Patent number: 9429261Abstract: A plug connection having two intermateable coupling parts that can be releasably locked via a locking device. The locking device includes a radial retaining bar on each of the coupling parts and a retaining part with a circumferentially closed annular contour. In a preassembled state, the retaining is undetachably assembled on one of the two coupling parts. In an assembled state, the retaining part axially and radially encompasses the retaining bars of both coupling parts. The retaining part includes an elastically moving retaining section having a C-shaped section defined by two collars. The collars have different sizes and/or shapes such that one collar releases an adjacent retaining bar upon the radial elastic outward movement out of the assembled state. The other collar remains engaged behind the retaining bar of the other coupling part.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventors: Jochem-Andreas Hess, Gunter Sieper, Reinhard Plietsch

Publication number: 20150317796Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-invasive method for predicting the responsiveness of a human subject suffering from inflammatory disease to a treatment with a therapy against said inflammatory disease using brain imaging techniques. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an active ingredient for the treatment of human subjects suffering from inflammatory disease and being identified as responders to therapy against the inflammatory disease according to the method of the invention. Preferably, this invention relates to a non-invasive method for predicting the responsiveness of a human subject suffering from rheumatoid arthritis to a treatment with TNF-antagonists comprising at least one step of brain imaging, preferably with an fMRI apparatus.

Publication number: 20150145248Abstract: A connection device for pipe lines includes a connection element that has a receiving opening for a pipe line and a retainer element that stops the pipe line from being pulled out. The retainer element is designed as a spring-elastic toothed ring that has teeth distributed across a circumference and which extend radially inward at an incline and act against the pipe line. The toothed ring is mounted to have limited axial play. At the transition region between an outer circumferential region and the retainer teeth, the toothed ring interacts with a circumferential tilt edge such that the toothed ring can pivot about the tilt edge out of a position in which its outer circumferential region is pressed against a first, lower contact section and a second, upper contact section. The retainer teeth being able to be elastically deformed by bending.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Inventors: Harald Hagen, Adrian Klehr, Jochem-Andreas Hess

Publication number: 20150076812Abstract: A plug-in connection system for fluidic lines, fittings or assemblies, having a housing part and a plug part that can be plugged into a receiving opening of the housing part. A holding element on one of the coupling parts latches with a mating holding element on the other of the coupling parts. The holding element has a spreading surface that, by sliding relative to a corresponding surface of the plug part causes a spreading movement of the holding element, transversely with respect to an axis during installation. In order to improve the plug-in behavior during installation, a spreading contour of the spreading surface engages a mating contour in such a way that, while being plugged in, the spreading travel (Sw) of the holding element changes in a non-linear manner, depending on the status of installation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2013Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventor: Jochem-Andreas Hess

Publication number: 20140167410Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for fluid lines having of a coupling part that can be plugged together with a counter-coupling part along a plug-in axis. A locking device releasably locks the coupling part together with the counter-coupling part. The locking device includes a radially elastically deformable holding element held outside on the coupling part and at least partially encompassing it circumferentially. The holding element interacts with the coupling part, when positioned on the coupling part, via a fixation structure, such that said holding element can optionally be oriented in different relative rotational positions and be fixated in each case to prevent a free, unrestricted rotation about the plug-in axle (X) relative to the coupling part.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventors: Jochem-Andreas Hess, Andreas Suhr, Frank Zenses, Boris Thau, Adrian Klehr

Patent number: 4829382Abstract: R, G and B outputs from the corresponding preamplifiers of a television camera are supplied to a non-additive mixer (NAM) circuit for continuous selection of the greatest of the three outputs and the selected output is continuously supplied to a set of 9 electronic switches each selecting out a subdivision of the picture field (a, b . . . i). The switched outputs for each of the subfields are then provided to respective subfield measurement detectors which each produce an average value output and a peak value output. These are stored into subfield buffer units and then read out through a multiplexer and an analog to digital converter to a microprocessor. The various values are compared with corresponding past values for selecting between various measurement schemes for obtaining a camera diaphragm control signal, namely spot measurement, center-emphasized integral measurement and selective field measurement.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1987Date of Patent: May 9, 1989Assignee: BTS Broadcast Television Systems GmbHInventors: Andreas Hess, Jurgen Klink, Friedrich Zimmermann
