Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating device (1) for a motor, comprising a housing (2) which can be associated with said motor and in which a control unit (5) and an actuator (6) are arranged. Due to heat-related reasons, said device can only be used in an encapsulated manner, for example close to a motor. In order to solve this problem, the actuator (6) comprises an electromagnetic switching element (8a,8b) and the control signal (7) for the same is designed as a timing signal which is measured—taking into consideration at least one heat source inside or optionally outside the housing (2)—in such a way that the operating temperature of the electromagnetic switching element (8a,8b) is below an upper authorised limiting value.

Abstract: The motor of an automotive cooling fan system is attached to a housing by either bayonet mount, screw mount, or axial-snap features on both motor and housing, as well as a cradle structure on the housing.

Abstract: The invention is based on a method for producing a common carrying part (3) for an electrical drive, whereby a bottom region (2) is formed on the common carrying part (3) that can be produced having various axial lengths and diameters,

Abstract: The invention is based on a cooling fan (10) with a frame (12), having a baffle apparatus (14) with an electric motor (16) fastened to it which drives a fan propeller (18). The invention proposes that a control unit (20) for the electric motor (16) be integrated into the frame (12).

Abstract: This invention relates to humanized antibodies and antibody preparations produced from transgenic non-human animals. The non-human animals are genetically engineered to contain one or more humanized immunoglobulin loci which are capable of undergoing gene rearrangement and gene conversion in the transgenic non-human animals to produce diversified humanized immunoglobulins. The present invention further relates to novel sequences, recombination vectors and transgenic vectors useful for making these transgenic animals. The humanized antibodies of the present invention have minimal immunogenicity to humans and are appropriate for use in the therapeutic treatment of human subjects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tension-relief component for electrical leads (14)—particularly of an electric motor—provided with an insulation, having a capacitor (12) for suppression of electromagnetic interference, wherein a contact element (48) is provided that is in electrical contact with the capacitor (12), wherein a contacting of at least one lead (14) takes place in that the contact element (48) penetrates the insulation of the lead (14). The contacting of the lead (14) takes place preferably by means of a mandrel (48). The tension-relief component (10) comprises a retaining clip (26), by means of which the capacitor (12) is secured in the tension-relief component (10), while the mandrel (48) is inserted in the tension-relief component (10).

Abstract: Substantially human antisera are provided by genetically modifying a domestic animal generally weighing at least about 1 kg. The domestic animal is genetically modified by generating inactive heavy and light chain immunoglobulin loci and integrating at least functional portions of the human heavy and light chain immunoglobulin loci, whereby the human loci generate an immune response. The antisera find use in the treatment of diseases, immunocompromised patients and in case of transplantation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the evisceration of carcasses conveyed on a slaughter line suspended in gambrels or hooks, where the abdomen and breast have been cut open, the hams divided and the fat end loosened, and wherein the carcass intestines are loosened, removed and placed on a gut pan or conveyor, the diaphragm is loosened and the plucks are removed and placed on a plucks conveyor. In loosening of the intestines, the connections of the intestines with the spinal column are broken, so that the intestines are made to hang out of the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm and leaf fat are loosened mechanically while the intestines are hanging out of the carcass and are connected to the plucks. The latter loosening is effected by a pressing device (5) and a hoop device (6) which can be moved independent of each other in the lengthways direction of the carcass.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided which is capable of sending and receiving electronic messages directly from the user interface of the ultrasound system. This capability permits physicians to send messages, reminders, and diagnostic examination instructions directly to ultrasonographers using the system. The system operator is also able to call a physician to an ultrasound exam by means of an electronic message. Electronic messages can also be used to send and receive diagnostic reports and images, to retrieve diagnostic information such as the system presets for a particular type of ultrasonic examination, and to send and receive information from a hospital information system.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing at least one contact in a contact housing, consists of a contact-securing plate which is arranged such that it can be displaced perpendicularly with respect to the plug-in direction and interacts with carry-along elements of an attachment aid, which is displaced from a first position into a second position by virtue of the rotary movement of a lever arm and, as a result, the contact-securing plate is displaced from a first unlatched position into a second latched position, and secures the contacts, even when the attachment aid is displaced from the second position back into the first position.

Abstract: A medical diagnostic ultrasound system is described in which ultrasonic B mode tissue information and Doppler flow information is acquired from a volumetric region of the body and processed in an interleaved sequence to render a three dimensional image. The three dimensional rendering processes the B mode and Doppler flow information to give priority to tissue information, flow information, or a blend of the two.

Abstract: An ultrasonic imaging system is provided which produces signals representative of tissue motion through amplitude detection of echo signals from which stationary clutter has been removed. Tissue motion may be distinguished from noise and flow signals on the basis of the dynamic range of the detected signals. The tissue motion signals may be displayed in combination with B mode signals to augment images of moving tissue, or in a two dimensional image in combination with B mode and Doppler image information. A sequence of gated tissue motion images of the heart may be displayed with each image of a different phase of the heart cycle displayed in a different color. The sequence may be played in a real time sequence, or the images accumulated in a common static image which overlay and hence mask one another, thereby revealing subtle differences in motion from one phase of the heart cycle to another.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided which utilizes a multivariate processor to discriminate between Doppler power signals which were produced by moving tissue, and Doppler power signals which were produced by fluid flow. Discriminated moving tissue Doppler power signals are displayed in a three dimensional spatial presentation.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided with a scanning guide which assists a user in conducting three dimensional ultrasonic scanning of a patient. The guide is visual or audible or both, and gives the physician a real time indicator by which to gauge the rate and duration of three dimensional ultrasonic scanning. In a constructed embodiment the scanning guide is modulated by a counter coupled to cine memory, in which image frames are stored for three dimensional processing. As the cine memory fills toward capacity with ultrasonic image frames, the scanning guide is modulated in correspondence with the filling of the memory. A visual indicator of the ultrasonic frame sequence in memory is also provided, on which the user can move markers to eliminate frames at the beginning or end of the sequence from the three dimensional reconstruction.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic system and scanning technique are described for producing three dimensional ultrasonic image displays utilizing power Doppler signal information. In a preferred embodiment the power Doppler signal information is displayed in the absence of structural (B mode) information to reduce image clutter and provide three dimensional image segmentation. An ultrasonic scanning technique is presented for acquiring diagnostic three dimensional ultrasonic images of power Doppler intensity through manual hand scanning of a patient, without the need for specially fabricated scanning mechanisms or devices.
