Abstract: A device (1) for determining the concentration of a gas component is configured with a radiation source (30) for radiating (31) light as a light emission in an infrared wavelength range. Two detector arrays (52, 62) with two detector elements (50, 60) are configured suitably for detecting the light emission generated by the radiation source (30) in two detector arrays (52, 62). Two filter elements (51, 61) are associated with the detector elements (50, 60). The two detector elements (50, 60) are oriented in relation to the radiation source, so that a range of overlap (65) is obtained due to the two detector arrays (52, 62). The range of overlap (65) causes attenuations in the propagation of light, which may be due to gas molecules or moisture (400). The attenuations in the propagation of light affect both detector elements (50, 60) and are compensated concerning the determination of the concentration.

Abstract: A flow tube (10) has a housing (12, 14) including at least a first housing half (12) and a second housing half (14). Each housing half (12, 14) has a connection surface (20, 22) intended for combination with the other housing half (12, 14). The connection surfaces (20, 22) enclose a mounting gap (30) for an orifice element (16). Outside of the mounting gap (30) the connection surfaces (20, 22) butt against each other in some sections by respective abutting surface portions (32, 34), and outside of the mounting gap (30) and outside of the abutting surface portions (32, 34) the housing halves (12, 14) are integrally combined with each other. A method is provided for producing the flow tube, namely for integrally joining the housing halves (12, 14).

Abstract: A device (1) for determining the concentration of a gas component is configured with a radiation source (30) for emitting (31) a light radiation or heat radiation in an infrared wavelength range. A detector array (40) has at least two detector elements (50, 60), configured to detect the radiation generated by the radiation source (30), in an angular arrangement (52, 62) and with filter elements (51, 61). At least one of the two detector elements (50, 60) is oriented in an angular arrangement (52, 62) in relation to a vertical axis (32), so that a range of overlap (65) is obtained due to the angular arrangements (52, 62). The range of overlap (65) causes attenuations in the propagation of light, which attenuations may be due, for example, to gas molecules or moisture (400), affect both detector elements (50, 60) and are thus compensated concerning the concentration determination.

Abstract: Engineers at a software maker can insert software markers, making a compiler provide object code markers that appear to invoke activities from the protection library, but actually have the effect of providing information to a protection process. The engineers can build a protected object file, from which a software protection tool can provide an executable file. The software protection tool can include any tool that can use a pointer to a program statement, including creating DLL's. Alternatively, the system can identify object code markers by their referencing known functions from CALL instructions.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for synthesizing furanosteroids. The method involves intramolecular Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder reaction and tautomerization of a functionalized alkyne oxazole to produce a furo[2,3-b]phenol derivative which is elaborated by intermolecular and intramolecular condensations to generate ring-A of the furanosteroid. Furanosteroids and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same are also provided.
