  • Publication number: 20240269451
    Abstract: A sheath for producing a fully sealed access to the interior of a vessel of an animal or human body comprises a base sheath having a tubular body defining a pass-through channel. The base sheath is adapted to be inserted into the vessel through a vessel aperture. A wall of the tubular body of the base sheath has a through channel. This channel extends in the wall from the distal end towards the proximal end. The channel can be present separately from the pass-through channel of the base sheath or can form a sideways extension of the pass-through channel, at least at the distal end. Such through channel is adapted to conduct blood from the vessel to the proximal end of the sheath when the sheath has been inserted into a vessel.

  • Patent number: 8846969
    Abstract: The invention concerns Phenolic Configurationally Locked Polyene Single Crystals, which are especially suited as highly efficient nonlinear optical organic material. The invention also concerns methods for growth of crystalline thin films or bulk crystals from melt and/or solution. The compounds are suited and the methods may be used for manufacturing optical elements for several bulk and integrated applications, e.g. electro-Optics and THz-Wave applications.

  • Patent number: 7974658
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system, for subterranean wireless data transmission between at least one mobile station and affixed network by means of a radio network for the monitoring and control of subterranean moving machines. The fixed network comprises a number of fixed base stations embodied as access points, each base station being connected to the fixed network by means of at least one data transmission connection, preferably by cable. Each base station and the mobile station comprise a transceiver device and the data transmission between the mobile station and the fixed network is achieved in a wireless manner over the radio network via at least one base station.

  • Publication number: 20100233956
    Abstract: A method for wireless underground data transmission between a large number of mobile stations and a fixed network involves the mobile stations being stored in depersonalized form, advantageously in a loading station. Upon removal, the mobile stations are personalized using a personalization device associated with the mobile station, for example by inputting a code or by an RFID card arranged close by which makes contact with the mobile station without touching it, so that said mobile station can also be reached by means of a personalized user identifier in addition to the associated appliance-specific identifier. Following use, each mobile station is depersonalized using the personalization device associated with the mobile station when it is returned to the storage station.

  • Publication number: 20100061300
    Abstract: An apparatus for linking mobile communication devices to wireless networks in underground edifices includes a plurality of base stations which are arranged at a spatial distance from one another inside tunnel systems, substantially in the direction of the tunnel axes, such that the reception areas of two adjacent base stations overlap as little as possible. All base stations operate on a single common channel. In a method used for the apparatus, the mobile station switches to an adjacent base station when a quality signal drops below a predetermined threshold value.
