Abstract: The invention relates to a device for hyperthermic treatment of itching, for example following insect bites, wherein during the treatment a treatment surface is regulated at a temperature of preferably between 42° C. and 56° C. for a period of 2 sec to 12 sec and a hardware-implemented temperature monitor limits the maximum temperature of the treatment surface and a safety fuse shuts off the device in the case of a short-circuit or uncontrolled continuous heating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multilayer films used to protect a surface, in particular, to such films used to protect surfaces of articles e.g., mobile electronics display protections, smartphones, tablets), industrial touch screens (e.g. machine interfaces), UV stable surfaces and glass protections for machine housings and cockpits (e.g. caterpillars, dumpers), etc.), and, more particularly, to such a multilayer protective film backed by a silicone-based pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and having either an aliphatic polyurethane layer or an aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane layer on top of an aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane layer, where the two aliphatic polyurethane layers have different physical and/or chemical properties. The present invention also relates to an article that is protected by the multilayer film as well as a method for making the multilayer protective film.

Abstract: In order to enable various applications of non-Newtonian fluids, which are not hitherto possible as a result of the difficult handling ability of such fluids, a method for producing a non-Newtonian fluid is proposed, in which at least one starting material that can be cross-linked to form a non-Newtonian fluid and a solvent, in which a cross-linking agent for cross-linking the starting material is dissolved, are provided, wherein the solvent has an inhibiting effect on the cross-linking of the polymer. These components are mixed and the solvent is removed from the mixture, whereby the cross-linking agent is released in the mixture and the polymer is cross-linked by means of the cross-linking agent.
