Abstract: A target structure for generation of x-ray radiation may include a heat sink; and a target element for electrons to strike, the target element being in the heat sink to cool the target element, wherein the heat sink includes a metal-diamond composite material.

Abstract: A duct probe (20) for sampling a fluid from a main fluid flow (Fm) in a duct (10) defines an elongated supply channel (21) n elongated discharge channel (22). The supply channel has at least one inflow opening (23) for diverting a partial flow (Fp) from the main fluid flow into the supply channel, and the discharge channel has at least one outflow opening for returning the partial flow from the discharge channel into the main fluid flow after it has passed an environmental sensor (30). The duct probe further comprises at least one compensation opening (26) that connects the supply channel and the discharge channel in a region that is located between their closed and open ends. By the presence of the compensation opening (26), a jet flow (Fj) is created, which acts to reduce a pressure difference between the supply channel and the discharge channel when the duct probe is exposed to the main fluid flow (Fm).

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor vehicle having at least one park lock. A drive train of the motor vehicle has a drive motor, wheel, and a transmission. An operating element actuates the park lock, which can assume a blocking position, in which the park lock blocks the drive train and/or a part of the drive train, and a release position. After actuation of the operating element, the park lock is switched from the release position into the blocking position (or vice versa). Here, the speed of the motor vehicle is determined. After actuation of the operating element and if the park lock assumes the release position beforehand, it is checked whether the speed is greater than a predefined first threshold value. If this check was successful, a first warning signal is produced; and the switching of the park lock into the blocking position is performed.

Abstract: The present application discloses novel multilayer polysiloxane-based fouling control coating systems having in-chided therein active constituents like biocides and/or enzymes. Further, the polysiloxane-based layers may individually have in eluded as a part thereof hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties, and/or said may further comprising one or more hydrophilic-modified polysiloxane oils.

Abstract: A method for improving a fluid dynamic profile and fouling properties of a marine vessel with a welding seam which forms a cap protruding above a surface being under the waterline of a vessel. The method comprising amending the welding seam by applying a fairing to the underwater surface, e.g. by use of filler. A vessel with a fairing, and a coating system for a vessel and including a fairing.

Abstract: A method is described for the release of use of functions of at least one local data receiving unit (1) for a user by means of a central data processing unit (7) and the at least one selected local data receiving unit (1). The local data receiving unit (1) is configured to receive an encrypted release dataset from a user and to release use if at least one security feature contained in the release dataset in each case matches a corresponding release criterion stored in the local data receiving unit (1).

Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a printed circuit board substrate, at least one electrical component which is arranged on the printed circuit board substrate and with which the printed circuit board substrate makes electrical contact, a protective cap which is arranged above the electrical component, and a sheathing material which is applied to the printed circuit board substrate over the protective cap and which covers at least the protective cap on the outside in such a way that the protective cap is provided with at least one filling opening. The sheathing material is introduced through the at least one filling opening into a cap interior between the protective cap and the printed circuit board substrate in such a way that a clearance, which is not filled with the sheathing material and which directly adjoins the at least one electrical component, remains between the protective cap and the printed circuit board substrate.
