| 20110178659 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HYBRID DRIVE IN A RAIL VEHICLE - A method is proposed for controlling a hybrid drive in a rail vehicle in which an electronic route timetable (SPL) is predefined as route-section-related speeds by means of a train control device, route-section-related types of drive for the rail vehicle are predictively determined by means of the electronic route timetable (SPL) before the journey begins, a deviation of the actual position from a setpoint position of the rail vehicle which is obtained from the electronic route timetable (SPL) is determined while the rail vehicle is travelling, a time margin is calculated on the basis of the difference in position, and the current type of drive is retained or changed as a function of the time margin. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20120035791 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A RAILWAY VEHICLE - The invention relates to a method for controlling a railway vehicle having a double drive system, wherein each drive system comprises an internal combustion engine and a transmission unit, wherein a target drive torque (M(SL)) is provided as a power requirement by means of a drive lever, wherein an actual drive torque (M(IST)) of the railway vehicle is determined and a drive torque deviation is calculated from the target drive torque (M(SL)) and the actual drive torque (M(IST)). The method further comprises determining a prediction drive type (AAP), and a target drive type (AA(SL)) in the sense of a single or double drive, a target operating point (BP(SL)), and a target transmission stage (US(SL)) are set for the transmission units, based on the drive torque deviation and the prediction drive type (AAP), by means of a traction manager ( | 02-09-2012 |

| 20090018587 | FRACTURE PLATE AND METHOD FOR FIXATION OF SAME TO A BONE SHAFT - Embodiments of the invention provide bone plates with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a longitudinal plate portion for fixation to a bone shaft. A longitudinal plate portion may have three or more non-collinear holes for locking screws, whereby the axis of at least one hole may be angled relative to the axis of another hole to improve the torsional strength of the plate-bone construct. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100324603 | SYSTEM FOR RIB FIXATION - System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for fixing ribs with bone plates. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110319942 | FLEXIBLE PLATE FIXATION OF BONE FRACTURES - Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for fixation of a fractured bone. In various embodiments, the systems and plates may provide elastic suspension of the receiving holes relative to the osteosynthesis plate. This elastic suspension may promote load distribution between the screws that connect a bone segment to the plate, thereby reducing stress risers and load shielding effect. In addition, stress at the screw holes, and within the construct as a whole, is reduced by incorporation of these elastic elements in the plate. Additionally, in some embodiments, for instance if fracture healing by callus formation is desired, elastic suspension of the receiving holes relative to the osteosynthesis plate may enable small, controlled amounts of relative motion between bone fragments connected by the plate, which may promote fracture healing by callus formation. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20120029579 | BONE SCREW WITH MULTIPLE THREAD PROFILES FOR FAR CORTICAL LOCKING AND FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT TO A BONE - Osteosynthesis constructs for treating bone fractures and bone screws for use in such systems are disclosed. The bone screws include a threaded front section configured for engagement with cortical bone, a threaded mid-section and an unthreaded neck section configured for limited movement within the near cortex of the bone. Osteosynthesis constructs of the type disclosed promote secondary healing by allowing for substantially parallel motion at the near and far cortex within the effective motion range for callus formation. | 02-02-2012 |
