Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing virus-like particles on the basis of polyoma viruses. The invention can be used in medical fields such as gene therapy, vaccine development and diagnosis as well as in veterinary medicine. The aim of the invention is to develop a method for producing virus-like particles for gene therapy, diagnosis and vaccine development. This method should enable a highly efficient production of non-infectious, endotoxin-free virus-like particles which are suitable for humane applications. The inventive method relates to the application of a yeast high-expression system which permits the production of large quantities of virus-like particles on the basis of the main capsid protein VP1 of polyoma viruses. By extracting said particles from yeast cells, these virus-like particles are endotoxin-free and suitable for humane applications.

Abstract: A friction brake system (62) in a vehicle has a spring apply force (F1), a
pressure release force (P1A) and a solenoid release force (F2). The solenoid release force
is determined by the electrical dynamic brake capacity available at the vehicle
powertrain. Under full braking conditions, when the electric dynamic brake
absorption capacity is high, the solenoid release force is high and vice versa.
The overall brake force requested is established by an operator input signal.
The amount of dynamic braking, the amount of pressure release force and the
amount of spring apply force are determined by the requested braking effort
from the operator and the amount of dynamic braking that can be absorbed in
an energy storage unit (48) associated with the powertrain.

Abstract: The method involves forming an internal communication channel between connected subscribers by using a phantom circuit, which is kept short circuit free by impedance matching. Distance dependent propagation time differences of signals, sent by single subscribers via bus to a central supply unit (NTBA), is determined by accessing the phantom circuit. Transmission time points are adjusted using existing controllers on the subscriber side, so that a frame delay is prevented at the input of the central supply unit, and the transmitted signals are provided in a synchronous raster. Preferably, the transmitted communication signals, or communication bits, are allocated on the basis on predetermined propagation time differences in the phantom circuit.

Abstract: A method of detecting the pinching of an object of
a power window apparatus which stops the detection of the
pinching when a normal pulse edge interval of a two-phase
pulse is not obtained is disclosed. The apparatus comprises
a motor 4 for opening/closing a window, a motor driving unit
3, a pulse generating unit 5 for generating a two-phase pulse,
an MCU 2, and a switching arrangement 1. The MCU 2 detects
a motor torque from an interval between pulse edges of the
two-phase pulse at the time of opening and closing the window
and compares the motor torque with a preset addition value.
When the motor torque exceeds the addition value, the MCU
2 determines the occurrence of the pinching of an object
and stops or reverses the driving of the motor 4. A timer
14 for newly setting time each time the pulse edge in the
two-phase pulse arrives is disposed in the MCU 2. When a
pulse edge in the two-phase pulse arrives and the next pulse
edge does not arrive within the set time of the timer 14,
the MCU 2 stops the determination of the presence or absence
of the pinching of an object in the window.

Abstract: An improved package for securing a chemiluminescent
lighting device (10) in a storage condition consists of a
heat-shrinkable opaque jacket (42) which protects the
chemiluminescent chemicals from degradation by light while
simultaneously providing rigidity to the device by use of a
PVC film or the like thermo-wrap-plastic capable of blocking
light and adhering to the outer shape of the chemiluminescent
lighting device (10). Due to the extremely tight fit of the
material (42) around the lighting device coupled with the
presence of a score line (44) included in the wrap material
(42), a fracture zone is created such that any impact or
flexing sufficient to cause admixture of the chemiluminescent
components will, in turn, cause the wrapping material (42) to
break at the score line (44) and be instantaneously shed.
This feature allows the user to readily activate and unwrap
the material (42) in one quick and easy motion while acting
as an indicator that the lighting device (10) has been
activated.
