Abstract: An induction module with integrated exhaust gas recirculation may include a housing defining a housing interior and having a first housing wall with at least one air inlet for conducting fresh air into the housing interior and a second housing wall with at least one fluid outlet. A charge-air cooler may be arranged in the housing interior. A mixing chamber may define at least part of the housing interior and may be delimited by the charge-air cooler and the second housing wall. An exhaust line may be arranged in the mixing chamber having at least one exhaust gas outlet that may be in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. The charge-air cooler and the exhaust line may be arranged in the housing such that the exhaust gas communicated into the mixing chamber may bypass the charge-air cooler.

Abstract: The invention lies in the field of optical metrology and related to optical coherence tomography (OCT). In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the depth-dependent adaptation of the dynamic range of an OCT system to the profile of the backscattered power to be measured. The dynamic range of the measuring method can therefore be decoupled from the dynamic range of the analog/digital converter used. The invention is used, in particular, in the characterization of strongly scattering or strongly absorbing biological or technical samples.

Abstract: A surface with selectable adhesion is achieved by a shape memory alloy that is at least partly coated with a polymer forming a surface structure, thus allowing the adhesion force of the surface to be controlled.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, computer program product and system are provided for initiating a request for acknowledgment of successfully, or unsuccessfully, transmitted data packets, wherein the request is initiated in response to the detection of a potential overload situation or an upcoming resource limitation. In particular, a transmitter may monitor certain resources associated with the transmitter, such as memory consumption or processing capacity, and automatically request that a receiver transmit an acknowledgement when a potential overload of one or more of the resources is detected. This may occur, for example, when it is determined that memory consumption has exceeded a predefined threshold or that the processing capacity has been substantially exhausted, to name a few.

Abstract: A method for producing organic-inorganic composite materials includes at least one biomineralising protein and/or polypeptide-encoding recombinant polynucleotide being introduced into at least one host cell, preferably from the class of slime moulds, and the expressed protein and/or polypeptide influencing the formation of inorganic particles in an extracellular matrix of the host cell.

Abstract: A sensor component and a method for manufacturing a sensor component, in which a sealing passivation of a sensor layer may be dispensed with. For this purpose, the sensor component includes, in particular, a thin film high-pressure sensor, a deformation body and a piezoresistive sensor layer, which is applied to the deformation body, the piezoresistive sensor layer including at least one metal as well as carbon and/or hydrocarbon and terminating the layer structure of the sensor component. Based on the materials used a sealing cover of the sensor layer by a thin film passivation layer may be dispensed with. Additional contact layers for contacting the sensor layer may advantageously also be dispensed with. Contacting may then take place directly on the sensor layer, using a bond wire.

Abstract: A system, computer program product and method of correlating safety solutions implemented in a facility with the facility's business climate are provided. The system, computer program product and method are used for designing safety solutions for a facility. While doing so, a user such as a security consultant, may derive a plurality of variables from the safety solutions. The variables are used to calculate a business climate index and a safety level from which a value for a safety/climate coefficient may be calculated. The value of the coefficient indicates whether the threat level is greater than the security level, or whether the security solutions are adequate or too intrusive.

Abstract: A method for bandwidth reservation for transmitting source data of varying data rate in a data network in which a transmission quality determinable in advance can be reserved, having the features of: for the source data stream, source parameters in the form of a repetitive sequence of maximum volumes of data and associated times are determined; from these, a minimum bandwidth is determined by dividing the total volume of data by the total time per sequence; for a reserved bandwidth which is not smaller than the minimum bandwidth, a simulation is used to determine a buffer size and, optionally, a maximum bandwidth; and the bandwidth is reserved using the stream parameters determined in this way—minimum bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, buffer size and reserved bandwidth.

Abstract: Methods and materials for preparing irreversible inhibitors of tyrosine kinases of general Formula 1 are disclosed. Such inhibitors, which include N-[4-(3-chloro-4-floro-phenylamino)-7-(3-morpholin-4-yl-propoxy)-quinazolin-6-yl]-acrylamide, are useful for treating cancer, restenosis, atherosclerosis, endometriosis and psoriasis. The disclosed methods employ protecting schemes to minimize undesirable diacryloylamino-quinazoline side products.
