Abstract: Device for the inspection of products, whereby this device (1) comprises means to convey these products (2) along a track (4) in the shape of a product flow (5) extending in the width, characterised in that it comprises at least one scanner (9-10) for inspecting the products (2), whereby this scanner (9-10) is situated on one side of the aforesaid track (4).

Abstract: The invention provides an expandable double-walled sleeve whose space between the walls is filled with curable material and which is designed for the local support and/or reinforcement of a body vessel, absorbent material being provided between its walls which are fabricated from an essentially non-extensible material. This achieves the advantage that the curable material remains uniformly distributed between the walls of the sleeve even if the sleeve is rolled around a still unexpanded PTA balloon in order to be brought to the desired position by means of said balloon.

Abstract: A stent made of a hollow expandable ring or sleeve is inserted into a body vessel to locally support or strengthen the vessel. The stent includes a compartment filled with a curable material. The stent is fixed to an inflatable balloon and positioned within the vessel at the desired location. When the balloon is inflated, the stent is expanded into a desired shape. A light conducting fiber is introduced into the vessel to irradiate the material to cure the material in the stent, such that the stent retains the desired shape even after the balloon is removed from the body vessel.
