Abstract: The invention describes previously undisclosed crystal forms of astaxanthin designated crystal form I and II. It has been surprisingly found that the two crystal forms of astaxanthin show an improved bioavailability, a relatively high solubility in specific organic solvents and an increased long-term stability. For example the new forms are stable in solid form for at least 90 days at a temperature of 20° C.-40° C. It was further found that the two crystal forms can be prepared from each other. Therefore the invention also relates to methods for preparing said crystal forms. In addition, the invention relates to administration forms (hereinafter also called “formulations”) comprising one of the two crystal forms according to the invention or mixtures thereof dissolved or suspended in oil or organic-solvent.

Abstract: A cooling system for a dynamoelectric machine comprising a cooling jacket for assembly on an outer circumference of a stator of the dynamoelectric machine, a housing for receiving the stator having the mounted cooling jacket such that a hollow chamber, which can be filled with a liquid cooling medium, remains between an outer wall of the cooling jacket and an inner wall of the housing, wherein an inlet opening for inlet of the cooling medium into an inlet region and an outlet opening for outlet of the cooling medium from an outlet region of the hollow chamber are arranged on the housing and a barrier element connected to the cooling jacket for spatial separation of the inlet region from the outlet region is provided. The efficiency of such a cooling system is improved in that the barrier element presses against the inner wall of the housing having increasing pressure difference of the cooling medium in the inlet and outlet region.

Abstract: A system analyzer and a method for analyzing an impact of a change in a component of a distributed control system (DCS) are disclosed. The system can collect and store data representing the DCS components and their interconnection as well as signals of the DCS components. The DCS can be graphically modeled with nodes and directed edges, wherein a node represents either a type of DCS component or a signal of a DCS components, and wherein an edge is an “influence”-edge, or a “contains”-edge. Information on a change of a DCS components is received, a depth first or breadth first search is performed over the “influence”-edges and “contains”-edges and determine unchanged DCS components which would be affected by a malfunction, a removal or a taking out of operation of the at least one DCS component, and information on the affected DCS components is transmitted to an operator interface.

Abstract: A first future time occurs sooner than a second future time. The first future time indicates when the first and second future times are to be evaluated. The second future time provides a boundary between schedules occurring sooner and schedules occurring later. A schedule is generated and added to a database stored in a non-volatile storage. The schedule is for executing, in relation to an incident, an incident-handling action corresponding to a condition matching the incident. The schedule has an execution time at which to execute the incident-handling action in relation to the incident. Where the execution time is sooner than the second future time, the schedule is added to a queue stored in a volatile memory. Upon a current time equaling the execution time, the schedule is removed from the queue and correspondingly executing the incident-handling action in relation to the incident.
