  • Publication number: 20090149412
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the treatment of heart failure through the use of small peptide complexes and recombinant proteins which function to enhance contractility in failing hearts and reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension by inhibiting the interaction between phospholamban and sacroplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) within cardiomyocytes. In addition, a means is provided for the transport of such therapeutic agents into the cytoplasm and nucleus of cardiomyocytes.

  • Patent number: 7500243
    Abstract: Load balancing method and system for balancing a processing load in a network, wherein load balancer upon receiving a client request selects one of a plurality of processing servers for serving the request. The selection of a processing server may be based on a location of a client and a processing server. The load balancer may comprise a load balancing master and a plurality of load balancing slaves, wherein the load balancing slaves receive client requests and transmit a selection request message to the load balancing master. The load balancing master selects a load balancing slave and/or a processing server for serving the request and generates a corresponding instruction message. The client request is served by the selected load balancing slave and the selected processing server by establishing a communication link between the client and the processing server.

  • Publication number: 20090035430
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for continuous production of a number of articles including at least two different types of articles from a pasty mass. The mass is introduced into a processor unit (4) by means of a supply unit (2), processed in the processor unit and transported further thereby, whereupon an adjunct is added by a metering unit (10) to the mass transported through the processor unit (4). The mixing of the adjunct introduced to the mass is carried out by a mixing unit (6) with mixing elements located downstream of the processor unit (4). The mass with provided adjunct is formed by a forming unit (S) into individual articles downstream of the mixing unit. According to the invention, the metering of the adjunct is carried out in a sequence of metering conditions with at least two different metering conditions, wherein the metering unit (10), for a given metering condition, introduces the adjunct to the mass at a given metering rate.

  • Patent number: 7455041
    Abstract: A reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine has a crank drive and a transmission lever indirectly coupled with the piston and intersecting the cylinder axis. The lever is articulated onto the crank drive's connecting rod and onto an adjustable bearing guided in the cylinder block. For greater variation of the translation of movements between crank drive and piston, the pulling and pushing rod connected with the piston has a guide at its end facing the transmission lever. The guide is preferably a pivotally-mounted slide shoe that engages into a guide extending along the transmission lever. The transmission lever is pivotally connected with the crankshaft connecting rod and connected with a setting drive for variably setting the articulation of the pulling and pushing rod on the transmission lever. A guide lever pivotally connected with the pulling and pushing rod and pivotally articulated onto the cylinder block guides the pulling and pushing rod.

  • Publication number: 20080160157
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plant and a method for continuous production of starch-, fat- or protein-based bulk human or animal foodstuffs, or technical intermediates from a starch-, fat- or protein-based water-containing mass. The plant comprise the following sequence of regions along which the mass may be transported: a first region (2, 1, 7a), in which mechanical or thermal energy is introduced, a second region (4; 7b), in which a pressure builds up and a third region (6) to accommodate the discharged mass, whereby a forming unit (5) is arranged between the second region (4; 7b) and the third region (6). According to the invention, the plant comprises an adjustable barrier (3), between the first region (2; 1, 7a) and the second region (4; 7b) restricting the transport of the mass and a measuring device (S) is provided in the third region (6) by means of which a product parameter may be determined.

  • Patent number: 7367298
    Abstract: A variable valve gear for internal combustion engines, having at least one camshaft and pivot lever disposed in the cylinder head, which lever contacts a valve that closes by means of spring force. An intermediate element of a transfer element is mounted in a supporting and displaceable manner, twice on the supporting body and on the pivot lever. The intermediate element engages a supporting surface disposed on the supporting body, first by way of a supporting cam segment disposed on the intermediate element, and second with the controlling cam segment of the supporting body, and third with the pivot lever, by way of an outer contour surface disposed on the intermediate element. The intermediate element indirectly contacts the cam of the camshaft, by way of a roller disposed on an oscillating crank, which is connected with the intermediate element in articulated manner.

  • Publication number: 20080017146
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve train for internal combustion engines, comprising a camshaft and valve actuation elements for one or more valves, the elements being located in the cylinder head. The aim of the invention is to provide a valve train for an internal combustion engine, with which a reliable stroke adjustment of the valves can be made, without the need for complex technical resources, while at the same time allowing a forward or rear displacement of the valve orifice region. To achieve this, in order to modify the valve stroke curve, the contact point between the transfer member and the cam can be displaced along the periphery of the cam and the contact point between the transfer member and a control curve of the support body can be displaced, forcing the part of the transfer member that interacts with the cam to be guided, by shifting the transfer member in relation to the camshaft.
