  • Circuit board with thermal control
    Patent number: 9693446
    Abstract: A printed circuit board comprises a base material containing at least one conductor path and at least one heat-conducting path forming a heating layer embedded in the base material for generating and conducting heat. The circuit board is characterized in that the heat-conducting path comprises a PTC thermistor with a constant voltage applied thereto. The invention further relates to a plug-in module comprising such a circuit board, and additionally to a field device comprising such a circuit board and/or such a plug-in module.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and Devices for Analyzing Lipoproteins
    Publication number: 20090132443
    Abstract: The disclosure describes methods, systems, and devices for analysis of lipoproteins and for diagnosing and/or determining risk of cardiovascular disease. In some embodiments, lipoproteins are separated by electrophoretically using a micro-channel device, and the data are analyzed using an adaptive method such as a neural network.
