Abstract: A bioreactor for the cultivation of cells, comprising at least one vessel which is designed to accommodate cells to be cultivated and at least one culture medium in a vessel interior enclosed at least partially by walls of the vessel in relation to an environment, and comprising a movement device which can be connected to a drive unit and at least partially moves the cells to he cultivated or applies a force to same. An elastic element is arranged in the vessel interior, which is configured such that at least one part of the culture medium can he received at least in a region of the elastic element and the cells to he cultivated at least intermittently adhere in and/or on at least sections of the elastic element, and the movement device is designed to at least intermittently deform the elastic element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for at least one plant, comprising an artificial lighting unit for providing artificial light for lighting the plant; a sunlight unit for providing sunlight for lighting the plant; a mixing unit for generating a mixed light consisting of the artificial light and the sunlight; a distributing unit for distributing the mixed light and lighting the plant with the distributed mixed light; and an adjustment unit for adjusting a property of the mixed light. The invention provides a lighting device for at least one plant, i.e., one or more plants, wherein the device can be used in an energy-saving manner for indoor farming.

Abstract: A stationary radar device, which apart from a plurality of stationary receiving antennae, includes a plurality of stationary transmitting antennae for emitting primary radio waves. A frequency-modulated emitting signal is generated in two sequences. During the first sequences a plurality of successive first chirps are emitted by one of the transmitting antennae. A Doppler shift or a speed is computed from the temporal development of the respective first receiving signals. The second sequences are intermitted with the first sequences and each include one or more second chirps, wherein the second chirps are produced from different transmitting antennae. The second receiving signals which are effected by the second chirps are evaluated, in order by way of correlation of receiving signals that originate from second chips, which come from different transmitting antennae, to obtain a phase picture that is resolved in the azimuth.

Abstract: The technology provided herein relates to novel methods and systems for cell-free protein synthesis, in particular to cell-free protein synthesis systems suitable for protein synthesis before and after freezing for a short- or long-term storage, wherein said system comprises a cryoprotectant.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to novel cell cultivation and cell and/or cell-derived product production processes that have advantages over currently existing fermentation strategies. The processes and methods according to the present disclosure may be used for an efficient supply of highly viable and metabolically active eukaryotic cells for transient production platforms, as an alternative production process with advantages over currently applied processes (batch, fed-batch or perfusion strategies) and for generating metabolically highly active biomass for subsequent use for transient expression systems or infection by a virus or pseudovirus or in cell-free systems.

Abstract: Devices and methods for promoting the growth of plants, which transport the plants using a conveyor belt where roots of the plants protrude into a region located below a lower surface of the conveyor belt and at least parts of leaves and/or fruits of the plants protrude into a region located above an upper surface of the conveyor belt which opposes the lower surface. The conveyor path moves along a closed circular or oval path such that a deflection occurs in the region of an upper deflection point and in the region of a lower deflection point, which interconnect vertical sections.
