  • Patent number: 11691542
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adjustment device for a vehicle seat comprising adjusters adjustable in relation to one another, where on the first adjuster a toothed rack with an interlocking is hinged, and on the second adjuster a pinion is pivoted, the interlocking engaging with the pinion for adjusting the toothed rack and for moving the two adjusters in relation to one another, where, further, a toothed rack blocking element is affixed to the second adjuster, and the toothed rack, when adjusted, runs between the toothed rack blocking element and the pinion.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020068968
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for making a virtual stent for implantation into a body lumen. A particularly preferred embodiement is optmized for emplacement and indwelling in the internal carotid artery, with a lower end and an upper end wherein the radius decreases from lower end to upper end, and includes ‘trumpet-like’ or parabolic elements abutting facultative apertures. Generally, computer-aided-design derived stent has a tectonic structure in the form of angles and curvatures adapted to the course of a desired lumen. For example, the internal carotid artery whereby lower end in the region of the outlet of internal carotid artery is formed as an ovaloid recess provided in the region of the outlet of the external carotid artery.

  • Patent number: 6255957
    Abstract: A process reliably detects the change of the locking state of at least one lock with a logic with memory and display attached to a key. The process includes determining a rotation of the key associated with the lock within the lock, detecting a single or multiple rotation in unlocking or locking direction of the lock and simultaneously determining whether the detected rotation occurs in unlocking or locking direction of the lock. A signal is generated that indicates the unlocking or locking of the lock. This signal is stored in the memory of the logic, and the signal is displayed. A device for implementing the process includes one or several markers mounted near the lock, one or several sensors non-rotatably connected with the key for detecting these markers, a logic attachable to the key with a memory in which data can be stored whereby the logic can process the signals received from the sensors, and a display for displaying the locking state.
