  • Patent number: 11926341
    Abstract: A method for determining a driving maneuver of a vehicle with a control unit includes receiving a measurement data relating to a traffic situation from a sensor, determining a current detection area of the sensor by evaluating the measurement data, and creating a sensor model based on the measurement data. An estimated detection area of the sensor from the measurement data is modelled through forward simulation based on a vehicle position of the vehicle. A change in the estimated detection area of the sensor due to a driving maneuver is determined along with the driving maneuver that causes an increase in the estimated detection area due to the sensor model.

  • Publication number: 20220151763
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vascular prosthesis for a blood vessel of a patient, comprising: a hollow cylindrical main body having a prosthetic material, a longitudinal axis (L), and a stent frame, wherein the main body includes proximal and distal openings at proximal and distal ends, and wherein the vascular prosthesis having a first terminal stent ring attached to the prosthetic material at at least one end, and wherein the vascular prosthesis has at least one thread element attached thereto, wherein the at least one thread element reduces the diameter of the respective distal or proximal opening by tensile loading.

  • Patent number: 10952840
    Abstract: The present invention relates a vascular prosthesis for a blood vessel of a patient, which has the following: a hollow-cylindrical main body with a main lumen extending therein, an also a multiplicity of stent rings, which are not connected to one another, are arranged spaced apart one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vascular prosthesis and running around in a meandering formation. The vascular prosthesis also has four side branches, which extend distally into the main lumen from fenestrations in the prosthesis material lying between the stent rings.
