Patent number: 9574381Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Huf Huelsbeck & Fuerst GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Beck, Dirk Muller, Christian Bresser

Publication number: 20160067674Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2014Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventors: Stephan T.
