  • Patent number: 10439475
    Abstract: An electric motor with a stator housing (2) and with an electronics housing (8), has a first section (A) of the electronics housing arranged on the radial side of the stator housing (2), and a fan (24) arranged on a first axial end (22) of the stator housing (2). The electronics housing (8) extends in the axial direction (X) beyond the first axial end (22) of the stator housing in a manner such that a second section (B) of the electronics housing (8), in whose inside at least one first heat-producing electronic component (58, 60) is arranged, is situated on the radial side of the fan (24). A pump assembly with such an electric motor is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150031739
    Abstract: The present invention relates to uses and methods involving Panobinostat and HIV-1. In particular relates the present invention to Panobinostat for use in the treatment of HIV-1 and especially latent HIV-1. This is done using a low dosage of Panobinostat which is highly effective in depleting the HIV-1 reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8777586
    Abstract: The inventive rotational direction indicator for an electric motor having a cooling fan has a baffle element movable between two positions and which can be arranged on an electric motor with a cooling fan in such a way that the baffle element is positioned in an airstream of the cooling fan whose direction depends on the rotational direction of the electric motor. The baffle element is respectively moved into one of its two positions by the electric motor as a function of the direction of the airstream. The rotational direction indicator has a display unit designed to visually indicate the position of the baffle element and can be arranged on an outer side of the electric motor. The rotational direction indicator has a display actuating unit which connects the display unit and baffle element to one another, and transmits the position of the baffle element to the display unit.

  • Patent number: 8557971
    Abstract: The invention relates to chimeric polytropic viral envelope polypeptides and uses thereof, as well as to polynucleotides encoding said chimeric polypeptides and constructs comprising said polypeptides and/or polynucleotides. The invention also relates to chimeric retroviral envelope polypeptides, polynucleotides and vectors encoding said chimeric retroviral envelope polypeptides, virus particles and cells harboring said chimeric envelope polypeptides. Said chimeric polypeptide comprise an envelope polypeptide, or fragment thereof, and a polypeptide sequence of a receptor binding region, ligand or polypeptide sequence of a ligand binding region, and optionally a linker sequence. The invention include methods of targeting receptors, methods of treatment and methods for delivery of agents using said chimeric retroviral envelope polypeptides. The invention is applicable for directed targeting and controlled fusion of virus particles with other cellular membranes.

  • Publication number: 20100232949
    Abstract: An axial face seal (13), which seals a pump housing in the region of the pump shaft (12), is constructed in an axially compact manner. Spring holders (24, 25), which transmit the required pressing force of a compression spring (23), are connected to one another with a positive fit in a rotation direction, and hold a rotating axial face seal ring (19) in a rotationally fixed manner to the pump shaft (12). The spring holders (24, 25) are compact and enclose an abutment ring (33) for pump impellers as well as the compression spring (23). A motor-side spring (24) engages over the rotating axial face seal ring (19), by which an axially extremely short constructional length is achieved.
