Abstract: A method of predetermining the time profile of a contrast agent concentration at a vessel position is provided in the context of contrast agent-enhanced MRI of a region of interest only during the initial flooding-in phase of the contrast agent into the vessel situated in the region of interest. The method includes establishing a broadening of a contrast agent bolus profile according to the equation ?W=W2?W1 wherein W1 is a first width of the contrast agent bolus profile at a first vessel position and W2 is a second width of a contrast agent concentration profile at a second vessel position within the region of interest. The broadening is established by determining at least one flow parameter which is dependent on at least one blood flow property of the patient at a third vessel position thereof and which correlates with the broadening of the contrast agent profile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an anti-theft system of a motor vehicle, comprising a communication system for near field communication and a storage device within a transmission and reception zone of the communication system. The mobile terminal is deposited in a control area in the interior compartment of the motor vehicle, the control area being located outside the transmission and reception zone. The deposited mobile terminal is connected to the communication system by a connecting device, which may, e.g., take the form of a cable, and a wired data communication connection is established. A control unit detects whether the data communication connection has been established with the mobile terminal by the connecting device and detects whether the mobile terminal is authorised to operate the anti-theft system, and depending on whether the authorisation has been detected, activates and/or deactivates a function of the anti-theft system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an anode and electrolyte and cathode in direct material contact in fuel cell applications, so that the anode and electrolyte, and the cathode and electrolyte, particularly at temperatures >400° C., can react in a solid chemical manner. Said reaction results in that the material of the anodes can diffuse into the electrolyte and vice versa, and the material of the cathodes can diffuse into the electrolyte or vice versa. The effect thereof is the modification of the electrical energy yield of the fuel cells. In order to prevent said effect, it is proposed according to the invention that a blocking layer is disposed between the electrolyte and anode and electrolyte and cathode and is made of areas having opened and closed pores and that the functional penetration paths for the diffusion are formed by the frame structure thus created.
