Abstract: A system for assembling layers of packages and for forming transport and storage units from the layers. A grouping station has a grouping table for arranging and grouping the packages in a predefined layer arrangement. A package delivery feeds the packages to the grouping table in a conveying direction. The package delivery has two row conveyors for transporting at least one row of packages each on either side of the grouping table. A transfer unit transfers the packages from the row conveyors to the grouping table by sliding them in a respective sliding direction over a slide-over buffer region between each row conveyor and the grouping table, in order to form the layer of packages. A layer stacker then slides the layer of packages from the grouping table over onto a plate provided in the layer stacker, while maintaining the layer arrangement, in order to form the transport and storage unit.

Abstract: A power transistor, a driver and an output stage. The power transistor includes an active region and a metallization level located above the active region for power distribution and for detecting an imminent metallization error induced by stress (RPP stress) caused by repeated power pulses. The power transistor also includes a further metallization level, which is located above the metallization level and in which galvanically isolated metal elements extend mutually parallel in a direction of extent, of which one pair is used for energizing the power transistor. It is a characteristic of the power transistor that at least one cut-out is formed above the active region in the further metallization level. The cut-out has the effect of decreasing heat dissipation. The power transistor is thereby heated more intensely in the localized region, so that large temperature gradients occur in the transition region defined by the edges of the metal elements.

Abstract: This patent relates to a method of detecting in vitro the proarrhythmogenic risk of a drug candidate performed on human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM), where the experimental measurements and recordings of at least five ion currents and of externally paced action potentials (AP) are carried out on a high-performance automated patch-clamp platform before and after application of the candidate drug, and an advanced cardiomyocyte electrophysiology mathematical model is used to accurately reproduce the shape of experimentally recorded externally paced action potential and to generate a restauration stimulus file including the sum of ion currents inhibited by the drug to be applied to the hiPSC-CM in order to restore the initial externally paced action potential, and further used to compute metrics predictive of said proarrhythmogenic risk.

Abstract: A method for dynamic reaction to DIAMETER routing failures is disclosed. The method for dynamic reaction to DIAMETER routing failures includes receiving a DIAMETER message, calculating a statistic associated with the route of the message, testing if the message is an unable_to_deliver message type, and if it is, testing the calculated statistic against a criterion. In the event the statistic exceeds the criterion, an action pertinent to the route which had a delivery failure is taken. The method for dynamic reaction to DIAMETER routing failures provides for dynamic management of routes at the node level in response to delivery failures. The method for dynamic reaction to DIAMETER routing failures is particularly useful for overcoming bandwidth usage in terms of delivery failures known in the art.

Abstract: A method for per-peer request delivery timeouts includes receiving a DIAMETER message at a DIAMETER Routing Agent, testing if the DIAMETER message is a request message destined for an associated peer, and if said test is affirmative, then retrieving a preset timeout associated with that peer; initiating a timeout timer with said preset timeout; and forwarding the DIAMETER request message to said peer. The disclosure provides additional steps with respect to stopping the timer in the event that a response message is received prior to the timer expiring; or alternatively, either resending the request or providing an unable_to_deliver response in the event the timer does expire. The method for per-peer request delivery timeouts provides for fine tuning timeout periods according to the networks to which the DIAMETER peers are connected. The method is particularly useful for reducing the amount of time waiting for response messages which will not be forthcoming.
