Abstract: A system for feeding electric power to a first consumer (1) comprises an input filter (6) with an input configured to be connected to a DC energy source and a DC intermediate link (3) connected to an output (14) of the input filter. A converter (12) is with an input connected to the DC intermediate link and has an output to be connected to said first consumer (1). The unit (16) controls the converter to obtain feeding of electric power requested by the first consumer independently of variations of the voltage on the DC link (3). An assembly is configured to act stabilizing on that voltage by controlling the converter to add a first power component to the power to be fed to the consumer. A second consumer (19) is controlled to consume a second power component to either assist the control of the converter to obtain the stabilization or alone take care thereof.

Abstract: A sample ampoule for calorimetric measurements includes a vial, a lid and a sealing member. The vial, lid and sealing member are adapted to form a hermetically sealed sample ampoule. The vial has a first contact surface and the lid has a second contact surface, the first and second contact surfaces are in contact with each other in a sealed position of the ampoule, and the vial and lid are formed out of materials with different strength.

Abstract: A sample holder adapted to parallel sample isothermal calorimetry performed using microtiter plate layout and horizontal sample loading with a mechanism where the individual sample vials can be individually vertically variable. The sample holder includes a sample holder plate and a surrounding frame, where the sample holder plate is constructed of a multi material low mass multi-layer sandwich and the surrounding frame is constructed of a low mass material with high heat conductivity.

Abstract: A sample vial for calorimetric measurements is of low mass, and the vial is at least partially coated with an infrared reflective coating on the outside of the vial. A lid is adapted to form an ampoule together with the vial.

Abstract: A method and system for producing authenticable and traceable hardcopies of electronically stored information sets is disclosed. Printable versions of the electronically stored information sets are received and the printable versions of said electronically stored information sets are printed on a set of individually unique sheets of security paper. A correlation is stored of each information set of said electronically stored information sets with each sheet of the set of individually unique sheets of security paper having at least a portion of a printable version of the information set printed thereon.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of maintaining the pressure difference in a heat treatment plant such as, for example, a pasteurizer for liquid foods. In a temporary production disruption, the insufficiently treated product is caused to recycle by a return stroke. The pressure difference is maintained in that the already heat-treated product is enclosed in a conduit on the downstream side (14) of the plant, and that the space for the product in the conduit is restricted. The space for the product is restricted either in that a food gas is led into the conduit, or alternatively that the product conduit (29) is provided with an expansive portion (27). The expansive portion (27) consists of a pipe length (28) with an inner elastic wall (30) which expands by means of a gas or a liquid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to human metalloprotease M8 polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules coding for such polypeptides. The invention further relates to vectors and cells comprising the nucleic acid molecules, as well as to methods for screening for test compounds which affect the insulin-signaling pathway.
