20080307899Pressure Sensor - The invention relates to a pressure sensor which can be incorporated into textile products. The pressure sensor includes a multilayer thread having a pressure sensitive layer exhibiting a pressure-dependent electrical resistance, and a conductive layer in contact with the pressure sensitive layer. Further, the sensor includes conductive threads in contact with the multilayer thread.12-18-2008
20090208989Fluorescence Spectropscopy In Absorbing Media - The invention relates to processes and devices for detecting an analyte in a sample by fluorescence measurement.08-20-2009
20090212109ANALYTE DISPOSABLE MEANS AND DEVICE FOR READING INFORMATION - An arrangement is provided for reading information from a disposable with an information carrier which comprises a code formed by graphic symbols for the machine-readable provision of information and an optical reading device for the code which has a light source and a sensor. Generally according to the embodiments of the present invention, the information. carrier comprises a code applied to a transparent or translucent substrate which can be read under stationary transillumination by means of the light source as a shadow image projected onto the sensor.08-27-2009
20090219590METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLARIZATION HOLOGRAMS - The present invention relates to a method for the production of polarization holograms, an apparatus for the production of polarization holograms and the use of the polarization holograms according to the invention as data stores, security features or diffractive optical elements for performing conventional optical functions.09-03-2009
20100046750CODING METHOD, DECODING METHOD, CODEC AND DATA STORAGE MEDIUM FOR HOLOGRAPHIC STORAGE - In a coding method for the encryption of information worth protecting on a holographic data storage medium, an item of information (I; I02-25-2010
20110064618FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY IN ABSORBING MEDIA - The invention relates to processes and devices for detecting an analyte in a sample by fluorescence measurement of a fluorophore, wherein the detection medium which contains a fluorophore or a precursor of the fluorophore is admixed with an absorber whose absorbance spectrum superimposes the fluorescence excitation range of the fluorophore. The system consisting of the fluorophore and the absorber, which is produced in the detection medium, has an altered effective fluorescence excitation range with an altered fluorescence excitation maximum. Illumination with fluorescence excitation light can take place within the range of this altered excitation maximum. The measured signal obtained from determining fluorescence emission exhibits only low dependence on the wavelength of the excitation light.03-17-2011
