  • Patent number: 11148196
    Abstract: A method for additive production and a correspondingly produced component made of a powdery base material, includes the thermal pre-treatment of the base material at a first temperature of at least 800° C. under an inert gas atmosphere, wherein the first temperature and a duration of the pre-treatment are further selected such that no sintering process of the base material occurs, subsequent cooling of the base material, and additive construction of the component from the thermally pre-treated base material. A corresponding device is for the additive production.

  • Patent number: 11121424
    Abstract: A method for arranging at least one battery module and at least one part of a battery housing having a cooling device, which is arranged on a side of the part of the battery housing and which has a predetermined module placement area. In doing so, a thermally conductive component is placed on the cooling device, at least in the predetermined module placement area, and the at least one battery module is inserted in the module placement area and pressed against the thermally conductive component in a pressing direction (R) extending in the direction of the cooling device. Before the pressing, a counter-holder device is arranged on the cooling device, which supports the cooling device during pressing of the at least one battery module in the predetermined module placement area, opposite the pressing direction (R).

  • Publication number: 20210253640
    Abstract: A method of treating a patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer. A method of treating a patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer.
