Abstract

A rechargeable battery having a dilute halogenated cationic electrolyte additive that has decomposition potentials higher than those of solvent and anions. These additives utilizes electrostatic attraction between halogenated cations and a negatively charged anode, creating a halogen-rich interphase layer at the electrode surfaces. A robust, halogen-rich interfacial layer is formed at the anode, enabling stable cycling of high-capacity anode including, but not limited to, Li-metal. For Li-metal anodes a dendrite-free deposition of dense Li-metal with very high plating/stripping efficiency is achieved. A millimolar addition of halogenated cations improves the oxidation stability of ether-based electrolytes and suppresses the corrosion of the aluminum current collectors, allowing the cycling of battery cells that use high-voltage cathodes.

Abstract

A system for frequency conversion of laser pump radiation includes an optical element for frequency conversion of lasers or laser beams with power scalability. The element has a nonlinear birefringent, thin plate crystal. A pump beam generates frequency-shifted radiation. Phase or quasi-phase matching conditions are in the crystal between beams. Frontside and backside of the crystal have high-reflective and partially-reflective coatings, obtaining intensity enhancement of the pump and frequency-converted radiation, and maintaining relative phase delay between beams, maximizing conversion efficiency. The crystal contacts a heat sink through the high-reflective coating, minimizing temperature inhomogeneity in the crystal. Intrinsic longitudinal heat flow provides power scalability. The element, used intra-cavity, acts as a wavelength-selective component forcing laser operation on resonance of the element, maximizing frequency conversion. The wavelength selectivity allows single-frequency operation of high-power lasers with intra-cavity frequency conversion.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a kinematic variable (v, P, a) of a rail vehicle (31). In the method, image data (BD) comprising a sequence of images of the surroundings of the rail vehicle (31) is captured using an on-board image-capturing unit (32), and additional sensor data is collected, which comprises kinematic sensor data (ZSD) and/or image data (BD) from at least one additional image-capturing unit (33). Key points (SP) are detected in the collected image data (BD). Furthermore, a first depth value (TW1) of a key point (SP) is determined on the basis of the additional sensor data and on the basis of the sequence of image data (BD) for each image of the sequence of images (BD). A key point comparison of key points (SP) of different images of the sequence of images of the image data (BD) of the single camera (32) is also carried out. In addition, the position (P-LM) of a key point (SP) identified as a landmark (LM) is estimated by triangulation on the basis of key points (SP) of successive images which have been identified as identical during the key point comparison, to initialise the landmark (LM). An improved position value (PV-LM) of the landmark (LM) is determined and a kinematic variable (v, P, a) is determined in a joint optimisation process on the basis of a weighted fusion of the estimated position (P-LM) and the first depth value (TW1). The invention also relates to a determining device (20). A rail vehicle (31) is additionally described.

Abstract

1. Method for connecting scaffold structures for tissue engineering applications, implants and transplants in surgery by means of layer-by-layer methods. 2.1 In tissue engineering applications, the ideal tissue adhesive should secure the relevant construct in the wound bed and facilitate, and if possible, promote the integration of the implant or transplant into the surrounding healthy tissue. In doing this, the tissue adhesive must not hinder the natural healing processes. 2.2 The solution according to the invention allows the targeted production of modular tissue constructs by the connection of porous membranes, woven fibres, pressed or sponge-type structures, particles or hydrogels with the aid of layer-by-layer (LbL) methods. Said method according to the invention of combining porous scaffold structures, membranes, structures consisting of woven fibres or pressed structures, particles and hydrogels, in a modular manner, to form complex tissue constructs, and of transferring these into tissue defects, is based on the coating of said shaped bodies with polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) which allow the adherence or bonding of neighbouring shaped bodies by chemical or biochemical processes. 3. The invention relates to the use of tissue adhesives in surgery, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract

A learning unit generates a function table indicating the relationship between the class number and position information of an object and the probability of appearance of the object for each small area image pattern of a code book, calculates a sharing matrix indicating the commonality of a feature amount between the classes, makes a tree diagram in which the classes with a similar feature amount are clustered, and calculates the weight of each node in the tree diagram for each small area image pattern. The recognition processing unit compares image data captured by a camera with the code book, selects the closest small area image pattern, extracts the class related to the node with the smallest weight among the nodes with a weight equal to or greater than a threshold value, and votes the position information of the small area image pattern for the class, thereby recognizing the object.

