In an integrated pressure sensor (15) with a high full-scale value, a monolithic body (16) of semiconductor material has a first and a second main surface (16a and 16b), opposite and separated by a substantially uniform distance (w). The monolithic body (16) has a bulk region (17), having a sensitive portion (23) next to the first main surface (16a), upon which pressure (P) acts. A first piezoresistive detection element (18) is integrated in the sensitive portion (23) and has a variable resistance as a function of the pressure (P). The bulk region (17) is a solid and compact region and has a thickness substantially equal to the distance (w).

Disclosed is a method for analyzing vibrations generated in biological systems, in which the change of conditions for the probability of a random event to occur compared to the previous cycle can be assessed by introducing an energetic component into the current cycle of the vibration. In order to be able to do so, the analyzed signal is subdivided to the sequence of cycles in such a way that each subsequent cycle is provided with a common interval with the previous adjacent cycle. Such methods are used in the fields of physiology, medicine, and psychology to analyze regulation in biological systems.

The present invention concerns clear water-based microemulsions comprising the antifungal agent flutriafol and their use as a seed dressing.

Foamed products with free-rise densities between 0.05 and 0.22 are obtained by reacting at least one polyol with at least one isocyanate-prepolymer, in the presence of an amount of expandable microspheres within the range of 1.0% to 30% by weight on the weight of said polyol and an amount of expanding agent which is from 0.5 to 0.1 times the amount of microspheres, and carrying out the polymer expansion step at a temperature which is sufficient to cause the expansion of the microspheres.

The invention relates to an electrical connecting module (10) comprising at least one connector strip (14) for electrically connecting wires and/or cables. The connector strip (14) has at least one catch element (16) and a rigid front panel (12). This front panel (12) has at least one opening through which the connector strip (14) can be partially inserted and which is cut open in the area of the catch element (16). The connector strip (14) rests against the face of the front panel (12) via a stopping edge (15). A securing element (1) can be locked from the rear side of the front panel (12) by the connector strip (14). This securing element (1) is situated between the catch element (16) and the front panel (12), and the closed contour of the securing element (1) forms a stopping face (15) on the rear side of the front panel (12). The securing element (1) has an at least partially elastic design whereby being elastic in the area of the catch element (16). The invention also relates to a securing element (1) suitable for the electrical connecting module.

The invention relates to a method for handling goods in transport containers (L) in combined traffic on a platform by means of a mobile exchange palette (5) on a railway carriage and a transversal transport device (21, 30) which is arranged in a stationary manner on the platform which is directly next to a rail (6) which can be travelled along by the carriage. The platform comprises, on one side of the rail, at least three parallel tracks comprising an entrance track (11) for mobile load transporters, a charging track (12) which is arranged between the entrance track and the rail and which is used for temporally depositing the exchange palette (5), and a handling track which is arranged between the rail and the charging track (13) and which comprises the transversal transport device (21, 30). The inventive method comprises the following steps: the mobile load transporter arrives via the entrance track (11) and diverts to the charging track (13) in order to charge the load, it crosses an empty exchange palette which is disposed there and deposits the transport container (L) in the exchange palette; the transversal transport device is used to transport the charged exchange palette from the charging track to a goods carriage of a train arranged therefor and is marginally lifted; the exchange palette is then lowered onto the carriage and is fixed thereto.

A screw-in enossal dental implant (1) comprising a base body (2) with a thread arrangement (3) which can be multiple-threaded, and notches, in addition to an upper part and a bulged enossal part (11). The thread arrangement (3) on the base body (2) is defined by parabolic curves (P1), (P2) forming intersection points outside the area of the dental implant (1). The thread arrangement (3) extends as far as the upper part (4). The flank angle of the thread flanks is 20°. The transition between the base body (2) and the bulged enossal part (11) is rounded. The maximum depth of the notches (12) is 1/3 of the diameter of the base body (2) and the width thereof is at least as large as the width of the respectively remaining thread arrangement (3) between the notches (12). The dental implant (1) causes the compression forces acting upon the jaw bone to tend unevenly towards zero as the screw-in depth increases, enabling reliable fastening in the enossal area.

Isolated nucleic acids and proteins associated with lipid and sugar metabolism regulation are provided. In particular, lipid metabolism proteins (LMP) and encoding nucleic acids originating from Physcomitrella patens, Brassica napus, Glycine max, Zea mays, and Oryza sativa are provided. The nucleic acids and proteins are used in methods of producing transgenic plants and modulating levels of seed storage compounds. Preferably, the seed storage compounds are lipids, fatty acids, starches or seed storage proteins.

The invention relates to a binder system containing aminoplast resins, at least one acetal of partially or fully saponified polyvinyl ester and aldehyde and acid. The invention also relates to a method for the production of glued materials using said binder system and wooden materials containing said binder system.

The invention relates to a sealing device (1) for sealing a joint (4) between a first and a second structural body (5, 6), particularly between concrete bodies. To this end, an injection channel (3) is provided in the area of the joint (4) and, in order to seal the joint (4) and/or flaws (4a, 4b) in the area of the joint (4), is filled or can be filled with a sealing medium. A spacer extruded body that fills the injection channel (3) is placed inside the injection channel (3), and the injection channel (3) is solely formed by walls of the structural bodies (5, 6). The spacer extruded body is a hollow profile extrudate (2) that, inside, has at least one hollow profile channel preferably passing through in the longitudinal direction, and a three-dimensional shape, which withstands the hydrostatic pressure of the unset concrete during the casting of the second structural body, and can, when pressing in sealing medium, be pressed into the injection channel (3) while the cross-section thereof narrows and while retreating from the walls of the injection channel (3), preferably up to the joint area. The invention also relates to a hollow profile extrudate for a sealing device and to the method for sealing.
