Abstract: A silicon carbide device includes a silicon carbide substrate, a contact layer located on the silicon carbide substrate and including nickel and silicon, a barrier layer structure including titanium and tungsten, and a metallization layer comprising copper, wherein the contact layer is located between the silicon carbide substrate and at least a part of the barrier layer structure, wherein the barrier layer structure is located between the silicon carbide substrate and the metallization layer, wherein the metallization layer is configured as a contact pad of the silicon carbide device.

Abstract: A door lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a catch and at least one pawl. Each locking mechanism component is mounted on a base in a rotatable manner about an axis. Additionally, a fixed support body is provided for at least one locking mechanism component. According to the invention, the locking mechanism component is designed to be rotatable about a bearing pin at a distance from the support body during a normal operation and comes into contact with the support body solely in the event of a crash with a simultaneous deformation of the bearing pin.

Abstract: Reaction solutions are disclosed herein comprising water, sucrose and a glucosyltransferase enzyme that synthesizes poly alpha-1,3-glucan. The glucosyltransferase enzyme can synthesize insoluble glucan polymer having at least 50% alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages and a number average degree of polymerization of at least 100. Further disclosed are methods of using such glucosyltransferase enzymes to produce insoluble poly alpha-1,3-glucan.
