Abstract: Provided is a brake device for braking a rotational movement of a shaft about the longitudinal axis, wherein the shaft is mounted so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis in a direction of rotation and in a counter direction which opposes the direction of rotation. Brake devices typically use constant and relatively high braking torques, to ensure a controlled movement of a movement portion, braked by the brake device, in every situation. However, this increases the energy consumption for a movement of the movement portion, and the wear of the brake device. A brake device equipped with a setting device for mutually opposing setting of a braking torque on the shaft during rotation of the shaft in the direction of rotation, and a counter braking torque during rotation of the shaft in the counter direction is provided. Also provided is a method for controlling a brake device.

Abstract: Apparatus for filling an automobile air conditioning system with refrigerant in a liquid state is disclosed. R744 refrigerant is pumped in a liquid state from a storage tank to a refrigerant filling station having an inlet and two outlets. A first outlet is connected to a first refrigerant return line back to the storage tank. A second outlet is connected to an adapter for attaching to a service port of the air conditioning system during filling. An adapter support that has a connection port substantially the same as the service port receives the adapter when it is in a storage position. A valve is connected to the inlet and the first outlet and a temperature sensor measures a temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet. When the temperature is above a threshold, the valve closes the inlet and connects the refrigerant supply line to the first refrigerant return line.

Abstract: A three-dimensional high-resolution localization microscopy method including illuminating a sample by excitation radiation to excite fluorescence markers in the sample to luminesce, and imaging the sample in an image frame via imaging optics along an imaging direction, wherein the image frame contains images of the luminescing fluorescence markers, and the imaging optics have a plane of focus and an optical resolution. The excitation step and imaging steps are repeated multiple times to generate a plurality of image frames, wherein the excitation steps are performed to isolate the images of the luminescing fluorescence markers in each image frame for at least some of the luminescing fluorescence markers. The location of the corresponding fluorescence marker is determined in each instance in the generated plurality of image frames from the isolated images of the luminescing fluorescence markers, and a highly resolved total image is generated from the locations determined in this way.

Abstract: A method for SPIM microscopy, wherein the sample is moved continuously, and a plurality of images are taken at time intervals by means of a detection arrangement during the movement. The image capture duration or exposure time is dimensioned such that the movement path of the sample lies within a predetermined resolution range of the detection objective. The speed of the sample movement is determined and set by the image capture duration or exposure time and/or the distortion of the point spread function generated by the sample movement of the sample. The image blur is corrected computationally by the respective image capture duration and the movement speed. A sharp image is generated in this way. The actual optical section thickness of the light sheet is determined from the light sheet thickness, and the movement speed is determined therefrom and from user settings.

Abstract: A device for filling vehicle air conditioning systems with refrigerant R744 comprises at least one storage tank for liquid refrigerant R744, actively connected by at least one pump station, a supply line and a return line to a filling system from which the refrigerant R744 is fed by an adapter into the vehicle air conditioning system. The refrigerant R744 is maintained in the liquid phase within the supply design. A temperature sensor and a valve circuit are arranged in the region between the supply line and the filling system, which control the flow of the refrigerant. Whenremoval of the refrigerant is interrupted, the refrigerant forcibly heated by the removal pause is returned and/or guided to the storage tank and the cold refrigerant is guided from the storage tank to the filling station. An adapter support in the support position can be tensioned by a sealing positive fit on a specific connection.
