Abstract: The invention relates to a drill head comprising at least one surface, with a number of structural elements, wherein the structural elements are manufactured by an additive or primary forming manufacturing method. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a drill head.

Abstract: The invention relates to a battery housing, in particular for an energy accumulator for a hybrid drive, comprising a tubular main body and at least two terminating covers, which are inserted into the main body and each have a cover plate that is offset inwards in the longitudinal direction of the main body and supports housing walls of the main body, wherein the terminating covers are each welded to the main body and all joints of the battery housing are formed without separate connecting elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a battery system, in particular for a hybrid drive, having a housing, a plurality of battery cells arranged inside the housing and a cooling element, wherein fluid connections and at least one electrical connection are arranged on the housing, said electrical connection being electrically coupled to the battery cells, and wherein the fluid connections comprise at least one coolant inlet and at least one coolant outlet, each of which is fluidically connected to the cooling element. The invention is characterized in that the housing comprises a tubular main body, which is sealed in a fluid-tight manner by a closure cap at each of the opposite end faces thereof, wherein the electrical connection is arranged on a first closure cap and the fluid connections are arranged on a second closure cap. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle having such a battery system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a battery system, in particular for a hybrid drive, having a housing which has a fluid connector segment, an energy store segment and an electrics/electronics segment, wherein the energy store segment has at least two cooling elements, through which a flow can pass, and at least one cell block, which are formed in each case from a plurality of battery cells that are connected electrically and mechanically by way of contact plates, and wherein the cell block is arranged between two cooling elements. The invention is characterised in that the energy store segment is arranged between the fluid connector segment and the electrics/electronics segment and has a cuboidal volume which corresponds to at least 0.5 times the total internal volume of the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger for a battery, in particular for a hybrid drive, with connections for the inflow and outflow of a heat exchange medium and with a frame which is connected on both sides with film walls to form a pouch through which a flow can pass, wherein the frame comprises flow guiding elements The invention is characterised in that the frame comprises a separating plate with two parallel lateral surfaces, wherein the separating plate divides the pouch into a first chamber and a second chamber which are delimited in a fluid-tight manner by the lateral surfaces and the respective film walls, wherein in each of the lateral surfaces a channel field of parallel flow channels is formed, the inflow side of which is fluidically connected via a distributor channel and the outflow side of which is fluidically connected via a collecting channel to the respective connections.

Abstract: A device for transporting a substrate (5) into a working area (2, 3, 22) which can be temporarily separated in a vacuum-tight manner, and a corresponding method. A transport element (4) transports a substrate (5) in the plane (XY) to a defined working area (2, 3, 22) of a chamber (1). The transport element (4) has a deflectable sealing frame (6) which can be moved in a Z-direction perpendicular with respect to the XY-plane. The sealing frame (6) has two opposing sealing surfaces (10, 11) in the Z-direction. By pressing a closure element (16, 21, 24) against a first sealing surface (10, 11) and thus pressing the second sealing surface (11, 10) against a chamber wall (32, 31), the space of the working area (2, 3, 22) of the chamber (1) can be sealed.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions of influenza proteins, such as matrix and nucleoprotein, that are presented to an individual's immune system as multimeric displays to induce an immune response. The compositions are optionally associated with any type of immunomodulatory compound (IMC) comprising an immunostimulatory sequences (ISS). The invention further provides compositions of influenza matrix and nucleoproteins that can induce cellular and/or humoral immune response. The invention also provides methods of making and using these compositions, e.g., as a vaccine, for ameliorating symptoms associated with infection with influenza virus or for reducing the risk of infection with influenza virus.
