Abstract: The invention relates to collections of target-specific designed binding proteins based on armadillo repeat proteins, and to a method of generating them. Designed armadillo repeat proteins are based on consensus sequences of single armadillo repeat units. These repeat proteins can be used as scaffolds for peptide recognition. Such a scaffold provides a binding mode that is in principle the same for every small recognizable unit, e.g. an amino acid or dipeptide, allowing a precise and modular recognition of a peptide in extended conformation. The method allows to generate a series of modules recognizing these simple units, and to combine such building blocks to create a binding site for any desired peptide target without performing additional selections.

Abstract: A method for determining an occupancy related status relating to a vehicle seat by means of a foil-type pressure sensing mat comprises the steps of determining a raw sensor resistance value of said plurality of pressure sensing cells, determining a raw compensation resistance value of said at least one compensation resistance, calculating a compensated sensor resistance value based on said raw sensor resistance value and said raw compensation resistance value, and determining said occupancy related status based on said compensated sensor resistance value.

Abstract: A modified sorptive lignocellulosic fibre material with hydroxyl groups on the lignocellulosic fibres doubly modified by esterification with a combination of monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acid ester groups. A process for the preparation of the sorptive material. The sorptive fibre material is effective for the removal of oils and other contaminants including heavy metals from a fluid such as contaminated water by a combined sorption of hydrophobic contaminants and ion exchange.

Abstract: SOFC cell comprising a metallic support 1 ending in a substantially pure electron conducting oxide, an active anode layer 2 consisting of doped ceria, ScYSZ, Ni—Fe alloy, an electrolyte layer 3 consisting of co-doped zirconia based on oxygen ionic conductor, an active cathode layer 5 and a layer of a mixture of LSM and a ferrite as a transition layer 6 to a cathode current collector 7 of single phase LSM. The use of a metallic support instead of a Ni—YSZ anode support increases the mechanical strength of the support and secures redox stability of the support. The porous ferrite stainless steel ends in a pure electron conducting oxide so as to prevent reactivity between the metals in the active anode which tends to dissolve into the ferrite stainless steel causing a detrimental phase shift from ferrite to austenite structure.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a portable system for distributing building materials comprising a motor vehicle which can be in the form of a truck. Disposed on a flat bed of the truck is at least one container coupled to the motor vehicle. The container can include at least one stirrer wherein the stirrer is for stirring a first component in the container. There can be at least one mixer coupled to the motor vehicle wherein the mixer is for mixing at least one liquid component with the component in the container to form a slurry. Once the slurry is formed, it can be fed to at least one distribution feeder which is then used to feed materials to a job site. This system can include a computer for controlling the mixer, and the distribution feeder to control the distribution of this slurry material. The disclosure can also relate to a process for creating the dry mixture, the slurry and then distributing this slurry so as to create a building component such as a floor.

Abstract: An aspect-oriented document that controls both the granularity of functionality and content integration. As such, embodiments of the innovation enable programmatic interoperability prompted via the content of a document. The document-centric environment can utilize an aspect-oriented document component that controls/dictates appropriate expert applications based at least in part upon content of the data. These aspect-oriented documents shift the focus from the application to the data. As such, in this novel environment, many applications can operate on the same data file, each doing its piece. A novel feature of the innovation is a collaboration model where fragments of project information are each maintained with expert applications or applets and can expose data to each other to tie different dimensions together.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating pectin-containing plant materials in a manner to obtain fibre-containing pectin products, and subsequently pectin products, having an high molecular weight of the pectin polymer and a homogeneous distribution of the deesterified sites in the pectin polymer and thereby providing products having improved gelforming and/or viscous giving properties.

Abstract: A golf club head has a body having a top, a sole, a toe end, a heel end, and a forward wall. The forward wall defines a front opening about which a face support is disposed. The face support receives a face plate, thereby enclosing the front opening of the body. The face support includes portions proximate to the top, the toe end, and the heel end, each portion having a peripheral member extending rearward from the forward wall and a rear member extending inward from the peripheral member, with respect to the front opening. The face support can be combined with a preferred face construction and weight elements to optimize club head performance to help a golfer achieve greater distance and control.
