Abstract: An energy absorber for damping the impact upon the body of a motor vehicle includes energy absorbing bodies that include successively arranged support walls with a number of energy absorbing structural elements that are each separately arranged at the support wall and are firmly connected to the support wall. Upon impact, each of the structural elements absorb energy by moving towards an opposite support wall while adjoining neighboring structural element until the structural elements are compacting.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a transport system for bank notes whereby a bank note is conveyed from a tester unit to a bank note storage device, as well as a device for taking up bank notes in which a bank note storage and stacking unit is controlled by differing transport speeds such that the transport speed in the transport unit that takes up the bank note is higher than the transport speed in the device that delivers the bank note to a second transport unit.

Such vaccine comprises codon-optimized DNA sequences encoding structural proteins and the most important membrane protein of FeLV.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bumper module 1 having an integrated support structure for headlight 6, by means of which the installation of headlight 6 with a visually satisfactory profile in the front region of the motor vehicle is facilitated.

Abstract: The front end structure of a motor vehicle includes a fender support and a fender for attachment to the fender support and an absorber, which is mounted between the fender support and the fender, and wherein the absorber is constructed as a profiled deformation element to which a number of add-on pieces can also be attached.

Abstract: The invention relates to (glyco-) proteins, in particular monoclonal antibodies, which have an immunoreactivity of >81%, preferably >90%. The inventive monoclonal antibodies are produced using a fluidized bed reactor in conjunction with a conventional protein-chemical purification method or preferably with a purification method involving less column chromatography. The monoclonal antibodies thus produced are suitable, in gamma-irradiated form, e.g. Tc-99m labeled, for the in vivo diagnosis of inflammatory diseases and bone marrow metastases. In alpha- or beta-irradiated form, e.g. astatine or Re-188 or Y-90 labeled form, the inventive monoclonal antibodies can be used, for example, in the treatment of leukemia.

Abstract: According to the invention, an excitation layer is focused into a sample and switched on suddenly in order to improve the microscopic resolution; the history of the resulting fluorescence transient is detected and imperatively depending on the excitation intensity, wherein different patterns for the history of different transients are determined for individual excitation intensity values and are matched with the measured transient and the amplitude of the pattern matching the excitation power in the focus is determined and used as a pixel value and the sample scanned in this manner, whereby the spatial resolution is improved to levels lying below the Abbe limit by evaluating the transient.

Abstract: In order to adapt the damping behavior at a wider range in a process for damping torsional vibrations and in a torsional vibration damper, the length of an elastic element can be changed in dependence on a relative angle between two rotational subassemblies, with the degree of change in length being variable in dependence on the relative angle. Furthermore, a thrust piston of a coupling element, which couples the two subassemblies, can be displaced in dependence on the relative angle, relative to a first one of the two subassemblies.
