Abstract: Generally, the present invention relates to the field of steroid hydroxylation. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for the 21-hydroxylation of steroids in cells. It also relates to cells expressing a steroid 21-hydroxylating enzyme or steroid 21-hydroxylase, expression vectors comprising a nucleic acid encoding for a steroid 21-hydroxylase and a kit for carrying out the method for the 21-hydroxylation of steroids in cells.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, with a drive device for providing a driving torque as well as a detection device for detecting at least one other motor vehicle up ahead. An automatic length guidance of the motor vehicle is carried out. In this case, it is provided that, in the framework of the length guidance, a distance of the motor vehicle from the other motor vehicle is adjusted to a nominal distance. The nominal distance corresponds to a distance setting at constant distance, and starting from the distance setting, it is increased in the event of a distance change resulting from a positive acceleration of the other motor vehicle, and it is reduced in the event of a distance change resulting from a negative acceleration of the other motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for coordinating a charging operation for charging an energy storage mechanism of a piloted motor vehicle. A control mechanism that is external to the vehicle carries out: provision of a state-of-charge signal, which describes a current state of charge; provision of a schedule calendar signal, which describes schedule information of a user, on the basis of the provided schedule calendar signal; establishing a point in time of the time schedule; establishment of a state of charge as a threshold value required for adhering to the time schedule; if the current state of charge corresponds to the threshold value or drops below the threshold value, setting of geographic coordinates of a charging station as a drive destination that makes available at least one charging facility for charging the energy storage mechanism, and generation of a control signal for steering the motor vehicle.
