Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110117163BIOACTIVE COATING FOR AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE OR BIOPROSTHESIS - For an implantable device intended for use in the human body an in-vivo colonization with autologous cells is often desired. The devices, especially prosthetic devices like implant tissues, grafts, shunts, vessels, organs or a part of organs are commonly derived from animal or human origin and comprise a collagen-based tissue matrix. The invention proposes a coating deposited on a surface of the device and comprising the matrix protein CCN1 as an extracellular matrix-associated protein mediating cell adhesion or cell migration.05-19-2011

20090175130Device for operating an electronic multifunctional device - An operating mechanism of a multifunctional device which can be worn on the wrist and has a housing with integrated electronics. The operating mechanism is integrated into the housing and has an operating element which is a one-piece or multi-piece setting stem. The setting stem partly crosses the housing, and the setting stem is arranged parallel to a planar enlargement of the housing and is rotatably and linearly moveably mounted. The setting stem can be moved linearly parallel to the longitudinal axis and rotatively about the rotational axis/longitudinal axis by a first operating watch button and optionally with a second operating watch button. The movement of the setting stem triggers various contacts on a contact plate, from which contacts electronic signals are sent to the electronics, as a result of which the electronic control of the multifunctional device is effected.07-09-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090070947Electrically Operated, Continuously Adjustable Personal Hygiene Device - A toothbrush has a removable end cap at its free end area directed away from the bristles, which end cap closes off an inner space of a grip element. The end cap accommodates an electrical control element, in particular a potentiometer, which can be adjusted via an adjustment element arranged rotatably on the end cap. The toothbrush also comprises an electrical power consumption unit, in particular an electric motor, which is designed to set the bristles in vibration. The energy supply from an energy reservoir arranged in the interior to the electrical power consumption unit can be adjusted continuously by means of the control element, as a result of which the vibration intensity of the bristles can be steplessly adjusted.03-19-2009
20090158540Handle for a Brush, In Particular a Toothbrush - The inventive handle for a brush, in particular for a toothbrush or a domestic brush, has an integral handle body with a hollow space which is surrounded by a wall. Recesses which are offset in relation to one another and open into the hollow space are formed in the wall. The handle is produced from a plastic in an injection-molding process using an injection-molding die which has finger elements, with sections of these finger elements touching in a sealing manner when the injection-molding die is in the closed state and, as a result, these finger elements forming the recesses and the hollow space in the hardened handle.06-25-2009
20090183324Electronic toothbrush, and transmission for an electric toothbrush - The transmission according to the invention for an electric toothbrush serves for the transmission and reforming of a rotational movement provided by an electric motor into a particularly careful and effective cleaning movement of a cleaning element. The ratio of the distance between the longitudinal mid-axis of an output shaft and the longitudinal mid-axis of a drive shaft of the transmission and of the distance between the longitudinal mid-axis of a shaft driving a cam of the transmission and the longitudinal mid-axis of the cam amounts to at least 10:1.07-23-2009
20100101037Toothbrush with partially coated surface - The toothbrush has a handle, a neck and a head. In the handle there is a first hard component which has a metallic covering. At least in regions, the metallic covering has a covering of a second hard component.04-29-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090285640METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING A MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTHEN EMBANKMENT USING SEMI-EXTENSIBLE STEEL SOIL REINFORCEMENTS - A method for constructing a mechanically stabilized earthen embankment has the steps of first constructing a wall facing element. A plurality of elongate soil reinforcement elements are attached to the wall facing element. A middle portion of each of the elongate soil reinforcement elements has a plurality of semi-extensible bent segments. Fill soil is added to build the earthen embankment over the reinforcement elements. Movement of the fill soil may create sufficient force to straighten some of the plurality of semi-extensible bent segments, allowing the earthen embankment to move to an active condition thereby reducing the stress on the soil reinforcement elements.11-19-2009

20090312430COLCHICINE SOLID-STATE FORMS; METHODS OF MAKING; AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - Disclosed are new colchicine solid-state forms, methods of preparing the solid-state forms, as well as formulations prepared therefrom and uses thereof.12-17-2009
20100286254CRYSTALLINE FORMS OF DMXAA SODIUM SALT - The present invention relates to pharmaceutically stable crystalline forms of (5,6-Dimethyl-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-4-yl)acetic acid (DMXAA) sodium salt, processes for preparing those stable crystalline forms; pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of those crystalline forms in solid form or in dissolved form and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Disclosed are methods of using those pharmaceutical compositions to treat tumours, optionally in combination with other active pharmaceutical agents.11-11-2010
