Abstract: A flushable medical device for short term use, such as a urinary catheter, is disclosed, and also a method for producing such a medical device. The medical device comprises at least an elongate shaft made of a degradable material, the degradability being such that the material becomes essentially totally dissolved if maintained in turbulent water at room temperature for at least 6 hours, but retains its structural integrity in water for at least 5 minutes, and preferably at least 10 minutes. Hereby, the medical device can be used for the intended short term use, and then be flushed in an ordinary toilet after use. The degradable material preferably comprises at least one of monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide and polysaccharide. In a preferred embodiment, the degradable material primarily comprises water, at least one of sugar and starch and gelatin.

Abstract: A manipulator for use in e.g. a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is described, said manipulator capable of rotating and translating a sample holder (4). The manipulator clasps the round sample holder between two members (3A, 3B), said members mounted on actuators (2A, 2B). Moving the actuators in the same direction results in a translation of the sample holder, while moving the actuators in opposite directions results in a rotation of the sample holder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell, which has been genetically modified relative to its wild type, so that in comparison with its wild type it is able to produce more ?-aminocarboxylic acids, more ?-aminocarboxylic acid esters or more lactams derived from ?-aminocarboxylic acids, starting from carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid esters. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for the production of a genetically modified cell, the cells obtainable by this method, a method for the production of ?-aminocarboxylic acids, of ?-aminocarboxylic acid esters or of lactams derived from ?-aminocarboxylic acids, the ?-aminocarboxylic acids, ?-aminocarboxylic acid esters or lactams derived from ?-aminocarboxylic acids obtainable by this method, a method for the production of polyamides based on ?-aminocarboxylic acids or based on lactams and the polyamides obtainable by this method.

Abstract: In a method for estimating a frequency deviation between a received spread-spectrum code signal and a local frequency signal, the received spread-spectrum code signal is despread using a local spread-spectrum code. The despread signal is integrated over a particular integration period. From at least two successively obtained integration values, a phase change value characteristic of the phase change between the two integration values is calculated. From this, the frequency deviation is determined.

Abstract: In a process for producing composite particles comprising a polymer and a finely divided inorganic solid, the process comprises providing an aqueous dispersion of a sol of the modified finely divided solid, adding at least one monomer suitable for free radical type polymerisation and adding a suitable free radical polymerisation initiator to initiate polymerisation of the monomer, wherein the reaction mixture is free from added surfactant, dispersant or auxiliary co-monomer. Compositions comprising the resulting particles are also disclosed.

Abstract: The method presented represents a possibility for separating emulsions derived from whole-cell biotransformations, which method makes it possible to effectively separate stable emulsions derived from typical biocatalytic two-phase processes that result in connection with such a biotransformation, by means of at least one compressed or supercritical gas. In this connection, a supercritical extraction to obtain the valuable product can follow directly, because of the use of compressed or supercritical gas as the separation agent. It is unimportant, in this connection, whether the valuable product is present in the aqueous or the organic phase. Recycling of the organic phase is possible, since the surfactant cell components, which are decisively responsible for the formation of the stable emulsion, can be separated off by means of sedimentation, because of the treatment.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide accurate time-based counters for scaling operating frequencies of microprocessors. A time-based counter circuit configuration in which a fixed frequency clock is derived from a PLL of the clock generation circuit of the microprocessor and is used to feed the external and internal timebase logic as well as a timebase accumulator counter. The timebase accumulator counter accumulates the tick events from the timebase logic between two core clocks. The accumulated value is transferred to the core clock domain on every clock edge of a scalable clock and the accumulator is then reset. Because the accumulated ticks are transferred to the core clock domain before the accumulator is reset, no ticks are ever lost using the circuitry of the illustrative embodiment.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for polar modulation without analog filters. Digitals filters, a second order hold interpolator and a reconfigurable third order noise shaper can be used instead of the analog filters used in conventional polar modulators. The polar modulator receives either receives the input in polar coordinates or converts the signal into polar phase and amplitude components. The phase and amplitude components are processed separately using digital signal processing components including digital filters, PLL, interpolator and noise shaper. The processed phase and amplitude components are then mixed to generate the modulated signal.

Abstract: A medical device is disclosed, comprising a substrate and a hydrophilic surface coating arranged on said substrate. The substrate has, on its surface coated with said hydrophilic surface coating, a surface texture with an arithmetical mean deviation of the surface profile (Ra) of at least 3 ?m and/or a profile section height difference (Rdc (1-99%)) of at least 18 ?m. It has surprisingly been found that the increased surface roughness of the substrate provides significant improvements in e.g. water retention for the hydrophilic coating.
