Abstract: A method for adjusting or controlling at least one actuator in a vehicle (1), for example an electrical servo motor (2) for a seat (3), a tripping mechanism of an airbag (4), or a display device (5) in the vehicle (1), comprising the following steps: capturing an image or a video of a preferably sitting person in the vehicle (1) through an image capturing unit (6) in 2D or 3D arranged in the vehicle (1), extracting the body data of the person through a data processing unit (7) and generation of a body data model (8) from the body data through a data processing unit (7), comparing the body data model (8) with a plurality of reference body poses (11) obtained from a database (10) through a comparator unit (9) and selecting a corresponding reference body pose (11), activating an actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose (11) with a setting of the actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose (11) through an activation unit (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for determining features of the interior (1) of a vehicle (2) with at least one image capturing unit (3), a data processing unit (4) and a database (5), comprising the capturing, by the image capturing unit (3), of a photo (11) or video of the interior (1) and transmission to the data processing unit (4), the analysis of the photo (11) or video in the data processing unit (4) by a sequential data processing chain (10) of program modules (12, 12?, 12?), comprising the steps of rough analysis for the localisation of persons and objects and generation of body and object images (15, 15?, 15?), detailed analysis of the body and object images (15, 15?, 15?), extraction of body and object data (7), and storage, by the data processing unit (4), of the determined body and object data (7) in a hierarchical data model (9) in the database (5).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of imparting or increasing resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular soy-beanrust, in plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the content of scopoletin, scopolin and/or, most preferably, scoparone (6,7-di-methoxycoumarin) in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell. This can in particular be achieved by establishing and/or increasing the expression of an OMT3 enzyme and an F6H1 protein in the respective plant, plant part and/or plant cell; a further way would be to apply a formulation or solution containing scopoletin and/or, most preferably, scoparone to the plant, plant part and/or plant cell. The invention correspondingly also provides proteins, enzymes, expression constructs, plants, plant parts and/or plant cells. In this respect the invention also provides variants of the OMT3 enzyme.

Abstract: Fluorinated metal nanoparticles (f-MNPs) are metal nanoparticles and/or semiconductor nanoparticles having a plurality of fluorinated alkyl ligands attached to the surfaces of the nanoparticles where the f-MNPs are greater than 20 nm in cross-section. The f-MNPs can be used as a surfactant to form active f-MNPs stabilized aqueous droplet, which can be used in a light-mediated microfluidic device where droplet movement, merging, splitting, and sorting can be carried out as directed by one or more laser beams focused onto one or more spots of light-mediated microfluidic device.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas treatment unit includes a housing with a first end and an oppositely disposed second end, a tube extending from the first end to the second end and serving as an inflow region for an exhaust gas, a deflecting region in the vicinity of the second end for the exhaust gas, and a return flow region extending between the tube and the housing. In the deflecting region, the exhaust gas is mixed and transferred into the return flow region. A method for mixing an exhaust gas in an exhaust-gas treatment unit and a vehicle having the exhaust-gas treatment unit and carrying out the method, are also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a fully or partially biodegradable carrier for the delivery of biologically active agents which are associated, either directly or indirectly, with the carrier via a biodegradable linking agent and the use of the carrier in the delivery of bioactive molecules for therapy and imaging, in particular the delivery of agents to mitochondria.

Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning device for a watercraft includes at least a particle filter and/or an SCR catalytic converter and a heat exchanger disposed upstream thereof. The heat exchanger is operated with seawater as a cooling medium. The heat exchanger has an exhaust gas inlet side and an exhaust gas outlet side and is suitable for reducing a volumetric flow rate of an exhaust gas between the exhaust gas inlet side and the exhaust gas outlet side by a certain value in a certain temperature range of the exhaust gas at the exhaust gas inlet side. A watercraft and a method for operating an exhaust gas cleaning device for a watercraft are also provided.

Abstract: A film container (FIG. 4) comprises two rectangular films (5) joined together at their periphery to form a receiving chamber (6) for a filling (7), particularly a pharmaceutical formulation of an active substance, at least one of said films (5) being provided, for the purpose of tearing it open, with a marking (13) formed within the connecting region, which is exposed after the films (5) have been bent. The marking (13) extends centrally between two opposing outer edges (11) of the film container (1).
