| 20090038156 | METHOD OF MAKING A TUBULAR SUPPORT BAR FOR A DASHBOARD SUPPORT - In a method of making a tubular support bar for a dashboard support, a sheet metal blank is placed in a first forming tool and pressed in a first shaping step by a ram into a U-shaped cavity of a first bottom die to form a U-shaped member. While remaining in the first bottom die, the U-shaped member is provided with connecting elements in the form of weld nuts by a automated placement device. Subsequently, the U-shaped member is transferred to a second forming tool and undergoes a second shaping step between a top die and a second bottom die to form a slotted tube. The longitudinal edges of the slotted tube are then joined together to form the support bar. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090140553 | DASHBOARD SUPPORT - A dashboard support extending between the A-pillars of a motor vehicle includes a passenger-side beam member constructed to suit a load exposure on a passenger side, a driver-side beam member which is constructed to suit a load exposure on a driver side and connected to the passenger-side beam member; and an air guiding channel which is made of plastic and arranged in the driver-side beam member. The air guiding channel is supported on the inside by the driver-side beam member so as to be aligned in its three rotary degrees of freedom and its translational degrees of freedom in travel direction and vertical direction. The air guiding channel has a sidewall which is formed, for securement in a direction transversely to the travel direction, with an outwardly directed protuberance for engagement in a receiving member in the driver-side beam member when the air guiding channel is displaced transversely to the travel direction. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090162688 | METHOD OF MAKING A HYBRID STRUCTURE, AND HYBRID STRUCTURE - In a method of making a hybrid structure, at least one support body is fixed in a tube component which is then placed in an injection molding tool. An injection-molded part is injection-molded to an outer surface of the tube component in an area of the support body. As a result, the tube component is inwardly deformed, when regions adjacent to the support body are exposed to an injection pressure, and forms indentations for engagement of the injection-molded part. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090302641 | DASHBOARD SUPPORT, AND METHOD OF MAKING A DASHBOARD SUPPORT - A dashboard support for a motor vehicle includes a tubular cross member for installation between A-pillars of a vehicle body, and a holder joined to the cross member for attachment of functional vehicle components. The cross member has at least one slot, oriented in a direction transversely to a longitudinal axis of the cross member, for receiving a limb of the holder such as to allow adjustment of a position of the holder in relation to the cross member by sliding and/or turning the limb before the holder is being joined to the cross member. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100230997 | DOOR IMPACT BEAM - A door impact beam for a motor vehicle includes a formed metal sheet defined by a longitudinal axis and having a tubular cross section which has a closed circumference in a center portion of the metal sheet, and is configured with open circumference at both end portions of the metal sheet which adjoin the center portion in a direction of the longitudinal axis. Each end portion is defined by an opening angle which continuously increases from the center portion to respective ends of the end portions. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100242127 | METHODS TO IDENTIFY MODULATORS OF B-RAF PROTEIN KINASE AND THEIR USE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION - The present invention relates to a method for identifying a compound capable of modulating an anxiety or depression disorder comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a composition comprising a B-Raf protein or a B-Raf gene in expressible form or a transcript thereof with a compound under conditions that allow for an interaction of the B-Raf protein or the B-Raf gene or a transcript thereof and the compound; and (b) measuring whether said interaction, if any, results in (i) a change of B-Raf kinase activity compared to B-Raf kinase activity in the absence of said compound; (ii) a modulation of the expression of the B-Raf gene compared to B-Raf gene expression in the absence of said compound; or (iii) the formation of a complex between the compound and the B-Raf protein, wherein such a change in activity, modulation of expression or the formation of a complex is indicative of the compound being a modulator of an anxiety or depression disorder. Further, the invention relates to a method for treating an anxiety or depression disorder in an individual comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of a compound inhibiting B-Raf kinase activity or gene expression and to a use of a compound that inhibits B-Raf kinase activity or gene expression in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for treating an anxiety or depression disorder. Moreover, the invention relates to a method of diagnosing a B-Raf associated anxiety or depression disorder and to a genetically engineered mouse. Finally, the invention also relates to a method of identifying another gene contributing to the pathophysiology of an anxiety or depression disorder apart from B-Raf. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20100138394 | MULTIPLE CONCURRENT ACTIVE FILE SYSTEMS - A method and apparatus for operating a data storage system is disclosed. An original active file system holds incoming write transactions. Data is written at a selected time to blocks in a data storage device of the original active file system, the data written to blocks which do not hold old data of the data storage system. Pointers to data of the original active file system are written at the selected time to the data storage device, the pointers written to blocks which do not hold old data of the data storage system, the pointers and a previously saved data of the active file system forming a consistency point of the original active file system at the selected time. A new active file system is started using the consistency point of the original active file system at the selected time. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20090292748 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING A STORAGE SYSTEM TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE VOLUME FORMATS SIMULTANEOUSLY - A plurality of types of volumes are maintained, a volume being a logical arrangement of storage space on one or more data storage devices. A volume type field is used to designate the type of a particular volume, and a flexible volume paradigm is selected by the volume type field for interpreting data within a data structure written to a data storage device of the one or more data storage devices. A physical volume block number to virtual volume block number mapping pair (pvbn/vvbn pair) is designated by the volume type field, the pvbn/vvbn pair is used to translate a physical volume block number to a virtual volume block number. A request to write a data to a first block of the particular volume is received, a pvbn/vvbn pair is determined. The data is written to the physical block designated by the pvbn/vvbn pair. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110022570 | ALLOCATING FILES IN A FILE SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH A RAID DISK SUB-SYSTEM - Integrating a file system with a RAID array that exports precise information about the arrangement of data blocks in the RAID subsystem. The present invention uses separate current-write location (CWL) pointers for each disk in the disk array where the pointers simply advance through the disks as writes occur. The present invention writes on the disk with the lowest CWL pointer. A new disk is chosen only when the algorithm starts allocating space for a new file, or when it has allocated N blocks on the same disk for a single file. A sufficient number of blocks are defined as all the buffers in a chunk of N sequential buffers in a file. The result is that CWL pointers are never more than N blocks apart on different disks, and large files have N consecutive blocks on the same disk. | 01-27-2011 |
