20120151634 | ASSAY FOR MEASURING ROOTWORM RESISTANCE - A method for determining the resistance of a pest to a plant that produces insecticidal toxins. The method involves sampling pests in fields with known pest problems, and in control fields with no known pest problems. Eggs are obtained from the sample pest populations, and larvae hatched from the eggs are evaluated in laboratory bioassays for their survival on two transgenic crop hybrids, each of which contain a unique toxin targeting the pest, and two near isogenic hybrids that lack a gene for the toxin. Mortality rates are determined by counting the larvae recovered, and measuring the larvae instars based on head capsule width to calculate the resistance levels. | 06-14-2012 |

20150151782 | METHOD FOR CENTERING THE STEERING WHEEL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE POWER-ASSISTED STEERING - The invention relates to a method to assist with turning a vehicle power assisted steering wheel, during which method a return setpoint (final return setpoint) quantifying a return force intended to be applied to said steering wheel in order to assist with returning said steering wheel to a predetermined central position is formulated, said method involving at least one step (a) of determining longitudinal acceleration during which step the instantaneous longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is evaluated, followed by a step (b) of adapting the return setpoint during which step the steering wheel return setpoint is adjusted according to said instantaneous longitudinal acceleration so as to increase the intensity of the return force if said longitudinal acceleration increases, and thus notably compensate for the lessening of the natural centring effect that is caused by the lightening of the steering under acceleration conditions. | 06-04-2015 |

20110030993 | Corona shield and composite insulator with corona shield - A composite insulator comprises a rod with an insulating jacket and ribs and at least one end fitting and at least one corona shield. The latter is integrally manufactured from plastic material. It is configured to be coaxially disposed on the composite insulator at the transition from the rod to the end fitting. The corona shield forms a cavity, which is open towards the inside and which can be filled with sealant compound through at least one filling channel and which comprises a closing cuff in axial direction on both sides for sealing the cavity. The diameter of the rod side closing cuff is adapted to the diameter of the insulating jacket, and the diameter of the fitting side closing cuff is adapted to the diameter of the end fitting. The filling channel leads to the cavity from the outside. | 02-10-2011 |

20130193110 | CONTACT ARRANGEMENT FOR HIGH-POWER ELECTRICAL SWITCHING - In a contact arrangement for high-power electrical switching devices having at least two circular contact piece pairs in a convex/flat or convex/convex contact piece pair of contact pieces directly connected in parallel, mechanically and electrically in a circuit. A central recess, the largest diameter of which is approximately ⅕ of the contact diameter of a contact piece, is provided in the contact surface of at least one contact piece partner of a contact piece pair. In a convex/concave or flat/concave contact piece pair of contact pieces, however, a positive projection is arranged within the centre of the concave contact surface of a contact piece partner, the largest diameter of which is approximately ⅕ of the contact diameter of the contact piece. | 08-01-2013 |

20120116060 | Blockers of NMDA Receptor for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Anemia - Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. Acute complications of Sickle cell anemia are treated symptomatically with analgesics and transfusions, and a prophylactic treatment of sickle cell crisis is long term application of hydroxyurea. According to the present invention, an N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) blocker is used for the treatment of sickle cell anemia and for manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of sickle cell anemia. Moreover, a method for screening for a compound effective in the treatment of sickle cell anemia comprises contacting a candidate compound with the NMDAR and selecting said candidate compound as effective if it is found to selectively reduce activity of the NMDAR. | 05-10-2012 |

20160084734 | METHOD FOR ASSESSING A WEAR STATE OF A MODULE OF A TURBOMACHINE, MODULE, AND TURBOMACHINE - A method of evaluating a wear state of an assembly of a flow machine, in particular, of a bearing arrangement of a pump or turbine. For determining a wear characteristic, a mechanical query signal having a pre-definable signal shape is generated by a signal generator and a response signal generated from the query signal is detected using a sensor in contact with the assembly. The response signal is varied in dependence on a variation of a physical operating value of the assembly in accordance with a characteristic pattern, the wear characteristic is determined from the variation of the response signal and the wear state is evaluated using the wear characteristic. | 03-24-2016 |
