Abstract: Described is a method for the detection of a RNA molecule, the method involving the steps of providing a sample containing the RNA molecule; hybridizing to the RNA molecule a first polynucleotide; extending the first polynucleotide to generate a first strand cDNA; hybridizing a second polynucleotide to the first strand cDNA; extending the first strand cDNA to generate an extension reaction product; amplifying the extension reaction product by means of polymerase chain reaction; and detecting the amplification product by means of real-time fluorescence readout. Also described is a kit containing a first and a second polynucleotide as defined in the present invention, a set of dNTPs, a reverse transcriptase enzyme, and a detection moiety.

Abstract: A fuel-operated heater, especially an auxiliary heater for a motor vehicle, with a fuel feed pump and/or with a combustion air fan, the heater, being operated in a predetermined lambda range. The heater is associated with a pressure sensor, by which the controllable fuel feed pump and/or the controllable combustion air fan can be energized via a control device. The pressure sensor may be arranged externally or also in the heater, especially on the pressure side of the fan. Not only changes in air pressure caused by atmospheric conditions, but also system-dependent changes in air pressure can be corrected in the case of the arrangement of a sensor on the pressure side of the fan.

Abstract: The invention concerns a heating appliance which is protected against overheating in that the temperature increase during operation of the appliance is monitored. If the temperature increases too rapidly, the heating operation is stopped. According to the invention, temperature increase values are determined in a close chronological succession and/or a mean value is calculated in order to compensate signal noise from the temperature sensor.
