Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090266695SWITCH FOR A SWITCHGEAR ASSEMBLY FOR POWER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION - A switch for a switching unit for energy supply and distribution includes a first connection and a second connection, each with a cylindrical bolt. The bolts are axially adjacent one another and spaced apart. An annular sleeve with an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the bolts, is arranged in such a way that it can be axially displaced on the bolt of the first connection, and partially on the bolt of the second connection. At least a first contact element is arranged between the surface of the bolt of the first connection and the inner surface of the annular sleeve. At least a second contact element is arranged and constructed in such a way that it can be positioned between the surface of the bolt of the second connection and the inner surface of the annular sleeve. The switch has an annular third connection, the inner diameter of which is greater than an outer diameter of the annular sleeve, and which is arranged such that the sleeve can be shifted between the bolts of the first connection and the annular third connection. At least a third contact element is arranged and constructed in such a way that it can be positioned between the inner surface of the annular third connection and the outer surface of the annular sleeve.10-29-2009

20080196917FLUID SUPPLY HOSE FOR A WINDSCREEN OR HEADLAMP WASHER SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE - A fluid supply hose for a windscreen or headlamp washer system of a vehicle having an electric heating element, said heating element comprising a coaxial cable (08-21-2008

Markus Bickel, Morschen DE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090179084WASH SYSTEM FOR WINDOW GLASSES AND/OR HEADLAMPS OF A VEHICLE - A wash system for window glasses and/or headlamps of a vehicle, with a fluid line through which a fluid is conducted from a fluid reservoir into a nozzle and with a heating cable which is laid in the fluid line is disclosed. The heating cable is laid so as to enter the nozzle or to pass through the nozzle and to heat not only the fluid line but also the nozzle. One obtains a wash system that can be manufactured at low cost and ensures freeze protection at reduced energy expense by the fact that the heating cable is laid in a meander pattern in the nozzle.07-16-2009

20090079963Device and method for the detection of particles - The present invention relates to devices and methods for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of particles. In particular, the invention relates to devices for the detection of particles, comprising a reaction chamber formed within a chamber body between a first surface and a second surface, wherein the second surface is located opposite to the first surface, and one or more displacers, wherein the distance between the first surface and the second surface is variable via the one or more displacers at least in one or more parts of the surface area of the first surface and/or the second surface. The invention also relates to corresponding methods for the detection of particles, comprising positioning a sample supposed to comprise one or more species of particles to be detected in a reaction chamber, displacing at least a part of the sample within the reaction chamber via the one or more displacers; and detecting/determining a value indicative for the presence and/or number of one or more species of particles.03-26-2009
20090082219Method and device for the detection of molecular interactions - The present invention relates to devices and methods for the detection of analytes. In particular, the invention relates to methods for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of analytes, comprising a microarray on a substrate, onto which probe molecules are immobilized on array elements, said microarray being disposed on a first surface of the device; and a detection chamber formed between the first surface including the microarray disposed thereon and a second surface, wherein the distance between the microarray and the second surface is variable, and wherein the second surface has a displacement structure.03-26-2009
20120088252Device and Method for the Detection of Particles - The present invention relates to devices and methods for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of particles.

20110109435METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF SIMILAR PLACES - An approach is provided for determining the similarity between a reference point-of-interest and similarity candidate points-of-interest. Data specifying a reference point-of-interest and location data of a search region are received. A reference vector specifying a plurality of features associated with the reference point-of-interest is retrieved. A plurality of candidates for similar points-of-interest are determined based, at least in part, on the search region. A similarity score is determined for each of the candidates. A list of one or more similar points-of-interest is generated based on the similarity scores.05-12-2011