Abstract

Provided are a device and a method for action prediction, capable of accurately estimating a movement action of a movable body. The action prediction device creates a likelihood map representing the adequacy of the next velocity vector of a pedestrian, on the basis of a photographed image of the pedestrian, and then, converts the likelihood map into a probability density map representing the probability density regarding a position of the pedestrian after a unit time. The action prediction device arranges a plurality of hypotheses in the field having a high probability density on the probability density map, and calculates a plurality of predicted moving courses corresponding to the hypotheses. The hypothesis in this case corresponds to a single point on the probability density map and means that the pedestrian moves at the velocity vector corresponding to the point during the next unit time. Therefore, a predicted moving course can be obtained from the velocity vector.

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for determining the state, state changes, and/or condition changes of a potted plant and for indicating the determined state of said object to the owner or user thereof, wherein the system and method locally determine at least one physical and/or chemical parameter on top of on the side of or in the immediate vicinity of the plant (1) to be monitored by means of preferably several sensors or sensing elements (3). Said physical and/or chemical parameter is processed into a coded digital parameter signal and transmitted wirelessly, optionally by means of intermediate stages, to a central processor, which determines a statement about the state of the plant (1) from said coded digital parameter signal and other digital as an optical and/or acoustic indication of the current or prognosticated state of the plant/object (1). The sensation of the object is preferably simulated, which aims at triggering emotions in the user himself, for example, by means of language- and culture-independent icons. The data are determined, processed, and transmitted without significant time delay, in other words, in real time in principle. In the central processing, the data can be combined with further information, for example, the requirements profile of the object, historical data, data of similar objects, climate data, or weather forecasts. The user of the system can automatically be contacted if certain events are ascertained for the monitored object, if for example, an unfavorable forecast or a harmful parameter is ascertained. The sensors or sensing elements and further components are preferably placed in a plant container, an “intelligent flowerpot” so to speak, in such a way that the sensors or sensing elements are undetectable or barely detectable. Said “intelligent flowerpot” can comprise a “mobile sensor clip” as an essential component in addition to sensors arranged therein or thereon.

