Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of benzoquinones, in particular to the manufacture of a potassium salt of a benzoquinone, such as 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone di-potassium salt. The potassium salt of a benzoquinone is obtained by oxidation of a hydroquinone using potassium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, which results in an efficient process with high yields.

Abstract: A wind deflector for a convertible vehicle includes a lower frame, which can be fixedly mounted to the vehicle, and an upper frame, on which a wind deflector is formed. The upper frame can be pivoted relative to the lower frame about a deployment axis, between a laid-down position and a wind protection position, by use of a drive. The upper frame and the lower frame are pivotably interconnected via at least two bearing points. The upper frame is operatively connected to the lower frame by a drive thread, and the drive thread is operatively connected to the drive. One of the bearing points has at least one preloading device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data protection system that performs identification of errors from queries on a database. The data protection system can further identify corrupted data from additional errors, are difficult to detect, and occur between layers of data in the database system. The data protection system can perform corrections of the error data by rebuilding database data or removing the corrupted data.

Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting one or more characteristics of cells with patch clamp electrodes, wherein the used patch clamp electrodes are cleaned by application of ultrasonic vibrations.

Abstract: A dynamic broadcast system as well as a terminal and a control device for use in such a dynamic broadcast system are presented. Transmission parameters, transmission times and transmission paths used for broadcasting and providing content, either via a broadcast network or a broadband network to terminals used in the dynamic broadcast system are dynamically controlled. Further, a decision logic is provided that dynamically decides transmission parameters, transmission times and transmission paths used for broadcasting and providing content based on monitoring data carrying information on user specific content usage and/or transmission quality data carrying information on the quality of a transmission link between a broadband server and a terminal and/or of a reception of content broadcast by a broadcast transmitter.
