Abstract: A cooling device for dissipating having a first hybrid cooling component through cooling fluid can be guided and has a heat sink of metal or of a metal alloy, which is rigid and connected in a fluid-tight manner to a base body of plastics material of the first hybrid cooling component and which is to be arranged on objects to be cooled, and having a second hybrid cooling component connected releasably to the first hybrid cooling component and through which cooling fluid can be guided, having a plurality of cooling component portions which are connected together in pairs in an articulated manner, having a heat sink of metal which is arranged on objects to be cooled and connected in a fluid-tight manner to a base body of plastics material of the second hybrid cooling component, wherein the two hybrid cooling components are positioned at a distance from one another.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and materials for multiplexed utilization of collections of functional ligands, particularly to methods and materials for selecting for and/or utilizing particular desirable traits of functional ligands in a multiplexed manner, and more particularly to methods and materials for selecting for and/or utilizing particular structural changes of functional ligands in a multiplexed manner.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for treating an object manufactured from a material having a defined melting temperature, by subjecting the object to hot isostatic pressing to reduce porosity and increase a density thereof. The method comprises arranging the object in a pressure chamber interior cavity, submerged in a liquid partially filling the cavity, heating the liquid to a below melting temperature, pressurizing the liquid by pressurizing gas above a liquid surface in the cavity, then moving the object out of the liquid, but still within the cavity, subsequently heating the liquid to an above melting temperature, and resubmerging the object in the liquid. Subsequently, the object is withdrawn from the liquid and moved above the liquid. The apparatus comprises the pressure chamber, a movable object support in the cavity, a liquid heater, and a gas inlet and outlet selectively introducing gas into and venting gas from the cavity.
