Abstract: An electrically driven motorcycle includes a drive energy store, an on-board electrical system, a motor, a braking device, and a control unit. A method to brake the motorcycle includes detecting currently required braking torque, current maximum charge power of the drive energy store, current maximum power loss that can be generated in the motor and/or on-board electrical system, currently required power loss resulting from a difference in current maximum charge power and maximum power recovery of the motor for the required braking torque, and an additional braking device braking torque resulting from a difference in required braking torque and motor braking torque resulting from the current maximum charge power and the current maximum power loss that can be applied, and controlling the motor and/or the on-board electrical system with reduced efficiency such that the required power loss is achieved, and actuating the braking device to apply the additional braking torque.

Abstract: A high current contact is disclosed having a contact pin for insertion into the high-current socket having a plurality of contact segments that are slotted in a radial direction for contacting an inner contact surface of the high-current socket; a guide sleeve surrounding the contact pin, which, by means of an at least central front pressing against the high-current socket relative to the contact pin in an axial direction from an initial position, in which the guide sleeve blocks an independent radial spreading of the contact segments in order to avoid a contact between the contacts segments protruding axially from the guide sleeve and the inner contact surface, is movable into a contact position that is set back with respect to the contact pin and in which the guide sleeve unblocks an independent radial spreading of the contact segments protruding from the guide sleeve for contacting the inner contact surface.

Abstract: A method is presented that makes possible the labelling of powders that can be applied as building material in a layer-additive manufacturing method such as a selective laser sintering method. To this effect the powder is mixed with at least one salt of a metal of the rare earths, wherein the salt has the property that it shows a luminescence when being irradiated with photons having a wavelength outside of the visible spectrum or with particle radiation. Thereby, parts that have been manufactured by means of the layer-additive manufacturing method can be identified with regard to the manufacturer, the place of manufacture or the manufacture date.

Abstract: The method comprises the following steps: bonding at least one chemical, optically luminescent compound (3) onto at least one indicator element (6) for testing the treatments (14), wherein at least one luminescence property of the chemical compound (3) can be changed; assigning at least one indicator element (6) to the object (1); wherein the indicator element (6) and the object (1) are simultaneously subjected to the same conditions of the energy-introducing treatment (14); changing the luminescence property of the chemical compound (3), wherein the level of the change to the luminescence property depends upon the energy-introducing treatment (14); irradiating (13) the chemical compound (3) with electromagnetic radiation directed onto the indicator (6) for excitation of the luminescence during the energy-introducing treatment or following the energy-introducing treatment (14).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are proposed for detecting at least one object in a package, in which at least one object is provided with an optical code and is disposed in a package. The method includes the steps of first irradiating the code through the package by electromagnetic excitation radiation. The code on being irradiated with the electromagnetic excitation radiation emits electromagnetic radiation, which is of higher or lower energy compared to the excitation radiation. Then the electromagnetic radiation is evaluated for whether the object is located in the package.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an add-on unit made up of car body sheets, the add-on unit having at least two overlapping sheets, in which one edge area of a first sheet is folded over an edge area of a second sheet. In order to enable direct assembly of the add-on unit into the body-in-white, after the folding process, the edge areas of the sheets are joined together in sections by applying heat on one side. In addition an add-on unit is manufactured using this method.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99mThe invention relates to a process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99m, in which no unwanted Tc-99m compounds are bound to the antibody. This is achieved by using the complexing agent required for the reducing agent in an amount which is stoichiometric relative to the reducing agent.

Abstract: In a method for processing solid residues from refuse incineration plants the slag is melted and heavy metals from the melt (16) are separated for reutilization. The slag is directly transferred from the refuse incineration plant into a first heating chamber (2) and melted there under oxidizing conditions. The melt (16) produced therefrom is transferred to a second heating chamber (3), in which the heavy metal compounds are reduced to their metallic form. Furthermore, additional finely divided residues, such as fly ash, boiler ash and filter dust, are introduced into the second heating chamber (3) via a hollow graphite electrode (19). The melt (16) is then passed on to a third heating chamber (4), in which the residual readily volatile metals are vaporized and the residual non-volatile metals are sedimented. The essentially heavy-metal-free melt is then cooled to form vitreous granules.
