Abstract: Method for applying a nanolaminate to a metal workpiece, wherein a coating made of a nanolaminate is applied in a region that is subjected to a notch effect, for example, a weld seam, which nanolaminate consists of a series of at least two metal layers, wherein each metal layer consists of a metal or a metal alloy that differs from the metal or the metal alloy in the adjacent layer. According to the invention, the method can take place with a batching tank locally and/or in situ.

Abstract: Medical training model having at least one blood vessel model (1) which in at least one practice region can be connected to an anatomically replicated substitute blood circulation system (2) and in which a real instrument (17) is used, further having an image recording device (3) for creating measured images of the at least one blood vessel model (1), and having an image processing device (11) which converts the recorded measured images into an imaging blood vessel representation and makes same displayable on a screen (12), wherein the image recording device (3) is designed as a photo-optical system (8) which records transmitted-light images (13) as measured images of the at least one blood vessel model (1) for simulation of medical activity, for which purpose the at least one blood vessel model (1) is replicated in a transparently produced solid-bdy block (4) for a contrast between transparent solid-body block (4) and non-transparent instrument (17).

Abstract: The invention proposes an In-situ Sensor (1) for being implanted within tissue of a mammal (P) comprising •an energy harvesting portion (RX), •a communication portion (TX), •a pressure sensor (SP) for measuring interstitial pressure of surrounding tissue when located within tissue, •a further sensor (SF), whereby the further sensor is selected from a group comprising pH sensor, lactate sensor, impedance sensor, radiation sensor, temperature sensor, sensor for bioelectrical potentials, •whereby said further sensor (SF), said pressure sensor (SP) as well as the communication portion (TX) are powered by the energy harvesting portion (RX), •whereby information indicative of the measurement provided by the pressure sensor (SP) and data indicative of the measurement provided by said further sensor (SF) is communicated via said communication portion (TX) towards an extracorporeal receiving entity (ECE), •whereby said communication portion (TX) and/or said pressure sensor (SP) and/or said further sensor (SF) are adap

Abstract: Control device (100) controlling a drilling operation and methods by which the dynamics of the continuum in question can be divided into superimposed waves, of which the wave traveling in the direction of the actuator and/or drive (10) is compensated by the actuator. This prevents reflection of the energy on the actuator. By using two sensors (30, 40) the wave traveling towards the actuator (10) and the wave traveling away from the actuator (10) can be calculated separately from one another, so that both the parameters of the wave traveling toward the actuator and the parameters of the wave traveling away from the actuator can be determined in order to be able to perform a control of the driving device of the drill string (20) on this basis.

Abstract: A method for milling long fibre reinforced composite plastics having at least one unidirectional top layer using a rotating milling tool, wherein work piece and tool are moved in an advancing movement parallel to the work piece cutting face relative to each other, and wherein there is an edge fibre separation angle on the work piece of 0°??edge?90°, and the blade of the tool mills the component edge in synchronization.

Abstract: The process according to the invention for the microbial production of a specific product and methane comprises the following steps: a) the production in a bioreactor (2, 10) of a specific product from a specific substrate using a specific organism, the producer, wherein during the production of this product metabolites such as e.g. low-molecular alcohols, aldehydes and acids, hydrogen and CO2, which may inhibit the production of the product, are obtained; and b) the production of methane by means of a methanogen, wherein in the production of the methane at least one metabolite is decomposed and by this means removed from the bioreactor (2, 10) and its energy is made usable.
