  • Publication number: 20230312050
    Abstract: A bicycle assembly can have a main frame, a subframe, and a shock absorber. The subframe can move in relation to the main frame, and the shock absorber can be used to regulate that relationship. A linkage can be connected to the shock absorber, the main frame, and a chain stay of the subframe to drive the shock absorber as the subframe is moved with respect to the main frame.

  • Publication number: 20080120733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a eukaryotic cell selectable by inactivation or reduction of an endogenous gene function, comprising the steps of (a) introduction of one or more vectors into the cell and (b) expression of a siRNA and preferably shRNA coded by the one or more vectors, directed against an endogenous selectable gene and inactivating same, said siRNA or shRNA being the transcription product of an RNAi selection cassette, the selection cassette comprising a section of at least 19 nucleotides of the transcribed region of the gene, said selection being operatively linked to a promoter and a transcription termination signal.

  • Patent number: 4482093
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines, provided with a valve needle and an induction coil, which sits in a spacer plate mounted between the nozzle body and the nozzle holder. The valve needle projects into the induction coil and acts upon the magnetic domain of the induction coil by the action of its movement, whereby a signal dependent on the velocity of the needle is produced. The induction coil is provided with laterally disposed contact prongs which are connected with extended connecting wires by means of a weld or solder joint. The connecting wires lead through boreholes in the nozzle holder. The injection nozzle is distinguished by an especially small electrical line resistance, and by the fact that, with appropriate dimensioning and construction of the ends of the connecting wires, which carry the extended connection contacts, there will be no special contact measures necessary for disassembly.
