Abstract: In order to improve local specificity and adjustability of the radiant power in radiation diagnostics and in post-operative radiation therapy, the invention devises an implant system (100, 100?, 100?, 100??) having a structural part (50, 50?, 50?, 50??) that can be implanted in a damaged tissue region (30) and has at least a first region (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) made of a first material and at least a second region (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) made of a second material, the first region (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) being designed to support the structural part (50, 50?, 50?, 50??) and being substantially impermeable to a predetermined radiation for the purpose of diagnostics or for medical radiation therapy, and the second region (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) being designed to complement the first region (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) to the structural part (50, 50?, 50?, 50??) and further comprising at least one portion (22a, 2b, 22c, 22d) that is structurally modified.

Abstract: The invention makes available a multi-part implant (10), comprising: a support element (20) for fixing the implant (10) to a bone material; wherein the support element (20) forms a receiving space; and a functional element (30) that can be introduced into the receiving space; wherein the functional element (30) can be fixed in the receiving space (26) by the support element (20) at least with respect to one degree of freedom.

Abstract: Lung tumors are treated in-vitro and in-vivo by an apparatus and method for operating the apparatus wherein the lung being treated is made receptive to ultrasound in order to allow the ultrasound waves to be guided through the healthy lung tissue to the tumor tissue in an optimized manner for the use of FUS therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and method for the in-vitro and in-vivo treatment of bronchial tumors.

Abstract: A screwdriver tool provides positive engagement with screw having a head with a straight slot. An end portion is substantially flat, but is wider at its midpoint than at its ends. A tapering segment extends from the end portion and an engagement area is defined on the side of the segment. Engagement initially occurs at a location intermediate to the ends and midpoint of the end portion. As torque on the screwdriver is increased the engagement extends toward the midpoint and up the side of the segment.

Abstract: This disclosure depicts a novel reversing conveyer track for changing the orientation, direction and spacing of books for use with book construction machinery. The reversing conveyor track first comprises a means for accepting the books and for establishing a predetermined spacing of the books. The means for accepting the books outputs the books with a predetermined velocity. The conveyor track further comprises a means for orienting and directing the books which is attached to the means for accepting the books. The orienting of the books is a change from an edge position to a side position and the direction of the books is a direction of movement different from the input movement direction of books to the means for accepting the books.
