Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of fetal specific nucleic acids and fetal cell markers in maternal plasma or serum. In particular, the present invention relates to methods which rely on the analysis of polymorphic alleles of a population to determine an allele which is possessed by the fetus but absent from the mother. Fetal specific alleles identified using the methods of the invention can be used to quantify fetal DNA from maternal plasma or serum. In addition, antigens encoded by alleles identified using the methods of the invention can be targeted in methods of isolating or detecting fetal cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assembling a crash-active head support (1) of a vehicle seat, whereby the structure of the head support (1) is initially assembled from a rear and a front bearing shell and is then upholstered. The rear bearing shell (5) and the front bearing shell (11) are equipped with components (3, 15, 25, 31) and then the equipped bearing shells (5, 11) are rigidly connected together. An impact element (55) is coupled thereto thus forming a quadruple joint.

Abstract: In the case of a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, with a seat part structure (5), a seat cushion (7) positioned on the seat part structure (5) and an antisubmarining ramp (11) effective at the latest at the beginning of a crash, the antisubmarining ramp (11) is movable in a recess (9) of the seat cushion (7).

Abstract: In a headrest (1) for a vehicle seat, having a carrier (5), at least one upper and lower linkage (11, 15) linked to the carrier (5), which can be pivoted around horizontal axles (7, 17), a impact element (13) linked to the linkages (11, 15) which forms at least one four-bar linkage (19) with the linkages (11, 15) and the carrier (5), and an energy storage device (25), the energy storage device (25) driving the four-bar linkage (19) in the event of a crash, so that the impact element (13) comes out forward from an original position into a crash position that is locked against a backward movement by a crash lock, the upper linkage (11) and the lower linkage (15) are unparallel with respect to one another.

Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, has a bearing device (11) between two components (7, 9) which are at least slightly moveable relative to each other. The bearing device (11) has at least one elastic fastening element (21) for connecting the two components (7, 9) transversely to the direction of movement.

Abstract: A motor vehicle's rear bench seat has a back seat structure acting as a reclining back and at least one cam plate for guiding the seat back structure relative to a part affixed to the car structure. An element is provided for the absorption of energy, acting in case of a collision, between the cam plate and the part affixed to the car structure.
