Abstract: A clamping device for acting onto a medical tubing includes a clamp arrangeable on the medical tubing and displaceable between an open position in which the clamp unblocks the medical tubing and a close position in which the clamp closes the medical tubing. The clamping device further includes a drive system configured to act on the clamp for switching the clamp between the open position and the close position. The clamping device also includes a main control circuit and a secondary control circuit electronically independent from the main control circuit, and a relay switchable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the relay electronically couples the drive system to the main control circuit while the drive system is electronically decoupled from the secondary control circuit. In the second position, the relay electronically couples the drive system to the secondary control circuit while the drive system is electronically decoupled from the main control circuit.

Abstract: Described is a reproducible, effective and scalable process for parvovirus production including characterization strategies, preferably production of H-1PV.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an image registration method and apparatus. The method includes: determining a target plane; orthogonally projecting the optical center of each of the cameras in the planar camera array onto the target plane, to obtain a projected point of the optical center of each of the cameras; generating a rectangular grid on the target plane according to the projected points of the optical centers of the cameras in the planar camera array; obtaining a target grid point of each of the cameras according to the rectangular grid; determining a target camera coordinate system of each of the cameras; and registering, images collected by the cameras in the planar camera array. In embodiments of the present disclosure a target camera coordinate system of a camera is determined again, thereby greatly reducing complexity of subsequent image registration.

Abstract: The present invention provides block copolymers comprising at least one covalent polymer block and at least one supramolecular polymer block, processes for their preparations and uses thereof.

Abstract: Described is an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof specifically binding to a full or empty H-1 parvovirus capsid. Such an antibody is useful for various diagnostic and therapeutic methods, e.g., for the detection/therapy of an H-1 parvovirus infection during pregnancy since parvovirus affects about 1 in 400 pregnancies and may cause fetal loss or fetal hydrops.

Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror for vehicles, in particular for passenger vehicles, has a mirror foot which can be fixed on a front door below a vehicle belt line. The vehicle has a door formed of an outer panel which is provided with an opening, and an inner reinforcement. An extremely rigid, play-free and simply configured connection of the mirror foot to the inner reinforcement of the door is obtained in that a lower end region of a supporting part of the mirror foot is guided through the opening in the outer panel and is connected within the door directly to the inner reinforcement of the door via a self-centering mounting and a central fastening screw.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has an exterior rearview mirror, which is fixed to a vehicle door by a mirror baseplate. An opening, through which the mirror baseplate engages, is provided in an outer skin of the vehicle door, and the mirror baseplate is secured by a multi-point support and a central attachment screw. The mirror baseplate contains, at its free end, a conical attachment which engages in an opening of a door shaft reinforcement, formed as an extruded profile part, a hollow profile part, or a profiled sheet-stamped part, of the vehicle door, as a result of which the exterior rearview mirror is pre-positioned in a positionally correct fashion in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The mirror baseplate is additionally supported on the door shaft reinforcement by a five-point support.
