  • Publication number: 20230364061
    Abstract: The present application relates to various uses of thiazolidine derivatives of compounds of Formula II in the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions that are treatable by inhibiting interactions between Cav3.2 T-type calcium channels (Cav3.2) and ubiquitin specific peptidase 5 (USPS). For example, the one or more compounds of Formula II are useful as an analgesic in the treatment of pain. The present application also relates to compounds of Formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and/or prodrugs thereof.

  • Patent number: 7806091
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling system for an internal combustion engine on a vehicle, preferably for an agricultural or industrial commercial vehicle. The cooling system includes a high temperature circuit and a low-temperature circuit. The high temperature circuit cools the internal combustion engine and includes at least a first cooler. The low temperature circuit cools a charge air cooler and, optionally, an oil cooler and includes at least one second cooler. The charge air cooler has at least two parts or stages. In the direction of flow of coolant in the low temperature circuit, the second cooler is connected downstream of a first part of the charge air cooler, the oil cooler and a second part of the charge air cooler. Alternatively or additionally, a further cooling circuit cools the charge air cooler and includes at least one cooler.

  • Patent number: 7322319
    Abstract: A fan assembly for an agricultural tractor includes a rotatable fan mechanically driven by a drive shaft coupled to an internal combustion engine. A fan shroud encloses the outer periphery of the fan and is mechanically connected to the engine. A bearing is mounted on the drive shaft and supports the fan shroud so that the drive shaft is rotatable with respect to the fan shroud. The bearing prevents radial and axial movement of the fan shroud relative to the drive shaft. A fan housing is connected to a radiator which is connected to the engine. The fan housing is coupled to an end of the fan shroud by a friction coupler which prevents rotation of the fan shroud.

  • Patent number: 7047913
    Abstract: A cooling system is provided for a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The cooling system includes a high temperature cooling circuit and a low temperature cooling circuit that is separated from the high temperature cooling circuit. The high temperature cooling circuit cools the engine and includes at least one cooler. The low temperature cooling circuit cools an oil cooler and, if necessary, a charge air cooler and includes a cooler. The oil cooler may be connected with the high temperature cooling circuit so the oil temperature may be controlled within a narrow temperature range.
