Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for recovering two or more genes, or gene products, or cDNAs, encoding for an immunoreceptor having two or more subunits, which two or more genes, or gene products, are comprised in a given source cell. The invention is further related to a method of creating a library of expressor cells, in which library each cell is capable of expressing two or more genes, or gene products, encoding for the subunits of the immunoreceptor. The invention is further related to a method of screening a library of expressor cells as created according to the above method, for one cell that expresses an immunoreceptor that has specificity for a given target molecule.

Abstract: A mobile scanning assembly and a method for driving such a scanning assembly allow a very flexible execution of a measuring procedure in a SLAM rotation mode, an MMS profile mode and/or using a static scan and an evaluation via an onboard PC to optimize the trajectory and the resulting 3D cloud of points.

Abstract: A query system for carrying out a query process corresponding to a received query element on a database system and/or a search-engine system, the query system comprising: a synchronization unit operable, as a non-text-centric synchronization process, to convert a non-text-centric data entry of the database system into a corresponding text-centric data entry representative of that non-text-centric data entry, and to enter the text-centric data entry into an index of the search-engine system so that the non-text-centric data entry of the database system is available to both the search-engine and database systems.

Abstract: A query system for carrying out a query process corresponding to a received query element on a database system and/or a search-engine system, the query system comprising: a synchronisation unit operable, as a non-text-centric synchronisation process, to convert a non-text-centric data entry of the database system into a corresponding text-centric data entry representative of that non-text-centric data entry, and to enter the text-centric data entry into an index of the search-engine system so that the non-text-centric data entry of the database system is available to both the search-engine and database systems.
