Abstract: A method performed at a mobile transport unit is disclosed. In the method, parameters are determined by using sensors of the transport unit. The parameters include characteristics of the transport unit and/or characteristics of a consignment transported by the transport unit. In the method, the parameters are transmitted to a routing system, which determines a transport route for the transport unit, a need that waypoints/timing of an existing transport route of the transport unit has to be changed to obtain a changed transport route, or a need for a specific handling of the consignment. In the method, an instruction is received that is a routing instruction from the routing system pertaining to the determined transport route for the transport unit, to a transfer of the consignment from the transport unit to another transport unit, or to how the consignment shall be handled by the transport unit.

Abstract: A method for routing is disclosed. The method involves obtaining information on a plurality of to-be-transported entities (TBTEs) that are each associated with a respective pick-up position and a respective drop-off position; determining a set of one or more transport routes (TRs), each of the TRs associated with a respective transport entity (TE) and defining a respective sequence of waypoints, wherein the set of TRs is determined to at least fulfil a criterion that, for each of the TBTEs, the pick-up position and drop-off position are associated with respective waypoints of the same respective TR or the pick-up position is associated with a respective waypoint of one TR and the drop-off position is associated with a respective waypoint of another TR that is connected with the one TR; and providing respective representations of at least a part of the TRs to the respective TEs associated with the TRs.

Abstract: A membrane reactor for the manufacture of plant protein hydrolysates, the membrane reactor comprising a substrate vessel adapted to provide a plant protein substrate to an enzyme source, a continuously stirred reactor comprising the enzyme source, and an ultrafiltration module comprising a membrane with a molecular cut-off wherein the membrane is adapted to allow passage of the plant protein hydrolysate while retaining the enzyme.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polynucleotide or a pair of polynucleotides encoding an enzyme having nitrile hydratase (NHase) [E.C. 4.2.1.84] activity. Furthermore, a vector and a host comprising the disclosed polynucleotide or pair of polynucleotides and methods for the production of the same are provided.

Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator for operating a cylinder valve in an internal combustion engine includes first and second housings secured to one another. Each housing has a cavity and a through bore extending therefrom. First and second electromagnets are disposed in the cavity of the respective housings. Each electromagnet has a yoke, a coil and a pole face. The pole faces are oriented toward and spaced from one another, and a reciprocating armature is disposed between the pole faces. A spring which urges the armature away from the first electromagnet has an end oriented away from the armature. A support cap is axially insertable in the through bore of the first electromagnet and includes a cap base having an inner face supporting the spring end. A locking arrangement secures the support cap to the housing and has a component axially insertable in the through bore with the support cap.
