Abstract: In some embodiments, a mass spectrometry tag may comprise a linker region, a mass balance region, and a reporter region. The mass spectrometry tag may be configured to fragment in a mass spectrometer via an energy dependent process to produce multiple reporter molecules. For example, the reporter region of the tag may be configured to produce at least two reporter molecules via fragmentation. In some embodiments, one or more regions of the tag may comprise at least one heavy isotope. In some such embodiments, the ability to fragment into multiple reporter molecules as well as the placement and/or number of heavy isotope(s) allows the mass spectrometry tag to be distinguished from other similar mass spectrometry tags. In some such embodiments, the ability to distinguish between tags having the same or substantially similar total mass to charge ratio and reporter region mass may allow the system to have a greater multiplexing capacity than conventional systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gearing mechanism (1) that serves particularly as a worm gear for assemblies for outside force activated adjustment of elements of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing component (9) and a shaft (2) mounted in the housing component (9). The shaft (2) is driven rotating relative to the housing component (9) with regard to a rotation axis (8) in a first rotation direction (11) and in a second rotation direction (12) opposite the first rotation direction (11). There is also a wrap element (15) that wraps the shaft (2) multiple times. The wrap element (15) is designed as a spring-elastic wrap element (15). A first end (19) of the wrap element (15) is fastened in a stationary manner to the housing component (9). This can achieve a self-locking of the shaft (2) dependent on the rotation direction.

Abstract: An optical transducer device including an optical transducer element having preliminary and fine-adjustment openings, a printed circuit board, a motor shaft, a hub mounted to the motor shaft, and a sensor/emitter element that forms a sensor gap. The optical transducer element is positioned by, pre-positioning the shaft in the preliminary opening of the optical transducer element such that the peripheral edge is located outside the sensor gap, and laterally sliding the optical transducer element so that the motor shaft is positioned in the fine-adjustment opening of the optical transducer element such that the peripheral edge at least partially reaches into the sensor gap. The optical transducer element is then pressed onto the hub. Prior to positioning the optical transducer device, the circuit board is soldered to the device components, thereby protecting the optical transducer element from the negative effect of heat and solder residue.

Abstract: An armature for a direct current motor, in particular for a permanent-magnet-excited DC motor, has an armature body, with armature teeth joined in one piece together via a short-circuit ring and offset by equal circumferential angles, each with a tooth neck for receiving an armature winding and with a tooth head that protrudes past the tooth neck in the circumferential direction. For an axial lengthening of the armature body that is simple and economical to produce, one preferably stacked flux-conducting element each, whose profile corresponds to the tooth head profile, is placed on the axially pointing end faces of the tooth heads.

Abstract: A needle bearing for use in a pump has an inner race, embodied as an eccentric sleeve, needles, and an outer race with rims oriented radially inward on both of its face ends, of which one rim is intended to secure the axial position of the needles and the outer race by engagement with the inner race, in that a rim fits over one end face of the inner race. In the pump unit, the needle bearing is disposed with an axial gap from a roller bearing on a shaft of a drive motor. The rim of the outer race engages this gap.
