Patent number: 10315632Abstract: A dual mass flywheel protection system includes an engine coupled to a transmission using a dual mass flywheel defining a drive train. A gear determiner identifies a present operational gear. A filtered engine speed is available. A torque reduction module applies the present operational gear and filtered engine speed producing signals limiting an engine torque to reduce engine torque variations. A first torque limitation option limits engine torque when the drivetrain is coupled, dependent on an engine rpm, which is related to an actual gear selected. A second torque limitation option determines an engine torque reduction during an emergency braking maneuver while an anti-lock brake (ABS) system is active. An engine shut-off module produces an output signal shutting off the engine upon initiation of one of multiple engine shut-off module outputs, and is active when an engine torque limitation due to a low engine rpm is not present.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Steffen Rose, Michael Boehmer, Florian Roemer

Publication number: 20130295561Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of enriching fetal cells from a pregnant female. The present invention relates to removing, from a sample, cells that comprise at least one MHC molecule. The present invention also relates to methods that rely on using telomerase, mRNA encoding components thereof, as well as telomere length, as markers for fetal cells. Enriched fetal cells can be used in a variety of procedures including, detection of a trait of interest such as a disease trait, or a genetic predisposition thereto, gender typing and parentage testing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: Genetic Technologies LimitedInventors: Ralph Michael Boehmer, Richard Allman

Patent number: 7895722Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: KEIPER GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Michael Böhmer, Daniel Hippel, Martin Reischmann, Bernhard Mūller
