  • Publication number: 20090062203
    Abstract: A method for therapeutically treating an animal, including a human, for psychosomatic, depressive and neuropsychiatric diseases, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, schizophrenia, epilepsy, spasm and chronic pain. Administration of a suitable DP IV inhibitor causes the reduction of activity in the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase (DP IV or CD 26) or of DP IV-like enzyme activity in the brain of mammals and leads as a causal consequence to a reduced degradation of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) and similar substrates by DP IV and DP IV-like enzymes. Such treatment will result in a reduction or delay in the decrease of the concentration of functionally active neuronal NPY (1-36). As a consequence of the resulting enhanced stability of the endogenous NPY (1-36) caused by the inhibition of DP IV activity, NPY activity is prolonged thereby resulting among other things in functionally active NPY Y1 receptor activity thereby facilitating antidepressive, anxiolytic, analgesic, antihypertension and other neurological effects.

  • Patent number: 7488039
    Abstract: A motor vehicle seat back structure comprising a backrest support frame which consists of a surface turned towards the seat user's back, a lordosis support which is arranged on the front part of the backrest support frame for supporting the user's back and an adjusting device for vertically adjusting the lordosis support position with respect to the extension plane of said backrest support frame. The adjusting device comprises at least one adjusting element operably connected to the lordosis support and at least one sliding element which is displaceable with respect to said adjusting element and interacts therewith in such a way that when the sliding element moves, the adjusting element is displaced with a directional component perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the sliding element and performs an action on said lordosis support in the direction.

  • Publication number: 20080253407
    Abstract: A laser for generating pulsed laser radiation is provided. The laser includes a resonator, a laser-active medium arranged in the resonator, and an acousto-optic modulator arranged in the resonator. The modulator can be put in a first and a second state so as to set the resonator quality, the resonator quality being lower in the first state than in the second state, and comprising a control unit for controlling the modulator. The control unit effects phase-locked coupling of a high-frequency signal to be applied to the modulator in one of said two states, in order to generate a predetermined sound field in the modulator, and a switching signal designed to switch the modulator periodically between the two states.
