The invention relates to a method and means for detecting the resorption activity of osteoclasts, in particular for use in medicine and in bioscience and pharmaceutical research. Previous methods for measuring the resorption activity of osteoclasts in vitro are difficult to quantify, are partially inflexible when used with different donor organisms and require special measuring devices for data acquisition. The method and kit according to the invention advantageously use a biomineralized matrix which contains calcium phosphate and was obtained in vitro by depositing calcium phosphate by means of osteoblasts. Osteoclasts are incubated on this matrix and the non-resorbed calcium phosphate is then quantified. The method according to the invention advantageously functions with osteoclasts of different organisms and cell types and can be easily quantified.

The invention relates to a device and a method for the detection and amplification of a primary signal, utilizing an intracellular communication system, and the use thereof for the detection of substances such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, hormones, metabolic intermediates, fermentation products, and so forth. The device according to the invention for the detection and amplification of a primary signal contains cells of a first type for which a gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of a signal molecule, is under the control of a promoter which is regulated by the primary signal, and cells of a second type for which a specific gene is under the control of a promoter which is regulated by the separated signal molecule, in such a way that the secretion of the signal molecule is induced by a primary signal taken up by a cell of the first type, and the primary signal is amplified by the cells of the second type by the expression of the specific gene under the control of the signal molecule.

The invention relates to a photoactive component, especially a solar cell, comprising organic layers and formed by at least one stacked pi, ni, and/or pin diode. The diodes are characterised in that they comprise at least one p-doped or n-doped transport layer having a larger optical band gap than that of the photoactive layer. The individual diodes are characterised by a high internal quantum yield, but can be optically thin (peak absorption

In a method for controlling mechanisms or technical systems, the mechanisms or technical systems to be controlled are stored in a controller with their states, and with associated signal formers of sensors and actuators, whereby starting from a defined reference state at the onset of the activation of the controller, the actual states signaled by the technical system via the sensors are continuously compared with the specified state, the specified state being stored in the controller, and, based on this comparison, every deviation from the specified state is identified in the technical system, and, when initiated, a new instruction that changes the state of the mechanisms or of the technical system updates the specified state for the comparison and monitors the time till the acknowledgment of the new state, and sensor signals and comparable information exclusively serve the state identification of elementary functions and state changes exclusively ensue upon the initiation of elementary instructions.

The invention relates to a device to determine effective pulmonary blood flow (PBF) by means of partial CO.sub.2 rebreathing. The device is characterized in that it comprises an endotracheal tube whose conduit leading from the patient to the respirator is divided up into two lanes between a controllable three-way valve (4) and a Y-piece; one lane builds a larger dead area (6) for CO.sub.2 rebreathing whereby, in order to measure CO.sub.2 elimination and end expiratory partial CO.sub.2 pressure a CO.sub.2 sensor (3) and a respiration flow sensor (1) are provided on the endotracheal tube of the patient. The calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow is provided by a microprocessor/controller (7) which also controls the three-way valve (4) which provides the switching between both lanes.
摘要:
A synchronous belt drive, with a high multiplication ratio for transforming a rotary movement into a translation or rotary movement, has at least two rows of teeth with different pitches interconnected by a toothed belt. The rows of teeth with different pitches engage wheels of at least one pair of wheels secured against independent rotation. The products of the number of teeth of the wheels and the pitch of the corresponding row of teeth differ at least slightly from each other. The pitch difference between the toothed belts gives the drive a high multiplication ratio. Very fine gradations and therefore high multiplication ratios may be achieved, even when the tooth modulus is high for reasons of resistance.

The invention concerns a high-grade, long-duration, organic fertilizer and a method of manufacturing it by the oxidative ammonolysis of industrial lignin. The fertilizer contains nitrogen in the form of ammonium compounds, normally hydrolyzable amides and more strongly bound organic nitrogen. The proportion of more strongly bound organic nitrogen is 55 to 85%, preferably 65 to 80%, relative to the total nitrogen content of the fertilizer. The manufacturing process uses industrial lignin precipitated under alkaline conditions from alkaline waste liquors, extracts or solutions. Preliminary tests have confirmed that this process gives a natural-like, high-grade, long-duration fertilizer similar to humus in character and with surprisingly good environmental compatibility.

A phase and phase/amplitude spatial light modulator arrangement for generating a complex-valued light field with a spatial light modulator, a phase element and an optical system. The phase and amplitude spatial light modulator arrangement is configured to generate a light field that is adjustable in amount and phase. A method realizes operation of a combined spatial light modulator for generating a complex-valued light field. Here, the method includes adapting an optical characteristic in several areas of a phase element. A further method realizes operation of an optical arrangement for modulating different light wavelengths by adjusting several wave influences in several areas of a phase modulator. A last method realizes operation of an optical arrangement by adjusting an amplitude spatial light modulator for modulating light intensities in at least two optical paths.

A method for producing bipolar plates for fuel cells, one metal strip or two metal strips is/are guided through a second or third device. The second device is designed to carry out fine cleaning and/or nitriding of the metal strip, and the third device carries out surface coating on one side of a surface with a metal layer that improves adhesion. Applying a carbon layer in a fourth device. The metal strips are then shaped, during which process channels are formed. The shaped metal strips are moved and positioned such that surface regions come into contact with one another. Joining is performed with a laser beam, which is directed into a gap between the shaped metal strips moved towards one another. The individual steps in the devices, like shaping and joining, are carried out in a continuous process.
