  • Support structure for a motor vehicle having longitudinal members and a crossmember
    Patent number: 7581778
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a support structure that contains longitudinal members and a crossmember. It is important that the crossmember, at a front/rear end, is fixedly connected to tubular crash elements which run in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The tubular crash elements respectively engage in an associated longitudinal member and are fixed therein coaxially with respect to the longitudinal member via at least two supporting points spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2009
    Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG

  • System for actively supporting the flow of body fluids
    Patent number: 6508787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for actively supporting the flow of body fluids, comprising an artificial flow guide system (10) with an operational area into which a pump (1) is embedded in such a way that it can transport blood from at least one inlet opening (3) situated in the guide system to at least one outlet opening (4) situated in the guide system; a flexible feed hose (5) connected to the flow guide system; an energy or force transmission line (6) which is guided through the interior of the flexible feed hose and which, when the device is in the operational state, transmits energy or force substantially continuously to the pump from a drive unit for the extracorporeal generation of this energy or force.
