Abstract: The field of the DISCLOSURE lies in adaptive materials for implementation in textiles, wearables and smart clothing. The present disclosure relates to functional fabrics or devices, comprising energy-harvesting fabrics or fiber-based materials which change characteristics upon stimulation with at least one stimulus selected from touch, pressure, friction or light. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said functional fabrics or devices, in particular as pressure or friction or touch sensor or in fabrics being in contact with body parts during walking or running. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said functional fabrics or devices as photo-voltaic or light sensors. The present disclosure also relates to electrostatic boost filter devices comprising said functional fabrics or devices, and their uses to filter particulate matter and/or to filter and clean air.

Abstract: In some examples, a printing press includes a support element with a circulatingly movable contact surface for contacting a printing substrate. An ink jet print head includes an ejection opening arranged to be directed at the support element. Additionally, the printing press includes a charging device that includes a charging electrode, which is arranged to be directed at the contact surface. The charging device further includes a counter-electrode, and the movable contact surface is at least partially arranged between the charging electrode and the counter-electrode of the charging device. A smallest distance between the charging electrode and the movable contact surface is greater than a smallest distance between the ejection opening of the ink jet print head and the contact surface. For example, the smallest distance between the charging electrode and the contact surface may be at least 50 mm.

Abstract: A preparation system for preparing a cell suspension having a carrier on which a reactor housing and a magnet system are accommodated, wherein, in the reactor housing, a reaction channel is formed, which extends between an inlet opening arranged centrally on an upper side of the reactor housing and an outlet opening arranged on the outside of the reactor housing and which is bounded by a channel wall, the magnet system being received on the carrier so as to be relatively movable between a first functional position, to bear with a pole face against the channel wall of the reaction channel and a second functional position to assume with the pole face a predetermined distance relative to the channel wall, and having a reactor housing drive for initiating a rotational movement on the reactor housing.

Abstract: A method for producing a connection unit (1) which has a connector with a connector shaft (6) and a disc (3) which is captively arranged on the connector shaft (6). The disc (3) has an annular disc body (23), the inner contour (33) and outer contour (34) of which have been produced by a plastic deformation of the disc body (23). The inner contour (33) is shaped such that the disc body (23) is fixed on the connector shaft (6). At the same time, the originally non-circular outer contour (34) is shaped so as to be at least substantially circular. The deformation process is carried out by introducing radial deformation forces into the outer circumferential surface (27) of the disc body (23).
