Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100028233Method for Combustion of a Carbon-Containing Fuel, Especially a Fossil Fuel - A method for combustion of a carbon-containing fuel, especially a fossil fuel, further preferred coal. The flue gas is at least dedusted, is desulfurized with an absorbent containing calcium compounds, and in a two-stage high temperature process is decarbonized with calcium oxide in a carbonator accompanied by formation of calcium carbonate and the calcium carbonate is regenerated in a calcinator, while heat is supplied and while carbon dioxide is set free, to form calcium oxide, which is recirculated into the carbonator. At least to one of the stages of the high temperature process fresh calcium containing absorbent is added. Calcium compounds from the carbonator and/or calcinator are used as absorbent with the flue gas desulfurization.02-04-2010

20090255464DEVICE FOR APPLYING ACTIVE SUBSTANCES TO SURFACES OF MEDICAL IMPLANTS, PARTICULARLY STENTS - A device for applying active substances to surfaces of medical implants (10-15-2009
20110034874CATHETER PUMP FOR CIRCULATORY SUPPORT - A catheter pump intended to be inserted in the circulatory system of a mammal, for example for assisting the heart. The catheter pump comprises: a hollow catheter (02-10-2011
20110282128CATHETER PUMP FOR CIRCULATORY SUPPORT - A catheter pump intended to be inserted in the circulatory system, for example for assisting the heart, including a hollow catheter, a sheath, a drive cable, a drive shaft, a propeller, a proximal housing, a distal housing, and several filaments. Axial movement of the sheath in relation to the catheter brings the distal housing closer to the proximal housing so that said filaments are unfolded to form a cage. The propeller is pivotable between a first folded position, in which the propeller is parallel with the drive shaft and an unfolded position in which the propeller is perpendicular to the drive shaft. Axial movement of the sheath in a first movement unfolds the cage and in a second subsequent movement, actuation pins of the sleeve act upon a cam surface that unfolds the propeller.11-17-2011

20090026263TRANSPORT MONITORING SYSTEM - A transport monitoring system is provided for transporting goods that are provided with identification tags. The identification tags store identification data used to identify the goods. The transport device includes a closeable transport unit, at least one reader unit, an evaluation unit and activation unit. The closeable transport unit receives goods that are provided with identification tags. The at least one reader unit emits an inquiry signal to the transport unit in order to read the identification tags when an activation signal for activating the reader unit is received. The at least one reader unit also receives the identification data signals emitted by the identification tags. The evaluation unit is used to evaluate the identification data signals received by the reader unit. The activation unit produces the activating signal for activating the reader unit once the transport unit is closed.01-29-2009

20110257586CALCIUMPHOSPHATE-BASED NANOPARTICLES AS CARRIER-SYSTEMS FOR PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY - The present invention provides pharmaceutical photosensitizer-loaded nanoparticle formulations and their methods of preparation for photodynamic therapy, comprising a hydrophobic or hydrophilic photosensitizer, nanoparticulate calcium phosphate and in certain cases auxiliary reagents such as stabilizers. The calcium phosphate-based nanoparticle formulations of the present invention provide excellent storage stability and therapeutically effective amounts of photosensitizer for intravenous or topical administration. In a preferred embodiment, tetrapyrrole derivatives such as porphyrins, chlorins and bacteriochlorins, are the preferred hydrophobic photosensitizers to be formulated in calcium phosphate nanoparticle formulations for photodynamic tumor therapy. Additionally, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-phosphonooxyphenyl)porphine (pTPPP) is a preferred hydrophilic photosensitizer for photodynamic tumor therapy. In another preferred embodiment, hydrophilic cationic and anionic photosensitizers, especially those of the phenazinium, phenothiazinium and xanthenes series have been found to inactive pathogen bacteria and are the preferred photosensitizers to be formulated in calcium phosphate nanoparticle formulations for antibacterial photodynamic therapy. In another embodiment, photosensitizing nanoparticle formulations are useful to locate cells, tissues or bacteria by using fluorescence imaging methods.10-20-2011

20100280723Method and Device for Controlling the Braking System of a Vehicle - In a method and a device for controlling the braking system of a vehicle having a vacuum brake booster and a vacuum source, it is provided that a variable triggering threshold value, at the exceeding of which an automatic braking procedure is triggered, is a function of the vacuum level or of the vacuum gradient of the vacuum brake booster.11-04-2010
20110132702METHOD FOR OPERATING A BRAKING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE, BRAKING SYSTEM - A method for operating a braking system of a vehicle, particularly of a motor vehicle, is described in which an automatic braking process is triggered by the exceeding of a specifiable threshold value by a rate of change conditioned upon the operation of a brake pedal. It is provided, in this context, that the threshold value is specified/varied by the driver in an initialization operation of the braking system. Also described is a related braking system.06-09-2011
