Abstract: A process and apparatus for the selective electroplating of electrical contact elements, used for coating at least one contact surface of a metal base for the contact elements with an electrolyte, containing a material with a higher conductivity as compared to the base. The electrolyte is applied with a long stretched-out plastic electroplating tip which has a plurality of channel passages through which the electrolyte passes and which are arranged at a right angle to the tip. The plurality of channel passages terminates at and empties into at least one discharge opening which extends along the entire length of the tip. The electroplating tip, when it is in the operating position, is arranged such that the at least one discharge opening is positioned on the bottom and extends horizontally. The electrolyte is supplied to the electroplating tip from above. The base is moved at the lower end of the electroplating tip and parallel to said tip, in such a way that the region thereof, which is intended as contact surface, is located at a uniform distance from and at the level of the discharge opening.

Abstract: In using a photoinitiator and irradiation with UV-light suitable monomers can be selectively inoculated on the surface of a non conducting substrate in a distinct pattern. Metal ions are thereafter absorbed by these monomers and are reduced. To this pattern further conducting materials, e.g., metals, can thereafter be added in a conventional way. The method according to the invention comprises a fully additive method to produce a circuit board with high resolution and the production of functional components directly on a non conducting substrate.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a combustion system, in particular an internal combustion engine, and for catalytic cleaning of exhaust gases, as well as a combustion system, catalytically remove a noxious substance from the exhaust gas with the aid of a fluid which is added in a metered manner to the noxious substance. A desired value for a mass flow of the noxious substance in the exhaust gas is prescribed in order to control the combustion system. In this way, the metered addition of the fluid in accordance with the mass flow of the noxious substance is substantially simplified.

Abstract: A polyketide synthase ("PKS") of Type I is a complex multienzyme including a loading domain linked to a multiplicity of extension domains. The first extension module receives an acyl starter unit from the loading domain and each extension module adds a further ketide unit which may undergo processing (e.g. reduction). We have found that the Ksq domain possessed by some PKS's has decarboxylating activity, e.g. generating (substituted) acyl from (substituted) malonyl. The CLF domain of type II PKS's has similar activity. By inserting loading modules including such domains into PKS's not normally possessing them it is possible to control the starter units used.

Abstract: A low frequency vibrator has a stator member with a cylindrical, central chamber, a cylindrical, tubular liner of low friction, non-ferromagnetic material positioned in the chamber to form a bearing and a cylindrical, ferromagnetic, reciprocating piston slidably mounted in the liner. The stator has a pair of coils and a permanent magnet is positioned centrally in the reciprocating piston. A ferromagnetic flux conductor surrounds the coils and extends between opposite ends of the chamber. This structure creates a magnetic spring, having a spring constant K. The ratio of K to the mass M of the reciprocating member is made substantially equal to the square of a radian frequency in the operating frequency range of the vibrator.
