Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) have segmented configuration consisting of macrodiol as flexible soft block, and a combination of diisocyante and chain extender as a rigid hard block. Advantages are suitable mechanics, biocompatibility and biodegradability.
The present invention relates to the use of Tyrosylprotein Sulfotransferase (TPST) and addresses the challenges of posttranslational modifications in plant-based protein expression systems by enabling human-type Protein sulfation in plants.
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.
Improved sprayer for the application of pesticides. The invention ensures that yawing and rolling movements of a field sprayer are compensated, that output quantities of such chemicals are evenly distributed in the field.
The novel system for combined diagnosis and therapy, described here, allows for a radiographic examination for diagnostic purposes and therapeutic irradiation to be implemented using only a single device. This combination of therapy and diagnostics ? theranostics ? provides great advantages towards the current course of action, esp. time- and cost-reduction.
Within a project of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung a novel surface technology has been developed that can hold gas molecules between a surface and surrounding liquids. Such a material could be extremely useful in shipbuilding rendering toxic anti-fouling coatings obsolete and simultanously reducing frictional resistance between vessel and seawater, thus saving fuel.
The innovation is a device for workpiece orientation that exactly positions the tool during the transformation process for its adaption. (E.g. sawing, bending, welding, drilling, grinding, etc
The present invention includes a measuring system which is specifically engineered for the attachment of the device “Polar Equine RS800 CX” to large animals. It consists of an elastic stretch material which does not restrict the freedom of movement and breathing during the measurement. The measuring belt contains wide velcro-fastener and buckle systems and can thus be adapted to the individual chest sizes of large animals. It also contains leather bags in which the electrodes, the transmitter and, if necessary, the receiver can be stowed in order to protect them from environmental influences. The leather bags are attached to the measuring belt by using velcrostraps. Thereby they can be positioned variably along the belt at different positions. The belt system has already been completed with the help of a saddler. Its function – especially its fitting – has been proven in case of longterm measurements (for example over a period of 24 hours). It is also be suited for field measurements.
Teach-In-Programming of robots is faced with a fundamental challenge: binding in external hardware und synchronizing robots with diverse hardware components within a simple programming environment. The present solution allows for intuitive programming of multiple robots and adapting existing programs from pre-existing offline programming. Movements and other actions are displayed in a clear diagram representation, from which movement durations or cycle time lines can be seen. There is the possibility to synchronize different components and to edit the recording of movements and to train (“teach-in”).
The newly developed sheet metal composite material can be used for a wide range of applications in the automotive sector as well as in the field of mechanical engineering and manufacturing of deep-drawn part. In relation to its weight, the material possesses a high level of rigidity which can be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
The new hybrid material consists of two individual panels bonded via a viscoelastic layer, which has damping properties. Because the material has one plane outer surface paint finish can be applied and flow properties can be enhanced by adding nanostructures, for example.
Researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main have developed a portfolio of silylene-based chemistry allowing for the synthesis of defined oligo- and polysilanes from trichlorosilane and hexachlorodisilane. The combination of the new technologies offers an alternative to the conventional energy-consuming silicon chemistry and access to new compounds.
Researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt developed a new method to increase proliferation and viability of immune cells, e.g. natural killer (NK) cells, derived from patients or donors. The obtained NK cell preparations are currently further evaluated for treatment of leukemia patients.
This invention describes a new joining procedure for creating hybrid connections between metallic and non-metallic mating components, so called multi-material design.
Advantages of this innovation are amongst others the short process times (a few seconds), the preservation of the fibers in the fiber-reinforced compound (no mechanical or thermal destruction) as well as the increase in head tensile strength (vertical stress direction to the component surface through the pin head).
The technology offers a new one-pot reaction to prepare efficiently various aryl substituted p-hydroxy styrene derivatives from phenol derivatives and pyruvic acid as starting materials. The para-vinylated phenols of the enzymatic / biocatalytic reaction can be used as monomers for the production of polymers, likely novel polystyrene or polyphenol derivatives. Properties of the resulting polmyers might offer the use as flame retardant material or in electronic industry.
New treatment concept against two devastating honeybee larval diseases, i.e., American and European foulbrood (AFB, EFB), based on the natural compound lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPC exhibits strong antibacterial activity against the causative agents of AFB and EFB and LPC supplementation to honeybee larvae was proven to reduce the outbreak of AFB significantly. The utilization of an LPC based therapy contributes to improve environmental sustainability in honeybee health and may offer new business perspectives in veterinary medicine.
