Abstract: A method for producing a recombinant protein of interest (POI) is provided, comprising the steps of (a) culturing cells in a cell culture medium to express said POI by adding a feed comprising at least one substrate to said cell culture, (b) applying a feeding strategy based on calculating, setting and optionally controlling the specific substrate uptake rate qs of the cells during the induction phase and/or production phase of the POI, wherein qs is set to be close to the maintenance rate of the cell culture; and (c) isolating said POI from the cell culture.

Abstract: A method for implementing and attaching at least one structure-integrated optical waveguide in a laminate component. In the method, at least one optical waveguide is introduced at a predetermined position during a laying procedure of a laminate to produce a laminate component. Furthermore, the laminate component is finished, wherein the optical waveguide is completely enclosed by the laminate. Furthermore, at least one end of the optical waveguide is exposed. Furthermore, a coupling component is attached to the at least one exposed end.

Abstract: A method for connecting a first part, composed of a difficult to solder material, with a second part. A wetting of a first surface of the first part, to be connected with the second part, with a first solder, and connecting the first solder with the first surface of the first part, takes place by introducing heat and ultrasound energy. A wetting of a second surface of the second part, to be connected with the first part, with a second solder takes place. Subsequently, machining of the surface of the first solder is carried out for removal of an oxide layer. Then the first and the second solder covered surfaces are brought into contact with one another, to form a unit. This is followed by exposing the unit to a temperature within a predetermined temperature range, which has an upper temperature limit of less than 800° C.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for absorbing energy in a motor vehicle seat in the case of a collision etc., and to an energy-absorption device for implementing said method. The method comprises the step of providing a removable deformation element in or at the vehicle seat, preferably in a space thereto provided in the fitting provided for inclining the backrest of the vehicle seat. The energy-absorption device implemented as the deformation element comprises at least one deformation portion which is deformable in a collision, thus absorbing energy. The invention is also directed to a fitting for inclining the backrest, the fitting having a space for mounting the deformation element. The invention is in especially provided to avoid in particular damages to the nape of the neck in the case of collisions from the rear.

Abstract: A microreactor with at least one cavity, which comprises a bottom, a side wall and an opening disposed opposite the bottom, has a cross-section intersecting the side wall parallel to the bottom, the cross-section having a shape diverging from a round, square or rectangular shape.
