20090266442 | Device for determining a fill level of a liquid container of an appliance, particularly a domestic appliance, and fill level sensor and detector circuit therefor - In order to determine a level, especially a safety level of a liquid container of an appliance operating with or processing a liquid, particularly a household appliance, a detector circuit is connected to a liquid level sensor array and emits a warning signal when the respective liquid reaches or exceeds a certain defined level in the liquid container accommodating the same. The aim is achieved by the fact that the liquid level sensor array contains at least one liquid level sensor which is provided with an electrically conducting contact part that is disposed in an isolated manner and encompasses an area which is uncovered or exposed for contacting the liquid only at the height of the defined level while the contact part is connected to a signal input of the detector circuit whose reference potential input associated with the corresponding signal input is connected to the liquid. | 10-29-2009 |

20120014019 | METHOD OF OPERATING A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE - In a method for operating a household appliance having at least one electrical consumer activated by power electronics an actual value representing a temperature loading of the power electronics is determined and compared with a limit value representing a maximum tolerable temperature loading of the power electronics in normal load operation. When the actual value is below the limit value; an overload operation is enabled at least temporarily with a higher power than in normal load operation. | 01-19-2012 |

20160102288 | EFFICIENT STEM CELL DELIVERY INTO BIOMATERIALS USING CAPILLARY DRIVEN ENCAPSULATION - Efficient stem cell delivery into biomaterials using capillary driven encapsulation are disclosed herein where stem/progenitor and/or tissue specific cells are rapidly and efficiently seeded via capillary driven encapsulation into a porous scaffold for cell deliver in the skin or any other organ. The rapid capillary force approach maximizes both seeding time and efficiency by combining hydrophobic, entropic and capillary forces to promote active, ‘bottom-up’ cell engraftment. This methodology uses micro domain patterned biopolymers in a porous dry gel to generate capillary pressure to move a viscous stem cell mix from a hydrophobic reservoir into the polymer matrix to promote active cell seeding within the entire gel volume. | 04-14-2016 |

20120279561 | Hollow Photovoltaic Fiber - A hollow photovoltaic fiber. The hollow photovoltaic fiber includes semiconductor formed on the inner surface of a hollow tube or on a flexible substrate subsequently formed into a hollow tube. The hollow photovoltaic fiber is suitable a variety of semiconductor devices, including solar cells. Light entering the hollow photovoltaic fiber deposits energy in the semiconductor as it travel through the tube. The hollow photovoltaic fiber exhibits improved energy conversion efficiency over planar thin film solar cells due to the large semiconductor surface area and longer light travel path provided by the tube. Embodiments of the hollow photovoltaic fiber are lightweight and flexible allowing the creation of non-planar solar cells and the applications for solar cells to extend into such areas as the manufacture of photovoltaic textiles or photovoltaic non-woven fabrics. | 11-08-2012 |
