  • Patent number: 11739798
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a claw coupling for interlockingly connecting a first rotatable component to a second rotatable component, wherein a sliding sleeve is non-rotatably and axially slidably arranged on the first rotatable component and a coupling body is non-rotatably arranged on the second rotatable component, the sliding sleeve being axially movable for interlocking connection to the coupling body in order to connect the first component to the second component, at least one spring-loaded shifting ring being movably mounted, non-rotatably and axially relative to the sliding sleeve, on the sliding sleeve, and a damping chamber, formed in dependence on the relative motion, is provided in order to delay the axial motion. The disclosure further relates to an electrical drive axle of a vehicle having at least the claw coupling. In addition, the disclosure relates to a method for interlockingly connecting the first rotatable component to the second rotatable component via a claw coupling.

  • Publication number: 20220201948
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for clearing stumps, which uses a slow cutting element (3), which cutting element is guided by great force, however, in order to coarsely machine a root, but can be operated by a single person. According to the invention, this made possible by two suitable cutting elements (3) being guided against each other or a suitable cutting element is guided against a suitable retaining element, such that the applied forces approximately cancel each other out. The cutting elements (3) are located at a front end of two plier jaws (1), which are guided against each other by a drive element.

  • Publication number: 20210190797
    Abstract: A method diagnoses a SARS-CoV-2 infection and includes detecting the presence or absence of an antibody to SEQ ID NO: 1, preferably IgA class antibody, in a sample from a subject. A method differentially diagnoses a coronavirus infection. An antibody to SEQ ID NO: 1, preferably IgA class antibody, is used for diagnosing a SARS-CoV-2 infection or for the differential diagnosis of a coronavirus infection, preferably for distinguishing between a SARS-CoV-2, MERS and NL63, 229E, OC43 and HKU1 infection. A kit includes a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 or a variant thereof, preferably coated to a diagnostically useful carrier and one or more of the following reagents: an antibody to SEQ ID NO: 1, a washing buffer, a means for detecting the presence of an antibody, preferably IgA class antibody, preferably a secondary antibody binding specifically to IgA class antibodies, preferably comprising a detectable label, and a dilution buffer.

  • Patent number: 8273221
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for improved utilization of a sputter target in the longitudinal end regions. The focus of erosion in the end regions is widened, thereby extending the useful life of the target. This provides improved efficiency and reduces waste because a greater proportion of the target material in the more expansive central region can be harvested, because the target is utilized for a longer period of time.
