20160093461	Air Ionization Module - The invention relates to air ionization modules with ionization tubes removably arranged in mounts and to a support comprising the mounts. The air ionization modules are characterized in particular in that as little condensation as possible occurs while enriching an air flow with ions. For this purpose, the support has two mutually spaced plates, a first plate being an assembly plate and a second plate being a circuit board comprising the mounts. Furthermore, a body made of a heat-insulating material is located between the plates such that the second plate is arranged so as to be heat-insulated relative to the first plate. The air ionization module is used to generate ions in an air flow for at least one inner room of a building. Ionized air leads to a separation of multiple odor-causing molecules, an eradication of microorganisms, a degradation of volatile gaseous hydrocarbons, and a reduction of the oxide potential of the air, for example. In this manner, a comfortable, near-natural air is produced in the room supplied with the air.	03-31-2016

The time of regeneration operating phases of the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter can be determined as a function of the nitrogen oxide content of the exhaust gas downstream of the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter or of the SCR catalytic converter and/or as a function of the ammonia loading of the latter. Moreover, a desired ammonia generation quantity can be determined for a respective regeneration operating phase. The installation and method are adopted for use for motor vehicle internal combustion engines and other engines which are operated predominantly in lean-burn mode.	08-13-2015

20150136836	Through-Type Furnace For Substrates To Be Fitted With Components And Die Bonder - A through-type furnace for substrates comprises a furnace with a channel and a transport system for the transport of the substrates through the channel. The channel is bounded by a base, a front side wall, a rear side wall and a top part. The base contains a plurality of first holes which are connectable to a protective gas source so that protective gas can be supplied during operation. The front side wall of the channel comprises a longitudinal slit which extends parallel to the passage direction and which is bounded by a bottom edge and an upper edge. The transport system comprises at least one clamp for transporting the substrates through the channel. The clamp is movable back and forth along the longitudinal slit of the channel. Such a through-type furnace is in particular suitable for use in a soft solder die bonder.	05-21-2015

20090141376	SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE COMPATIBLE CARBON THIN FILMS - SPR-compatible substrates for high density microarray fabrication and analyses are provided. Novel carbon-on-metal thin film substrate architecture permits the integration of surface plasmon resonance detection with photolithographically fabricated biomolecule arrays for the analysis of biomolecular interactions. The utility of the technology is shown in the analysis of specific DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA and DNA-protein binding interactions. These new substrates may be used to determine the secondary structure of RNA molecules, to probe the sequence-specific binding kinetics and affinity of proteins and small molecules, and as substrates for small-molecule combinatorial chemistry platforms for drug discovery applications.	06-04-2009

20120096357	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEDIA SELECTION AND SHARING - A method and system for media selection and sharing is disclosed. According to one embodiment, media content is received from a media source and is stored in a buffer for a first time period. A second time period within the first time period is determined for creating a media clip from the media content stored in the buffer. A media clip is generated as determined by the second time period. A user provides an input, and the user's input is associated with the media clip to take one or more effects on the media clip. The media clip enhanced with the one more effects is transmitted over a network to share with other users.	04-19-2012
20120189273	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING HIGHLIGHTS FROM SCORED DATA STREAMS - A method and system for generating highlights from scored data streams is disclosed. According to one embodiment, media content containing time-stamped payloads is received in a data stream from one or more sources. The received media content is recorded in a buffer for a predetermined period of time and sliced into data buckets. For each of the data buckets, a score is assigned according to user-provided keywords. The data buckets are recorded along with the assigned score to generate highlights from the one or more sources using the scores of the recorded data buckets.	07-26-2012

20080198383	HORIZONTAL SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE SENSOR APPARATUS - Disclosed is a horizontal SPR sensor apparatus that provides a simplified beam path, ease of sample handling with concomitant ease of analysis. The horizontal SPR device disclosed herein includes an input and output transfer mirror pair that translates vertically along an axis perpendicular to the beam path. The invention includes an input/output scanner mirror pair that is operatively linked to the transfer mirror pair. This allows for rotation of the scanner mirror pair in response to the vertical translation of the transfer mirror pair and maintains the incident light focus on the metal film/sample layer while varying the angle of incidence and thereby exciting the surface plasmon resonance at the thin metal film layer. Further, this allows the detector and detector optics to be fixed providing for the implementation of heavier multi-stage cooled detectors. Finally, the invention provides an SPR device having a smaller footprint than known alternatives.	08-21-2008