Abstract

A sample support plate (100) for a variety of possible applications, including MALDI mass spectrometry, is disclosed. A plurality of spatially separated sample recipient sites (101) are arranged on the surface of a substrate. The recipient sites are mutually separated by areas having a different wettability than the recipient sites. They are arranged in a plurality of rows consisting of a plurality of recipient sites whose centers are regularly spaced along a first direction with a predetermined periodicity (D1), the rows being regularly spaced along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction with a predetermined centerline distance (D2). Each recipient site has a maximum lateral dimension that is preferably smaller than the diameter of a beam spot (104) of a desorption laser beam (103). In order to enable unsupervised splitting of bulk liquid samples into droplets at the sample recipient sites, the periodicity along the first direction and the centerline distance along the second direction are chosen such that each recipient sites has a next neighbor at a distance that is less than or equal to three times the minimum lateral dimension of each recipient site. In preferred embodiments, the sample recipient sites are arranged in a checkerboard-type pattern or in rows that are inclined relative to the edges of the sample support plate.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the determination of an MRM or SRM assay for a protein of interest, a peptide of interest, or a group of proteins/peptides of interest or a whole proteome. It essentially includes the following steps: (1) a list of proteins of interest is selected and for each member at least one or a list of candidate proteotypic peptides is derived (2) this at least one peptide is synthesized/generated essentially without subsequent purification; (3) this at least one unpurified peptide is analyzed by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) preferably coupled to liquid chromatography (LC-SRM) or analogous techniques; (4) validation and/or optimisation of the corresponding assay of the at least one peptide with determination of the SRM coordinates for a peptide/protein of interest and/or of a regulator of interest is achieved. A protein sample of interest is enzymatically digested and can then be analyzed in SRM mode or time-constrained SRM mode, using elution times to trigger acquisition of the set of selected SRM traces, thus drastically increasing the throughput. The analysis allows to detect and quantify the set of peptides/proteins of interest. The method additionally relates to a tagging strategy to achieve absolute quantification of the peptides/proteins of interest at low-budget and high-throughput.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel process for the remote plasma surface treatment of substrate particles at atmospheric pressure. The invention is motivated by the urge to overcome major drawbacks of particle treatment in low pressure plasmas and in-situ particle treatment at atmospheric pressure. The former requires complex and mostly expensive vacuum installations and vacuum locks usually prohibiting continuous processing. Independent of the system pressure, in-situ plasma treatment causes particle charging and therefore undesirable interaction with the electric field of the discharge, which is seen to contribute to the process of reactor clogging. Additionally, the filamentary discharges modes of atmospheric pressure plasmas are inflicted with inhomogeneous surface treatment. Furthermore, short radical lifetimes at elevated pressures complicate a remote plasma treatment approach as widely used in low pressure applications. The key- element of the invention is that by reducing the dimension of the atmospheric discharge arrangement to the micrometer range, transonic flow conditions can be achieved in the discharge zone while maintaining moderate flow rates. The resulting superimposition of high drift velocity in the gas flow and the inherent diffusion movement is to prolong the displacement distance of activated species, thus making a remote plasma treatment of substrate particles feasible and economically interesting. The circumferential arrangement of e.g. micro discharge channels around the treatment zone of variable length allows a remote plasma treatment independently of the discharge mode and benefits additionally from the aerodynamic focusing of a particle-gas stream to the centre, reducing reactor clogging. Furthermore, taking advantage of non-thermal discharges, there is no restriction of the concept of the outlined invention in the material properties of the particulate solids especially not with regard to the treatment of temperature sensitive materials as often encountered in polymer or pharmaceutical industries. In conclusion, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment close to ambient gas temperature as well as continuous processing is a specialty of the invention disclosed here.

Abstract

For retrieving information based on images, a first image is taken (S1 ) using a digital camera associated with a communication terminal (1). Query data related to the first image is transmitted (S3) via a communication network (2) to a remote recognition server (3). In the remote recognition server (3) a reference image is identified (S4) based on the query data. Subsequently, in the remote recognition server (3), a Homography is computed (S5) based on the reference image and the query data, the Homography mapping the reference image to the first image. Moreover, in the remote recognition server(3), a second image is selected (S6) and a projection image is computed (S7) of the second image using the Homography. By replacing a part of the first image with at least a part of the projection image, an augmented image is generated (S8, S10) and displayed (S11) at the communication terminal (1). Efficient augmentation of the first image taken with the camera is made possible by remaining in the planar space and dealing with two-dimensional images and objects only.

A sealing system for blocking or attenuating microwave energy (14) between two environments or regions of space (1, 2) includes an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) seal (20) mounted within an opening (3) in the partition (4) that separates the two environments or regions of space (1, 2) from each other. The EBG seal (20) consists of an EBG structure (21) secured to one side of the opening (3), an electrically conducting surface (12) secured to the other side of the opening, and a dielectric volume (11) between the EBG structure (21) and the electrically conducting surface (12). Transmission spectral response of the EBG seal (20) features one or more distinct stop bands (bandgaps), as shown in Fig. 1 B, that the seal (20) operates in. Said EBG structure especially refers to any metallodielectric structure with substantially periodic metallization and featuring inherent frequency bands where propagation of electromagnetic energy is forbidden and allowed. Typical EBG structure may consist of substantially periodically-spaced electrically conducting patches (31) placed on, or embedded in, a dielectric layer (32) that is backed by an electrically conducting surface (33). The electrically conducting patches (31) may be connected to the electrically conducting surface by electrically conducting posts (34).

In the composite element (13), the thickness (ds) of the substrate (12) is at least five times and in particular between ten and a hundred times the thickness dD of the thin film (10). The composite element (13) can be successfully used in a miniaturised electrochemical device, in particular in a solid oxide fuel cell SOFC (18), a sensor (36) or as a gas separation membrane (17).
