| 20120123559 | PUMP COMPRISING A MOVING WALL AND USE OF A PUMP OF THIS TYPE - The invention relates to a pump comprising a wall, which forms an enclosed fluid volumetric space and which can be moved by a first force in a direction resulting in a decrease in volume and, after a preceding decrease in volumetric space, can be moved by a second force in a direction resulting in an increase in volume. The pump also comprises an inlet valve, which communicates with an inlet valve, and comprises an outlet valve in an outlet line of the fluid volumetric space. The inventive pump has a compact design due to the fact that it is provided in the form of a vacuum pump whose volumetric space can be decreased by the external first force acting against an elastically deformable material whose restoring force, after the external force ceases, generates the second force acting counter to the generated vacuum. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20110320011 | ORTHOPEDIC CUSHION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to an orthopaedic cushion made from a filled elastomer or softened thermoplastics and can be provided with a thin friction-reducing coating made from a non-polar, non-hydrophilic slip-increasing polymer coating namely poly(para-xylene). According to the invention, the above can be achieved by means of a method in which the polymerised polyurethane cushion is subjected to at least one pre-treatment step in which volatile components are removed to such an extent as to be able to be immediately coated. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20110280957 | Use of Finely Dispersed Metal Particles in a Material, a Skin Patch and an Orthopedic Article - The invention relates to a material which is provided for use in direct contact with the skin of a user and which contains a percentage in silver that is finely dispersed in said material. The material is provided with a content in another metal that is finely dispersed in the material in addition to the silver content. The metals of the group including aluminum, magnesium, zinc, bronze, titanium and platinum are suitable either individually or in combination and in amounts between 0.1 and 1% by weight. The use of the metal particles is also suitable to conceal discolorations in a pigmented or dyed synthetic material when the material is used in air or on the skin. The metal particles do not impair the properties of the material. The material can be used to produce skin patches of any kind, especially for use in orthopedics. | 11-17-2011 |
