Abstract: A rotor carrier for a rotor of an electric machine and to a hybrid module with such a rotor carrier. The rotor carrier includes a tubular base body having elements on an outer circumferential surface facing the rotor for connection between base body and rotor, the base body is connected to a hub by a connection element. The connection element has an axial portion which extends along a part of the axial length of the base body and runs coaxial to the latter, in that receptacles for parts of a clutch are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the axial portion remote of the base body, and in that the connection element has a flange area adjoining the axial portion.

Abstract: The invention includes a substance based on nanocrystalline maghemite having a crystal size of between 0.5 and 4 nm, which is defined by a proportion of divalent iron ions less than five percent by weight of the total iron, and the transport of sodium and simultaneously phosphate in the gastrointestinal wall from the gastrointestinal contents into the bloodstream is reduced and thus can improve the imbalance of electrolyte and water and mineral balances of patients having impaired renal function when used orally in combination with suitable pharmaceutical adjuvants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a phosphate adsorbent on the basis of maghemite or maghemite/magnetite comprising (i) an iron oxide core comprising a crystal structure of inverse spinel iron oxide, (ii) a coating selected from monomeric carbohydrates, in particular monosaccharides or disaccharides, alditols, or mixtures thereof, and/or (iii) a pharmaceutical excipient selected from polymeric carbohydrates, wherein the phosphate adsorbent has the form of nanoparticles with a particle size of the iron oxide core (i) of less than 20 nm. The present invention further relates to a method for the production of a phosphate adsorbent on the basis of maghemite or maghemite/magnetite, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the phosphate adsorbent, and to medical uses thereof, especially for the prevention and/or treatment of hyperphosphatemia.

Abstract: The present invention relates to magnetic particle dispersions comprising coated monocrystalline and/or polycrystalline single nanoparticles of iron oxides and nano-particulate aggregates (multi-core particles) thereof with improved nonlinear magnetization behavior and improved heating properties in alternating magnetic fields. When measured in a magnetic particle spectrometer (MPS) the particle dispersions show a pronounced overtone structure, especially in the higher harmonics, which surpasses all previously known particle systems many times over. Therefore, the dispersions are especially useful for applications such as MPI (magnetic particle imaging). In addition, the new particle dispersions are suitable for treatment of iron deficiency anemia and for applications in therapeutic hyperthermia, particularly passive partial-body hyperthermia or cell tracking and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
