Abstract: A dermal patch includes: an open-cell foam layer; and an adhesive layer arranged thereon and intended for contact with skin. At least a side of the foam layer facing the adhesive layer has macropores whose cavities are spanned at least partially by a barrier layer formed from the foam layer.

Abstract: A packaging for sterile packaging application includes: a single layer nonwoven fabric obtained from a nonwoven, the nonwoven including meltblown polymer fibers having an average fiber diameter between 2 ?m to 10 ?m and a standard deviation of the fiber diameter of at least 100%. The nonwoven is thermally bonded.

Abstract: A dermal dressing is provided that comprises a foam layer and an adhesive layer applied directly thereon. A textile fabric is arranged on a side of the foam layer facing away from the adhesive layer, and the textile fabric comprises a vertically-lapped nonwoven. A method for producing the dermal dressing of the first aspect is also provided. The method comprises: providing the foam layer; applying the adhesive layer to the foam layer; applying the textile fabric to a side of the foam layer facing away from the adhesive layer; and bonding the foam layer and the textile fabric. The dermal dressing has optimal properties for its use in preventing pressure ulcers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a master distributor strip for distributing electrical energy for equipment and/or server cabinets, comprising a plurality of connection means that are provided on a face of the master distributor strip, and to which electrical loads can be connected for the purpose of energy supply. Furthermore, sensors for determining data at least relating to the status of the master distributor strip and/or of the plurality of connection means are provided. The invention is characterized in that a communications module is provided, which module is configured to retrieve and/or receive the data of the sensors, and to communicate with at least one sensor and/or actuator that is remote from the master distributor strip, by means of a communications network.

Abstract: A method for coiling a metal strip that is heat-treated in a furnace immediately before coiling and fed to a coiler at an outlet speed, and then coiled at the coiler at an elevated temperature. The future outlet speed of the metal strip and the heat losses from the metal strip between the furnace and the coiler are calculated via a predictive model and the furnace is controlled by the predictive model such that the metal strip is coiled at a pre-defined temperature within a maximum deviation of +/?5° C.

Abstract: A method for operating a steam power station is provided. The steam turbine power station includes at least one steam turbine and a process steam consumer, wherein a steam mass flow is subdivided into a first partial mass flow and a second partial mass. In a first operating state, the first partial mass flow is supplied to the steam turbine and the second partial mass flow is supplied to the process steam consumer. In a second operating state, at least part of the second partial mass flow is supplied to the steam turbine at least after the first turbine stages. A steam power station is also provided.

Abstract: A method for operating a gas and steam turbine system is provided. The system includes a frequency converter which is assigned to a starting device of a gas turbine, and a generator which is assigned to a steam turbine. The intention is to be able to obtain a particularly high level of operational flexibility with particularly low mechanical complexity. For this purpose, the electrical power of the generator is fed into a consumer system via the frequency converter.

Abstract: An axial turbine for a gas turbine including a rotor blade cascade is provided. The rotor blade cascade is formed from rotor blades each including, a front edge, a blade tip, and an annular space wall that surrounds the rotor blade cascade and includes an annular space inner side, enabling the annular space wall to be arranged directly adjacent to the blade tip forming a radial gap between the covering of the blade tip and the annual space inner side. When the turbine is in operation, the area of the blade tip with the highest pressure load is disposed in the region of the front edges, and the rotor blades in the region of their front edges include a radial projection and the annular space wall includes on the annular space inner side, a peripheral radial recess that interacts with the radial projections such that a minimum is established in the direction of the main through-flow of the turbine.
