  • Patent number: 11744908
    Abstract: Methods for determining systemic biodistribution characteristics of intravitrially administered medicaments. In some embodiments, radiolabeled agents or medicaments, such as I-124 labeled bevacizumab, ranibizumab and aflibercept, was imaged utilizing PET/CT in a non-human primate model, with radioactivity emission measurements made to determine the intravitreal half-lives of each agent and to determine the differences of radioactivity uptake in non-ocular organs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2023
    Inventors: John Christoforidis, Michael Knopp
  • Patent number: 11619089
    Abstract: The invention relates to an operational force support device that is adapted to support a user when operating a lid (10). The invention further relates to a method for adjusting a force (FH) that has to be applied by a user to operate a lid (10). Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer module adapted to output an amplification factor and/or an armature voltage that is/are used in the method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 10214952
    Abstract: Tubular drive apparatus for a panel of a vehicle, preferably a tailgate or door, comprising two tubes which are inserted into one another in a telescopic manner, the free ends of which are each hinged to the panel of the vehicle and to the vehicle itself, the tubes being capable of being separated from one another and brought together by means of a spindle which is driven by an electric motor and comprises a spindle nut arranged thereon, in order to thus open and close the panel, the electric motor, the spindle, the spindle nut and an electronic circuit board comprising sensor elements being arranged within the tubular drive apparatus, and a power electronics unit for actuating the electric motor also being arranged on the electronic circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8601891
    Abstract: A driving device having a housing tube connected to a stationary base part or a movable structural component part a protective tube connected to the other respective part a spindle drive which has a threaded spindle and a spindle nut arranged on the threaded spindle by which the housing tube and protective tube are movable axially relative to one another, and a rotary drive that drives the spindle drive via a clutch, a rotationally rigid interconnection thereof can be canceled when a determined torque is exceeded. A magnetic ring having a plurality of north and south poles is rotationally arranged near a stationary sensor element. The magnetic ring is arranged at the clutch that is connected to the threaded spindle, fixed with respect to rotation relative to it.
