Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for allowing provisioning of open data protocol (OData) services on top of a generic interaction layer (GenIL). One computer-implemented method includes receiving an OData-compliant request for data, determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data, determining the memory location of the data, requesting the data from the determined memory location, receiving the requested data from the determined memory location, converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format, rendering an OData-compliant response, and transmitting the OData-compliant response.

Abstract: A fuel cell system (1) with a fuel cell unit (2) including at least one fuel cell (3), as well as an anode gas feed (11) including a reformer (12). A reduced deposit of hydrocarbons on an anode (5) of the fuel cell (3), especially in case of a cold start of the fuel cell system (1), is achieved when the anode gas feed (11) has a reduction device (14), which is arranged between the reformer (12) and the anode (5).

Abstract: The present invention relates to immunomodulator compositions and methods of use as well as methods of making. The immunomodulator compositions comprise immunostimulatory plasmids, or DNA sequence, capable of eliciting an immune response in a recipient subject. Further, the immunostimulatory plasmids, or DNA sequence, do not contain antibiotic resistance coding sequence to help reduce the potential of horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance in a population.

Abstract: An apparatus for slicing food products, in particular a high-performance slicer, comprises a product feed by means of which products can be supplied to a cutting plane in a plurality of tracks running in parallel next to one another in which at least one cutting blade is moved, in particular in a rotating and/or circulating manner, and an interleaver which has a conveying device for each track by means of which a front end region of an interleaved sheet material web can be conveyed through the cutting plane in each track to provide the front end region in the respective track as an interleaved sheet between cut-off product layers, in particular between individual slices and/or between portions formed by a plurality of slices, wherein the interleaver is operable individually per track and each conveying device is configured such that it carries out the conveying process of the respective front end region of the respective interleaved sheet material web through the cutting plane individually per track in depend

Abstract: The memory module comprises a circuit board with a first and a second side, wherein memory chips are arranged at least on the first side. A longitudinally extending module heat conductor is arranged on the first side. The module heat conductor comprises a contact surface configured to contact a heat transfer system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring the force interaction caused by a sample, wherein a bias voltage, with respect to the sample, is applied between a tip, and the tip is guided at such a small distance to the sample that a measurable current flows between the tip and the sample, and a sensor and signal converter S, which changes the current flowing through the tip-sample contact depending on the intensity of the force interaction, is formed and used in the region of the force interaction. A scanning tunneling microscope therefor is disclosed.

Abstract: A system for at least partially removing a contaminant in a contaminated fluid includes a reaction vessel with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The contaminated fluid is conductable in a fluid flow direction which has at least a component oriented antiparallel to the force of gravity. A fluid supply unit supplies a contaminated fluid through the fluid inlet inside the reaction vessel. The reaction vessel is filled with reactive particles. The fluid supply unit controls a flow velocity of the contaminated fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet so that the flow of contaminated fluid through the reactive particles generates a fluidized bed of the reactive particles, thereby removing, at least partially, the contaminant in the contaminated fluid by a reaction of the contaminant and the reactive particles. At least 80% of the reactive particles have a size of more than 2 mm.
