Abstract: A control system for handling a processing product includes a control device with at least one application module for interconnecting first and second sensor components, and a control module, wherein the first and second sensor components capture first and second sensor data, the handling component handles, processes and/or manipulates the processing product, and the control module executes the control program, and further includes an edge computing device which determines an item of time information, where times for transporting a product transported on the transport device from the first to the second sensor component and on to the handling component are determined from the item of time information, and wherein the control module executes the control program to provide real-time control of the handling component for handling the processing product taking into account the first and second sensor data and the time information and/or the determined transport times.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a liquid polymer component with a predefined air content, in particular for producing a plastic foam, includes a pressure vessel receiving the liquid polymer component through an opening, a pipeline at the bottom of the pressure vessel having a multiplicity of air outlet nozzles, a motor-operated stirring device, a circulation line, a pump between the inflow and outflow, and an outlet valve between the pump and the outflow. An oxygen sensor in the circulation line measures an actual value of the oxygen saturation of the air-charged polymer component, and an electronic control device modifies the pressure and/or amount of the compressed air supplied to the air outlet nozzles based on the actual value of the oxygen saturation measured by the oxygen sensor, such that the oxygen saturation of the liquid polymer component circulated in the circulation line assumes a predefined setpoint value.

Abstract: A method for securely operating an industrial control device together with an AI module for processing at least one AI data set via a two-stage decryption method.

Abstract: A modular play and/or exercise hoop having a tear-drop shaped cross section that includes tube segments that are attached to each other by connectors into a circular ring. The connectors have an illumination circuit that project light into each tube segment.

Abstract: An object with a tactile outer layer includes, for example, a ball having an outer surface and a series of protrusions or spikes on the outer surface. The protrusion each appear as a tear-dropped shape mass that includes a base having a relatively flat bottom adhered to the outer surface of the ball and a narrow tip and/or curved tail extending away from the outer surface. Manufacturing can be performed by mounting the object and utilizing injection arms that deposit elastomer globules on the object. The globules are deposited by pressure through a reservoir in the injection arm and the injection arms are then withdrawn to product the tail shape.

Abstract: A spiked ball includes an inflatable ball having an outer surface and a series of protrusions on the outer surface. The protrusion each appear as a tear-dropped shape mass that includes a base having a relatively flat bottom adhered to the outer surface and a narrow tip extending away from the outer surface. The narrow tip may also appear as a curved tale. The spikes provide a unique tactile feel and a surface for gripping that is different than other balls. The spikes also cause the ball to contact or “grab” the ground to create a unique bounce.

Abstract: The present invention provides an isolated, purified and characterized human tyrosine hydroxylase (hTH) promoter nucleic acid sequence. The invention further provides a method of selecting TH positive (TH+) cells by preparing a construct comprising a hTH promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, for example, green fluorescent protein encoding sequence, and transfecting cells, particularly stem cells, with the construct. The invention also provides a hTH promoter, useful in gene therapeutic applications in driving therapeutic genes or other nucleic acid sequences operably linked to the hTH promoter. Additionally, the invention provides cell lines and transgenic animals expressing a transgene comprising the hTH promoter operably linked to a heterologous sequence, which cell lines and transgenic animals are useful for isolating TH+ cells for transplantation or for screening of therapeutic agents that affect TH+ function.
