  • Patent number: 9816464
    Abstract: Thrust vector control for a vehicle having a fluid drive, vehicle having thrust vector control and method of controlling thrust vector. Thrust vector control includes a thrust current region for a thrust current of a propulsion stream having a flow direction; a steering mechanism for the thrust current including at least one steering device arranged at least in a peripheral region of the thrust current region, and the at least one steering device includes a rotational body with a lateral surface and a rotational axis arranged transverse to the flow direction, and the rotational body being rotatable so that a first part of the lateral surface exposed to the thrust current rotates in a first rotational direction, whereby a Magnus effect is produced to deflect the thrust current. The first rotational direction is in a direction of the thrust current.

    Abstract: An endoprosthesis has a surface area which comprises a metal, a metal alloy, a ceramic, a platic material or a fiber-reinforced plastic material, and is uninterruptedly covered with a tissue-inductive or anticoagulant coating, at least partially. The surface area to which the coating is applied has been provided prior to that application with nanostructures having a height and a width in the range of 5 to 999 nm. A method for producing the endoprosthesis provides an endoprosthesis having these features.
