Abstract: A road vehicle comprising: an internal combustion engine; an electric starter motor; a high-voltage electric circuit provided with a first storage system; a low-voltage electric circuit provided with a second storage system and directly connected to the electric starter motor; an electronic DC-DC power converter, which connects the low-voltage electric circuit and the high-voltage electric circuit to one another; and a control unit configured, in the presence of a turned-on condition of the road vehicle and when the internal combustion engine is off, to activate the electronic DC-DC power converter so as to transfer power to be at least partially supplied to the electric starter motor from the high-voltage electric circuit to the low-voltage electric circuit only in case of a cold-start condition of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to the use of an innovative amino acid derivative of glucosamine having the Formula 1 of the general structure which follows, or of a pharmaceutical composition which contains it as a single active ingredient or in association with one or more further active ingredients for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases involved mainly with the regulation of the turnover of macromolecules that make up the ECM of connective tissue in general and more specifically of the cartilage.
