20110035124	METHOD OF OPERATING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS CONTROLLER - A method is provided for operating an automatic transmission for a vehicle, that includes, but is not limited to detecting whether a target speed of the vehicle is set, calculating an optimum acceleration gear in dependence of an actual virtual accelerator pedal position, and, if the optimum acceleration gear differs from a current gear, storing the actual virtual accelerator pedal position, shifting to the optimum acceleration gear and ignoring newly calculated actual virtual accelerator pedal positions for an acceleration period of time. Since the actual virtual accelerator pedal position is stored in the case of a detected necessary gear shift and further calculated actual virtual accelerator pedal positions are ignored for a time, the operating of the transmission is based mainly on the value of the actual virtual accelerator pedal position at the time, when a necessary gear shift is detected. The risk that due to insignificant changes of the accelerator pedal position the gear is shifted up and down several times (“gear hunting”) until the target speed is reached is reduced.	02-10-2011

20080308191	Process For Melt Dip Coating a Strip of High-Tensile Steel - A process for melt dip coating a strip of high-tensile steel with alloy constituents including zinc and/or aluminum includes the following steps. The strip is heated in a continuous furnace initially in a reductive atmosphere to a temperature of approximately 650° C., at which the alloy constituents diffuse to the surface in small amounts. The surface, consisting predominantly of pure iron, is converted into an iron oxide layer by a short heat treatment at a temperature of up to 750° C. in a reaction chamber which is integrated in a continuous furnace and has an oxidizing atmosphere. In a subsequent annealing treatment at a higher temperature in a reductive atmosphere, this iron oxide layer prevents the alloy constituents from diffusing to the surface. In the reductive atmosphere, the iron oxide layer is converted into a pure iron layer to which the zinc and/or aluminium are applied in the molten bath with optimum adhesion.	12-18-2008

20080313751	Method by Using Human or Mice-Isg12 to Develop and Prepare Drugs and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the Isg12 Gene for Diagnostic Use - Here is described a novel gene, the interferon inducible gene 12 (ISG12, IFI27), that interacts with nuclear receptors and enhances nuclear export of such transcription factors. As a consequence, the transcriptional activities of these nuclear receptors are decreased. As examples effects on NR4A1 and PPARa and PPARg are given. When ISG12 is absent as in ISG12 deficient mice transcriptional activities of these nuclear receptors are not impaired and their protective effects are fully appreciated. Consistently, ISG12 deficient mice are resistant to restenosis upon carotid artery ligation and to endotoxin induced death. Human genetics studies indicate the importance of ISG12 where the inventors could show a strong association between an intronic ISG12 SNP and the presence of hypercholesterolemia, diabetes type 2 and stroke. ISG12 is therefore a target for novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of vascular diseases.	12-18-2008
