  • Publication number: 20240183855
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of stratifying a subject with neurological or psychiatric disease manifestation, preferably with neuro-inflammatory autoimmune diseases a) determining i) a level of B cells in a test cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample obtained from a subject; ii) a level of immune cells per ?l in said test CSF sample obtained from said subject; iii) a level of NKT cells in said test CSF sample obtained from said subject; iv) a level of monocytes in said test CSF sample obtained from said subject, and v) a level of CD56dim CD16+ NK cells in a test peripheral blood (PB) sample obtained from said subject, and b) stratifying said subject as suffering from neuro-inflammatory autoimmune diseases, if the following are fulfilled: i) the level of B cells is increased relative to corresponding levels of B cells in control CSF samples obtained from subjects not suffering from neuro-inflammatory autoimmune diseases; ii) the level of immune cells per ?l is increased relative to corresponding levels

  • Patent number: 10024594
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance includes an interior for receiving foodstuffs which is bounded by walls, a door for closing the interior, a lighting apparatus which is configured to illuminate the interior at least while the door is open and at least one plate-shaped compartment divider which is disposed in the interior and is made of a transparent material. The lighting apparatus has a plurality of light sources which are disposed in a top wall bounding the interior and are oriented in such a way that the interior has substantially uniform illumination above and below the compartment divider because of the emitted light of the light sources.

  • Patent number: 9021680
    Abstract: An apparatus for variable setting of control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine which has a drive element, an output element and a side cover. The drive element is brought into drive connection with a crankshaft, the output element is brought into drive connection with a camshaft, and the output element is arranged such that it can be pivoted with respect to the drive element. The side cover, which has a sealing cover with an opening and a mating element, axially delimits the output element and/or the drive element, and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive or output element by means of a fastening element. The fastening element reaches at least partially through the opening and interacts with the fastening element producing a rotationally fixed connection between the side cover and output element or drive element.

  • Patent number: 8931447
    Abstract: A device (1) for controlling and/or influencing the valve control times of an internal combustion engine, in particular to a camshaft adjustment device, which includes a drive element (2) which is fastened to an attachment part (3) with a screw connection (4), wherein the drive element (2) and/or the attachment part (3) are/is composed of a fiber-reinforced material. In order to obtain a more lightweight design and to be able to reduce screwing forces, the invention provides that at least one of the contact faces (5, 6) between the drive element (2) and the attachment part (3) is at least partially subjected to material-removing processing.
