  • Publication number: 20230141964
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for multi-layer caching of data. An example method commences with creating a data structure on top of an information retrieval library. The data structure is designed to access data associated with the information retrieval library through a local index. The method includes creating a plurality of ordered cache layers for the data accessed via the local index. The plurality of ordered cache layers are ordered based on frequency of access and a last layer is used to access the data over a network. The method then continues with receiving a search query. The method further includes determining that the search query is for the data associated with the last layer. The method further continues with executing, using the local index, the search query locally to retrieve a matching document from the data associated with the last layer remotely.

  • Publication number: 20210198346
    Abstract: An antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof binds to an antigen of the bacterium Candidatus savagella and inhibits the adhesion of the bacterium to intestinal epithelial cells; and/or depletes the bacterium. A drug has the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. A kit has the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof for reduction of Th17 cell proliferation, Th17 cell differentiation or Th17 cell activity and/or inhibition of the formation of antibodies against endogenous antigens by B cells. The kit can contain an antibiotic. A method for producing the antibody involves immunizing chickens with an immunogenic peptide from an antigen of the bacterium Candidatus savagella, and recovering and purifying the antibodies formed in the chickens or in an egg laid by said chickens. A method for producing the drug involves producing the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, and formulating the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof as a drug.

  • Patent number: 8826873
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor (1, 71) for a camshaft adjuster, comprising a substantially annular rotor basic body (3, 73) which has an end surface (11, 91) with a contour (15, 89) which extends in an axial direction, wherein the contour (15, 89) has an asymmetry such that precisely one position is predefined for the axial attachment of the rotor basic body (3, 73) to a camshaft (31, 112). A rotor (1, 71) with a contour (15, 89) of this type makes centering on a camshaft (31, 112) possible in a manner which is cost-neutral and can be easily implemented in terms of manufacturing technology. Furthermore, the invention relates to a camshaft adjusting system (111) with an above-mentioned rotor (1, 71).

  • Patent number: 8635978
    Abstract: A rotor (1, 21, 41) for a camshaft adjuster (61), having a rotor base body (3, 23, 43) and a number of rotor blades (5, 25, 45) extending radially outwards and located on the rotor base body (3, 23, 43), each of the blades having a blade end (7, 27, 47). To reduce leakage, the blade ends (7, 27, 47) of the rotor blades (5, 25, 45) take the form of sealing fins (9, 31, 49) that can be deformed radially outwards. A rotor (1, 21, 41) of this type affords the possibility of reducing leakage in a camshaft adjuster (61) using simple engineering and without added costs. The invention also relates to a camshaft adjuster (61) for an internal combustion engine, including a rotor (1, 21, 41) of this type.

  • Publication number: 20130180484
    Abstract: A camshaft adjuster (31) for an internal combustion engine, including a drive pinion (33) that can be connected rotationally fast to a crankshaft, a driven pinion (1) with an inner gearing (5) and arranged for rotation relative to the drive pinion (33) about an axis of rotation (37) as well as an adapter (13) that is arranged on an inner circumference (3) of the driven pinion (1) and through which the driven pinion (1) can be connected rotationally fast to a camshaft. For this purpose, the adapter (13) is fixed via the inner gearing (5) on the inner circumference (3) of the driven pinion (1). A fixing of this type enables manufacturing of a camshaft adjuster (31) with the lowest possible complexity of fabrication and correspondingly low costs.
