Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of products by means of active radio tags. According to the invention, packagings of products are provided with an active radio tag that detects at least one environmental condition and/or at least one packaging state, and which emits a signal at time intervals, which provides information about a unique identifier and at least one state in which the respective product is found. The signal is picked up by a receiver that extracts the unique identifier and the state information and transmits same together with location information to an external server.

Abstract: A heater assembly for a vaporizer including a heat exchanger with an interior surface having at least one ridge and groove, and a heater positioned in the bore. An air management system for a vaporizer including a valve that allows air to be drawn through a valve inlet and pumped through a valve outlet with a pump or drawn through the valve outlet and inlet with external suction. A system and method for generating a workflow sequence for a vaporizer. The system and method including receiving task selections arranged in a task order, and generating a workflow sequence that is configured to instruct the vaporizer to sequentially perform the tasks associated with the task selections in the task order. A vaporizer that is configured to receive task selections arranged in a task order and sequentially perform the tasks associated with the task selections in the task order.

Abstract: A stent retractor/distractor includes a radially flexibly enlargeable, pipe-shaped sheath which is divided up in the circumferential direction in at least two sections, namely one stiffening section and one enlarging section with differing radial flexibilities, which are connected with each other in one piece of material. The stent retractor/distractor defined in that way is made on the whole by a laser or water jet cutting procedure, preferably from a pipe blank.

Abstract: A surgical retractor system includes a substantially tubular retractor having several segments which can be irreversibly severed from one another to carry out a length adaptation of the retractor. A segment is subdivided into an expanding section and a plate section of differing radial flexibility and connected to each other in a one-piece material bond to allow plastic radial expansion of the retractor. An extractor can be operated to bring about plastic radial constriction of the retractor contrary to the radial expansion of the retractor. The extractor is prepared to cooperate with the plate section to bring about radial constriction of the retractor. A surgical instrument for removing a distractor or retractor from an opening includes at least one handle section defining a handle's longitudinal axis and at least one operating section defining a longitudinal effective axis, which are coupled to each other by a connecting section.
