  • Patent number: 7259722
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holder for a mobile radio terminal and an antenna coupler for a mobile radio terminal. The holder is provided with an interface for connection of an external antenna, in particular of a motor vehicle antenna, and with a coupling structure for electromagnetic coupling of RF signals between the holder and the antenna of a mobile radio terminal which is located in the holder. The coupling structure is arranged in the holder in such a way that, when the mobile radio terminal is inserted, the coupling structure is positioned in the vicinity of the mobile radio terminal. The coupling structure is in the form of a two-layer or multilayer coupling structure with two or more coupling structure elements arranged one above the other.

  • Publication number: 20070178754
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle mobile radio holder for mounting a mobile radio terminal in a vehicle, with the vehicle mobile radio holder having a housing with a first housing part which is shaped to hold a mobile radio terminal. The vehicle mobile radio holder also has an electrical interface for connection of an external antenna to the vehicle mobile radio holder, and a coupling antenna which is electrically connected to the interface, for non-contacting electromagnetic coupling of RF signals between the coupling antenna and the antenna of the mobile radio terminal which is inserted into the vehicle mobile radio holder. The vehicle mobile radio holder also has one or more elements for reflection of electromagnetic radiation which has been emitted from the antenna of the mobile radio terminal inserted into the vehicle mobile radio holder and has not been injected into the coupling antenna, and/or has one or more elements for absorption of this electromagnetic radiation.

  • Publication number: 20070031872
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing Parkinson's disease in a human being; nucleic acid molecules used in this method; a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a human Omi/HtrA2 protein which has a genetic modification at amino acid position 141 and/or 399 compared with the wild type, and for corresponding segments thereof; a host, preferably a transgenic non-human mammal, into which such a nucleic acid molecule has been introduced; a (poly)peptide which is encoded by such a nucleic acid molecule; a method for finding substances which bind to Omi/HtrA2 protein which is genetically modified compared with the wild type; a substance found with the aid of this method, and a preferably pharmaceutical composition which comprises such a substance. This invention additionally relates to a kit which comprises at least one of the aforementioned nucleic acid molecules.
