Abstract: A power module, in particular a commutation cell for an inverter. The power module includes a circuit carrier, in particular a ceramic circuit carrier, and at least one or only one semiconductor switch half-bridge with two semiconductor switches, in particular power semiconductor switches, wherein the semiconductor switches are in particular integrally connected to the circuit carrier. The power module of the above-mentioned type includes a flexible circuit board, which is in particular integrally connected to the circuit carrier. The flexible circuit board is arranged in the area of the semiconductor switches. The power module comprises a temperature sensor, which is integrally connected to the flexible circuit board and is designed and arranged to sense a temperature of the circuit carrier in the area of the semiconductor switches, and in particular thus indirectly a temperature of the semiconductor switches, through the flexible circuit board.

Abstract: A device for providing a sterile environment for the incubation of cell cultures is proposed, comprising a warming chamber with heating elements, sensors for temperature, humidity and CO2, and a gas supply providing a gas connection in the interior. The device also has a cultivation tank located in the warming chamber. This has a sealable passage for each sensor, and also a sealable gas inlet and outlet that couples to the gas connection inside the warming chamber. The sensors of the warming chamber are arranged to fit into respective passages of the cultivation vessel. The device also has a water reservoir arranged in the cultivation tank. The three elements of the warming chamber, the cultivation container and the water reservoir can be sterilized separately using the optimal method for each. Since the sensors are not part of the cultivation container, the latter can also be decontaminated by high temperatures.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article having a main body with elastic characteristics, in particular an air spring bellows, a metal-rubber element or a vibration damper. The article has a single-layer or multilayer main body having elastic properties, wherein the outer layer C has at least two laminas C1/C2 and each lamina is formed from an elastomer mixture, and wherein at least one layer D composed of a weave or loop-formed knit or loop-drawn knit has been embedded into this outer layer. This leads to further optimization of the fire-retardant properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article comprising a main body (6, 7, 8) that consists of a polymer material having elastic properties, particularly an air spring bellows (2), a metal-rubber element or a vibration damper. In order for fire-retardant properties to be improved, the article is provided, partially or fully, with a cover (9) formed from at least one flat textile structure and/or at least one three-dimensional textile structure and/or at least one shrink film. The cover can be fire-retardant itself or can be equipped to be fire-retardant.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article (1) having a main body composed of a polymeric material having elastic properties, in particular an air spring bellows (1), a metal-rubber element or a vibration damper. In order to improve its fire-retardant and/or flame-retardant properties, the article has been provided partially or completely with a flock (9).

Abstract: System and method for distinguishing at least two types of molecule groups that are bound to analyte molecules and which have different fluorescent characteristics. The system performs differentiation using time-resolved fluorescence measurement and includes a light source that exposes a first sample volume to light that is suitable for exciting the at least two types of molecule groups to fluorescence. The system also includes a detector for detecting fluorescence radiation emitted from a second sample volume that at least partially overlaps the first sample volume, and a control unit that is designed to activate the light source for a time interval T.sub.1 and, after time interval T.sub.2 has passed, to activate the detector for a time interval T.sub.3. According to this system, the illumination and detection of emitted fluorescence radiation is performed at least 1,000 times per millisecond, the detector signals recorded with a recording unit during time interval T.sub.
