  • Patent number: 10708519
    Abstract: A stereo image capturing system includes two identical panorama image capturing units arranged at different end sections of a common support structure. Each panorama image capturing unit includes first image capturing sensors including corresponding first optical elements and a second image capturing sensor including corresponding second optical elements. A second imaging plane is determined by the second capturing image sensor and respective first imaging planes are determined by the first image sensors. The identical panorama image capturing units are arranged at different end sections of a common support structure. The end sections and the panorama image capturing units are arranged on a connection axis, such that the panorama image capturing units are aligned in such a manner that the two second imaging planes lie parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 8871837
    Abstract: A method for preparation of a molecular recognition element comprising the steps of binding a template to a surface of a carrier material, providing a recognition material to the surface of the carrier material, initiating polymerization of the recognition material on the surface of the carrier material, stopping the polymerization of the recognition material on the surface of the carrier material, and releasing the template from the surface of the carrier material and the polymerized recognition material. The method is characterized as an aim size of individual imprints is predefined, and the polymerization of the recognition material on the surface of the carrier material is stopped when a size of individual imprints of the polymerized recognition material essentially equals the predefined aim size. This method is readily applicable for preparation of a molecular recognition element useful as a drug, catalyst, competitive affinity ligand inhibitor, competitor, agonist, antagonist or diagnostic agent.

  • Publication number: 20090293950
    Abstract: A photovoltaic cell, particularly a color-sensitized solar cell, comprises a conductive support substrate, coated with a metal oxide semiconductor layer, a color layer embodied so as to electronically interact with the metal oxide semiconductor layer, an electrolyte later that is applied to the color layer, and a counter-electrode which is connected to the electrolyte layer. The support substrate and/or the counter-electrode is/are made from a flexible fabric composed of a plurality of interwoven fibers.
