An apheresis apparatus and method is disclosed for increasing the purity and yield of platelets separated from donated whole blood in a centrifuge. The whole blood in the centrifuge is diluted by recirculating fluid, such as plasma or saline, at a first flow rate, to mix with further withdrawn whole blood prior to entering the centrifuge. As plasma is collected, it is recirculated through the cent...

A commercially available lengthy dual thin-edged knife 53 is secured to the knife holder 51a. A pressing member 52a is secured to a spirally formed groove 52b of a plane rotor (thus far being called a top-rotor) with screws in conjunction with a circumferential surface me...

The present invention is characterized in that it comprises signal detecting means located before the automatic transmission mechanism for detecting the timing that torque outputted from a torque converter of said automatic transmission at the moment of shifting up changes from clutch before shift to clutch after shift, signal detecting means located after the automatic transmission mechanism for ...

Pressure in an air intake passage is changed according to an opening size of a throttle valve. The throttle valve is open when an engine performs a stratified charge combustion. The opening size of the throttle valve is selected based on a load applied to the engine when the engine performs a homogeneous charge combustion. A brake booster is connected to the intake passage and accumulates the pres...

The distribution of altitude of vehicle is estimated for every time, based on which central value of altitude for every time is computed. The energy recovered by a regeneration system is discharged and schedule of engine output is performed based on computed central value of altitude; In einem Fahrzeug, das mit einem Motor und einem regenerativen Systen ausgerüstet ist, soll die durch das regenera...

The output control system reacts to the operation of the accelerator pedal so that the engine power generated matches that required for the current speed conditions. To compensate for the surge in resistance to the motion of the vehicle corresponding to the change in speed an additional correction is introduced into the control loop; Es wird ein Antriebskraft-Steuersystem für eine Kraftfahrzeug-Kr...

The system has a processor unit (1) for performing the required system function and a fault response arrangement that monitors the system for system faults with at least two watchdog units (WD1,WD2) that set the processor system into a predefined fault response state if a fault is detected. Different watchdog calls are used for the two watchdog units and are output by the processor unit depending ...

The ablation system (1) has an energy source (15). Several source decoupling elements (11b-11g) are attached to a holder (11a). Several energy transfer lines (19.1) connect the source(s) to the decoupling elements. Switch elements are associated with the transfer lines to make or break a connection between the source(s) and respective decoupling elements. The arrangement also has a program control...

Production of foam-backed mineral panels comprises placing a mineral panel in an unheated mold, coating the panel with a foamable polyurethane composition, sealing the mold, and allowing the composition to foam under autogenous pressure.; Es wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Verbundkörpern aus mineralischen Formkörpern und geschäumten Polyurethanschichten beschrieben. Hierbei wird der minerali...
