Patent number: 10914737Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for automated evaluation of incubated immunoblot strips (5). What is essential for such immunoblot strips (5) is that these have regions coated with antigens, which regions discolour under the formation of so-called bands (6) as soon as a binding occurs, in particular between the antigen and an antibody present in a patient sample. Within the scope of the described technical solution, a camera (2) is initially used to make recordings of the surface of an incubated immunoblot strip (5) and these recordings are transmitted in digitized form to an evaluation unit (1). Finally, the discolourings, which occurred in the form of bands (6), are detected and at least partly quantified in the evaluation unit (1), such that a diagnosis suggestion is generated taking into account the number of bands (6) and the colour strength thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: EUROIMMUN Medizinische Labordiagnostika AGInventors: Wolfgang Meyer, Thomas Scheper, Robert Kaffka

Patent number: 10862829Abstract: Capacity-based scaling of queue-based resources is described. Initially, a scaling system measures capacity of service processors that are instantiated at a cloud computing service system to provide a service on behalf of a service provider, and also measures a load on these processors. In contrast to conventional scaling systems—which base scalings on a number of queued messages which the instantiated service processors process to provide the service—the scaling system measures the load in terms of not only the number of messages held in a queue but also an input rate of the messages to the queue. The described scaling system then determines whether and by how much to scale the instantiated processors based on this number of messages and input rate. Given this, the scaling system instructs the cloud computing service system how to scale the instantiated service processors to provide the service.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Jorg-Christian Wolfgang Meyer, Michael Gebhard Friedrich

Patent number: 10802024Abstract: A method for diagnosing a limbic encephalitis, PNS, encephaloymyelitis, leukoencephalopathy, retinitis or optic atrophy, includes detecting a bornavirus in a sample, preferably from the group comprising mammalian 2 bornavirus, even more preferably VSBV-1, and mammalian 1 bornavirus, even more preferably BoDV-1; to a carrier containing a means for the capture of an antibody against at least one polypeptide selected from the group of BoDV-1-N, BoDV-1-P, VSBV-N and VSBV-P. A kit contains the carrier and a means for the detection of a captured antibody and a control for the detection of the presence of a sample.

Patent number: 10768643Abstract: Animal drinking troughs have pressure reducers for reducing the higher pressure of the liquid supply to a low liquid pressure for supplying the animal drinking troughs. For various reasons, it is desired to change the reduced pressure. This takes place by adjustment of the pressure reducers. It is known to undertake such an adjustment with compressed air. This requires a separate compressed air source and a corresponding pipe system. The invention makes provision to adjust the pressure reducer hydraulically by means of the higher pressure of the liquid of the liquid supply. The energy required for adjusting the pressure reducers thereby provides the liquid pressure of the liquid supply. As a result, the pressure reducers according to the invention operate autonomously. A separate energy source for adjusting the pressure reducers is not required.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Lubing Maschinenfabrik Ludwig Bening GmbH & Co.
