Patent number: 9174583Abstract: A container for a vehicle interior has a base body in which at least one compartment is formed and a lid for at least partially closing the compartment and movable between a closed position and an open position. An actuator biases the lid into the open position and a latch can retain it in the closed position. A first brake associated with the actuator retards movement of the lid during movement of the lid from the closed into the opened position. A second brake further retards movement of the lid in only a limited end portion of its movement into the open position.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: GRAMMER AGInventor: Stefan Kuhn

Patent number: 9011765Abstract: A method and an arrangement for sterilizing, in particular for sterilizing an adsorber, which has an adsorber housing that is to be filled with an adsorbent, are such that, instead of the adsorbent-filled adsorber housing being sterilized, the adsorbent is sterilized in a separate container, which is dimensioned such that the adsorbent spreads out in a thin layer in the container. Together with the adsorber housing, the container for sterilizing the adsorbent forms a closed system, such that the adsorbent can be transferred into the adsorber housing without the need for an aseptic environment. The container for receiving the adsorbent is preferably a bag, in which the adsorbent spreads out in a thin layer when the bag is lying flat on a plane surface. Since the adsorbent in the bag spreads out in a thin layer, the sterilization requires only a relatively small dose of radiation, which cannot damage the adsorbent. The bag is irradiated with high-energy radiation, in particular ionizing radiation.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2009Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbHInventors: Holger Rahn, Hans-Peter Leinenbach, Stefan Kuhn, Franz-Josef Gerner

Patent number: 8663668Abstract: The invention relates to the field of disinfection and preservation of surfaces of medical devices. The object of the invention is to make available a disinfectant that provides effective decontamination of medical devices while at the same time being toxicologically safe. This object is achieved through the use of solution containing biguanide. Additional advantages of using such solutions include the fact that the active ingredient used for preservation can be completely rinsed out prior to use and does not have a negative effect on the functionality of protein-containing medical devices. The thoroughness of the rinsing operation can be verified by means of a spectroscopically active additive.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbHInventors: Hans-Peter Leinenbach, Stefan Kuhn, Ute Gabsdil
