Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for enriching cells with a cell surface marker, comprising an aptamer suitable for specifically binding the cell surface marker, and beads coupled thereto, wherein the aptamer is coupled to the beads in a manner that allows for release of cells expressing the cell surface marker, in the absence of a chemical agent, and production of a cell population enriched for cells expressing the cell surface marker, substantially free of beads and aptamer. Kits comprising the device or components thereof, and methods of cell enrichment, are also provided. In exemplary embodiments, the device contains an aptamer that specifically binds CD31.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for monitoring a status of at least one wind turbine. The method (200) comprises: detecting first measurement signals via one or more sensors (210), wherein the first measurement signals provide one or more parameters relating to at least one rotor blade of the at least one wind turbine in a normal status; training a trainable algorithm based on the first measurement signals of the normal status (220); detecting second measurement signals via the one or more sensors (230); and recognising an undetermined anomaly via the trainable algorithm trained in the normal status, if a current status of the wind turbine, determined based on the second measurement signals, deviates from the normal status (240).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for determining loads on a wind turbine tower. In a first step (110) of the method (100), bending moments in at least one rotor blade of the wind turbine are determined in order to provide a first variable, which identifies a first force acting on a nacelle of the wind turbine tower. In addition, in a second step (120) of the method (100), a nacelle deflection is determined in order to provide a second variable which identifies a second force acting on the nacelle of the wind turbine tower. Furthermore, a third step (130) of the method (100) comprises entering the first variable and the second variable into a calculation model, which displays the behavior of the tower. A fourth step (140) of the method (100) comprises a determination of loads on the tower of the wind turbine by means of the calculation model.
