Publication number: 20220385155Abstract: A coil with a distributed winding formed from hairpins that each have two straight-line conductor portions arranged in different slots of a coil body. Contact regions shaped in circumferential direction adjoin the conductor portions at one axial end and are connected at the other axial end through a turning region. The contact regions have at the end remote of the coil body a connection portion that are aligned in radially extending rows. The contact regions of a layer are shaped in the same circumferential direction. A portion of the contact regions of an outer layer is deformed in radial direction to form an additional, and these contact regions are shaped in a circumferential direction opposite to the contact regions of the outer layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2020Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Stefan REUTER, Matthias EBERT, Ralf WITTSTADT, Christian BRÜCKNER, Katja WILLACKER, Roland LINDWURM, Jochen WITTMANN, Christoph WIEDER

Patent number: 9664063Abstract: A turbocharger has an exhaust gas turbine, a fresh-air compressor and a bearing seat. A rotor shaft that is equipped with the turbine and the compressor wheel is rotatably mounted in the bearing seat by way of at least one radial bearing. The radial bearing is a floating bush bearing with a hollow-cylindrical floating bush body positioned between a bearing seat of the bearing housing and the rotor shaft. The floating bush body is provided with a defined imbalance in order to counteract an imbalance of the turbo rotor.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Ralf Boening, Ralph-Maurice Koempel, Christian Schmidt, Juergen Krottenthaler, Stefan Reuter

Patent number: 9636081Abstract: A method of recognizing at least one moving anatomical structure using ultrasound data that operates by receiving ultrasound data (100). The ultrasound data comprises Doppler shift information which provides information descriptive of the velocity of at least one anatomical structure. The ultrasound data is first divided into a series of time frames (102). A classification is then assigned to each of the time frames using the Doppler shift information (104). The at least one anatomical structure is then recognized by using the classification of each time frame (106). This is possible, because different anatomical structures produce different patterns in the Doppler shift information.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Stefan Reuter, Alexander Dubielczyk, Markus Wohlschlager

Publication number: 20160030603Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting acute renal allograft rejection in a subject as well as a method of stratifying a subject received a renal allograft and undergoing immunosuppressive therapy for alteration of the therapy. These methods comprise administering to the subject a probe capable of specifically binding to T lymphocytes, the probe being detectable by ultrasound. An allotransplanted kidney of the subject is exposed to ultrasound. The level of T lymphocytes in the kidney is detected. An elevated level of T lymphocytes in the kidney indicates an increased risk of renal allograft rejection and/or that the subject is in need of an alteration of the immunosuppressive therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: Stefan Reuter, Klaus Tiemann
