Abstract: An energy absorption device for a bumper of a motor vehicle has a first deformation element on the front side of the bumper. The first deformation element is a foam shaped part which extends over the width of the bumper and has a density of from 20 to 50 g/l. At least one second deformation element, with a density which is at least 50 g/l higher than the first deformation element, is inserted into the first deformation element.

Abstract: A tool for the rotary and cutting machining of workpieces includes a plurality of blades arranged on the tool body and arranged in blade arrangements, and having a securing element that secures the blade arrangements to the tool body so that the blades cannot detach from the tool body during operation. The tool body is produced from plastic. The blades are incorporated into the tool body and the securing element provides a securing strip that is incorporated into the tool body and partially encloses the blade arrangements.

Abstract: A quantum dot structure having a split-gate geometry is provided. The quantum dot is configured for incorporation into a quantum dot array of a quantum processing unit. A gap between a reservoir accumulation gate and a quantum dot accumulation gate provides a tunnel barrier between an electric charge reservoir and a quantum dot well. An electrical potential applied to the gates defines a tunnel barrier height, width and charge tunneling rate between the well and the reservoir without relying on any barrier gate to control the charge tunneling rate.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of quantum information processing using quantum dots are provided. Electrons from a 2DEG are confined to the quantum dots and subjected to a magnetic field having a component directed parallel to the interface. Due to interfacial asymmetries, there is created an effective magnetic field that perturbs the energies of the spin states via an interfacial spin-orbit (SO) interaction. This SO interaction is utilized to controllably produce rotations of the electronic spin state, such as X-rotations of the electronic spin state in a double quantum dot (DQD) singlet-triplet (ST) qubit. The desired state rotations are controlled solely by the use of electrical pulses.

Abstract: This invention provides novel active agents (e.g. peptides, small organic molecules, amino acid pairs, etc.) peptides that ameliorate one or more symptoms of eye disease and/or other pathologies characterized by an inflammatory response. In certain embodiment, the peptides resemble a G* amphipathic helix of apolipoprotein J. The agents are highly stable and readily administered via an oral route or via intraocular injection.

Abstract: Described are polypeptides comprising at least two peptide monomers comprising a nuclear localization sequence or a protein transduction domain and their use for transferring molecules into eukaryotic cells, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the described polypeptides and processes for transferring molecules into eukaryotic cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for supporting objects (1) so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation (2), particularly, display devices in motor vehicles.The object of realizing such a device which is simple and cheap and which enables the object to be removed simply and rapidly, is achieved in that there has been provided a basic body (4) having a recess (14) which is open in a radialdirection, there has been provided a rotary body (3) adapted to be slid into the recess (14) in a radial direction and to be rotatable in the recess (14),there has been provided a locking bracket (9) by means of which the rotary body (3) can be locked against radial movement in the recess (14), andthe rotary body (3) can be locked in rotation to the object (1) in such a manner that the rotary body (3) is rotated when the object (1) is rotated in the basic body (4).

Abstract: A blowing mould has a mould with a terminal part which can be adjusted in axial direction relative to the mould by means of a threaded spindle and an adjustment nut. The terminal part is guided in a pressure sealed manner in the mould and is provided with a projecting rim which effects a seamless transition between the terminal part and the inner wall of the mould.
