  • Publication number: 20180182811
    Abstract: A component for detecting electromagnetic radiation comprising a first functional layer, in which at least one first element is embodied by which electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength range can be detected, with the first functional layer being deposited on one side of the substrate. On the opposite side of the substrate a second functional layer is deposited, in which at least one second element is embodied by which either electromagnetic radiation of a second wavelength range can be detected, with the first functional layer and the substrate being transparent with regards to the electromagnetic radiation of the first wavelength range, or by which the electromagnetic radiation of a second wavelength range can be emitted.

  • Patent number: 9918917
    Abstract: The invention relates to styling agents, comprising—with respect to the weight thereof—0.1 to 20 wt % of strengthening polymer(s) and 0.1 to 5 wt % of esters of the formula (I), in which R1 stands for —H or CH3, R2 stands for a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 7 to 15 carbon atoms, and n stands for an integer from the group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Said styling agents effect significantly improved curl retention, in particular significantly improved high-humidity curl retention, thus a higher degree of curl retention even in a humid environment in addition to further improved hold and improved hair feel, such as texture and combability.

  • Publication number: 20170294158
    Abstract: A method for operating a bidirectional display comprising a substrate, on which a display array consisting of a multiplicity of light-generating image elements and a sensor array consisting of a multiplicity of light-detecting elements are formed, each light-detecting element being assigned at least one light-generating image element, and each light-detecting element having at least a photodetector, a reset switch, a transfer switch, a memory and a select switch. The exposure phase of a light-detecting element between two successive readout phases of the light-detecting element is in this case subdivided into at least two exposure subphases chronologically separated from one another, and the at least one light-generating image element assigned to the light-detecting element is activated at least temporarily between the two exposure subphases of the light-detecting element.
