Abstract: A performance instrument for a vehicle wherein an electronic device receives one or more operational quantities from internal sensors and/or external sensors and represents the one or more operational quantities as an analog clock face so that each clock hand is a function of one of the one or more operational quantities. The analog clock face representation provides at-a-glance apparency of the operational quantities for a user of the vehicle.

Abstract: A laminate for forming objects that include Sodium Polyacrylate includes an adhesive substrate and a layer of Sodium Polyacrylate powder. The adhesive substrate includes a first surface facing a first direction away from the substrate, a second surface facing a second direction away from the substrate, and a thickness defined by the distance between the first surface and the second surface. The Sodium Polyacrylate is adhered to at least one of the first and second surfaces.

Abstract: An anesthesia device supplying a first and second anesthetic in a quantitatively settable, controlled manner. A data processing unit with a corresponding display is set up for determining the current concentrations in the plasma or at the site of action from continuously supplied data on the quantities of the anesthetics administered with a module for a pharmacokinetic compartment model calculation and for storing these concentration values. Concentration data is predicted for at least one point in time in the future. An action module provides a curve of an anesthesia action parameter as a function of the concentrations of the anesthetics. A display module displays a diagram showing the sequence of concentration of the first or second anesthetic, and the predicted concentration.
