Patent number: 10413974Abstract: A method to control a power tool (1), especially a handheld core drilling machine, includes a drive (10) to drive a tool (30) and a control unit (40) for when a workpiece (W) is being processed. The method encompasses the following method steps: setting the rotational speed of the drive at a first value; measuring a first power consumption value for the drive; setting a threshold value for the power consumption of the drive; and increasing the rotational speed of the drive to a second value if the power consumption of the drive (10) exceeds the threshold value due to an increase in the drive load. The power tool includes a drive (10) to drive a tool (3) and a control unit (40) to control at least the rotational speed of the drive.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Oliver Koslowski, Markus Forstner, Egon Koenigbauer, Michael Fuchs, Stefan Groer

Publication number: 20170342422Abstract: Amino acid residue misincorporations are necessarily found in sequence variants at low concentrations in admixture with expressed polypeptides, resulting from one or more base mismatches within codons susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation during transcription and/or translation. The invention provides a method of optimizing the coding sequences of a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide, wherein at least one codon is susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation. The method of the invention can be used to reverse-engineer an unknown coding sequence, which encodes the same polypeptide, but differs in said at least one codon from the known coding sequence. The method can further be used to alter the immunogenic potential of an expressed polypeptide. Thus, the invention is useful in engineering optimized polynucleotides encoding polypeptides.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2015Publication date: November 30, 2017Applicant: Sandoz AGInventors: Johann Holzmann, Michael Fuchs, Clemens Achmüller, Hansjörg Toll
