  • Publication number: 20220064217
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new peptides derived from HD-5 or HNP-4 having antimicrobial activity for use in modulating the microbiome of intestines, the lungs, the skin, the mouth, the eye, the ear, the vagina or other bodily surfaces and/or for use as an antimicrobial agent in a human or other mammals, as well as to medicaments containing these peptides.

  • Patent number: 8798927
    Abstract: A method of aligning a vehicle sensor is provided. The sensor is arranged on a motor vehicle and is swivelable about at least one axis in the direction of an attention angle determined as a function of the actual driving situation. The presence of a traffic route leading into the probable driving route of the motor vehicle is detected, and the attention angle is selected such that the receiving range of the vehicle sensor resulting from the alignment in the direction of the attention angle at least partially contains the traffic route leading into the probable driving route of the motor vehicle.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Ralph Helmar Rasshofer, Dirk Ehmanns
  • Patent number: 7813844
    Abstract: In the case of a system for automatically bringing a motor vehicle into a target position, having a sensor system and an analyzing unit for determining the position of the motor vehicle relative to the target position as well as devices for planning a collision-free drive from the current position to the target position, and devices for implementing the planned drive, a first part of the sensor system is arranged at or in the motor vehicle, and a second part of the sensor system is arranged in a stationary manner in a defined position close to the target position.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Frank Gensler, Dirk Ehmanns
  • Patent number: 7520358
    Abstract: A device for generating a haptic signal in a vehicle is provided, in which a driver's command can be given via a rotary gas handle. A servo unit is formed in such a manner that, as a function of at least one detected operational condition for driving, a theoretical speed of the vehicle can be generated. Based on the theoretical speed of the vehicle, a servo signal for actuation of a servo element of the vehicle is generated, where the servo element is formed such that a restoring force for the rotary gas handle or the torque required for moving the rotary gas handle is adjusted thereby.
