The purely optical compensation of errors in encoder readings allows for robust sensor design with alignment-free assembly of the encoder disc. Due to a diffractive compensation track the beam spot on the measuring track can be compensated prior to sensor signal generation.
The present invention relates to new water soluble single source intumescent flame retardants. The commonly used retardants are often seen as a health concern and tend to falsify the natural look of wood.
The Invention describes a novel class of kappa Opioid receptor (KOR) ligands which can be used for the therapy of a variety of human disorders.
The Invention describes novel analogues of 14-methoxymetopon(14-MM) a µpioid receptor (MOR) Ligand with a unique pharmacological Profile, for the Treatment of moderate-to-severe acute and chronoc pain.
sAXL (a soluble cleavage product of the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL)
represents a novel biomarker allowing the detection of very early stage
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
The ultrasound sensor enables 3D measurement (distance and bearing) of multiple reflection points in air. The compact design delivers objectindependent results with high accuracy. Applicability for complex environments is ensured by construction.
A new generation of biocompatible and biodegradab le polymers for tissue engineering has been developed. The liquid precursors can be either cured in vivo or printed by additive manufacturing technology.
NeuNAc is used as a precursor for the production of neuraminidase inhibitors, which are used for the treatment of viral diseases. {e.g. drug Relenza). A new process was developed at the TU Vienna combining the advantage of a single-step process and using the cheap and renewable substrate chitin.
The core of this invention is a combination of analytical and experimental methods, which allow a fast, cheap and easy way to identify different observable physiologic states in a BMP process.
The present invention provides a novel procedure for a selective and quantitative purification of itaconic and similar dicarboxylic acids especially from mixtures thereof from aqueous solutions via adsorption techniques. The technology enables the separation of dicarboxylic acids (e.g. itaconic, succinic, malic, maleic, fumaric acid) or of fractions thereof from biological and/or chemical processes via adsorption technology. On behalf of RWTH Aachen University, PROvendis offers access to rights for commercial use as well as the opportunity for further co-development.
Due to the role of epigenetics in a vast array of diseases, the study of epigenetic mechanisms has become one of the most rapidly growing fields of biology.
Amongst others, epigenetic alterations involve post-transcriptional histone modifications (PTMs). Occurring in complex patterns, they form the so-called ‘histone code’. In order to decipher said code and unravel its involvement in disease, the characterization of co-occurring histone modifications is considered to be an important cornerstone.
An innovative method now allows the detection of co-occurring histone modifications in one single step. Contrary to conventional methods, the technique offers much improved sensitivity, is easy to perform and features consistent quality.
Frontal Polymerization initiated by a stimulus of light/ heat at the surface is a technique in which the polymerization heat is used for the cleavage of a thermal initiator which can reinitiate the polymerization reaction in adjacent regions. This effect leads to a moving localized reaction zone which is referred as reaction front.
A simple, feasible method for the production of laminate composites, consisting of a perforated substrate and a polymer membrane, now allows for the production of tactile displays the size of a computer screen. The procedure developed at Furtwangen University now enables the coating of large substrates with a high-quality membrane film, without creating air bubbles at the bond interface. The new method is environmentally-friendly, as the carrier is reusable and no chemicals are required to reduce adhesion. The procedure can be integrated into commercially available lamination systems.
Here we offer a technology that allows formation of III-V-material vertical nanowire lasers grown directly on a silicon wafer as a substrate. This opens the door to CMOS-conform production of telecom-lasers as well as new logical chip architectures.
Fatigue tests can be implemented for stents in different forms and fabrics, even grafts and drug eluting stents. The device is working at 20 kHz and can generate up to 50.000 load cycles per second. Test time is reduced from weeks to hours.
The invention provides a surgical tool, which generates a precise, pre-defined cut surface so that a good fit between the contact surfaces of the prosthesis and the bone is ensured.
The removal is affected by the use of a tool that has a vibrating unit and a holding part, which is important for directing to the bone.
There is an oscillating stroke movement along an axis parallel to the mounting direction of the joint prosthesis, as well as rotational movement about the same axis. The moving tool head has lying surfaces at an angle to one another, which are then adapted to the contact surfaces of joint prostheses. In order to produce defined-sectional areas, the holding part is fixed in the bone intramedullary, to ensure a guide of the surgical tool with fastening elements.
