Title: Method for controlling the position of a permanent magnetically supported rotating component
Inventor: ARNDT ANDREAS
IPC: H02P6/18
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: Since disruptive forces can be continuously exerted upon a rotor during a pulsatile flow through a pump with a magnetically mounted rotor (permanent magnets and addition control current coils), it is necessary to adjust position i.e modify axial rotor position very quickly. The control current should only result in small amounts of losses. According to the invention, t he current is pulse-width modulated by the control current coils by means of a set value predetermined by a controller which is arranged downstream from a position sensing system. If the set value is high, it is switched to a highe r voltage level and the real value of the position sensing system is stored fo r a defined period of time, respectively beginning with the switching flank of  the control current, and the position sensing system is disconnected during said period of time.

Abstract: We identified a novel protein (Gm1) comprising an amino acid sequence part having a high homology with a domain having a high homology with a GTP binding site and a GTPase site conserved among G protein .alpha. subunits and a trimer forming domain conserved among G protein .alpha. subunits.      The Gm1 is involved in an signal transduction via a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) stimulation. Accordingly, this protein is considered to be a novel G protein. The Gm1 is expressed intensively in human brainy thymus, testes, spleen, small intestine, uterus and heart. We also established a method for screening for a substance capable of regulating a cellular signal transduction employing a polynucleotide encoding the Gm1.
