| 20090049939 | Change Speed Transmission - A transmission, in particular a dual clutch transmission, has a plurality of transmission shafts and a fastening apparatus for at least one fixed gear on one of the transmission shafts. The fixed gear is held axially on the transmission shaft by way of a fastening nut. The fixed gear is formed with a recess around the transmission shaft in a region that lies radially below the gear toothing system. A fastening sleeve is positioned in the recess between the fixed gear and the transmission shaft in a section which adjoins a fastening nut. During the clamping of the fastening nut, the latter bears against the fastening sleeve. As a result, the transmission of micromovements to the fastening nut is minimized or prevented, with the result that loosening of the fastening nut does not take place during the operation of the transmission. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20110259135 | TRANSMISSION - A transmission having at least one shaft, on which a guide sleeve which has a first external toothing system is arranged fixedly so as to rotate with it and at least one slider sleeve which has an internal toothing system is arranged, it being possible to adjust the slider sleeve between a disengaged position, in which the internal toothing system and a second external toothing system on a clutch element are not operatively connected, and an engaged position, in which the internal toothing system meshes with the second external toothing system. The internal toothing system and/or the first external toothing system are/is configured in such a way that there is merely punctiform contact between them in the engaged position. As a result, in particular, an undesired gear disengagement can be suppressed. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20100208346 | Multilayer Dielectric Transmission Gratings Having Maximal Transmitted Diffraction Efficiency - A multilayer dielectric transmission grating is made by coating a substrate with an antireflective (AR) coating and placing a dielectric grating on the AR coating. This grating is designed to transmit the maximum amount of light transmitted through the optic into the −1 order. Both the grating and the AR coating are designed to user specifications based on the desired incidence angle and wavelength range. The AR coating and grating act in concert to maximize the transmitted diffraction efficiency. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20120065840 | VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE - A vehicle includes at least one of (i) an undercarriage and an upper carriage arranged rotatably about a vertical axis with respect to the undercarriage and (ii) a leverage means arranged pivotably about a horizontal axis with respect to the upper carriage, wherein a sensor system is provided for monitoring at least one stability criterion with respect of a tilt movement of the vehicle, and wherein a control unit is coupled to the sensor system for automatically initiating an action and/or performing an action for stabilizing the vehicle depending on the at least one stability criterion. The risk of an unexpected tilting of the vehicle can be reduced | 03-15-2012 |

| 20100070965 | Software Update Service with Compatibility Checking - System and method for updating software over a network. A computer system is scanned to determine installed software, including determining a unique code and version information for each of one or more programs. A list of the installed software, including the determined unique code and version information for each program, is generated in response to the scanning, and sent to a server computer system over the network. Information is received describing updates for at least one of the programs from the server computer system over the network. The computer system and the information describing updates are analyzed, and one or more updates that are safe to install on the computer system are determined based on the analyzing. The one or more updates are displayed on a display of the computer system, and at least one update of the one or more updates is installed on the computer system. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20080301989 | FRAME FOR A FLEXIBLE BANNER AND FRAME AND FLEXIBLE BANNER ASSEMBLY - A frame for holding a flexible banner in tension, and a frame and flexible banner assembly in which the flexible banner is held in tension, has a frame including segments that are positioned together to define an enclosed area. Each segment has two main parts that are held together with a hinge that runs along the entire length of the outer edge of the segment. One main part is a base and the other one serves as a decorative cover. To keep the covers closed, each segment has a number of springs that secured to both the base and cover. To load the frame with a banner, each cover can be opened by hand a device inside the frame can be used to hold the covers open. Once loaded, the banner is held in place and tensioned with banner tensions, which may be springs that stretch from posts in the frame to holes in the banner. One end of a spring is secured to the post and the other end of the spring is secured to the banner such as by an end of the spring extending through the hole in the banner and “hooking” the banner. The holding devices are then moved to allow the covers to spring shut. A frame and flexible banner assembly includes the foregoing frame and flexible banner. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20120001096 | HADRON TREATMENT PLANNING WITH ADEQUATE BIOLOGICAL WEIGHTING - Treatment planning methods are provided that determine the variability of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) along a beam line and calculate, among other things, what intensity of hadron beam such as a proton or a carbon ion beam should be applied to achieve a desired biological dose at treatment site of a patient afflicted with a medical condition. Typically, three or four RBE values at three or four corresponding spacially-dispersed intervals along the beam line are calculated. In one embodiment, two RBE values for the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) region of the treatment site; one for the proximal section and one for the declining distal section is calculated. A third and different RBE value may be determined for the distal edge region of the SOBP. A fourth value may also be calculated for a pre-SOBP region. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20110171107 | SYSTEM FOR HALTING THE INCREASE IN ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A system and method for collecting carbon dioxide present in the terrestrial atmosphere and sequestering the carbon dioxide. A renewable energy source, such as a wind turbine, provides electrical power without generating carbon dioxide emissions. The electricity is used to electrolyze seawater, providing a cathodic solution enriched in NaOH. By aeration of the cathodic solution, carbon dioxide is captured as Na | 07-14-2011 |

| 20110180974 | LABELER AND A LABELING METHOD FOR LABELING PLASTIC BOTTLES IN A BLOW MOLD, IN PARTICULAR IN A ROTARY BLOW MOLDER - A labeler for in-mold labeling of plastic bottles as well as to a labeling method for use of the labeler, including that a transfer star wheel and a transfer device of the labeler move the preforms and the labels in a transfer region towards one another in such a way that a respective label is only affixed to a circumferential subarea of a perform. In this manner, the label can be inserted in the blow mold in a particularly fast and reliable manner and excessive stretching of the label during blow molding can be avoided. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110183028 | LABELER FOR LABELING PLASTIC CONTAINERS IN THE BLOW MOLD IN A ROTARY BLOW MOLDER - A labeler for labeling plastic containers in the blow mold in a rotary blow molder, with a blow wheel having arranged thereon a plurality of blow molds with a lowerable blow mold bottom, and at least one label dispenser used for providing tubular labels. The blow mold bottom is implemented such that a label can be introduced via the blow mold bottom into the blow mold before the blowing process takes place, which facilitates a spatial separation of the label supply from the feeder star wheel of the blow wheel and allows a substantially simultaneous insertion of the label and of the preform. | 07-28-2011 |
