Abstract: A surgical working instrument (3) is disclosed that is inserted in a working channel (7) of an endoscope (2) and is slidably located therein. A device (27) for determination of the relative position of the working instrument (3) to the endoscope (2) is configured to determine in an optical manner that the distal end (8) of the working instrument (3) has reached a distal end (8) of the working channel (7). The position determination device (27) comprises a light conductor (28) that is attached to the working instrument (3) and configured to receive light surrounding the working instrument (3) in the vicinity of its distal end (14), wherein based on the light received by the light conductor (28) the relative position of the light conductor (28) and thus the working instrument (3) in relation to the endoscope (2) can be determined.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for generating libraries of transformation functions and for executing programs compiled for a source architecture on machines having a different target architecture using a hybrid just-in-time load module compiler, a non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions for performing such methods, and systems for performing such methods. The systems and methods may enable effective operation of the load module compiler with self-modifying code, and may apply optimizations in the selections of basic blocks for just-in-time compilation, and in the use of optimized library functions to improve system performance.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for the selective substitution of legacy load module programs with classes for execution in a Java virtual machine.

Abstract: A tissue analysis device is described having a light receiving device and a spectrometer device for determination of tissue characteristics which includes an evaluation device connected with an assignment device. The evaluation device serves for determination of at least one tissue characteristic of a biological tissue, e.g. of its type or an infection with a disease. The assignment device serves for assignment of a suitable transmission curve model that models the contamination of the light receiving device. For different degrees of contamination different transmission curve models are provided that comprise reliability values for each tissue characteristic that can be determined respectively. Not only the tissue analysis can be achieved, but also the indication of the reliability with which the analysis has been carried out, i.e. how reliable the indication of the tissue characteristic is.

Abstract: A system is described to provide protection key access control in a system whose operating system and processor were not designed to provide a protection key memory access control mechanism. Such a system can be applied to an emulator or to enable a system that executes native applications to be interoperable with a legacy system that employs protection key memory access control.
