The present invention relates to new polymerisable fluorosurfactants. Commonly used surfactants are affected by phase out regulations or require tedious synthesis.

The present invention relates to a new, effective, price competitive, and environmentally preferable ionic fluorosurfactants for a broad range of applications.

The innovative piezoelectric energy transfer unit is ideally suitable for devices, which generate a strong magnetic field. This field can be used as an external supporting field for the energy transfer unit.

We offer compounds consisting of alkaline salts and earth alka-line salts usable for treatment and prophylaxis of dermatitis and other malassezia-associated diseases.

Surface activation or cleaning by cold plasma treatment is getting more and more attention. Current plasma based solutions have mostly fixed electrodes, which are only suited for planar surfaces. Scientists at the HAWK developed a plasma device with flexible electrodes, which allow treatment of irregular surfaces.

Inventors of Saarland University created a new catalytic procedure for the chlorination of alcohols with a variety of advantages, like an excellent waste balance. Substances produced by the new method are for example Neryl chloride, 3-Methyl-3-butenyl chloride, Geranyl chloride and Prenyl chloride.

Scientists of Saarland University and Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg have developed novel water soluble 6-thioalkyl-cyclodextrins, which form highly stable complexes with APIs. The new cyclodextrins show low ion strength in solution and no pH dependence. They can be obtained in well-defined stoichiometry, no statistic, randomly substituted products are generated, thereby simplifying quality control and analysis. Even highly volatile substances such as the anesthetics halothane or sevoflurane can be complexed. For example, one of the new 6-thioalkyl-cyclodextrins showed the highest binding affinities sevoflurane and halothane, much higher than native cyclodextrins or and known cyclodextrin derivatives.

Die neue zweiachsige Positioniereinrichtung mit aktiver Impulsentkoppelung ermöglicht schwingungsunterstütztes Bearbeiten von sprödharten Werkstoffen wie Keramik, Glas, Siliziumwerkstoffen oder gehärterem Stahl mit bestehenden Bearbeitungszentren.

The new bridge construction method consists in building the bridge girders in a vertical position and in rotating the bridge girders into the final horizontal position. The span of the bridge girders is reduced by the compression struts, which enables considerable savings in construction materials.

The current treatments for tuberculosis and leishmaniosis have many drawbacks: long treatment duration,appearance of resistances,toxic side effects. Our new treatment suggests an immune activator based on a synthetic analogue of an active glycolipid.

A septum is an electromagnet, pulsed with high electricity. This sort of magnet is used at the transitions from one storage ring to the next one.
Possible scopes of application of the invention might be the use for accelerators in medicine or in future large-scale research facilities.

The technology comprises a method for determination of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) concentration directly in vivo in the eye by use of an implantable, semi-permeable biosensor.

There are only 102 people living around the world that have been distinguished with most renowned prizes in mathematics and computer science: the Abel Prize,…

The Institute of Combustion and Power Plant Technology (IFK) of the University of Stuttgart has developed a measuring device for use in coal power plants. The device allows for permanent monitoring of the conditions inside the boiler, particularly of soot deposition.
Besides determining the deposition rate inside the boiler, growth characteristics, adhesion, ash qualities and waste disposal behavior with deposit as well as the extent to which these can be cleaned using soot blowers can be judged. Thus, the measuring device can indicate potential for optimization, e.g. of coal compositon in the fuel feed.
The prototype has been tested successfully.

The new method allows high laser intensities of any level. Thus, the novel backscattering sources generate X and Gamma-radiation with highest brilliance and intensity and low bandwidth.

New technical solution to manage targeted communication between team members and to minimize noise in the operating theatre. This reduces stress for the operating staff and concomitantly mistakes. We offer the Silent Operating Theatre Optimisation System – “SOTOS”. Prototype tested and available.

Food-borne salmonella infections are mostly arising from poultry or pigs. While actions have been taken for poultry there has only been minor success for a pig vaccine. Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover developed a marker vaccine for pigs, which allows differentiation of vaccinated and infected animals.

The present innovation provides lid and housing of a container with magnets in order to connect those reversibly and safely with each other.

More than 90% of drugs passing through today’s preclinical cell cultures studies fail to meet the desired efficacy or safety. Tissue engineering has undergone exciting progress and more similar to the in vivo situation. Scientists at University of Göttingen developed a new device for automated tissue engineering & drug testing.

We offer a electromyogramm (EMG) electrode for the chronic percutaneous implantation for a robust and reliable electromyogram detection in myolectric control of e.g. prosthesis. It solves reliability issues related to skin conditions, electrode lift-offs and variations of electrode positioning. No wireless transmission is needed, they can be directly connected external amplifiers.
