The paper presents the possibilities of the diagnostic prediction of the automotive systems. The construction and principle of the disc brake pads wear sensor operation is shown. The algorithm of the mileage calculation to the boundary wear of the brake pads is presented. The strategy of the brake pads wear signalization is shown. The method allows to calculate the intensity of the brake pads wear and to calculate the mileage to the necessity replacement of the pads. Proposed method allows to extend the on board diagnostics system on the mechanical parts of the brakes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Granular cell tumour (GCT), first described by Abrikosoff typically develops as a benign lesion of yet unclear histogenesis. It occurs rarely, mostly in adults, and is localised on the lateral aspect of the tongue, lips, gingiva, buccal mucosa, and in the pharynx and oesophagus. GCT tends to be a small, smooth, painless, elastic-firm mass which arises slowly and asymptomatically. Diagnosis is established based on histopathological examination. The present paper comprises a review of the literature on the subject and a brief report on four cases of lingual GCT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
