Abstract

The method for determining damage-related information of a technical system (100) comprises a step of providing first information (I1) being representative of estimated damages (d_est,i) to a component (20) of the technical system in different time spans (i) during operation of the technical system, wherein the estimated damages are determined with the help of a damage estimator (DE). The first information is also representative of operating points (o_i) of the technical system during the time spans. The method further comprises a step of determining second information (I2) depending on the first information, wherein the second information is determined using a stochastic model which treats the accumulated damage (Y) of the component accumulated over several time spans as a stochastic variable with the realization of the estimated damages at the end of each time span and the realization of the operating points during each time span as a condition. The second information is representative of an expectation value (E(Y)) of this accumulated damage and/or an uncertainty (σ(Y)) of this accumulated damage.

Abstract

A block-based codec using transform-based residual coding is described wherein a current transform coefficient of a set of transform coefficients is predicted based on a function, attributes of which comprise values of previously en/decoded samples neighboring the predetermined block, and if the current transform coefficient is not firstly en/decoded among the set of transform coefficients, one or more previously en/decoded transform coefficients among the set of transform coefficients. Further, a block-based codec is described where the set may have merely one transform coefficient, and one where the transform is improved by computing an additive offset mask for the transform using an improvement function, attributes of which comprise the transform and the predicted sample filling. The described aspects may be combined.

Abstract

A support apparatus (1) inputs static data of facilities and dynamic data of the facilities to a control device (2). The support apparatus (1) includes a display device (31) as an output device (3). The control device (2) displays a transient contact risk area image and/or a quasi-static contact risk area image on an image of the facilities in an evaluation target space. If the transient contact risk area image is displayed, an evaluator intuitively understands an existence of the transient contact and a location of the transient contact. If the quasi-static contact risk area image is displayed, the evaluator intuitively understands an existence of the quasi-static contact and a location of the quasi-static contact. As a result, the evaluator can consider measures against the transient contact and/or the quasi-static contact.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for exciting and determining fluorescence lifetimes by means of an optical 3-D measurement and to the use of a system of optical 3-D measurement for determining fluorescence lifetimes of fluorescent dyes. According to the described method, only t_tof, the time between photon emission and the detection of the photons, is preferably used in the determination of the fluorescence lifetimes. By contrast, the intensity of the detected fluorescence radiation is usually not taken into account when calculating the fluorescence lifetimes according to the described method. From the times t_tof obtained in this way, it is possible to determine the respective t_eFS, i.e. the respective times between absorption and emission of a photon by the fluorescent dye, using the likewise determined time t_d, i.e. the measured time during which the photons travel the path between light source and sample and between sample and detection location. The fluorescence lifetime can be determined by way of the following procedure: The occurrences of the respective time t_eFS are summed up. The difference in the time at which the sum corresponds to one e-th of the highest sum and the time with the highest sum is then considered to be the fluorescence lifetime.

Abstract

An apparatus and a microfluidic circulation system are provided and uses thereof are proposed. The apparatus includes a first reservoir, which is suitable for receiving a liquid cell-culture medium and has at least a first opening with a first flow barrier, and also includes a second reservoir, which is conditionally detachably or undetachably connected to the first reservoir, is suitable for receiving an active-substance liquid and has at least a first opening with a second flow barrier. The first and second flow barriers are different from one another and are each suitable for reducing a flow of an aqueous liquid and allowing diffusion of water and dissolved constituents of an aqueous liquid. The apparatus is stable for a very long time and allows an economical and reproducible investigation of a desired PK over a very wide range with little risk of contamination.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an assembly for a nonlinear spectral processing of a pulsed laser beam (3) in a periodic multipass assembly. According to the method, prior to coupling the laser beam into the multipass assembly, the transversal intensity distribution of the input laser beam (3) is transformed into an elliptical virtual eigenmode of the multipass assembly and is coupled into the multipass assembly with said intensity distribution. The elliptical virtual eigenmode has a transversal intensity distribution with two main axes, the length of which differ by at least a factor of 2 and which rotate about the propagation direction during the propagation of the laser beam (3). The method and the assembly allow a more compact design of the multipass assembly while using higher pulse energies.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a continuous process for polymerizing monomers in the gas phase by means of homogeneous catalyst systems or initiator systems in a reactor containing devices for comminuting and mixing agglomerated polymer. The process is conducted in such a way that the vapour pressure of each monomer in the reactor is always greater than the partial pressure thereof in the reactor. This condition is maintained in the process by establishing suitable conditions in the reactor. For this purpose, pressure and temperature in the reactor are adjusted correspondingly. Monomers that have not been polymerized can be condensed in a condenser and introduced back into the reactor. Under the conditions that prevail in the reactor, the monomers evaporate and ensure a cooling effect. This is true even if the monomers are generally introduced into the reactor in liquid form. In addition, the condensation of the monomers in the condenser has the effect that the pressure in the reactor drops.

Abstract

The present invention relates to silicic-acid-releasing fibres or fibre fragments, formed by the production of a spinnable sol by means of hydrolytic condensation of at least one silane compound selected from the group consisting of tetraalkoxysilanes, trialkoxysilanes, halosilanes and mixtures hereof, which is catalysed with an organic or inorganic acid with a pKs value of < 2.5, and subsequently spinning the spinnable sol to form a fibre. The fibres or fibre fragments are infiltrated with a non-aqueous solution by the spun fibres or fibre fragments being brought into contact with said non-aqueous solution. The invention also relates to fibre non-wovens which contain these silicic-acid-releasing fibres or fibre fragments. These fibres, fibre fragments or fibre non-wovens are used in the fields of regenerative therapies, microbiology, pharmaceutical applications, the cosmetics industry, diagnostics, the food industry, filters, fibre reinforcement of materials and optics.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for determining a radiation dose which is undergone by an aqueous liquid by electron radiation. In the method, in the case of an aqueous liquid, which contains or consists of an organic dye and water, a degree of absorption or fluorescence of the liquid is measured before and after direct irradiation with electron radiation with an energy of <600 keV for a predetermined period of time, and from this, a difference is ascertained. A radiation dose, which the liquid has undergone by the electron radiation during the predetermined period of time, is subsequently determined from the difference. The method and the device make it possible to determine a radiation dose which is undergone by an aqueous liquid by electron radiation with an energy of <600 keV.
