The new design for energy storage systems is based on novel, prism-shaped housings for battery cells. Instead of conventionally contacting the cells via the cylinder covers the novel cell housing enables electrical connection of the individual cells by pressing together the side surfaces. The battery system is readily separable and improves safety, transport and maintenance. In addition, the invention enables flexible and rapid system design and cost-effective development processes.

Piezo electric, low frequency and broadband converter of vibrational energy: Energy harvesters convert mechanical vibrational into electrical energy due to piezo electric effect. Here the piezo is coupled in a non-linear way with other spring elements allowing energy conversion from significantly lower frequencies.

The current technology provides the detection of DKK3 as a promising early stage marker for chronic kidney disease. DKK3 is elevated in the early morning urine and can be easily and cost-effectively determined by standard ELISA assay systems.

The antibody of this invention is a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against SUMO176-86 recognizing SUMO1 of human, mouse, chicken and X. laevis. It is suitable for western blot and immune precipitation as well as for large-scale enrichment of SUMOylated species by IP / peptide elution.

The invention reveals a method, based on metylation analysis of intragenic regions of the gene DGKA, for estimating the risk of developing radiation induced fibrosis and can therefore be used for therapy planning.

The invention discloses a device that enables bead purification and mixing of the sample without the need for moving the reaction plate from one deck position to the other and hence saving time and deck space.
