Reflected waves from defective locations in the connecting element (2) are detected as a measurement signal at the free end, and characteristics concerning the defective locations of the connecting element (2) are determined from the measurement signal by digitizing and evaluating said measurement signal. The sound and/or ultrasonic wave(s) is/are integrally excited in the connecting element (2) and are received in a stranded wire-selective manner and/or are excited in a stranded wire-selective manner, and are received in an integral or stranded wire-selective manner. The inventive method and corresponding device make it possible to detect defective locations such as tears or points of corrosion in anchors and bridge prestressing elements that are in service. These defective locations are detected in a nondestructive manner and can be precisely located.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate and a method for obtaining an electrophysiological measuring configuration in which a cell forms a high resistive seal (giga-seal) around a measuring electrode making it suitable for determining and monitoring a current flow through the cell membrane. The substrate is typically part of an apparatus for studying electrical events in cell membranes, such as an apparatus for carrying out patch clamp techniques utilised to study ion transfer channels in biological membranes. The substrate has a plurality or an array of measuring sites with integrated measuring and reference electrodes formed by wafer processing technology. The electrodes are adapted to conduct a current between them by delivery of ions by one electrode and receipt of ions by the other electrode and are typically silver/silver halide electrodes. This allows for effective and fast measuring of cells in configurations where there is a direct electrical connection between the measuring electrode and the cell interior, a whole-cell measuring configuration.

Abstract: Lithiated haloarenes, although useful as intermediates in the synthesis of various end products, can be hazardous to prepare since unstable, shock sensitive compounds can be formed during lithiation of haloarenes. To avoid this problem, a reaction of a polyhaloarene with a hydrocarbyl lithium compound is conducted in the presence of another reactant so that the lithiated haloarene, if formed at all, exists as a transitory intermediate in low concentration. In this way, transitory lithiated haloarene which may be, and presumably is, formed in the reaction is converted into a non-hazardous functionally-substituted haloarene essentially as soon as such lithiated haloarene is formed. Thus, an arene having a halogen atom of atomic number greater than 9 substituted on at least two non-adjacent carbon atoms is concurrently reacted with a non-fluoro halotrihydrocarbylsilane and a hydrocarbyl lithium compound, in proportions such that a haloarene having at least one trihydrocarbylsilyl ring substituent is formed.

Abstract: A method for controlling a flow of packet data in a memory management unit of a network switch fabric is disclosed. A first portion of a data packet is received at a port on an ingress bus ring of the network switch fabric. A class of service for the data packet is determined based on the first portion and the portion is stored in a packer RAM of the port based on the class of service. Subsequent portions of the data packet are stored in the packer RAM. Once the predetermined number of portions have been received, the predetermined number of portions is sent to a packet pool RAM. A reference pointer to a first predetermined number of portions is sent to a transaction queue once an end of packet is detected and an egress scheduler detects a presence of a ready packet in the transaction queue and notifies an unpacker of the ready packet. The unpacker puts the ready packet into a FIFO and the ready packet is sent to an ingress/egress module.
