Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for increasing a nuclear spin polarization of a target compound. In accordance with such systems and methods, a first non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization can be imparted to at least one source atom of a source compound, the source atom having a nuclear gyromagnetic ratio of at least 12 megahertz per tesla (MHz/T). A first solution can be obtained that includes the source compound and a target compound. The at least one source atom can be present in a source concentration of at least 0.1 molar (M) in the first solution. A second non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization of at least 0.01% can be imparted to the at least one target atom of the target compound via a nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) transfer of the first non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization to the at least one target atom.

Abstract: A heated hose for delivering a liquid, in particular for delivering an adhesive has a flexible hose for the passage of the liquid, an insulating layer surrounding the flexible hose, and a heating device surrounding the flexible hose. The heating device is arranged between the flexible hose and the insulating layer. The insulating layer has a strip-shaped insulating material that is wound helically around the flexible hose. The strip-shaped insulating material contains an aerogel.

Abstract: A processor device includes a clock generation unit, a processor unit, a main memory, a processor bus, and also a bus control device having an interface for a crossover bus to at least one further processor device. The bus control device monitors processor device data access through the processor bus, interchanges signals concerning data access through the crossover bus, evaluates them and outputs an error signal based on the evaluation result. In a processor system including at least two processor devices connected to one another through the crossover bus, the processor units are started in synchronism. The bus control devices in the processor devices interchange signals through the crossover bus upon each data access operation by the processor units, and output an error signal if there is no correspondence. If there is an error in one processor device, operation of the processor system is continued on the other processor device or devices.

Abstract: In a method and circuit arrangement for controlling the transmission of message blocks within a transmission system, the transmission system has transmission processors connected to one another available to it, proceeding wherefrom the message blocks intended therefor are respectively forwarded to an input queue of an individually allocated line termination equipment with a defined transmission rate after passing through a processor queue. This line termination equipment has a plurality of interfaces available to it with which a transmission line designed for an outflow rate that is lower in comparison to the defined transmission rate is respectively connected for the forwarding of message blocks. A flow control is thereby provided between the respective transmission processor and the corresponding line termination equipment such that a momentary load value is individually calculated in the respective transmission processor for the individually allocated interfaces.
