  • Patent number: 11637111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated electronic circuit and method of making comprising a first transistor (1) and a ferroelectric capacitor (2). The ferroelectric capacitor (2) comprises a first electrode layer composed of a non-ferroelectric material, a ferroelectric interlayer having a thickness that is less than the thickness of the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer composed of a non-ferroelectric material, wherein the ferroelectric interlayer is arranged between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and the first electrode layer is electrically conductively connected to a gate terminal of the first transistor (1).

  • Publication number: 20210007342
    Abstract: A device for subjecting a flying insect to lethal radiation. The device has a measurement beam source for producing a measurement beam, a deflection unit for deflecting the measurement beam, a lethal radiation source for producing a lethal beam and a measurement beam detector. The measurement detector has a photodetector element, the deflection unit and the measurement beam detector are arranged and cooperate such that the measurement beam sweeps the detector surface of the measurement beam detector. The device includes an evaluation unit connected to the measurement detector and the lethal light source to determine an attenuation time period of an attenuation of the measurement beam between the deflection unit and the detector surface and to control the lethal light source depending on said attenuation time to emit a lethal beam impulse. A method for subjecting a flying insect to lethal radiation is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10605712
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for determining the permeation rate of a sample for at least one permeate, in particular water vapor, wherein multiple detectors are arranged in a row or in a row and column arrangement for the spatially resolved spectral analysis of electromagnetic radiation within a wavelength interval. The detectors are connected to an electronic evaluation unit and are arranged such that electromagnetic radiation emitted from a broadband radiation source is incident on the detectors either after being reflected by the surface of the sample, by a layer formed on the sample, or by the surface of a layer within the sample, and/or after passing through a sample which is transparent to the electromagnetic radiation. The irradiation is carried out such that a homogeneous intensity of the electromagnetic radiation is maintained on a surface, by means of which the electromagnetic radiation is reflected or through which the radiation is transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20130142860
    Abstract: The invention relates to material compositions comprising adult stem cells obtained from exocrine gland tissue and a supporting matrix having the shape of a thread structure and/or of a net. The supporting matrix preferably consists of a plastic material which is physiologically acceptable and degradable in the body. The material compositions of the invention are in particular suited for use in regenerative medicine, e.g. for regeneration of injured or damaged myocard tissue.

  • Patent number: 6129702
    Abstract: A medicament dosing system comprises a replaceable unit and a permanent unit. The replaceable unit comprises a fluid reservoir for receiving therein a pressurizable liquid medicament, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of said liquid medicament, a fluid channel which is provided with a flow resistor and which is in flow communication with the fluid reservoir, and a hose means which is connected to the fluid channel. The permanent unit comprises a squeezing valve means for squeezing the hose means together, and a control means which is coupled to the temperature sensor and the squeezing valve means so as to control a flow rate of the liquid medicament by clocked actuation of said squeezing valve means depending on the temperature detected. Alternatively, the temperatur sensor can be arranged in the permanent unit.
