  • Publication number: 20250055384
    Abstract: A half-bridge switch arrangement has a plurality of parallel-connected half-bridges, each half-bridge having a first semiconductor switching element and a second semiconductor switching element, has a first busbar, to which a first terminal of each of the first semiconductor switching elements is electrically connected, a second busbar, to which a second terminal of each of the first semiconductor switching elements and a first terminal of each of the second semiconductor switching elements are electrically connected, and has a third busbar, to which a second terminal of each of the second semiconductor switching elements is electrically connected. The first and second busbars are toothed and the semiconductor switching elements are arranged on the teeth, the teeth being arranged alternately. The third busbar is arranged above the semiconductor switching elements, and a heat sink is arranged below the first and second busbars.

  • Patent number: 12104690
    Abstract: An example transmission comprising a lubricant feed passageway to receive lubricant; an input shaft having a cavity that defines a shaft collection trough to receive the lubricant from the lubricant feed passageway, the input shaft defining a radial passageway to enable the lubricant to flow from the shaft collection trough to an exterior surface of the input shaft; and a carrier to receive at least a portion of the input shaft, the carrier defining a carrier collection trough and channels formed in the carrier to distribute the lubricant to at least one of rotating components or non-rotating components in the carrier, the carrier collection trough to receive the lubricant from the shaft collection trough via the radial passageway in response to the input shaft rotating.

  • Patent number: 11325967
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of inhibiting or preventing photophobia in subjects in need thereof using anti-CGRP antibodies or antibody fragments that inhibit photophobia, especially CGRP-associated photophobia. These antibodies and fragments are useful in treating different disorders associated with photophobia such as migraine, cluster headaches and the like. The present invention also provides assays using transgenic Nestin/Ramp1 rodents, utilizing a CGRP model light aversive behavior model for identifying therapeutically effective anti-CGRP antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP which inhibit or prevent photophobia in subjects in need thereof. The present invention is specifically directed to methods for identifying therapeutically effective antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP that may be used to treat CGRP associated disorders such as migraine.

  • Patent number: 11027018
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for treating diarrhea, both chronic or acute forms, by the administration of a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for CGRP. In particular the methods prevent or reduce diarrhea in conditions or treatments resulting in elevated CGRP levels, e.g., in the GI tract (colon) that are associated with diarrhea and/or improper electrolyte and fluid excretion from the bowel or urinary system. More specifically, this invention relates to treatments using the anti-CGRP antibodies and fragments described herein, and binding fragments thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150262182
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may identify a contextual event triggering an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with a first user based on the contextual event, and determine a second account based on the contextual event and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may detect an action of a first user that triggers an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with the first user based on the detected action, and determine a second account based on the detected action and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.
