Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a condensed phase of a silk fusion protein, the method comprising the steps of preparing a solution of a silk fusion protein in an aqueous medium and concentrating said silk fusion protein in said aqueous medium, wherein said fusion protein is isolated from a recombinant production host and comprises a silk-like protein sequence and two separate non-silk terminal module sequences, such as cellulose binding modules, SpyCatcher domains, tenth type III module of Fibronectin, gamma-crystallin D, flanking said silk-like protein sequence; wherein the method is performed so that said silk fusion protein is not precipitated and subsequently dissolved to said aqueous medium. The present invention is also directed to using such fusion proteins as adhesives.

Abstract: A plasmonic device to enhance optical processes in samples lying on or in the proximity of the surface of the device comprises a substrate and a plasmonic structure. The plasmonic structure comprises advantageously a full metal layer and a metal grating in connection with the full metal layer. In addition the plasmonic device may comprise an optional adhesion layer between the substrate and the plasmonic structure and/or, an optional protective layer above the full metal layer or metal grating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a biofuel from a vegetable-based biomaterial by performing the manufacture in an integrated manner, in such a way that the biomaterial is made finer and dried with the aid of heat brought from a heat-releasing process, when the drying is finally performed after the finer making stage, optionally in such a way that drying is started already in connection with finer making. The invention also relates to a biofuel manufactured in this manner and the use of the fuel in question.

Abstract: A controlling of a lighting network based on traffic monitoring comprises steps of determining plurality of coverage areas of set of luminaires, where each luminaire comprises at least one light source. Information related to a presence of users in said coverage areas is received. This may relate both outdoor or indoor areas and activity. A status of at least certain luminaire is then changed to a reserve status, when a last detected user exits the coverage area. Each coverage area or luminaire is providing with an expected value for the time of when the next user is expected to arrive in the coverage area of said luminaire, A set of luminaires [R] of said luminaires with the reserve status to be controlled, such as dimmed, is then defined and information related to demand response requests [D1, . . . , Dn] of an electric power grid is received. In addition controlling, such as dimming, at least one of said defined set of luminaires in said reserve is performed in order to fulfill said demand response requests at least partially.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aqueous all-copper redox flow batteries. This battery comprises at least one first and second half-cell compartments including the first and second aqueous electrolyte solutions comprising a copper compound and supporting electrolytes and a first and second electrodes. The battery further comprises external storage tanks for the electrolytes residing outside of the half-cell compartments, and means for circulating the electrolytes to and from the half-cells. There is a separator between the first and the second half-cell, and the half-cells of this battery are configured to conduct oxidation and reduction reactions for charging and discharging the battery.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus comprising thresholding means adapted to check if an average frequency of occurrence of timing violations is outside a range; and controlling means adapted to control at least one of a clock frequency, a processing, a heat generation, a bias voltage, a current, and a temperature in a direction to bring the average frequency of occurrence of timing violations into the range if the average frequency of occurrence of timing violations is outside the range.

Abstract: Explorative searching method, apparatus and computer programs are presented. A first explorative search is run in a first branch. A first group of entities relating to the first explorative search is presented to a user. A second explorative search is run in a second branch in parallel with the first branch. A second group of entities relating to the second explorative search is presented to the user simultaneously with the presenting of the first group of entities. The user is allowed to import one or more entities of either one of the first and second explorative searches to the remaining one of the first and second explorative searches and updating said remaining explorative search.

Abstract: An apparatus, comprising a clock adapted to provide a clock signal alternating with a cycle between a first level and a second level if a timing violation is not detected; a first latch adapted to be clocked such that it passes a first signal when the clock signal is at the first level; a second combinational logic adapted to output a second signal based on the first signal passed through the first latch; a second latch adapted to be clocked such that it passes the second signal when the clock signal is at the second level; a detecting means adapted to detect the timing violation of at least one of the first signal and of the second signal; a time stretching means adapted to stretch, if the timing violation is detected, the clock such that the clock alternates between the first level and the second level with a delay.
