Publication number: 20090049829Abstract: An assembly for mixing a medium with an exhaust gas flow of a motor vehicle exhaust system has a first exhaust pipe and a second exhaust pipe. The first exhaust pipe comprises a device for introducing the medium and opens axially into a connecting member that is widened with respect to the first exhaust pipe. The second exhaust pipe opens laterally into the connecting member. The connecting member is configured to impart an angular momentum to the exhaust gas flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: EMCON TECHNOLOGIES GERMANY (AUGSBURG) GMBHInventors: Rolf Kaiser, Klaus Rusch

Publication number: 20090006321Abstract: A system and methods for the automatic transmission of new, high affinity media to a user are provided. In connection with a system that convergently merges perceptual and digital signal processing analysis of media entities for purposes of classifying the media entities, various means are provided to a user for automatically extracting media entities that represent a high (or low) affinity state/space for the user in connection with the generation of a high affinity playlist, channel or station. Techniques for providing a dynamic recommendation engine and techniques for rating media entities are also included are also included. Once a high affinity state/space is identified, the high affinity state/space may be persisted for the user from experience to experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Rolf Kaiser, Michael J.

Publication number: 20070042356Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of Hepatitis B variants exhibiting a reduced sensitivity to nucleoside analogues both in vivo and in vitro. More in particular, reverse transcriptase mutant rt I233V is provided. Present invention provides assays and methods for detecting such variant, which assays are useful in monitoring anti-viral therapeutic regimes and adjusting patient therapy. A diagnostic kit for detecting the presence of an HBV variant in a biological sample has also been described. Finally, the use of a farmaceutical composition to cure a subject suffering from a HBV infection, which HBV is resistant to lamuvidine and/or adefovir has been provided, which farmaceutical composition comprises the nucleoside analogue tenofovir.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Applicants: Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitaet Bonn, Universitaet zu Koeln, Justus-Liebig-Universitaet GiessenInventors: Oliver Schildgen, Martin Vogel, Bertfried Matz, Juergen Rockstroh, Rolf Kaiser, Martin Daeumer, Martin Helm, Lutwin Weitner, Carl Schewe, Wolfram Gerlich

Publication number: 20050120868Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for classification of information and using the classification information in search and retrieval of information. In one embodiment, musical compositions having various highly subjective characteristics and features are classified according to a schema of objective attributes that are associated with the characteristics and features. Categorizers carry out the classification and create and store attribute information in a database. A search and retrieval system can receive information that characterizes the features of a desired composition and can locate a matching composition. As a result, information having subjective characteristics, such as musical compositions, may be compared and similar musical compositions can be located.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2005Publication date: June 9, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeremy Hinman, Rolf Kaiser, Geoffrey Stanfield, Paul Deeds, Frank Flannery, David Revelli

Patent number: 4315416Abstract: A bath container for cooling a liquid contained therein for use in refrigeration equipment includes a jacket bounding a space for the liquid which comprises a side wall and a bottom wall. The side wall of the jacket is formed of two individual walls spaced from one another to form a hollow chamber therebetween which chamber is connected to a refrigerant feeding member and to a refrigerant discharging member whereby the jacket forming the hollow chamber and adapted to pass the refrigerant therethrough functions as an evaporator. A surface heating element including a heating wire inserted into a relatively thick insulating packing is mounted on the surface of the bottom side to supply heat to the working liquid contained in the bath container.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1980Date of Patent: February 16, 1982Inventors: Walter Frey, Rolf Kaiser
