Abstract: The present invention relates to the monitoring of the labor period. The gold standard is currently the monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR). However, the FHR monitoring is not satisfying since it leads to low false-negative and high false-positive rates. That's why the inventors worked on a more accurate device. Thus, the present invention proposes an intrapartum measurement probe combining several modalities among which ECG and NIRS to accurately and rapidly recognize oxygen delivery and tissue hypoxia in the critically labor situation.

Abstract: Cells comprising a heterologous nucleic acid sequence that encodes for a trehalase enzyme and optionally a heterologous nucleic acid sequence that encodes for a trehalose transporter protein are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cells, methods of adoptive cell transfer comprising administering the cells and methods of determining suitability of a subject for the performance of the methods are also provided. A pharmaceutical composition comprising pharmaceutical grade trehalose is also provided, as is a kit comprising both compositions of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new anthelmintic compounds. These compounds can for example be used in the treatment of the kind of worm disease caused by helminths such as Dirofilaria, in particular Dirofilaria immitis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a quality assessment result and a laser cutting machine for cutting workpieces at a processing point. The laser cutting machine is designed as having: a laser cutting head which is mounted so as to be movable at least in an X-direction and defines a beam propagation direction of a laser beam; a storage device for storing the workpiece to be cut; a machine frame with at least one frame part; at least one airborne sound sensor, which can be moved in the X-direction relative to the frame part, wherein the at least one airborne sound sensor is arranged in the beam propagation direction after, in particular below, the processing point and oriented towards the latter.

Abstract: An article of footwear can include an upper and a sole member coupled to the upper, where the sole member comprises a plurality of spaced apart apertures extending through the sole member. The article of footwear can further include a plurality of individual sensory nodes, where each sensory node has a first end coupled directly to the upper and an opposite, second end configured to engage with a ground surface. Each sensory node is configured to translate freely within a respective aperture of the sole member.

Abstract: A control unit for providing control instructions for controlling a laser cutting machine by determining transition phases for transforming different dynamic laser beam shapes for the laser cutting machine, for dynamically varying the shape of the laser beam is disclosed. The control unit includes a cutting plan interface for receiving a cutting plan for cutting out parts of a workpiece that are each defined by a cutting segments ordered in a queue, an allocation tool configured to allocate a specific dynamic laser beam shape to each cutting segment, a transition tool for determining transition phases between each two consecutive specific dynamic laser beam shape, and a processor configured for determining a specific dynamic laser beam shape for each cutting segment and for determining all transition phases between each two consecutive specific dynamic laser beam shapes and for providing controlling the laser cutting machine for executing the received cutting plan.

Abstract: A control unit for determining a dynamic laser beam shape for controlling a laser cutting machine, which is provided with a dynamic beam shaping module for varying the shape of the laser beam. The control unit includes a cutting plan interface, which is configured for receiving a cutting plan, an interface to a shape storage with a stored set of dynamic laser beam shapes, in particular more than two, and a processor which is configured for automatically calculating for each of the cutting segments an allocation to a dynamic laser beam shape of the set of dynamic laser beam shapes, wherein calculating the allocation is based on the property indicator of the workpiece and is specific for the respective cutting segment. The processor is further configured for providing control instructions for controlling the laser cutting machine by applying the determined dynamic laser beams shapes for each cutting segment specifically.

Abstract: An adjusting ring for a moving walkway or an escalator can include a hollow cylindrical annular body and at least one adjusting screw. An outside diameter of the annular body is greater than an inner outside ring diameter of an outer ring of a roller bearing arranged adjacently in the assembled state. Furthermore, the adjusting ring can include at least one annular groove arranged concentrically to the inside diameter in a lateral ring face of the annular body which is directed against the roller bearing in the assembled state.
