  • Patent number: 8043353
    Abstract: An insertion system with a self-expanding braided stent (11) for implantation in a blood vessel has an outer sleeve (12) with a distal end (14) and a proximal end. An inner sleeve (16) arranged in the outer sleeve (12) is displaceable relative to the latter and protrudes, with a handling section, from the proximal end of the outer sleeve (12). Moreover, at the distal end (15), there is a tip (18) which is securely connected to a stent support (24) on which the braided stent (11) is arranged in its loaded state. The stent support (24) is arranged to be displaceable relative to the inner sleeve (16).

  • Patent number: 7985250
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for inserting a self-expanding stent into a body vessel. The device comprises a tube, a pushing element and a grip having a housing via which the pushing element is secured on the grip. Further, the device comprises a stent carrier and a moveable element, the latter of which is guided in the housing of the grip and is coupled to the pushing element. Moving the movable element in the proximal direction effects a movement of the pushing element in the distal direction and a movement of the tube in the proximal direction.

  • Patent number: 5445443
    Abstract: An antilock brake system for motorcycles, which ensures that after travel on a curve has been definitely recognized, a modified antilock brake system is activated which adjusts itself dynamically to the degree of tilt reached. The antilock brake system monitors travel on the curve and the degree of tilt with two acceleration sensors and supplements the monitoring circuit by an auxiliary circuit which causes the ABS control, through control signals, to maintain the braking pressure on the front wheel even before the anticipated lockup pressure is reached.

  • Patent number: 5386366
    Abstract: A method for controlling the braking force of motorcycles, which includes storing the vehicle deceleration value which was measured when a lift-off signal occurred as an optimal deceleration limit value and reducing the braking force applied to the front brakes if the motorcycle deceleration approaches or exceeds this limit. A lift-off signal is generated if after a predetermined time from the initiation of a braking cycle, it is determined that the rear wheel has lost adherence to the grounds.

  • Patent number: 5344220
    Abstract: An anti-lock system for motorcycles which includes a monitoring circuit (3) nd an overbraking preventer (4) which compares the front-wheel brake pressure continuously during the reloading phases with a pressure reference threshold and if the threshold is exceeded, with simultaneous exceeding of a high vehicle deceleration threshold, transmits a control signal to the monitoring circuit (3). The control signal results in the pressure modulator (1) only very slowly increasing the front wheel brake pressure.

  • Patent number: 5324102
    Abstract: In a method for regulating the braking force of motorcycles, the wheel circumferential speed is detected by sensors and evaluated by a microprocessor which gives a signal off to a pressure modulator if given limit values of deceleration are exceeded in positive or negative direction (locking signal) and if, within a predetermined period of time, a signal which symbolizes ground adherence of the rear wheel does not occur (lift-off signal), whereupon the pressure modulator reduces the pressure in the front brake circuit.
