Abstract: A window pane assembly for a vehicle includes a window pane that moves in a receiving gap of a receiving shaft between a closed position and an open position. The window pane completely covers a window opening in the closed position and at least partially exposes the window opening in the open position. The window pane includes a first edge region facing the vehicle roof and a second edge region located opposite the first edge region and received in the receiving gap of the receiving shaft. The window pane has a wedge-shaped thickened section on an outer face of the window pane at the second edge region. The thickened section engages an outer seal element when the window is set in the closed position and the vehicle is driving. The thickened section is spatially separated from the outer seal element when the vehicle is parked.

Abstract: A pixelated X-ray conversion screen includes a metal aperture sheet having a pixel hole filled with a scintillator material, wherein an area of the pixel hole is equal to or less than about 0.25 mm2.

Abstract: In certain aspects, an enclosure for a wireless power transfer pad is disclosed. The enclosure includes a cover shell configured to be positioned over a portion of the wireless power transfer pad configured to face a wireless power receiver when wirelessly transferring power, wherein at least a portion of the cover shell is made of a heat resistant material.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising: accessing fitting data representative of fitting parameters set by a fitting application to fit a hearing device to a user; determining user behavior data indicative of a hearing intention of the user in an auditory scene where the user is located; determining auditory scene data representative of information about the auditory scene; and implementing, based on the fitting data, the user behavior data, and the auditory scene data, a sound processing delay scheme for use by the hearing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to substituted S-alaninate derivatives and to processes for their preparation, and also to their use for preparing medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular vascular disorders, preferably thrombotic or thromboembolic disorders and/or thrombotic or thromboembolic complications.

Abstract: Crosslinkable adhesive compound comprising at least a first base polymer component having functional groups suitable for covalent crosslinking and for coordinative crosslinking, and comprising at least one covalent crosslinker and at least one coordinative crosslinker, wherein the coordinative crosslinker is present in molar excess in relation to the covalent crosslinker.

Abstract: Ceramic-metallic composites are disclosed along with the processes for their manufacture. The present invention improves high temperature strength of Al2O3—Al composites by displacing aluminum in the finished product with other substances that enhance the high temperature strength. Each process commences with a preform initially composed of at least 5% by weight silicon dioxide, and the finished product includes Al2O3, aluminum and another substance.

Abstract: A roller carriage arrangement for a door or a window of a building, wherein the window or the door has a fixed frame and a leaf which can be released from the fixed frame and which can be displaced relative to the fixed frame together with the roller carriage arrangement.

Abstract: Ceramic-metallic composites are disclosed along with the equipment and processes for their manufacture. The present invention improves the densities of these composites by eliminating porosity through the use of a unique furnace system that applies vacuum and positive gas pressure during specific stages of processing. In the fabrication of Al2O3—Al composites, each process commences with a preform initially composed of at least 5% by weight silicon dioxide, and the finished product includes aluminum oxide and aluminum, and possibly other substances.

Abstract: A solid-state optical refrigerator for cryogenic cooling of a payload, the solid-state optical refrigerator including a laser cooling crystal including a first material and a dopant material; a thermal link including a second material, the thermal link being bonded to the laser cooling crystal and the thermal link being configured to be thermally linked to the payload to transfer heat conductively from the payload to the laser cooling crystal via the thermal link; and a vacuum chamber housing the laser cooling crystal and the thermal link, the vacuum chamber and thermal link having a combination of shape and coating such that laser and fluorescence light reflected off a wall of the vacuum chamber and laser and fluorescence light propagating within the thermal link are not incident on the payload.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for assisting the driver of a motor vehicle while driving through an intersection or road junction where at least three roads converge in a transition area. A future motion of an own or ego vehicle is estimated, and a future motion of a second vehicle is estimated. The probability of a collision between the own vehicle and the second vehicle is estimated based on the respective future motions. A search for a roadway marking arranged in the transition area is executed. If a roadway marking is found, the future motion of at least one of the own vehicle and second vehicle is estimated based on the detected roadway marking. A risk-reducing manuever is executed when the estimated collision probability exceeds a limiting value.

Abstract: A fitting assembly for a window or door includes a leaf tiltable and detachable from, and slidable parallel to, the fixed window or door frame, and a control element with a fastener mountable permanently on the frame and an insertion part pivotable and slidable relative to the fastener. In an insertion position, in which a control pin is pushable into the insertion part, an insertion part end section lies preferably partially against the fastener for conducting away control pin-insertion part impact into the fastener via the end section. The insertion part may pivot out of interlocking engagement with the fastener by a control arm on which the control pin may be located or formed, such that subsequently the insertion part can slide via the control pin. The control element can have a freewheel mechanism for pivoting the insertion part only during fitting assembly opening and not during closing.
