Sealing element for use in a fluid-flow machine

A sealing element for sealing a component gap with respect to a flow, in particular for use in a fluid-flow machine, specifically in a turbomachine is provided. In addition a fluid-flow machine is provided including such a sealing element for sealing a component gap. The sealing element includes a hollow profile enclosing a cavity. Arranged in the hollow profile are a first opening and a second opening, which are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profile. The first opening is formed as an inlet opening for a cooling fluid into the cavity of the hollow profile, the second opening is formed as an outlet opening for the cooling fluid from the cavity of the hollow profile. With the sealing element arranged in a fluid-flow machine, the sealing element can consequently be internally cooled by means of the cooling fluid. Furthermore, the sealing element uses the pressure gradient occurring in the flow in the direction of flow to form a stable cooling fluid flow.

Use of 14-3-3 proteins and a method for determining the same in the fluids or tissues of organisms

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for the detection and/or quantification of the 14-3-3 proteins or their isoforms for early stage diagnosis of TSE-diseases, which method allows to perform the diagnosis in the living organism. It is furthermore an object, to detect a contamination of the sample by the parallel determination of a second antigen. This object according to the invention is solved by making use of the biochemical characteristics of the members of the 14-3-3 protein family, which bind to specific amino acid motifs like X(n)-XSXXSXXSX-X(n) or to the motif RSXpSXP (SEQ ID NO: 12) within peptides or proteins. For determining one or more isoforms or the entirety of the 14-3-3 protein(s) and for specific binding, one uses modified solid phases like e.g. microtiter plates, which are coated with a synthetic or natural peptide containing a binding motif for 14-3-3 proteins, e.g. a chemically synthesised peptide having the motif CAALPKINRSApSEPSLHR (SEQ ID NO: 1). After the addition of the extracts or bodily fluids to be investigated the detection and quantification of the generated peptide-14-3-3 protein complexes is accomplished by means of labeled antibodies. The use of the 14-3-3 protein family and/or of individual isoforms of the 14-3-3 proteins according to the invention can be employed as an effect monitor or biomonitor in aquatic invertebrates after environmental effects like the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), (xeno)estrogens etc. Moreover, the method can be used for early diagnosis of TSE-diseases like e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and its novel form (variant) in young persons (vCJD) and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or comparable diseases. Thus a diagnostic marker (surrogate marker) is available, which can be used in the living organism as a screening marker, confirmation marker or single marker.

Data Gathering Device and Method of Removing Contaminations from a Borehole Wall of a Well Before In Situ Gathering of Formation Data from the Borehole Wall

Data gathering device for in situ gathering of formation data from a borehole wall of a well in an open borehole comprises at least one movable measuring probe structured to be movable out from a well pipe to be able to establish contact with the borehole wall; at least one activation device structured in a manner allowing it to cause said measuring probe movement; at least one measuring sensor which, for measuring at least one formation-associated parameter, is connected to the measuring probe; and at least one data registration device which, for registration of measured parameters, is connected to the measuring sensor. The distinctive characteristic of the data gathering device is that it also comprises at least one suction chamber hydraulically connected to the measuring probe; wherein the suction chamber is structured in a manner allowing it to carry out non-motorized suction of contaminations from the borehole wall before the gathering of formation data is initiated; and wherein the suction chamber is connected to a release means for controlled activation of said suction. This suction removes said contaminations and thus brings about the best possible contact with the borehole wall during gathering of formation data.

Generation of pixel-time series of an examination object by magnetic resonance

In a method and apparatus the generation of a pixel-time series of an examination object by magnetic resonance measurement data for a undersampled measurement data set are recorded along a k-space trajectory in a repetition of a pulse sequence. The pulse sequence is repeated at least once again in each case with the radiation of other RF pulses and / or with activation in each case of other gradients such that, on each repetition, after the one RF excitation pulse, measurement data are measured along a further k-space trajectory, and are stored in respective measurement data sets. The repetitions are performed such that measurement data are measured along an optimized selection of k-space trajectories in successive repetitions. From each of the measurement data sets obtained, an image data set is reconstructed, from which at least one pixel-time series is compiled for at least one pixel from the reconstructed image data sets.
