Abstract: The invention relates to a vision system for representing synthetically generated images for the stimulation of night vision appliances, especially in training simulators for driving or flight training, and lighting and observation operations in night vision conditions. Said system comprises an image generator (17) for generating image signals of a synthetic image, at least one projector (16) which is fed with the image signals and used to project the image onto at least one projection screen (11), and a night vision appliance (15) for visualizing the projected image. The aim of the invention is to create a technically less complex, cost-effective visual system, whereby the projected image is visualized through the night vision appliance (15) in an undisturbed manner when the night vision appliance is stimulated correctly.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a robot on the basis of data from sensors with their own sensor data structures. For solving the problem of adapting to different sensors and their data structures and consequently permitting in simple manner the use of different sensors without intervening in the actual robot control program, according to the system the sensor data are processed to robot control data with a control data structure usable by a system control program and a processing device suitable for the same is provided.

Abstract: A purified binding protein selected from the group consisting of insulin-like growth factor binding protein having an amino acid sequence which is at least 85% homologous to the amino acid sequence of FIG. 1 and fragments thereof comprising at least 10 consecutive amino acids of the sequence that are capable of binding to an antibody specific for the protein or to an insulin-like growth factor is described. Recombinant DNA molecules encoding the binding proteins and subsequences thereof are also described along with recombinant microorganisms and cell lines containing the DNA molecules and methods for preparing the binding proteins by growing the recombinant hosts containing the relevant DNA molecules. Antibodies to the protein, identified as IGFBP-6, which are useful in various diagnostic applications, are also described.
