  • Patent number: 9720272
    Abstract: A method for producing a display unit includes: inserting a covering glass into a first holder of a positioning device until the covering glass lies on a first contact surface parallel to the covering glass; thereafter inserting a bonding frame into a second holder of the positioning device until the bonding frame lies on a second contact surface parallel to the first contact surface. The bonding frame has a leg parallel to the covering glass, the peripheral edge of which leg directed toward the covering glass surrounds the peripheral edge of the covering glass at a distance forming a groove. Thereafter the groove between the covering glass and the leg of the bonding frame is filled with a first adhesive that connects these two parts to each other, and thereafter the surface of the covering glass facing away from an observer is covered with the layer of transparent bonding mass.

  • Publication number: 20070178302
    Abstract: A method for covering a solid body with a surface layer and covering the surface layer with an adhesive film includes applying the surface layer to the solid body, increasing a surface energy on an exterior of the surface layer in at least one area on which the adhesive film is to be applied such that the molecular structures on the exterior of the surface layer in that at least one area are temporarily fragmented, and bonding the adhesive film to the exterior of the surface layer in the at least one area while the molecular structures are temporarily fragmented in the at least one area.

  • Publication number: 20040242471
    Abstract: A method for the identification of an anti-mycobacterial agent that modulates the activity and/or expression of a protein expressed by a Mycobacterium in non-oxygen limiting stationary phase, hypoxic stationary phase or hypoxic growth phase, which method comprises: (i) contacting a test agent and a protein selected from RV3133c, Rv2623, Rv2626c, a variant of Rv3133c, Rv2623 or Rv2626 and a fragment of Rv3133c, RV2623, Rv2626c or said variant, or a polynucleotide or expression vector encoding said protein; (ii) monitoring the effect of the test agent on the activity and/or expression of said protein, thereby determining whether the test agent modulates the activity and/or expression of a protein expressed by a Mycobacterium in non-oxygen limiting stationary phase, hypoxic stationary phase or hypoxic growth phase.
