20140163458 | Catheter Having a Healing Dummy - A catheter for implantation into tissue, the catheter comprising a tubing having a lumen and defining an outer boundary between the catheter and the tissue when the catheter is implanted in the tissue, a healing dummy being insertable in the lumen with clearance so as to prevent tissue ingrowth from the tissue into the lumen when the healing dummy is within the lumen, wherein the healing dummy is removable from the lumen by pulling the healing dummy relative to the tubing out of the lumen, and a perfusion insert being insertable in the lumen when the healing dummy is removed from the lumen, being configured for supplying a perfusion fluid to the tissue so as to initiate interaction between the perfusion fluid and tissue, and being configured for collecting perfusion fluid after interaction with tissue. | 06-12-2014 |
20140125695 | VISUALIZATION OF IMAGE TRANSFORMATION - A method is provided comprising: obtaining first and second datasets representative of first and second images of an object at different times, respectively; obtaining a deformation field, representative of changes between the first and second data sets, by performing a rigid or non-rigid registration; generating one or more masks and/or segmentations for selecting elements of the first image; selecting elements of the first image; transforming the first dataset using the deformation field to project the selected elements onto the second image; visualizing the deformation field or previously specified portions thereof; processing the deformation field or previously specified portions thereof to obtain data representative of different predetermined types of deformation; and visualizing the deformation field or one or more selected portions thereof, thereby to visualise the predetermined types of deformations separately and to enable a differentiation between changes in the patient and changes, in particular errors in the patient's position. | 05-08-2014 |
20130153814 | Solution or Suspension Containing Fluoropolymer, Method for Producing Same, and Use Thereof for Producing Piezoelectric and Pyroelectric Coatings - The invention relates to a method for producing a homogenous solution of a fluoropolymer, selected from fluoropolymers and fluoro-copolymers and mixtures of various fluoro-homopolymers and/or fluoro-copolymers in a high boiling solvent, whereby (a) the fluoropolymer to be dissolved is dissolved in a mixture of at least two solvents, the first comprising a boiling point of less than 150° C., and/or a vapor pressure of over 5 hPa (at 20° C.), and the second being a high boiling solvent comprising a boiling point at least 50 K higher than the first solvent and/or the boiling point thereof being selected so that the solvent mixture comprises a separation factor α of ≧1, and subsequently (b) the first solvent is substantially or completely removed from the mixture. The invention further relates to a method for producing suspensions of inorganic particles of a piezoelectrically and pyroelectrically active or activatable oxide in such fluoropolymer solutions and to the product of said method. The colorless fluoropolymer solutions and opaque white suspensions are suitable for producing laminar piezoelectric and pyroelectric coatings, in particular using doctor blade or screen printing methods. | 06-20-2013 |
20120165625 | Device For The Transcutaneous, In Vivo Measurement Of The Concentration Of At Least One Analyte In A Living Organism - The invention relates to a device for the transcutaneous, in vivo measurement of the concentration of at least one analyte in a living organism, comprising a carrier which can be introduced into the organism, and a luminescence indicator which is immobilized on the carrier and which reacts to a change in the concentration of the analyte to be measured with a change in at least one optical property, wherein the luminescence indicator is transcutaneously connected to a source for providing the excitation radiation and a detector for detecting the measuring radiation. According to the invention, the luminescence indicator is immobilized on the outer circumference of a catheter, which is used to dispense a fluid medium, for example a medicament, into the organism or to suck up a body fluid. | 06-28-2012 |
20120015901 | METHODS AND PREPARATIONS FOR PROTECTING CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS - The present invention relates to a method of treating a life threatening condition in a critically ill human patient with a non-infectuous disorder, wherein the critically ill patient is a patient receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition, the method comprising the step of administering to said patient an autophagy inducing agent. | 01-19-2012 |
20110011786 | Devices For And Methods of Monitoring a Parameter of a Fluidic Sample by Microdialysis - A device for monitoring a parameter of a fluidic sample by microdialysis, the device comprising a permeable membrane, wherein the permeable membrane has a first surface to be brought in contact with the fluidic sample to traverse the permeable membrane ( | 01-20-2011 |
