Abstract: The present invention relates to polymerizable mixtures and to the use thereof for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in liquid-crystal (LC) media and LC displays, especially in LC displays of the PS (“polymer sustained”) or PSA (“polymer sustained alignment”) type.

Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant antigen-binding regions and antibodies and functional fragments containing such antigen-binding regions that are specific for the TWEAKR (TNFRSF12A, FN14). The antibodies, accordingly, can be used to treat tumors and other disorders and conditions associated with expression of the TWEAKR. The invention also provides nucleic acid sequences encoding the foregoing antibodies, vectors containing the same, pharmaceutical compositions and kits with instructions for us.

Abstract: Method for forming a transparent article comprising: heating a polymer sheet 40 to form a heated sheet; creating a pressure differential across the heated sheet; pushing the heated sheet onto the contoured surface 20 to form a shaped article; and releasing the shaped article from the mold 12. Also included herein are articles made therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention provides a conjugate which contains a therapeutic moiety linked to a homing molecule that selectively homes to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and that specifically binds the receptor bound by peptide KDEPQRRSARLSAKPAPPKPEPKPKKAPAKK (SEQ ID NO: 9). Methods of directing a conjugate of the invention to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and of using a conjugate to treat cancer also are provided.

Abstract: A method for pulling an autonomous submersible vehicle into a mother ship is proposed. The method comprises the steps of letting out a floating line from the mother ship, allowing at least part of a capturing line to rise from the submersible vehicle using a capturing buoy, to cause the submersible vehicle to cross under the floating line in such a way that the capturing line with the capturing buoy becomes caught on the floating line, and to draw the submersible vehicle to the mother ship by pulling in the floating line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for a hybrid simulation of an electric power distribution network and an associated communication network connected therewith to determine a time delay between an event occurring in the power distribution network and a desired effect of a performed measure in the power distribution network, the measure having been decided on by means of a decision-making algorithm as a reaction to the event.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymerizable compounds, to processes and intermediates for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in liquid-crystal (LC) media and LC displays, especially in LC displays of the PS or PSA type (“polymer sustained” or “polymer sustained alignment” respectively).

Abstract: The invention relates to an underwater work system 1 with at least one autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle 2 and one unmanned relay vehicle 4 floating at the surface of the water 3, which comprises a radio antenna 5 for external communication 26 and a drive 16. The underwater vehicle 2 is connected to the relay vehicle 4 via an internal communication device. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating an underwater work system. In order to create an underwater work system with an autonomous underwater vehicle and an unmanned relay vehicle floating at the surface of the water as well as a method for operating such an underwater work system, which provides an increased efficiency of the autonomous underwater vehicle 2 with short mission times, it is provided according to the invention that the relay vehicle 4 is controllable by means of a control unit 16 via the at least one autonomous underwater vehicle 2 in due consideration of navigation information 17.

Abstract: The present invention provides a conjugate which contains a therapeutic moiety linked to a homing molecule that selectively homes to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and that specifically binds the receptor bound by peptide KDEPQRRSARLSAKPAPPKPEPKPKKAPAKK (SEQ ID NO: 9). Methods of directing a conjugate of the invention to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and of using a conjugate to treat cancer also are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for recovering a submarine vehicle. The submarine vehicle is pulled by a rope and hauled by means of the rope and a recovery ramp from the body of water on board a ship or onto land. The system comprises the recovery ramp and a wave equalization ramp. The wave compensation ramp can be rotated relative to the recovery ramp about a swivel axis S and is supported by a floating body. The watercraft is picked up by means of the recovery ramp. The wave compensation ramp is hauled together with the picked-up submarine vehicle by means of the recovery ramp. The invention permits the recovery of a submarine vehicle, even in moderate or heavy seas, with less risk of damage to the submarine vehicle.

Abstract: A method of controlling a timing state of a local oscillator (17) being synchronized by a timing signal (ST1) provided through one-way transmission from a remote master oscillator (6) through a dielectric waveguide (4).
