20100317870 | ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMERS - The invention generally relates to novel polymers (SMAMPs) and their syntheses and use. The polymers exhibit promising properties of AMPs. In particularly, for example, a ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) platform was developed that allows syntheses of SMAMPs that employ a minimum number of norbornene-based building blocks and/or enable easy and independent variation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the monomer units and/or along the polymeric backbone to finetune and select desirable properties of the polymers. | 12-16-2010 |

20130338326 | COVALENTLY ATTACHED ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMERS - The present invention relates to substrates comprising covalently attached antimicrobial polymers, which act as synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) and are preferably obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The inventive antimicrobial polymers exhibit a molecular weight of more than 100,000 g mol | 12-19-2013 |
20150017680 | TEST APPARATUS FOR TESTING THE MICROBIAL ACTIVITY ON SURFACES - The present invention relates to a device comprising a sample receiving appliance, a receiving appliance for test organisms, preferably for a suspension comprising test organisms, in particular for a bacterial suspension, and a jet pump appliance, wherein the jet pump appliance is, or can be brought, into active connection with the receiving appliance, and wherein the jet pump appliance is designed and installed in order, by means of a propellant medium having a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure at the location of installation of the device to spray test organisms in the form of an aerosol in the direction of the sample receiving installation, wherein the device has an installation for controlling a reproducible pressure of the propellant medium during the spraying of the test organisms and also the use of a device according to the invention. | 01-15-2015 |

20150025168 | SYNTHESIS AND MICRO-/NANOSTRUCTURING OF SURFACE-ATTACHED CROSSLINKED ANTIMICROBIAL AND/OR ANTIBIOFOULING POLYMER NETWORKS - The present invention relates to substrates comprising a crosslinked network of covalently attached antimicrobial and/or antibiofouling polymers. The crosslinked network of antimicrobial and/or antibiofouling polymers acts highly efficiently against pathogens, e.g. bacteria and fungi. Both the antimicrobial and the antibiofouling cross-linked polymer networks are preferably better resistant to mechanical damage than simple surface-immobilized polymer monolayers. The antimicrobial and/or antibiofouling polymers of the crosslinked network are preferably obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and exhibit a molecular weight of preferably more than 30,000 or even 100,000 g mol | 01-22-2015 |

20140255810 | FUEL CELL POWER CONTROL BY OFFSET ESTIMATION - A system and method for managing power flow in a fuel cell vehicle. The method provides a difference between a power limit signal and an actual power signal to a PI controller to generate a power offset signal. The method determines whether a fuel cell stack is able to provide enough power to satisfy a power request, and if so, adds the power request and the power offset signal to generate a stack power request signal to cause the upper power limit signal to move towards and be matched to the actual power signal. If the stack is not able to provide enough power to satisfy the load power request signal, the method subtracts the power offset signal from the power limit signal to provide a load limit signal to cause the actual stack power signal to move towards and be matched to the upper power limit signal. | 09-11-2014 |
