Abstract: The invention relates to a device designed for the cultivation and radiation-induced killing of living biological cells. The device comprises a flat substrate and a functional layer for creating a wound in biological cells, said functional layer being applied to the flat substrate. The functional layer contains at least one photosensitizer which is designed to convert triplet oxygen into singlet oxygen by the application of electromagnetic radiation. As a result, biological cells on the functional layer can be killed by irradiation of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation. A wound can be introduced into a cell layer at a locally defined point easily, quickly, carefully, and in a flexible and cost-effective manner and thus the healing of the wound can be studied. The invention further relates to uses of the devices and a method for analyzing a migration and/or wound healing behavior of biological cells.

Abstract: Technology relating to a sump pump monitor is provided herein. A sump pump monitor includes a water level sensor to measure a level of water in a pit of the sump pump, an overflow sensor to detect whether an overflow of the water is present in the pit of the sump pump, and a power monitor to monitor electric power delivered to the sump pump. The power monitor is also to transmit one or more signals indicative of an operational issue associated with the sump pump based on the level of the water, the overflow of the water, and the electric power.

Abstract: A bracket of a window regulator is provided. The bracket having: a first securement feature integrally formed with the bracket for securing a clutch housing to the bracket; and a second securement feature for locking the first securement feature in engagement with the clutch housing, wherein the second securement feature is integrally formed with the bracket.
