  • Patent number: 8188628
    Abstract: In order to connect an angle measuring device to a brushless direct-current motor, a coupling is used, the coupling halves (10, 28) of which are each attached to the rotor (46) of the motor and/or the rotor (42) of the angle measuring device. Instead of using a coupling that is rotationally symmetrical at arbitrary angular positions as in the prior art, a coupling is used in which the coupling halves (10, 28) can be connected to one another only in a finite number of relative angular positions. An adjustment must be made before the coupling halves (10, 28) are attached to the respective rotors (46, 52). This allows all subsequent adjustment to be omitted, for example, even for maintenance work.

  • Patent number: 8120219
    Abstract: The production costs of electrical machines are to be reduced. To this end, it should be possible to use standard transmitters for different axis heights of the electrical machine. The invention therefore provides a transmitter cover for an electrical machine, having a pot-like hood (11) for mounting on the electrical machine and for covering a transmitter, wherein the hood (11) has a central axis. The transmitter cover also has a mounting ring (10) which engages on the hood (11) in an interlocking manner. As a result, the hood (11) is pressed against the electrical machine in the axial direction when the mounting ring (10) is fixed to the electrical machine. This can prevent fastening screws (13) colliding with other fastening screws on the motor, this possibly being the case when only the hood (11) is used to cover the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20110117096
    Abstract: Tumors are identified as responsive to treatment with anti-HER2 antibodies by detecting the presence of a HER2/HER3 and/or HER2/HER1 protein complex or for HER2 phosphorylation in a sample of tumor cells. Patients suffering from a tumor comprising HER/2/HER1 and/or HER2/HER3 heterodimers and/or HER2 phosphorylation are treated with anti-HER2 antibodies, such as rhuMAb 2C4.

  • Publication number: 20100066191
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor (10) for an electric motor, wherein at least two permanent magnets (18 and 18?) are arranged behind each other in the axial direction (with respect to an axis of rotation (16) of the rotor (10)), instead of a single continuous permanent magnet. Said permanent magnets are separated from each other by an electrically non-conductive separator (20). Thus eddy current losses are reduced and heating of the permanent magnets, caused by the eddy current losses, is greatly prevented. The separator (20) contributes also to increased positioning accuracy of the permanent magnets.

  • Patent number: 6478373
    Abstract: A seat back for an automotive seat with an integrated protective device and a process for preventing injuries to a seat occupant caused by an accident in the event of a rear-end impact. The seat back features a bottom seat-back part and a top seat-back part that, by means of a torque, pivots around an axis in the seat back that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, out of a position of standard use and into a safety position. To improve the efficiency of such a seat back, it is proposed that the protective device features a device that generates the torque regardless whether the automotive seat is occupied, and means for detecting a rear-end impact, which are actively linked with the torque-generating device in such a way that the device is activated in the event of a rear-end impact and the swinging movement is started.
