Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for data processing. In one implementation, a data processing system includes storage means for storing sets of account identifiers, each of the sets of account identifiers being assigned a set of control parameters. The data processing system may also include an account management system that stores account data of accounts that are identified by the account identifiers, interface means coupled to the account management system, and one or more sets of application programs that are adapted to process account data of accounts identified by at least one of the one or more sets of account identifiers using the set of control parameters assigned to the at least one of the one or more sets of account identifiers. The interface means may obtain the account data from the account management system on request of one of the application programs.

An organic light-emitting diode (1), comprising a layer stack (2) for emitting electromagnetic radiation (6). An electrically conductive first connection layer (4) is arranged on a first surface of the layer stack (2) and an electrically conductive second connection layer (5) at least predominantly transparent to a characteristic wavelength of the emittable electromagnetic radiation (6) is arranged on a second surface of the layer stack (2). The organic light-emitting diode is characterised by a conductive contact structure (7) arranged on the opposite side of the first connection layer (4) from the layer stack, which contact structure is connected electrically to the second connection layer (5) in the region of a plurality of openings (12) in the first connection layer (4). Also disclosed is a contact arrangement (15) for a two-dimensional, optically active element and to a method of producing organic light-emitting diodes (1).
Abstract:
A radiation-emitting arrangement comprises, in particular, a carrier element (1) having an at least partly non-transparent main surface (10) and arranged on the carrier element (1), an organic radiation-emitting component (2) having an organic layer sequence (23) with an active region between an at least partly transparent first electrode (21) and an at least partly transparent second electrode (22). The active region (29) is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation (91, 93) in a switched-on operating state. The radiation-emitting arrangement has a radiation exit area (3) for emitting the electromagnetic radiation (92, 93) on that side of the organic radiation-emitting component (2) which faces away from the carrier element. (1) The at least partly non-transparent main surface (10) of the carrier element (1) is perceptible by an external observer through the radiation exit area (3) in a switched-off operating state of the organic radiation-emitting component (2).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to monocotyledon plant cells and plants which are genetically modified, wherein the genetic modification consists of the introduction of an extraneous nucleic acid molecule which codes for a protein with the biological activity of an R1 protein. The present invention further relates to means and methods for the production thereof. Plant cells and plants of this type synthesise a modified starch, which is characterised in that it has an increased phosphate content and/or a modified phosphorylation pattern and/or an increased final viscosity in an RVA profile and/or a reduced peak temperature in DSC analysis and/or an increased gel strength in the texture analysis compared with starch from corresponding non-genetically modified monocotyledon plants. Therefore, the present invention also relates to the starch which is synthesised from the plant cells and plants according to the invention, and to methods of producing said starch. The present invention further relates to wheat flours which contain said modified starches, and to food products and bakery products which contain said wheat flours and/or starch.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) comprising fixing elements which are provided with points of fracture, in particular in a vehicle. The aim of said invention is to provide said heat exchanger with restorable points of fracture and to make it possible to easily reassemble them after the separation thereof. For this purpose, the inventive heat exchanger (1) is characterised in that at least one fixing element is provided with a first and second area (6, 7; 12, 14) and with a quick release coupling therebetween; two areas (6, 12) form an inseparable component of the heat exchanger (1); the two areas (6, 7; 12, 14) are fixable to each other by a positive connection when the quick release coupling is closed; the coupling systems of one of the areas (6, 7; 12, 14) are provided with at least one point of fracture and in that the coupling systems provided with at least one point of fracture are arranged on the area (7, 14) which a detachable from said heat exchanger.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a connector (3) for connecting a flow pipe leading to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle to a feed pump. Said connector comprises an elbowed connecting sleeve (7) which can be rotationally fixed in various angular positions in a receiver (6). Said connecting sleeve (7) is positively fixed in the receiver (6) by a catch means (9). In this way, the forces acting on the flow pipe are kept at a distance from a seal pertaining to the connecting sleeve (7).

Abstract:
An ejector pump for a delivery unit provided in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle has a nozzle produced integrally with a mixing tube. The mixing tube is shaped in the form of a tubular cylinder, so that virtually the entire ejector pump may be produced from plastic in a mold allowing axial demolding. The nozzle is therefore aligned,exactly with respect to the mixing tube. The ejector pump consequently has a particularly high efficiency.
