Abstract: An electric heating device (20) is described which has at least one first electrically conductive component (21), at least one heating layer (22) and at least one second electrically conductive component (23). According to the invention, it is envisaged that the first electrically conductive component (21) and/or the second electrically conductive component (23) is/are produced and/or arranged on the heating layer (22) by means of a thermal spraying process. Alternatively or additionally, according to the invention, it is envisaged that the electrically conductive components (21, 23) and the heating layer (22) are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that a current flow perpendicularly to the plane of the heating layer (22) and/or in the direction of the plane of the heating layer (22) is realized or can be realized. In order to produce an assembly (10), such a heating device (20) can preferably be arranged on a substrate element (11). Furthermore, a suitable production method is described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the computer-assisted analysis of buggy source code in a hardware description language describing the structure and the operation of an integrated circuit. A correction model is provided, which includes a hierarchical structure of nodes arranged in a plurality of hierarchical levels, the nodes being transformation instructions, wherein a transformation instruction describes a group of transformations which are applied to at least one type of a source code section and thereby change the source code section and wherein a transformation instruction, which is a child node of another transformation instruction, constitutes a subset of the group of transformations of the other transformation instruction. Those transformation instructions, which change the source code in such a manner that the changed source code leads to a correct output of the integrated circuit, are determined and output together with the associated source code sections as corrections.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas sensor for detecting gas in the air, especially formaldehyde. The sensor comprises at least one gas-sensitive zone which is preferably a layer on a substrate and which contains the ternary compound In4Sn3O12 as the gas-sensitive material. In order to produce the gas-sensitive zone, a flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is carried out, organometallic compounds of indium and tin being used as the reactants. The gas sensor is especially suitable for online gas detection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device comprising: a first container and a second container, a capillary device arranged between the first container and the second container with one or more capillaries, each of the one or more capillaries connecting the first container to the second container, and each of the one or more capillaries tapering at least in sections from the second container in the direction towards the first container, means for generating and/or maintaining a temperature gradient T1st container>T2nd container between the first container and the second container.

Abstract: A ceramic composite material containing a ceramic substrate material, in which the at least one biological material, and at least one nanoparticulate reinforcing material are homogenously embedded, and a method for the production of the composite material are described.

Abstract: An adjustment-free tiltsensor for application in the fields of geodesy, geophysics and geotechnics, with a tilt angle measuring range greater than ±5° to ±10° and an essentially enhanced angular resolution better than 1 microradiant, in which an electrolytic liquid and a gas bubble are present in a closed spirit level, the spirit level is curved over an angle of up to 360°, a plurality of electrode configurations each having a plurality of electrodes are arranged along the spirit level for sensing the position of the gas bubble, the electrodes are in electric contact with the electrolytic liquid, and the electrodes are connected to a first electronic circuit, by means of which the electric quantities between selected electrodes can be measured.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for separating condensable substances from gases or gas mixtures with the use of porous materials including the steps of employing as adsorbents substances or materials suitable for capillary condensation and cyclically performing the method. The method can be used to separate water from air. The porous materials have a pore structure adapted to the environmental or climatic conditions present at the site of utilization of the method. The step of cyclically performing the method can be performing a plurality of times in succession separation by capillary condensation of the condensable substances in the porous materials and desorption of the condensed substances from the porous materials.
