A waveguide structure for evanescent wave microscopy and/or spectroscopy, comprising an optically transparent core layer, a lower dielectric cladding layer and an upper dielectric cladding layer arranged on opposite sides of the core layer. The core layer has a refractive index higher than the refractive indices of the cladding layers. The upper cladding layer is made of an organic material. A sample well is arranged on an upper surface of the core layer formed by a cavity in the upper cladding layer, the sample well being adapted to contain a sample medium with one or more sample objects. The core layer is made of a first dielectric inorganic material, and the upper cladding layer has a refractive index which closely matches the refractive index of the sample medium. A method for manufacturing such waveguide structure, and a measurement system comprising the waveguide structure are also disclosed.

Waveguide structure

A motor vehicle arrangement having a control device for controlling the vehicle. The control device is at least adjustable in the vertical direction. The control device has a parking position in which the vehicle cannot be driven and there is no operative connection for starting, accelerating or braking the vehicle etc. from the operating controls of the vehicle. The control device is releasable from the parking position to a driving position using an authorization verification element which adjusts the driving position. In the driving position, an operative connection is established between the operating control elements of the vehicle and corresponding actuating elements.

Motor vehicle arrangement

The present invention relates to a vehicle seating arrangement having a number of seats. The seats are arranged so that they can be moved between different mutual positions along at least two parallel rails that extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the vehicle floor. Each of the seats have a backrest part and a seat part, and are slidably attached to the rails by means of coupling members. The seats can be locked by way of the coupling members in a number of positions along the rails. The seat part of the seats is pivotably mounted in relation to the backrest part in such a way that it can assume a first, folded-down position and a second position wherein it is folded up against the backrest part. At least one rail extends essentially in the transverse direction of the vehicle. This transverse rail connects the rails extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to each other in such a way that the seats can be moved, via the transverse rail, from engagement with one longitudinally extending rail to another.
