  • Patent number: 9404390
    Abstract: A device for installing and removing a component, preferably a burner or a transition pipe of a gas turbine, on or in a stationary gas turbine, is provided. The device includes a rail system having a frame carriage that can be moved along the rail system, on which frame carriage an insertion unit having a carrier unit for the component that can be moved along a movement axis is arranged. In order to specify an especially space-saving and especially rigid design, by means of which components of a gas turbine can be installed and removed relatively simply and quickly, the rail system is designed as a two-track rail system and the movement axis extends between the two rails transversely to an area that extends between the rails.

  • Publication number: 20160067674
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to sorbents for binding proteins from blood plasma comprising a solid carrier material and an oligopeptide immobilized thereon, which selectively binds the protein from the blood plasma, and to a method for separating autologous proteins from blood plasma wherein the blood plasma is brought in contact with a corresponding sorbent, the desired protein is allowed to bind to the sorbent, the sorbent is separated from the plasma and the protein is subsequently separated from the sorbent. Corresponding sorbents and method allows for the selective isolation of specific blood plasma proteins directly from the blood plasma without having to conduct a tedious fractionation. This significantly improves the protein yield and provides a highly effective isolation of blood plasma protein constituents such as IgG, albumin, factor V and factor VIII in a simple, cheap and time-efficient process.

  • Publication number: 20140367977
    Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes an operating handle, a mechanical coupling device, and a locking device attached to a handle mounting. An acceleration force can block an actuation of the closing assembly via the operating handle and/or the coupling device so that an unintended unlatching of the door closure during a vehicle accident is prevented. The locking device has a locking element, which is movably coupled to the mechanical coupling device by a connecting element, such that, a pivotal movement of the mechanical coupling device will rotate the locking element about a rotational axis. The locking element includes at least one locking member which is designed to block the rotational movement of the locking element when a predetermined displacement speed of the operating handle has been exceeded.
