Abstract: Dialyzer systems can consolidate multiple technologies and functionalities of blood treatment systems in a significantly integrated fashion. For example, this disclosure describes dialyzer systems that include a magnetically driven and magnetically levitating pump rotor integrated into the dialyzer. Such a dialyzer can be used with treatment modules that include a magnetic field-generating pump drive unit. In some embodiments, the dialyzers include pressure sensor chambers with flexible membranes with which corresponding pressure transducers of the treatment modules can interface to detect arterial and/or venous pressures.

Abstract: An automated processing method for fish and an installation for preparing and processing fish has a conveying element for linking a central feed device to a processing machine for processing fish. A number of machines are combined in an installation and are supplied with fish via the central feed belt. Fish are transferred from the central feed device by the conveying element so that the fish automatically reach the respective entry position of the processing machine.

Abstract: Implant (1) for receiving the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) of a medical device, comprising a longitudinal axis (9), a distal end (3) and a proximal end (4), whereby a receiving recess (10) for the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) extends therefrom inside the implant (1), wherein the implant (1) can be connected on its outer surface area to the inner surface area of a receiving bore hole in a bone by force or adaptation, and whereby the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?), which is adapted to the receiving recess (10), can be anchored through clamping, shrinkage, adhesion or cementing. The anchored medical device rests on a contact surface (18) of the top (16) protruding radially outward in its cross-section beyond the cross-section of the receiving recess (10) on the proximal end (4) of the implant (1) across the entire surface against an allocated contact surface (5) of the implant (1) on its proximal end (4).

Abstract: A force transducer is inserted into a small boring inside a test object. Inside the boring, it can measure the elastic extensions caused by the surrounding stress matrix. The force transducer is provided in two parts. Both parts are provided with a conical inner boring or conical outer periphery in such a manner that they can be held inside the boring of the test object by a tractive force. In order to span a large tolerance zone, the outer part is axially provided with multiple slits on both sides. The outer part is provided with a polygonal shape and thereby detects the deformations to be measured, not over the entire periphery, but it records theres via the contacts axially oriented through the axial lines. The extension is integrated in a peripheral direction between the contacts and is transferred into the inner part.
