Abstract: A method for charging an energy storage device of a vehicle. A charging process of the energy storage device is carried out with a charging device of the vehicle. In a first phase of the charging process, the energy storage device is charged with a first DC voltage of the charging source in dependence on a charging current of the charging source. A battery voltage of the energy storage device is determined during the charging process and is compared with the charging voltage of the charging source. A voltage transformer is operated in dependence on the comparison. In a second phase of the charging process, the energy storage device is charged with a second DC voltage of the voltage transformer in dependence on a choke current of the voltage transformer.

Abstract: A goalkeeper's glove for a goalkeeper includes a base knit and a plurality of finger stalls. Two or more of the finger stalls can include a compression knit area configured to be located circumjacent a proximal interphalangeal joint of fingers of a wearer. A wrist collar with a compression knit area can be configured to be located circumjacent the radiocarpal joint of the wearer. The compression knit areas of the finger stalls and the wrist collar can be configured to provide support to the fingers and wrist of the wearer, respectively, in a manner similar to athletic tape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Interleukin-4-induced gene 1 (IL4I1) as well as metabolites as produced by IL4I1 as marker in diagnosis and therapy of cancer and related metastasis and/or resistance to immunotherapy.
