  • Publication number: 20180222961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

  • Patent number: 9617752
    Abstract: A tower structure for a wind power plant permits very high hub heights in a cooperation of internal prestress, guying, and a torsionally rigid tower shaft. The tower structure has a tower shaft, a foundation and a transition piece in a he region of an upper end of the tower shaft. Guy elements are inclined towards a longitudinal axis of the tower shaft, and extend radially outside an outer skin of the tower shaft. Tension members are radially inside the outer skin to prestress the tower shaft vertically at least in sections. The tower shaft is made of prestressed concrete in a region between the transition piece and the foundation. To control resonance behavior, prestressing and guy elements are acted upon with a variable tensile stress which varies and influences natural frequencies of the tower structure such that no interferences occur between excitation frequencies and the natural frequencies, and such that an aerodynamic absorption is also possible.

  • Publication number: 20160325595
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the damping force of adjustable dampers in motor vehicles, particularly in commercial vehicles. The control of the damping force of adjustable dampers is effected in dependence on at least one parameter from which a chassis requirement and/or a road condition can be derived and which is provided by an off-board data source and the current values of which are received by the motor vehicle in driving mode.

  • Patent number: 9016029
    Abstract: A method of erecting, and a method of servicing or dismantling, a wind energy plant with a hub height of at least 140 meters makes provision that a heavy-duty lifting device is temporarily disposed on a tower top for any installing, exchanging, or disassembling purposes, and subsequently is dismantled immediately, with all these operations being carried out without using an external crane. A light-duty lifting device attached to the tower serves for erecting the tower, so that no external large-scale cranes are required. For disassembling or exchanging the large components, an auxiliary lifting device is able to transport the heavy-duty lifting device to the top of the tower and is also capable of lowering the heavy-duty lifting device from there.

  • Publication number: 20140036086
    Abstract: An access-monitoring device of an elevator installation includes at least one video unit, wherein the video unit is connected to a control unit via a communications network. The video unit records at least one image of a defined monitoring space of the access-monitoring device. The video unit filters out a non-changing part of the at least one image and evaluates the remaining image part as to whether there is an object in the monitoring space. In the case of there being an object in the monitoring space, the video unit communicates data to the control unit. The control unit checks, in dependence on the data communicated, the authorization of the object in the monitoring space and determines either the direction of movement or the location of the object within the monitoring space.

  • Publication number: 20130340681
    Abstract: An improved reinforcement and exhaust arrangement is provided for a reduced pressure processing chamber. The arrangement is particularly advantageous for plasma processing chambers of large substrates (one square meter or larger) under a reduced pressure. The arrangement includes channels formed along sidewalls of the process chamber, and into which exhaust outlets from the chamber communicate. The channels provide support to the sidewalls and convey the exhaust gases to a port at a location at which the gases can be conveniently pumped from the system. In an example, plural outlets from the chamber are in communication with a common channel or channels which provide a flow path to a single exhaust port. As a result, although plural outlets extend from the interior of the chamber to the exterior of the chamber, only a single connection to the exhaust pump need be provided.

  • Publication number: 20130333616
    Abstract: A substrate processing system includes a vertically movable chamber section so that chamber sections are vertically separable to provide open and closed positions of a processing chamber or reactor, such as a plasma enhanced CVD chamber. In the open position, substrates are loaded and unloaded from the processing chamber, while in the closed position an enclosed processing volume is provided for processing substrates, particularly for processing large substrates (e.g., one square meter or larger) with a small gap (3-10 mm) between electrodes. Plural processing chambers can be provided and coupled to an actuator assembly for simultaneously vertically moving a chamber section or chamber portion of each processing chamber. Lift pins for receiving and positioning of substrates within the processing chambers can also be moved by the actuator assembly. A removable mounting arrangement is also provided for the lift pins.

  • Patent number: 8448918
    Abstract: A gate valve for a vacuum chamber comprises two carriers (5a) each connected to a frame structure providing an essentially plane front by two parallel links (6) and to an actuating rod (12a) by parallel levers (14). Upward motion of the actuating rods (12a) by a piston (17) causes, via the levers (14), upward motion of the carriers (5a) which is transformed into a circular motion by the links (6) where the carriers (5a) at the same time approach the front while remaining parallel to it, moving sealing plates (9) which are fixed to the carriers (5a) to an active position where they press against the front and seal openings (3) therein. Retraction of the piston (17) effects an inverse motion, whereby the sealing plates (9) are completely removed from the openings (3) and the latter made easily accessible.
