Abstract: An electric power assisted steering system comprises a motor connected to a portion of a steering mechanism through a worm carried by a worm shaft and a wheel carried by an output shaft operatively coupled to the steering mechanism. The shaft is supported in at least one bearing which has some internal clearances and supports the worm shaft in such a manner that it is free to pivot through an angle in planes which include its own axis due to a degree of axial free play of the first bearing assembly. The bearing assembly comprises an inner race having a groove, an outer race having a groove, and a plurality of ball bearings located between the inner and outer races, and in which the outer race groove is not round when in its position of use such that the ball bearings permit a greater freedom of movement of the inner race relative to the outer race in a first radial direction than in a second radial direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. Tensile or compressive forces may be applied to the bearing assembly to cause the part of the assembly to become not round.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for inducing tumor apoptosis by influencing the ROS (reactive oxygen species) signaling pathway in tumor cells. Increasing the level of ROS leads to the selective inactivation of a tumor cell catalase and subsequently to an apoptosis of these cells. The level of ROS can be increased by increasing the level of nitric oxide through inhibition of the enzymes nitric oxide dioxygenase or arginase.  According to the present invention inhibitors of the nitric oxide dioxygenase or arginase can be used for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of cancer. The present invention further provides a method for identifying compounds which can be used for the treatment of cancer, wherein the method allows to specifically identify compounds which induce apoptosis through the ROS signaling pathway. The present invention also provides a kit for identifying compounds which induce tumor apoptosis by inactivating a catalase on the tumor cell surface.

Abstract: A hydraulic servo steering system (10) for vehicles has a steering valve (24) for directing fluid to steering cylinders (16, 17) in response to pilot fluid directed to one end of the steering valve (24) from a hand metering unit (31). A servo cylinder (19) directs a volume of fluid to the other end of the steering valve (24) sufficient for returning the steering valve (24) to its centered position in response to turning of the vehicle. A pair of pilot operated check valves (53, 54) positioned in the lines (51 52) between the servo cylinder (19) and the steering valve (24) are opened in response to fluid pressure being established in the lines (51, 52) by a means (71). Should one of the lines (51, 52) rupture, the resultant drop in fluid pressure in the lines (51, 52) causes the check valves (53, 54) to close thereby isolating the steering valve (24) from the ruptured lines (51, 52). Thereafter the steering valve (24) can be operated in a "jerk steer" manner for emergency steering of the vehicle.
