Abstract: A contact element system has a plurality of pin-type or needle-type and electrically conductive contact elements of equal length, which each have two end regions for electrically contacting contact positions and each have an intermediate region under longitudinal loading, overcoming their bending rigidity, and are designed with lamellar sections in the intermediate region such that they have at least two strips which are substantially parallel to each other and run at a distance from one another. At least two of the contact elements have different cross sectional surfaces and differently formed strips in the intermediate region, wherein the forms of the strips are chosen such that the contact elements have the same or approximately the same bending rigidity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a test card (1) for electrically connecting a test piece (2) to an electrical test device (3), having at least one holding element (4, 5) and having a plurality of electrically conductive contact devices (9) which are guided and supported by the holding element (4, 5), wherein the holding element (4, 5) has a plurality of openings (8) for guiding and/or supporting the contact devices (9) through which openings in each case one of the contact devices (9) extends. According to the invention, the holding element (4, 5) has a three-dimensional structure.

Abstract: A method for producing a contact spacing converter space transformer) which has electrical contacts that form electrical paths and in which a first contact spacing of the contacts is converted into a comparatively different, second contact spacing of the electrical contacts including producing at least one base part from each of at least some of the electrical contacts. At least a section of the base part is produced from plastic. The method subsequently includes metallization of at least the section of the base part that is produced from plastic.

Abstract: A food or supplement for pregnant women comprising water soluble, non-digestible saccharides is described. The composition is used to improve the flora and/or immune system of the pregnant women, to improve the immune system of the infant and to improve the intestinal flora of the infant after birth.

Abstract: An electrical contacting device for electrical physical contact with a specimen, particularly wafers, taking place in a contacting direction, with at least one conductor substrate which can be electrically connected to a testing device, at least one contact distance transformer and at least one contact head having electrical contact elements, particularly resilient contact elements, preferably serving to compensate different physical contact distances existing in the contacting direction particularly at the contact elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of nutritional compositions enriched in glutamine to improve structural and functional brain development in preterm and/or low birth weight infants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and/or toddlers comprising a lipid component which has a large lipid globule size. The composition can be used to prevent obesity and/or improve body composition later in life.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and/or toddlers comprising a lipid component which has a lipid globules coated with polar lipids. The composition can be used to prevent obesity and/or improve body composition later in life.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an improved balance of the essential branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine in infant formula.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for feeding of infants delivered via caesarean section and to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarean section and in particular to the use of a product obtained by fermentation of milk, whey, whey protein, whey protein hydrolysate, casein, casein hydrolysate and/or lactose by lactic acid producing bacteria. Thereby it is possible to stimulate a fast colonisation of the intestinal microbiota of said infants.

Abstract: The present invention concerns infant formula having a fat gradient which can be established by a sufficient amount of fat droplets with a diameter of 5-25 ?m based on total weight of fat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for feeding and to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarian section and in particular to the use of a) at least two different microorganisms; or b) at least one microorganism and at least one indigestible oligosaccharide; or c)at least two different Bifidobacteria species, subspecies or strains for the manufacture of a composition for enteral administration to an infant delivered via caesarean section. Thereby it is possible to stimulate the healthy development of the intestinal flora of said infants.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and composition for the treatment and/or prevention of respiratory tract infection and/or respiratory tract infection disease, said method comprising orally administering a composition to a mammal, said composition comprising a galactose containing indigestible oligosaccharide and at least 5 wt. % digestible galactose saccharide.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a test head for electrical testing of a test specimen, in particular a wafer, having at least two guide plates, which are spaced apart by means of at least one spacer and have guide holes distributed over the surfaces thereof, in which test contact pins for physical contact with the test specimen are guided in a sliding manner. Provision is made for the spacer to be formed by a multiplicity of point supports arranged in a manner distributed over the surfaces of the guide plates and secured on the guide plates.
