Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods for obtaining captured polynucleotide fragments. Further provided are methods for obtaining rearranged captured polynucleotide fragments. The present invention also relates to methods for the identification of at least one compound, at least one protein, and/or at least one secondary metabolite having biological activity. Kits for performing the above methods, methods of treatment using the compounds as screened with the methods for identification of at least one compound having biological activity, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for the contactless, inductive transmission of energy from a primary portion a secondary portion includes at least one coil in each portion which are inductively coupled to each other. The primary portion and the secondary portion include at least one magnetic field sensor and are arranged to determine a position of the secondary portion relative to the primary portion using a magnetic field generated by the coils and measured with the aid of the magnetic field sensor.

Abstract: A contact-free electrical connector arrangement is provided for transferring inductive energy from a primary connector component to a secondary connector component, comprising a pair of connector components each including a housing containing a chamber, a ferrite core arranged in the chamber, and a coil arranged in the chamber for cooperation with the core. An input cable supplies electrical energy to the coil contained in the housing of a primary one of said components, and an output cable removes inductively-transferred energy from the coil contained in the housing of a secondary one of said components. According to an operating method of the invention, a parameter is measured at the primary coil for interrupting the energy supply when the secondary component is not present.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake, particularly for commercial vehicles, comprising a hold-down spring (2) for holding down a force transmission device of the disk brake, wherein the hold-down spring comprises a first holding region (4) having a first support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk of the disk brake and having a second support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk. The hold-down spring comprises a second holding region (5) having a third support device for support on a hold-down device in the one circumferential direction of the brake disk and having a fourth support device for support on the hold-down device in the other circumferential direction of the brake disk.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention relate to a vehicle, especially a commercial vehicle, with a braking system for a wheel of the vehicle having an axle arrangement and a brake, especially a disc brake, whereby the cross-section of the axle arrangement has an outer contour differing from a circle, and the brake has a brake carrier. According to one embodiment of the invention, the brake carrier has an opening whose inner contour differs from a circle and the outer contour lies on the axle arrangement such that the brake carrier surrounds the axle of the brake to form a keyed fit with the axle arrangement.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a brake carrier for a disk brake, which comprises a flange facing in parallel to the brake disk plane. The brake carrier comprises a flange facing having at least two sections that are configured on respective shoulders on the side of the brake carrier facing away from the brake disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disc brake, in particular for commercial vehicles, comprising a brake disc (2), a brake caliper (1), a pneumatically acting operating cylinder (3) which has an operating device (8), an applying device (5) which has a rotating lever (7) and a camshaft (6) running parallel to a brake disc plane (6) and at least one brake lining (4). On activating the operating cylinder, the operating device presses the brake lining against the brake disc by means of the rotating lever and the camshaft. According to the invention, a frictional damping device (13, 20) is provided outside the force path of application, which influences the resonant behaviour of the brake.
