The invention relates to a cyanide-free electrolyte being harmless to the environment and to health which makes feasible the production of black surface layers on light metals or on alloys of the latter, preferably titanium, remaining deeply-black and adhesive even after extreme changes in the ambient temperature and having nearly equal values of the optical absorptivity of radiation and of the thermal emission capability (the .alpha./.epsilon.-ratio is about 0.95) by means of the anodic oxidation by spark discharge (ANDF-method). These layers are absolutely X-amorphous and show, hence, an ideal optically isotropic behavior regarding the reflection of radiation. Due to their minmum evolution of gases they offer a high thermovacuum stability. The electrolyte consists of an ammoniacal solution of K.sub.2 H.sub.2 PO.sub.4 potassium dihydrogenphosphate and K.sub.2 CrO.sub.4 potassium chromate. The homogeneity of the optically black layers is ensured by not using fluoride ions and employing acetate ions. Such layers comprise titanium, chromium and copper in ratios of Cr:Ti=1: (1.9 to 2.2) and Cr:Cu=1:(0.8 to 1.3).

The present invention relates to transgenic pigs containing a dominant-negative incretin hormone receptor, namely the dominant-negative human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor. The present invention furthermore relates to uses of these transgenic pigs as clinically relevant animal model systems for studying the pathogenesis and novel therapies for diabetes mellitus type 2, particularly for the maintenance and expansion of pancreatic β-cell mass.

A testing apparatus for testing mobile telephones includes an antenna coupler, a holder and a testing device. The antenna coupler includes a printed circuit board upon one side of which is formed a slot antenna operative in a first frequency range and a dipole antenna operative in a second frequency range. The holder secures a mobile telephone under test in proximity to the antenna coupler. A coupler formed on a second side of the printed circuit board selectively supplies signals received by one of the antenna elements to the testing device. The testing device measures transmission and reception characteristics of the mobile telephone under test, including transmission phase error, frequency error, power and spectrum, and bit error rate.

A computing device includes a processing unit and a memory with instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a business software processing module that manages business application software for a plurality of businesses. The business processing software module comprises a customization module, a registration module and an activation module. The customization module stores and processes definitions for business solutions that permit a business application external to the computing device to be integrated with business application software included on the computing device. The registration module makes the business solutions available to users of the computing device. The activation module generates an activation token and a web page for each request to activate a business solution. For each activation request, the activation module redirects the web page to a URL specified in the business solution definition corresponding to the activation request.
摘要:
The invention relates to the examination of the attachment or detachment of living or dead cells, or cell-like particles, or other surface accumulations on surfaces, by means of plasmon resonance. The reflected light is evaluated such that two or more intensity minima of the reflected light occurring within a time frame are registered in a time dependant manner for different incident angles. The registered measurement signals reflect the respective amount of the surface accumulation. In case two intensity minima have occurred at the same time, valuable information about particular processes regarding the surface accumulation, for example regarding the adhesion of cells, can be obtained. Said information is of particular importance in the field of medicine/biology.
摘要:
A method, system and apparatus including a mechanism capable of performing a variety of operations, each operation having a respective power requirement and a power source capable of providing power to the mechanism at a variety of different levels corresponding to the operations being undertaken by the mechanism where the power source is regulated to at least provide a first lower power level sufficient for one or more operations requiring a lower power level and is increased to provide a higher power level as needed for one or more alternative operations requiring a higher power level.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine has an air intake system with an air intake pipe and which communicates with a combustion chamber of a cylinder as a function of a switch position of a gas inlet valve. Furthermore, a compressor is disposed in the air intake system and is embodied for the purpose of compressing a mass air flow. Also, a throttle valve is disposed in the air intake system downstream of the compressor and by which the compressed mass air flow into the air intake pipe can be throttled. The internal combustion engine furthermore has a differential pressure sensor which is disposed in the air intake system and is embodied for the purpose of measuring a differential pressure between a charge pressure that prevails downstream of the compressor and upstream of the throttle valve and an ambient pressure that prevails outside of the air intake system.
