  • Publication number: 20230161013
    Abstract: A method is presented for operating a laser radiation device (10) that has an illumination laser (14) and an active laser (13), and wherein, in a first operating mode of the laser radiation device (10) in which the active laser (13) does not emit any active laser radiation (20), the illumination laser (14) is operated in such a way that its illumination laser radiation (22) has a first illumination laser radiant flux. The method is characterized in that, in a second operating mode of the laser radiation device (10) in which the active laser (13) emits active laser radiation (20), the illumination laser (14) is operated such that its illumination laser radiation (22) has a second illumination laser radiant flux that is greater than the first illumination laser radiant flux.

  • Patent number: 11231260
    Abstract: An electronic securing device for an electronic load with an energy supply is provided, which can supply the securing device and the load with energy when an input signal is applied for a corresponding time, wherein the electronic securing device has a time delay, which ensures that only signals of a predetermined minimum duration are detected as a signal. The electronic securing device also has a programmable logic, which comprises the time control, and by way of which an operating switch can also be switched on. The programmable logic switches the energy supply to the load for a certain time and switch off again after the time has elapsed. The switching of the energy to the load takes place via a power switch. The switching off of the logic takes place via a first logic switch, which in turn can switch the operating switch and thereby deactivate the logic.

  • Publication number: 20210236974
    Abstract: A mist eliminator is described for separating liquid and/or solid particles out of a gas stream. The mist eliminator has various functional elements that are arranged in the gas stream direction in the gas stream path in three or more levels (5, 6, 7) of which the first level (5) comprises flow deflection elements (3) and the other levels (6, 7) each comprise liquid/solid particle collection and discharge elements (8, 9). The mist eliminator is characterized in that it has a particularly good separating efficiency with a low pressure loss and a small installation depth.

  • Patent number: 10407486
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of detecting BDCA-2 protein in a biological sample. The sample is combined with an antibody or antigen binding fragment under conditions where the antibody or fragment will bind to BDCA-2 protein in the sample to form a complex, which is detected by formation of complex with the antibody. BDCA-2 protein may be displayed on the surface of dendritic cells. Binding of the antibody may result in down-regulation of type 1 interferon production, down-regulation of Th1 immune responses, induction of intracellular Ca++ mobilization, and/or polarization of an immune response towards Th2.
