salt-containing eluents are selected here which, after purification is complete, enable the recombinant proteins, after neutralisation, to be made available in a form which can be employed directly for medical use and is physiologically acceptable. The method is particularly suitable for purifying allergens and allergen fragments.

Abstract: The locking device (26) for keeping the chuck (10) closed includes an intermediate ring (28) which cooperates with the chuck jaws in order to open and close the chuck and which can be rotated relative to the chuck body (22). When the chuck is in the clamping position, in which the jaws are in contact with each other or a tool, the locking device prevents relative movement in the chuck opening direction (46), but allows relative movement in the chuck closure direction (38). A ratchet (30) attached to the ring engages with notches (34) when the chuck is in the clamping position, the notches having a fixed position relative to the chuck body. The actuator sleeve (12) can be rotated relative to the ring and this rotation can be restricted by a coupling part (32) connected to this sleeve. The ring and actuator sleeve engage with each other in two end positions, in which rotational force is transmitted from the actuator sleeve to the ring. <??>A coaxial actuator sleeve extends around at least part of the chuck body. The jaws of the chuck are movable along angled guides by rotating the actuator sleeve.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un nouveau procédé utilisant la technologie laser pour amorcer des charges explosives (6, 10, 17, 30) et à un dispositif, destiné à amorcer des explosifs, qui fonctionne conformément au procédé selon des principes entièrement nouveaux. L'idée de base de l'invention consiste à amorcer la charge explosive, non pas de la manière classique utilisant un rayonnement émis par un laser, mais par autodestruction ou surchauffe d'une source laser (2, 11, 18, 25, 33) assemblée à la charge explosive(6, 10, 17, 30). L'objectif est donc de faire fondre ou exploser la source laser, et d'amorcer l'explosif de cette manière. L'invention permet d'utiliser même de très petites sources laser, du type mini ou micro, pour déclencher des charges explosives, à la place de sources laser très puissantes antérieurement nécessaires pour atteindre le même but.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methodology of and apparatus for accurately positioning devices for performing endoscopic cannulation, papillotomy and sphincterotomy and similar procedures. The sphincterotome with a steerable or adjustable distal segment of the present invention allows the physician to control the position of the distal tip of the device independently of the endoscope and adjust for inconsistencies in the device and the anatomy. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a threaded portion of a cable assembly cooperates with a torque transmission element and a cog to enable the operator to rotate a cutting wire into a desired position relative to the catheter. Alternate embodiments allow the operator to fix the depth of a needle knife while allowing, if desired, accurate rotational positioning of the associated catheter. Threaded stabilizing elements, pivot elements and a steering wire may be used together or individually to accomplish these features. Presently available products that may be modified according to the present invention include, but are not limited to, Boston Scientific Sphincterotomes and Needle Knives.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the workload of titrating drug to effect while leaving clinician users in control of a related procedure is described. A drug delivery device is controlled to achieve a target drug concentration at a selected site in the patient or a predetermined infusion rate waveform. The time profile of the target drug concentration or a predetermined infusion rate waveform is controlled by a drug state model that uses clinical heuristics to implement safe, pre-defined changes in the target drug concentration or infusion rate and user-commanded changes in target drug concentration or infusion rate. The invention allows time to assess the response of the patient to changes in drug level by making small incremental and conservative changes in drug level over time.

Abstract: A surface structure is produced on an outer surface of an implant or a fixture and forms a base structure in a range of implants related to different types and qualities of jaw bone. During production of the surface, parts of a turning tool are placed against the implant or against a blank which is intended to form the implant. The parts and/or the implant are assigned controls which give rise to mutual displacements between the parts and the implant so that the parts follow a substantially spiral trajectory along the outer surface. By means of said controls, a long wave pattern is formed with successive peaks and with through lying between these. In this connection, a through can be arranged adjacent to the outer parts of an existing thread. The controls are chosen so as to produce through depths in the range of 25 to 250 μm, preferably 50 to 200 μm. The invention also relates to an implant which bas the same character as the implant produced by the method.
