The invention consists in a tool free connector unit for a modular furniture system, as shelves, space dividers, display furniture, and much more. The particular geometry of the three-piece system, including a clip-shaped closing element, ensures an outstanding stability, which is a critical aspect in many other screws-free systems already present on the market. The assembly and disassembly can be easily performed by anyone without specific competences and completely tools-free. Assembly and disassembly procedures do not damage the components which are designed to survive several relocations. A patent application has been filed in Germany and several prototypes of modular furniture including Qlick have been produced and successfully tested.

Efficient processing and surface expression of tumor antigens are a prerequisite for successful immune-based cancer therapies. Unfortunately, spatial distribution of antigens is very difficult to determine with standard histological techniques. So cells might harbor tumor antigens inside the cytoplasm, but lack the appropriate MHC I or MHC II presentation on their cell surface. The current invention discloses a simple method to determine MHC-restricted presentation of any antigen of interest on the cell surface.

The new developed laser welding technology serves the parti-cle-free encapsulation of seal electronics against dust, humidity and gases.

The invention concerns a sensor for the magnetic field gradient and applies micromechanical structures. Lorentz-forces excite these structures whereas the vibrational modes are excited by the respective components of the magnetic gradient. This allows highly selective measurements of the respective gradient components. The invention was made by researchers of the Vienna University of Technology.

The invention describes a mechanism, in which the ultrasonic impulse is time encoded, by adding a time signal to the main pulse. By alternating between time encoded and normal impulses, it is possible to determinate which of the received signals was send at an even or an uneven cycle. Faulty echo detection is prevented by this method, along with the possibility to double the sending frequency, which leads to twice the penetration depth. Furthermore it is possible to encode the ultrasonic impulse further by using amplitude modulation. With this mechanism, the received signal is spited into a measurement and a encoded signal. By doing so, it is possible to allocate time and volume information to the received signal. Because of this allocation, the occurrence of artifacts is further reduced, which leads to a higher quality of ultrasonic scans.
