Abstract: Known gas-spring dampers have a tendency to leak around the piston (2), which is detrimental to the damping behaviour. Technical measures that compensate said leakage are complex and expensive from a technical production point of view. The invention therefore proposes the reduction of the pivoting movements of the piston axis in relation to the cylinder axis by providing a second pivot joint (10) between the vehicle bodywork (11) and the pivot joint (17) on the pinion (12) and by interconnecting the two pivot joints (10, 17) by means of a connecting element. In addition, the roll bellows (4) are equipped with variable contact surfaces (X', X''), which are pressure-responsive and ensure a stable balance of forces acting on the piston (2) in each position of travel.

Abstract: Microfluidic devices having porous materials that restrict fluid flow rate for a given pressure are provided. Multiple porous regions can be constructed in a single device so that they have different valving capabilities or impedances, and in unison can control the overall direction of fluid flow. Porous regions can be constructed in various ways, such as, for example: by inserting porous materials into or between channels; by sandwiching one or more sheets or layers of porous materials between other layers of a device; or by inserting a liquid, solution, slurry, or suspension into a microfluidic channel and then permitting the formation of porous deposits by promoting at least partial evaporation. Adhesive tape may be used for one or more layers of such a microfluidic device.

Abstract: The present invention is a multilayer optical disc formed of a plurality of information recording sections having a phase change recording layer. A first information recording section provided at a laser-incident side uses, as a recording material, a phase change recording material which uses Sb and Te as major components and satisfies their ratio of 2.3 < Sb/Te ≤ 4.0 according to the atomic ratio. Since this phase change recording material provides a fast crystallization speed, it is possible to stably record, reproduce, and rewrite an information signal at a high transfer rate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: We describe here an in vitro method of increasing complementarity in a heteroduplex polynucleotide sequence. The method uses annealing of opposite strands to form a polynucleotide duplex with mismatches. The heteroduplex polynucleotide is combined with an effective amount of enzymes having strand cleavage activity, 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity, and polymerase activity, and allowing sufficient time for the percentage of complementarity to be increased within the heteroduplex. Not all heteroduplex polynucleotides will necessarily have all mismatches resolved to complementarity. The resulting polynucleotide is optionally ligated. Several variant polynucleotides result. At sites where either of the opposite strands has templated recoding in the other strand, the resulting percent complementarity of the heteroduplex polynucleotide sequence is increased. The parent polynucleotides need not be cleaved into fragments prior to annealing heterologous strands. Therefore, no reassembly is required.

Abstract: The present invention provides a driver circuit with load discharge detection particularly suitable for use with electro-luminescence (EL) lamps. The driver circuit determines the moment at which the load has been discharged by a defined discharge current. This information is used to start the new charging cycle of the load. The discharge time adapts itself to different load sizes or load voltages. Also, a minimum amount of time is used to discharge the load, so that a maximum amount of time is available for charging the load at a predetermined frequency. As a result, a higher performance can be achieved.
