Abstract:
Concept for transmitting payload data (112-m) from a transmitter (110-m) to a receiver (120) via a communication channel within a time interval (T), wherein a plurality of channel-coded data packets (210-n) are generated from the payload data (112-m) within the time interval (T), wherein each of the channel-coded data packets comprises packet core data (212-n) corresponding to a packet identification of the respective channel-coded data packet, and wherein the packet core data is coded with a channel code of higher redundancy than the payload data (112-m). The plurality of channel-coded data packets (210-n) are sent, within the time interval (T), without any return channel to the receiver (120), which comprises a decoder (DEC) adapted to decode packet core data (212-1) of a first received channel-coded data packet (210-1) of the time interval (T), and, if error-free decoding of the first channel-coded data packet (210-1) so as to obtain the payload data (112-m) fails, to decode packet core data (212-2) of at least one second received channel- coded data packet (210-2) of the time interval (T) so as to determine a suitable further channel-coded data packet of the time interval for combination with the first channel-coded data packet so as to obtain, on account of the combination, an increased code gain for decoding of the payload data.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product for providing and processing a human interface description. A user submits data (170) by using a human interface description (160). The data (170) comprise status information of at least one layout element of human interface description (160). The computer system receives (480) the data (170). Optionally, the computer system stores (485) the data (170) in a data instance (150). The data instance (150) can be modified by an application program via interface (155). Preferably, the computer system provides the human interface description (160) by merging (470) a layout template (140-1) with the data instance (150). Preferably, the data instance (150) is instantiated from a data description (140-2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for dosing and dry nebulization of nebulizable material (12) chosen from the group comprising anti-infective agents and immunomodulators, comprising a nebulization channel (3) , which has a first attachment piece and a second attachment piece, and a source of compressed carrier gas connected to the first attachment piece via a valve (16) for the purpose of sending a carrier gas pressure pulse into the nebulization channel. The device is characterized in that between the first attachment piece and second attachment piece, and above the nebulization channel, a reservoir (10) open only towards the nebulization channel, which contains the nebulizable material (12), is connected to the nebulizaton channel such that it is gas-tight with respect to the environment, and that, when the valve is closed, a pressure compensation (22) takes place in the nebulization channel and in the reservoir. The invention also relates to a method for dosing and dry nebulization of such a nebulizable material by means of such a device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a powder-metallurgical prismatic cutting insert (1) for use in a machining process. Said cutting insert (1) is configured from parts (2) that are positioned in an exact fit in relation to one another and are interconnected in a material union, obtained by thermal treatment. According to the invention, in order to position the individual parts (2) in an exact fit, at least some sections of the connecting surfaces (3) of said parts comprise an interlocking gearing, at least part of said respective sections consisting of multiple rows of teeth (4), whereby the adjacent rows of teeth (4) of one section run approximately parallel to one another.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a transgenic plant, whereby the capacity for storing undesired nitrogen compounds, especially amino acids, in the storage organs is reduced in comparison with the wild type. Said method consists of the following steps; introduction of at least one DNA-sequence and/or at least one RNA-sequence corresponding to the DNA-sequence and/or one mixed sequence made of DNA and RNA nucleotide corresponding to the DNA-sequence with a coding region for an amino acid transporter or parts thereof into a plant cell. The DNA and/or RNA sequence and/or mixed sequence is used in a sense or antisense orientation and the expression of an endogenic amino acid transporter gene is prevented or reduced. The method then regenerates a plant from said plant cells, whereby the DNA and/or RNA sequence is a sequence from Beta vulgaris.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a compressed air inhaler for the pulmonary application of a liposomal powder aerosol that carries active agents or is uncharged. The aim of the invention is to provide an inhaler by means of which the pulmonary application of especially liposomes that carry active agents is possible without forced breathing manoeuvres and by means of which the active agent can be transferred to the desired place of action in a sufficient amount without the active agent escaping. To this end, said compressed air inhaler comprises a receptacle (20) for the aqueous dispersion of liposomes. The liposomes carrying the active agents are dispersed in water in said receptacle. The receptacle is connected to an anatomising nozzle (1) and to a drying unit (17) via a device that doses liquids (19), whereby the drying unit can be an atomising chamber for spray drying the liposomes. An outlet (18) and a mouth piece are joined to said drying unit. The anatomising nozzle (1) is provided with separate supply channels (14, 16) for the compressed air and the dispersion of the liposomes (fig.1). The invention also relates to a novel powder aerosol consisting of liposomes or nanoparticles.
Abstract:
In order to control plant pests using plant-pest destroying microorganisms, the microorganisms are enclosed in an external cross-linked sheath with a nutrient medium, the external sheath being so designed that it is destroyed or becomes permeable because of the pressure of the multiplying microorganisms inside.
Abstract:
The invention relates to aerosolized and humidified particles comprising a therapeutically active substance which can be obtained by suspending dry inhalable particles in a carrier gas, adding water vapor and causing condensation of water on the particles. The invention further relates to methods to generate these particles, and apparatus useful to carry out such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to method of eliminating gaseous pollutants in a gas stream (12), such as flue gas stream, by reacting the gaseous pollutants with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (24) in the presence of a catalyst (20) under conditions sufficient to convert the gaseous pollutants into products including one or more of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and water. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a method of eliminating gaseous pollutants in a gas stream in which the gaseous pollutants include one or more of NOx, SOx, and combinations thereof. Additional pollutants that may be present in the gas stream and that may be eliminated in accordance with embodiments of the present invention include ozone (03) and carbonyl sulfide (COS).
