Abstract: A control module with connection devices for connection to connection terminals of a load feeder is disclosed. The control module may include a device interface for at least one connection, the interface being independent of the bus system, with a shut-off element able to be connected to the at least one connection device and with the load feeder able to be shut off by way of the shut-off element independently of the bus system. The control module may be plugged into connection terminals of the load feeder.

Abstract: A micro-dialysis probe extending longitudinally between a proximal probe opening and a distal probe tip and having a supply line and a drainage line for a drip-feed solution. A tube may be provided for supporting the drainage line. A dialysis section, wherein the flow channel for the drip-feed solution experiences an inversion, is formed generally between the supply line and the drainage line, in the vicinity of the distal probe tip. The supply line and the drainage line are respectively arranged substantially side by side and together form the probe shaft of the micro-dialysis probe.

Abstract: A method of evaluating glycemic control of a patient includes providing a pentagon having five axes radiating from a center of the pentagon. A first pentagon area formed by a first point, a second point, a third point, a fourth point, and a fifth point plotted on the five axes, respectively, is determined. A second pentagon area formed by a sixth point, a seventh point, an eighth point, a ninth point, and a tenth point plotted on the five axes, respectively, is determined. A glycemic control parameter is determined based on the first pentagon area and the second pentagon area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carbon dioxide fire extinguishing device comprising a capacitive measuring device (11) which is calibrated for a temperature range above and below the critical temperature of carbon dioxide and which is used to detect the amount of gas loss from a carbon dioxide pressure tank (10). The carbon dioxide fire extinguishing device comprises an outlet valve in which the capacitive measuring probe (12) is integrated in such an advantageous way that the outflow resistance of the extinguishing gas is hardly increased at all.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for affinity viscosimetry and a viscosimetric affinity sensor on the basis of sensitive liquids with analyte-dependent viscosity which are localized within a perfusable dialysis chamber and contain colloidal constituents which are cross-linked by affinity bonds. The viscosimetric affinity sensor according to this invention is characterized by the spatial or temporal separation of analyte diffusion from the measurement of the flow resistance for such sensitive liquid flowing through a capillary, needle-like body or other liquid conductor, which integrated combination of a dialysis chamber with viscosimeter enables a researcher to make measurements under lab conditions that provide spatial separation of the dialysis process from the rheological analysis, as done under test conditions where the maximum shear rate of sensitive liquid in the viscosity sensor is at least twice that shear rate of sensitive liquid experienced in the dialysis chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-dialysis probe which includes a supply line (1) and a drainage line (6) for a drip-feed solution and a dialysis section, wherein the flow channel for the drip-feed solution experiences an inversion in the area of the dialysis section between the supply line (1) and the drainage line (6), and wherein both the supply line (1) and the drainage line (6) are respectively arranged as separate hollow channels on the outer wall of the probe, side by side, in particular parallel.
