  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRONICALLY SLIP-CONTROLLABLE POWER-BRAKE SYSTEM WITH REDUNDANT GENERATION OF BRAKE PRESSURE
    Publication number: 20240083401
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically slip-controllable power-brake system with redundant generation of brake pressure. Under certain operating conditions, a shift in the pressure-volume characteristic curve towards higher pressures may arise in such power-brake systems. If the actual progression of the pressure-volume characteristic curve deviates from the target progression to an extent which can no longer be tolerated, a correction is required. To this end, a pressure-medium volume must be released from the brake circuit into a reservoir of the power-brake system. A method with which the release of pressure medium into the reservoir may be carried out in a controlled manner. The method can be carried out during a braking procedure without undesired noises or unexpected changes in the deceleration arising. It can be implemented by control technology and therefore in a particularly cost-effective manner.

  • Production of biologically active, recombinant members of the NGF/BDNF family of neurotrophic proteins
    Patent number: 5235043
    Abstract: This invention describes processes for producing mature human members of the NGF/BDNF family of neurotrophic proteins that are fully biologically active. In addition, the gene encoding human BDNF and processes for obtaining the same are disclosed.A previously-unreported member of the NGF/BDNF family of neurotrophic proteins, NGF-3, has been identified and a portion of the gene encoding for the NGF-3 has been described. Processes for identifying additional previously unreported members of the NGF/BDNF family are also described.
