Patent number: 11959388Abstract: The invention relates to a turbocharger which contains a bearing device which is arranged between a compressor and a turbine and which is designed to support a shaft. This bearing device has a bearing housing, in which an oil-lubricated bearing for supporting the shaft is arranged. The shaft has a slinger element extending in the circumferential direction for centrifugally dispersing lubricating oil. The bearing housing has an oil drainage channel for discharging the lubricating oil from the bearing housing. The inner region of the bearing housing forms an oil delimitation chamber, which is sealed off by seals arranged between the shaft and the bearing housing. The oil delimitation chamber has a deflection means which is formed in such a way that, during operation of the turbocharger, lubricating oil that is centrifugally dispersed by the slinger element is deflected by the deflection means and is conducted in the opposite direction to the seals.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Turbo Systems Switzerland LtdInventors: Christian Kreienkamp, Florian Maurer

Publication number: 20240092933Abstract: The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins directed against PRAME protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which are specific for the tumor expressed antigen PRAME, wherein the tumor antigen comprises or consists of SEQ ID NO: 50 and is in a complex with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said PRAME peptide. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are for use in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PRAME expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising said nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Gabriele PSZOLLA, Martin HOFMANN, Meike HUTT, Sebastian BUNK, Felix UNVERDORBEN, Frank SCHWOEBEL, Dominik MAURER, Maike JAWORSKI, Claudia WAGNER, Florian SCHWOERER, Heiko SCHUSTER

Patent number: 11920489Abstract: An exhaust turbocharger including a modular bearing designed for bearing a shaft and arranged between a compressor and a turbine is provided herein. The bearing has a bearing housing having a receptacle chamber, wherein a bearing assembly module can be or is installed in the receptacle chamber and can be non-destructively removed. The receptacle chamber is sized such that either a bearing assembly module having a rolling bearing or a bearing assembly module having a slide bearing can be installed. The receptacle chamber has an interface, designed to contact the bearing flange of a bearing assembly module inserted into the receptacle chamber. The interface is designed to connect an oil gallery passing through the bearing housing to one or more oil galleries passing through a bearing flange of the bearing assembly module.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Turbo Systems Switzerland LtdInventors: Florian Maurer, Christian Kreienkamp, Bruno Ammann

Publication number: 20230346642Abstract: A method for producing a container includes identifying a location at a body, with the body at this location having a stress parameter which has a value less than or equal to a threshold value. The identifying includes deriving the threshold value from a simulation result of a simulation based on a finite element method of the stress parameter for a surface area and/or a volume area of the body with or without a marking element present, the identifying also includes obtaining a mean value by the simulation for the stress parameter for at least a part of at least one of the surface area or the volume area of the body. The threshold value is a sum of the mean value and 1000 % or less of an absolute value of the mean value. A marking element is provided which allows identification of the container at the identified location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: SCHOTT Pharma AG & Co.
