  • Publication number: 20240083974
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an artificial transmembrane protein for use in a biomolecular detection device for detecting intracellular or intravesicular biomolecular interactions, the artificial transmembrane protein having an extracellular or extravesicular binder structure, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and an intracellular or intravesicular domain with an intracellular or intravesicular receptor structure, wherein the receptor structure is configured to interact with an intracellular or intravesicular component of the biomolecular interaction to be detected and wherein the extracellular or extravesicular binder structure is configured to bind to membrane recognition elements arranged along a plurality of predetermined lines of the biomolecular detection device.

  • Publication number: 20220397573
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a biomolecular detection device (1) for analyzing a cell, vesicle or a cellular or vesicular component, comprising an evanescent illuminator with an optical coupling unit configured for generating an evanescent field from coherent light (L) with a predefined wavelength on a first surface of the evanescent illuminator. The first surface of evanescent illuminator comprises a template nanopattern (5), containing a coherent arrangement of a plurality of predetermined lines along which membrane recognition elements for a binder structure (82) of a transmembrane protein (81), preferably a laterally diffusible transmembrane protein, of the cell, vesicle or the cellular or vesicular component (8) are arranged.

  • Patent number: 10305353
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor for a rotating machine and more in particular, to a component of the rotor. The present invention generally relates to an improved cooling configuration of a rotating machine. Unlike generally known arrangements, the solution proposed herein does not guide coolant fluid to parts which require cooling. Instead, the heat generated from the losses in the rotor pole is transferred to parts having favourable characteristics for establishing heat exchange.

  • Patent number: 8878403
    Abstract: An air-cooled motor-generator (10) includes a rotor (34) with a rotor shaft (11), which is arranged rotatably about a machine axis (15) and on which a rotor winding (16) is arranged, and a stator (35) with a stator laminate stack (18) and a stator winding (17) arranged therein, which concentrically surrounds the rotor winding (16) A closed cooling circuit operating with cooling air (24) is provided, with the cooling air in the cooling circuit flowing through the rotor winding (16) and the stator winding (17) radially from the inside outwards, the cooling air being cooled in coolers (19) arranged outside the stator (35) and being fed back to the rotor (34). Cooling which can be changed before or during operation is achieved in a simple manner by virtue of the fact that adjustable throttle devices are provided for adjusting the volume flow of the cooling air in the cooling circuit at the coolers (19).
