Patent number: 7040466Abstract: The invention relates to a brake disc for a disc brake, in particular in motor vehicles. Said brake disc comprises a friction ring (12) and a pot-shaped supporting part (14), the friction ring consisting of several ring segments (18), which adjoin one another in a circumferential direction. To provide a construction that can be commercially produced in a cost-effective manner and that is not prone to warping, the ring segments are provided with semi-circular recesses (18a), which encompass retaining bolts (16) that extend radially. The retaining bolts are fixed in circumferential sections of the supporting part and support the ring segments by means of a positive fit in a centrifugal direction. The retaining bolts are preferably configured in a tubular manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Audi AGInventors: Christoph Saame, Johann Bauer, Kamjar Yazdirad

Patent number: 6870450Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic switching device, in particular a contactor, comprising a switching device housing (2) and a plug-in module which can be inserted into the latter and which contains a coil form (12) for a coil. A tripping element (60) is mounted on a housing section (40) of the plug-in module (4). Said element is designed to mechanically actuate the contact unit (30) of an electric switch (24) for producing an economy connection. The switch (24) is mounted on a support structure (printed-circuit board (22)) that is located in the plug-in module (4), with a supporting contour (70) of said switch adjoining a bearing contour (72) of the housing section (40).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2001Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Johann Bauer, Stephan Faber, Bardo Koppmann, Manuela Lüftl, Markus Meier

Publication number: 20040248141Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for generating novel nucleic acid molecules through targeted spliceosomal mediated RNA trans-splicing. The compositions of the invention include pre-trans-splicing molecules (PTMs) designed to interact with a target precursor messenger RNA molecule (target pre-mRNA) and mediate a trans-splicing reaction resulting in the generation of a novel chimeric RNA molecule (chimeric RNA). In particular, the PTMs of the present invention can be genetically engineered to interact with a specific target pre-mRNA expressed in cells of the skin so as to result in correction of genetic defects responsible for a variety of different skin disorders to encode a reporter molecule or protein that may have therapeutic benefit. The compositions of the invention further include recombinant vectors systems capable of expressing the PTMs of the invention and cells expressing said PTMs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2003Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: Lloyd G.

Patent number: 4978359Abstract: For anchoring a prosthesis within a bone by means of a bone cement (32), prothesis shaft has a surface which is formed by the surfaces of a plurality of spheres (23 . . . 25) partially penetrating each other and having radii which decrease from the proximal towards the distal shaft end. The transitional zones between adjacent spheres (23 . . . 25) are concavely rounded. This shape is especially suited for use with a glass ionomer-type bone cement, because the shaft exerts substantially only compressive forces on the cement, whereas tensile and notch stresses, with respect to which this kind of cement exhibits little resistance, are largely avoided.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1989Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: Thera Patent GmbH & Co. KG Gesellschaft fur industrielle SchutzrechteInventors: Klaus Wilhelm, Johann Bauer, Werner Schmitt, Wolf-Dietrich Herold, Peter Koran, Erich Wanek, Oswald Gasser

Patent number: 4471183Abstract: A switchgear apparatus having three switching gaps with contacts arranged thereacross for connecting three-phase electrical power to a consumer. Apparatus is described whereby a selected one of the switching gaps closes earlier than the other switching gaps during a closing cycle of the switchgear, and opens later than the other switching gaps during an opening cycle of the switchgear. The contacts across the early closing and late opening gap experience only minimal contact burnoff, thereby permitting a substantially reduced volume of contact overlay material to be provided therefor. In addition, less expensive contact material may be utilized for this contact.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1982Date of Patent: September 11, 1984Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Johann Bauer, Joachim Hannich, Werner Harbauer

Patent number: 4453057Abstract: A contact arrangement for electric switchgear is disclosed. The contact arrangement comprises a bifurcated offset contact bridge having two contact bridge parts, each of which is inserted into an opening in an actuating contact bridge carrier. Each contact bridge part rests on a first supporting surface of the opening. A spring retainer rests against the contact bridge and a compression spring is mounted between a second surface of the opening and the spring retainer. The spring retainer is guided in the contact bridge carrier against movement transverse to the direction of motion of the carrier. Each end of each contact bridge part is provided with a semicircular contact pad which, when the contact bridge parts are placed adjacent each other, form a bifurcated circular contact pad which engages with corresponding stationary contacts.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1982Date of Patent: June 5, 1984Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Georg Streich, Werner Harbauer, Johann Bauer
