Ion beams are applied in many fields, such as medicine, semiconductor industry and basic research.
The invention intoduced here relates to a measurement device and a method to determine the energy of accelerated ions without destructing them.

Inventors of the RWTH Aachen University filed a patent relating the production of the multiaxial enforcement fabrics for textile composites with ORW (Open Reed Weave). To avoid load path interruptions in composites with textile enforcement, an overlapping of two yarn systems in the textile, by means of a special weaving pattern, leads to continuous load path in bias direction, reaching a “Triaxial” fabric, which is the main approach of the investigation. The Angle of additional reinforcement direction is adjustable and the calculated necessary overlapping is 16.28 mm length.
The system´s capability was verified by conducting three-point bending tests. These are performed varying the overlapping length, testing carbon and glass fibers and using reference samples as follows: [0/90°] fabrics and [0/90/45°] fabrics with continuous reinforcement. The results were successful in all cases. PROvendis offers licenses for interested enterprises on behalf of the University of Aachen.

Permanent and stable surface coatings are suitable to be achieved on medically relevant metals (e.g. titanium) and glass via trimeric catechol derivatives. Furthermore, various active agent molecules such as PEG, antibiotics, enzymes and other biomolecules may be coupled to natural molecules by means of simple chemical reactions (?click reactions?). The new tripodal ligands offer considerable advantages in comparison to the state of the art monovalent metal binders currently used.

Scientists of the University of Göttingen and of the University of Regensburg developed in collaboration a proprietary anti-CCR2 antibodies for the therapy of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and potentially Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).The lead candidate Doc-2 has been humanized in collaboration with the MRC Technologies. It targets the CCR2 receptor and modulates the autoimmune process through depletion of CCR2+ monocytes.

The object of the invention was hence to develop a weaving method of weft insertion that combines the advantages of the common methods whilst avoiding their deficits. This will be achieved with a magnetic projectile which is used for the guided transport of the yarn. The projectile is moved through the open shed by magnets, which are mounted on a belt. The belt is located outside of the shed. Multiple projectiles can be used simultaneously to ensure a high efficiency of the weft insertion.
The magnetic weft insertion represents an energy-efficient alternative to the standard weft insertion methods. The fact that production velocities of yarns with challenging processing characteristics can be similar to the ones of standard yarns is certainly an advantage. In magnetic weft insertion no source of compressed air is necessary, a reduction of energy consumption of about 60 % compared to a conventional air jet weaving machine is to be achieved.

Non-toxic wood treatment of wood (with DMDHEU impregnation process) to increase durability, hardness, stability and weather & water resistance of domestic softwood (like beech, pine, ..) to achieve top-quality tropical-like woods. Value added products can be created opening new markets for domestic softwoods.
