摘要:
A charge balancing circuit (CBC) adapted to be connected to an electrode (E) and to a stimulation source (CS) is provided. The charge balancing circuit (CBC) comprises an electrode terminal (ET) for receiving an electrode voltage (V E ), an amplifier (A) coupled to the electrode terminal (ET) and adapted to amplify and invert the electrode voltage (V E ) for generating an intermediate voltage (V in ) and a compensation stage (CP). The compensation stage (CP) is adapted to generate an output current (I out ) if the electrode voltage (V E ) lies outside a specified safety range and to generate the output current (I out ) depending on the intermediate voltage (V in ). The compensation stage (CP) is further adapted to supply the output current (I out ) to the electrode terminal (ET) for driving the electrode voltage (V E ) towards and/or into the safety range.

The present invention relates to the preparation and use of reversibly PEGylated nanocarriers. The reversibly PEGgylated nanocarrier system comprises an inner core comprising or consisting of a nanoparticle and/or at least one pharmaceutical compound; optionally at least one lipid bilayer on the surface of the inner core; a first ligand bound to the surface of said inner core, or if present, to the surface of the at least one lipid bilayer; a second ligand bound to the first ligand, the second ligand being covalently bound to poly(ethylene glycol) or a derivative thereof. The reversibly PEGgylated nanocarrier system is characterized in that binding of the second ligand to the first ligand is non-covalent and reversible. Pharmaceutical compositions and use of such compounds and compositions in the field of e.g. cancer therapy, gene therapy, inflammatory diseases and pain therapy are also disclosed.
摘要:
Es ist ein eine Empfangseinrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Betreiben dieser Empfangseinrichtung vorgesehen, bei der ein Signal in zwei getrennte Signalteile aufgeteilt wird. Die beiden Signalteile werden gleichzeitig demoduliert und von den demodulierten Signalen die Differenz gebildet. Nach der Differenzbildung wird aus dem Differenzsignal eine Information gewonnen und mit einer vorgegebenen Information verglichen. Bei Übereinstimmung der gewonnenen und der verglichenen Information wird ein Aufwecksignal generiert.
摘要:
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a fluidic module. The fluidic module has a first measurement chamber, a second measurement chamber, a first fluid inlet duct connected to the first measurement chamber, a second fluid inlet duct connected to the second measurement chamber, a first fluid outlet duct connected to the first measurement chamber, and a second fluid outlet duct connected to the second measurement chamber. The fluidic module is designed such that, when the fluidic module is rotated about a center of rotation, a liquid is driven centrifugally via the first fluid inlet duct into the first measurement chamber and via the second fluid inlet duct into the second measurement chamber, such that the liquid driven into the first measurement chamber and the liquid driven into the second measurement chamber causes a compressible medium already present in the first measurement chamber and in the second measurement chamber to be compressed. The fluidic module is furthermore designed such that, when the rotational frequency is reduced, with resulting expansion of the compressible medium, the liquid present in the first measurement chamber is driven out of the first measurement chamber via the first fluid outlet duct and the liquid present in the second measurement chamber is driven out of the second measurement chamber via the second fluid outlet duct.

The present invention relates to a neural implant comprising a biomaterial having an outer surface with a stochastic nanoroughness (Rq), and the application of said stochastic nanoroughness in the diagnosis and/or treatment of a neurological disorder, such as, for example, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, glioblastoma and/or for disrupting and/or preventing glial scars in the context of mammalian mechanosensing ion channels selected from the family of PIEZO-1 and PIEZO-2 ion channels.
