Patent number: 9175636Abstract: A cylinder head cover having a bearing device that includes at least two bearing blocks for supporting a camshaft, and one connecting element. The bearing blocks are axially penetrated in a first through-opening by the camshaft and are fixed in an aligned position with respect to one another by the connecting element. The bearing blocks, the connecting element and the camshaft form a prefabricated assembly. The cylinder head cover is connected via at least one additional connecting element with the bearing device, whereby a unit consisting of the cylinder head cover and the bearing device are mounted on the cylinder head.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Robert Dunsch, Edwin Hartmann, Michael Kreisig, Stefan Ruppel, Jan Scheffel, Falk Schneider, Markus Walch

Patent number: 8573188Abstract: The invention relates to a cylinder head (1) of an internal combustion engine, comprising at least one hollow camshaft (2) which forms an exhaust for blow-by gases containing oil mist from the crank housing and is also embodied as an oil mist pre fractionator for the preliminary separation of the oil part from these gases. Furthermore, an oil mist post-fractionator (5) is axially arranged on the end of the camshaft (2), in order to carry out an especially effective separation of oil dissolved in the blow-by gases.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2007Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Mirko Braun, Michael Feil, Edwin Hartmann, Stefan Ruppel

Patent number: 7776586Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating progenitor cells from a human body, inclusive of all cells with stem cell-like characteristics, in particular pluripotent or multipotent progenitor cells, wherein such cells are directly or indirectly derived from human mammary secretion, be it colostrum, mature milk, or dry period secretion from males or females, of said human body during at least one of the following periods: non-pregnant period, pregnant period, lactating period, involuting period. The present invention furthermore relates to preferred uses of such isolated cells.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: CARAG AGInventors: Mark Derek Cregan, Peter Edwin Hartmann

Publication number: 20080243060Abstract: A breastpump comprising a breastshield (3) having a portion (31) within which a woman's breast is received for the expression of milk, a source of pressure (10) in communication with said breastshield (3) and means for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) (11) of the woman. The invention enables a stimulation of the mother's breast in order to activate the milk ejection reflex.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2006Publication date: October 2, 2008Applicant: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Peter Edwin Hartmann, Donna Tracy Geddes, Jacqueline Coral Kent, Mark Derek Cregan

Publication number: 20080187619Abstract: The present invention relates to a human milk fortifier as well as to several uses and a method for the production of such a fortifier. A particularly beneficial fortifier can be realised in that at least one human component based on a product directly or indirectly derived from human mammary secretion during non-pregnant, pregnant, lactating and/or involuting periods is used, giving rise to an optimally adapted fortifying effect which is particularly useful in the context of feeding preterm infants.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: Medela Holding AGInventors: Peter Edwin Hartmann, Ching Tat Lai, Jillian Lois Sherriff, Karen Norrie Simmer, Michelle Anne Lewis, Leon Robert Mitoulas, Bronwyn Isabelle Davis

Publication number: 20080118615Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analysing and treating human milk to be fed to an infant comprising the steps of collecting own mother's milk, taking a sample of the collected own mother's milk, conducting nutritional analysis on said sample, using the collected own mother's milk as nutrition for the infant and using the collected own mother's milk in the form of at least one of the group of: unchanged own mother's milk, fortified own mother's milk, unchanged components of own mother's milk and fortified components of own mother's milk, wherein said form is chosen depending on at least some of said results of the analysis and said infant's condition, the infants condition being chosen from at least one of the following parameters: infant's age, infant's weight, infant's health, infant's shortcomings, infant's deficiencies, time of day when the milk is fed to the infant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: Medela Holding AGInventors: Peter Edwin Hartmann, Ching Tat Lai, Jillian Lois Sherriff, Karen Norrie Simmer, Michelle Anne Lewis, Leon Robert Mitoulas, Bronwyn Isabelle Davis

Publication number: 20040122357Abstract: A system for detecting a milk surge in a mother's breast has a breast pump (1) with a breast shield (10) for expressing milk from the breast, a collecting container (2), for receiving the milk expressed, and a unit (3, 4) by means of which a quantity of milk received in the collecting container (2) is determined as a function of time. This system makes it possible to detect the point in time and also the intensity of the milk surge. Application areas are research, in order to gain new knowledge about the breast-feeding behavior of babies and mothers, hospitals and child welfare clinics, in order to resolve breast-feeding problems, and development departments, for the purpose of optimizing breast pumps.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Jacqueline Coral Kent, Leon Robert Mitoulas, Donna Tracy Ramsay, Peter Edwin Hartmann, Mark Derek Cregan
