Abstract: A hand-held power tool is provided which includes a clutch housing of a torque clutch, and a planetary gear, situated in a gear housing, for transmitting a torque which is generated by a drive motor to a drive shaft. The clutch housing cooperates with the planetary gear via a pressure plate. The pressure plate is displaced in the axial direction in order to disengage the torque clutch. The axial relative motion of the pressure plate causes an axial relative motion between a switching element and an associated optical sensor, via which the drive motor may be switched off.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for reducing pressure variations in a fluid flowing in an aspiration branch of a surgical system, which pressure variations are generated by a pump that delivers in a non-continuous manner in the active operating state, with a diffuser arrangement which is arranged, in the aspiration branch, upstream of the pump in the direction of flow of the fluid. The invention also relates to a surgical system, in particular an ophthalmic microsurgical system for lens surgery.

Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical cassette acts with a peristaltic pump having a wheel defining a periphery and includes a cassette body having a first recess which, in cross section, has a circle segment shape defining a circular arc. The first recess permits the wheel of the peristaltic pump to engage therein. An aspiration line transports aspirated fluid via the pump. A second recess along the circular arc of the circle segment shape has a wall forming a fluid channel. The fluid channel has a first end connected to the aspiration line and a second end connected to a collection container supply line. An elastic cover covers the channel and is held to ensure a constant spacing of the cover to the second recess to permit fluid from the aspiration line to be transported through the channel to the container supply line via the wheel acting on the cover.

The spring-holding element includes at least one opening, through which the at least one spring element reaches, at least sectionally.

Abstract: A method for carrying out eye surgery comprises a comparison of images recorded before surgery with images recorded during surgery in order to generate a marker which represents a target orientation of an intraocular lens or a difference between a current orientation and the target orientation of the intraocular lens. An eye surgery system respectively comprises an imaging system which is used during a surgery and has a camera, and a diagnostic system which is used before surgery and which also has a camera. The imaging system used during surgery comprises an image processing device in order to perform a computation based on the recorded images, and in order to determine a respective orientation value, from which a representation of a marker representing the target orientation of the intraocular lens is obtained.

Abstract: A method and system for configuring heterogeneous servers across a network through modules that can browse, snapshot, track changes, track compliance, correct server objects on each of the servers, and provision new servers is provided. In one embodiment, server objects on multiple servers can be browsed in real time. While browsing, a collection of server object identifiers can be selected and collected in a template. The values of the server objects identified in the template can be recorded for a “gold server” through a “snapshot” process, which collects the values and saves them in a reference model. By comparing other live servers to the reference model, discrepancies in configuration of the other live servers can be identified and corrected. The reference models can also be used to provision a new server. Alternative to the reference model, an arbitrary snapshot or scheduled snapshots of a server can be used to track change and compliance in that server.
