Operating loss was kEUR2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to an operating loss of kEUR2.5 million in the comparative period last year. Net loss for the quarter was kEUR0.3 million or [EUR0.06 per ADS], compared to net loss of kEUR2.2 million, or [EUR0.62 per ADS], in the prior year same quarter. We have provided the same presentation for the full-year period ended December 31, 2018 on Slide 30 through 33.

A number of water absorption and transport tests have been developed2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (principles of the test can be found in Supplementary Table S1 online and Tang et al’s review article11). Some can provide only general characterization of surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, others require delicate equipment (e.g. spectrophotometer12, tomography device13,14, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer15, MRI scanner16,17). Despite this, existing testing methods do not simulate the end-use conditions of fabric (e.g. do not wet the fabric continuously18 or do not deliver water to fabric in proper direction19,20,21), could not differentiate the direction of water spread18,22,23 and could only apply to certain types of fabrics (e.g. fabrics in plain colour only24,25). The testing processes in some cases are complicated5,12,17,26,27 and most of them are incapable of obtaining sufficient information on the water transport property (e.g. only in-plane wicking property was investigated but not transplanar wicking)6,18,28. Take Gravimetric Absorption Testing System (GATS) as an example29, the amount of water absorption in a fabric layer was measured against time. However, it does not give any information about the transplanar water flow. Miller and Friedman30 mentioned that in-plane wicking rate may not be reliable for predicting flow in transplanar direction, hence a measurement method which can measure two directions of wicking is desired. Additionally, for some existing methods23,31,32, water was applied to the fabric based on its water absorption capacity (i.e. demand wetting principle). The recently developed instrument, Spontaneous Uptake Water Transport Tester (SUWTT)33, is also based on this principle, so more water is supplied to the more water absorbent fabrics during the tests, which tends to differ from the actual end-use conditions. In other existing tests18,21, although fixed quantity of water was applied, the rate of water supply could not be quantified. In fact, the degree of comfort of fabric might vary with the end use condition. Fabrics with low water absorption capacity but moderate water transport property may be favourable at relatively low sweating levels. It is, however, less desirable under high sweating levels. Sweat may accumulate on skin surface or even drop off from skin which may affect body heat dissipation. Hence, extra care is required when selecting fabric for particular use. In general, thermophysiological comfort is a result of combined effects of the wearer (e.g. metabolic rate and emotion), his/her clothing and the external environment (e.g. air temperature, air velocity, humidity and radiant temperature)34. Once the harmony among these three components is upset, a sensation of discomfort will be evoked. In this study, environmental condition was set to be constant (20 + 1 °C and 65 + 5% R.H.) while the effect of clothing material was investigated under different sweat rates. Supplementary Table S2 online gives a summary about the sweat rate under different activity and environmental condition. With reference to Supplementary Table S2 online and various standards35,36, Supplementary Table S3 online gives an estimate of sweat rate under different level of work. Reader can refer to these tables when choosing fabrics for particular end-use.

H.C. Starck supplies MoLa alloys in a range of forms, including bars, rods, plates, sheets, and as complex assembled products:

The growth of sapphires typically takes place at high temperatures of approximately 2,100 °C. In the Kyropolous process, rod heaters made of pure tungsten are employed as standard, but these heaters must be switched after only a small number of cycles as a result of the high levels of deformation and embrittlement. The heater rods, in some extreme instances, can even short circuit when they come into contact with the shielding.

Five-layer-pair multilayers (50 mm × 3.15 mm) with U-shaped patterning were used. Copper wires were connected to both ends of the U shape–patterned LbL film using silver paste. The object scanner was fixed between two metal frames with Kapton tape (VWR International) for electrical insulation. For object scanning, the copper wires were connected to the multimeter.

An ideal, industrially relevant catalyst should make use not only of base metals but also of inexpensive and renewable ligands/supports. In this context, we introduced the crab shell–derived biopolymer chitosan for catalyst preparation, both in hydrodehalogenations of alkyl and (hetero)aryl halides (32), as well as the selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes (33). Chitosan is derived by deacetylation of chitin, which represents a biowaste on a million metric ton scale (34). Despite the availability, cheap price, and known coordination to a variety of metals (35, 36) of this biopolymer, its use in heterogeneous catalysis still is narrow (37, 38). In addition, an efficient catalyst recycling is important especially for bulk chemical applications. In this respect, magnetic nanostructered materials might offer innovative potential (39).

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. With me today are Dr. Ingo Ederer, voxeljet’s Chief Executive Officer; and Rudi Franz, voxeljet’s Chief Financial Officer. Yesterday, after the market closed, voxeljet issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full-year financial results for the period ended December 31, 2018. The release, as well as the accompanying presentation for this conference call is available in the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at voxeljet.com.

At the start of our investigations, around 25 different cobalt catalysts were synthesized by thermal treatment of cobalt(II) acetate and chitosan. Typically, these materials were prepared by stirring different ratios of Co(OAc)2·4H2O and chitosan in ethanol at 65°C for 18 hours. Afterward, the solvent was removed and the residue was dried overnight at 65°C by applying high vacuum. The resulting samples were ground in an agate mortar, pyrolized in between 700° and 1000°C, and ground again.

U.S. Patent No. 9,527,275, for “High Accuracy Inkjet Printing,” covers hardware and software for precision printing of multiple graphic swaths of color ink onto complex surfaces, creating a continuous graphic image. Each graphic swath can be aligned over curved surfaces without spaces, gaps, or discontinuities.

New York City-based Link3D, which offers an additive manufacturing execution system (AMES) to help customers connect the digital world to their 3D printing workflow and production planning. Today, the company launched its new Additive Material Recommendation System (AMRS), which will also help when it comes to enhancing 3D printing workflow software.

Our group (25–27) and others (28–30) have shown that simple pyrolysis of molecular-defined cobalt complexes, impregnated on inert supports, leads to materials with activity/selectivity profiles similar to homogeneous catalysts. Most recently, it was shown that the pyrolysis of a defined MOF gave a highly active reductive amination catalyst showing a broad substrate scope (31).
