Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090149978METHOD FOR SELF-SYNCHRONIZATION OF MODULAR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS - A system and method for self-synchronization of modular production systems having components with various alternative capabilities for processing and transporting work units along transport highways, for various component/transport highway configurations. The method includes determining jobs of interest, with each job requiring the production of at least one work unit. The configuration of the components, including at least one machine module, and the transport highway is determined. Each component duration time is determined and a default self-synchronization time is identified. The default self-synchronization time is optimized by adjusting not less than one component duration time.06-11-2009

20090032411METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING PHARMACOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES BY MEASURING MEMBRANE CURRENTS WITH EXTRACELLULAR SENSORS - The present invention relates to a bioelectronic device comprising a living cell which is in operative contact with an extracellular planar potential-sensitive electrode, e.g. a field effect transistor. The cell comprises first and second ion channel/receptor systems which are responsive to stimuli. The ion channels are selected such that the ion flux of the first ion channel is directed against the ion flux of the second ion channel. Thus, the device is suitable as a bioelectronic sensor. Further, the invention relates to a method for determining the response of the cell to a stimulus. The method is e.g. suitable for drug screening.02-05-2009
