  • Publication number: 20050230130
    Abstract: The present invention is based on a method for operating a guided power tool (10), in particular an electric power tool, with a rotatably and/or percussively driven insert tool (36), whereby the insert tool (36) is driven into a work piece (34) in a work process. It is proposed that at least one measured signal detected at the power tool (10) during the work process is evaluated to derive a property of the work piece (34) located in the working direction of the insert tool (36), and the power tool (10) is operated in accordance with the property. A guided power tool is also proposed.

  • Patent number: 6918728
    Abstract: A snap ring for shafts or bores is proposed, which is able to be axially fixed in position by snapping into place in a circumferential groove. The snap ring is provided with a centering ring which, when the case of the snap ring is installed in the circumferential groove, extends with radial clearance to an annular clip of the snap ring, which is disposed approximately concentrically to the circumferential groove.

  • Publication number: 20050064593
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to novel molecules capable of, inter alia, modulating apoptosis in mammalian cells and to genetic sequences encoding same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, referred to herein as “Bmf”, and to genetic sequences encoding same and to regulatory sequences such as a promoter sequence directing expression of Bmf. Bmf comprises a BH3 domain which facilitates interaction to pro-survival Bcl-2 family members thereby triggering apoptosis. Bmf is regarded, therefore, as a BH3-only molecule. The molecules of the present invention are useful, for example, in therapy, diagnosis, antibody generation and as a screening tool for therapeutic agents capable of modulating physiological cell death or survival and/or modulating cell cycle entry.
