  • Patent number: 10816097
    Abstract: A configuration for installation into a pipeline of a fluid network. The configuration has a connection housing with an inlet, an outlet, and a connection opening for connection of an exchangeable functional unit. The connection housing has a rotatably arranged core piece whose rotation makes it possible for the throughflow of the fluid through the connection housing to be blocked and/or released. The core piece has a receptacle for connection of the functional unit, and the receptacle and the connection opening are oriented in the same direction.

  • Patent number: 10803478
    Abstract: Third-party publishers (such as websites) provide online advertisements combined with social endorsement information to users. A request for an advertisement is received from a viewing user via a third-party publisher system. A particular advertisement is selected in response to this request, and one or more advertisement tags associated with the advertisement are retrieved. The advertisement tags comprise information related to the advertisement. Social networking system data for users related to the viewing user is retrieved. Social endorsement information is obtained using the social networking system data and the advertisement tags associated with the advertisement. The social endorsement information and the advertisement are then combined and transmitted to the third-party publisher system, or are transmitted individually for combination by the third-party publisher system.

  • Publication number: 20200230054
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a sensor for tumor tissue and a local release system for releasing therapeutic agents/diagnostic agents for targeted tumor therapy and diagnosis. More specifically, the invention relates to a cation-stabilised biopolymer gel, in particular an alginate gel, for use as a carrier matrix for a tumor therapeutic agent and/or tumor diagnostic agent, characterised in that the gel destabilises in the presence of a stimulus, in particular lysyl oxidase (LOX), generated by tumor cells or tumor tissue and the tumor therapeutic agent and/or tumor diagnostic agent can be released, and a pharmaceutical composition that comprises this cation-stabilised biopolymer gel with incorporated tumor therapeutic agent and/or tumor diagnostic agent and optionally an additional reporter substance.

  • Patent number: 10309787
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for classifying movement of an object are provided. Geolocation data for an object and timestamps associated with the geolocation data are processed to automatically identify a movement of the object. The movement is characterized by at least (i) timing data, and (ii) location data indicative of starting and ending locations of the object. One or more criteria for classifying the identified movement are accessed, where the one or more criteria are based on historical data for previous movements. An algorithm that evaluates the timing data and the location data of the identified movement against the one or more criteria is applied. The algorithm is configured to automatically assign a classification of a plurality of classifications to the identified movement based on the evaluation. A determination of whether to provide information on the identified movement to an output destination is made based on the assigned classification.

  • Patent number: 9566874
    Abstract: A method for electricity purchase of an electric car (22) at a power charging procedure at a power charging station (30), which is connected to the grid (15), a PV system (10) or other domestic system for generating electricity is feeding current at a first measurement system (16) into the grid (15), and the electric car (22) charges current at a second measurement system (26) from a power charging station (30) where both measurement systems (16, 26) are integrated in a communication network (20) and are, at least indirectly, in communication connection (K1, K2) with each other to control the charging current, preferable to synchronize it with the fed in current.
