Title: Device for protecting individuals during a frontal impact with a motor vehicle
Inventor: MIKA FRANK
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: This protective device (100) is used in a motor vehicle having a front hood (300), which covers the front of the vehicle, leads up to the front windshield and which, at the windshield, is rotatably coupled via a hinge system (200) to the body of the front of the vehicle on both sides of the vehicle. According to the state of the art, the inventive protective device consists of a hinge support (2), which is provided for indirectly coupling the hinge system (200) to the vehicle body and which is mounted in a raisable manner on the body of the front of the vehicle. The protective device also consists of an energy-storing implement, which acts upon the hinge support (2) while being provided in the form of a spring storage system (4), and consists of a sensor-controlled retaining device (11) for actively engaging with the hinge support (2) so that, in the normal state, the hinge support is held down and, during a collision, can be released by sensor actuation in order to execute a limited raising movement. The aim of the invention is to prevent, in particular, diversions of force when the protective device is raised. To this end, the inventive device is designed in such a manner that a guide base plate (8), which is linearly guided in both directions inside a housing (1), is provided in the form of a raising plate for the hinge support (2). The hinge support (2) is eccentrically coupled to this guide base plate in a tilting manner by means of a shaft (3) and is actively engaged with the spring storage system (4) and with the sensor-actuated retaining device (11).

Title: Hydrogel providing cell-specific ingrowth
Inventor: BRACHER MONA
IPC: C12N5/08
Filed: 2004-11-03
Abstract: A polymeric biomaterial that facilitates cell-specific ingrowth. The polymeric biomaterial encourages the ingrowth of cell types while reducing the ingrowth of undesirable cell types. This activity encourages proper integration of prosthetic implants or scaffolds utilizing this biomaterial by discouraging encapsulation or the accumulation of inflammatory cells such as macrophages, while encouraging infiltration by desirable cells such as endothelial or smooth muscle cells. Short peptide sequences are included in a polymeric biomaterial that result in complementary activities. Peptide sequences that are specifically cleaved by proteases found within preferred cells are used to cross-link the biomaterial and lead to degradation by those cells. Peptide sequences taken from proteins involved in cell adhesion can also be attached to the biomaterial to encourage adhesion by preferred cells. Combined use of both peptides in the polymeric biomaterial provides both specific adhesion and selective ingrowth.
