Patent number: 9126199Abstract: A hanging drop plate and a method of cultivating cells or of producing molecular aggregates in at least one liquid volume that adheres to a drop contact area of such a hanging drop plate. The hanging drop plate has a body with a first surface and a second surface that is essentially coplanar to the first surface. The second surface has a drop contact area for adherently receiving a liquid volume. The drop contact area is distinguished from a surrounding area by a relief structure that prevents spreading of the liquid volume on the second surface of the body. The body has at least one conduit that mouths into the drop contact area from the direction of the first surface of the body. A liquid volume is applied to the drop contact area through a communicating conduit. Cells and/or molecules can be introduced into this liquid volume.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Universitat Zurich Prorektorat ForschungInventors: Wolfgang Moritz, Jens Kelm, Pierre-Alain Clavien, Simon Philip Hoerstrup

Patent number: 7619416Abstract: A coil assembly for magnetic resonance imaging comprises a sheet (2) of flexible and stretchable dielectric material and at least one electrically conducting coil (4a, 4b) for receiving and/or emitting a radio frequency signal. The coil is attached to and extends along a face of the flexible sheet. At least part of the coil is made of a ribbon shaped braided conductor (6) that is arranged in substantially flat contact with the face.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2008Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignees: Universität Zürich Prorektorat Forschung Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Eidgenössische Technische HochschuleInventors: Jurek Nordmeyer-Massner, Nicola De Zanche, Klass Prüssmann

Publication number: 20090196300Abstract: A method of forwarding data packets in a communication network includes the following steps: a) generating a stream of data packets at a first subscriber; b) adding to each of the data packets in the stream a recipient individualizing information to form individualized data packets; c) forwarding the individualized data packets to a first repeater node; d) flooding the individualized data packets from the first repeater node to any further subscriber connected to the first repeater node; e) flooding the individualized data packets to any further repeater node connected to the first repeater node; f) flooding the individualized data packets in any further repeater node analogous to the steps d) and e); g) connecting any possible further subscriber of the stream of individualized data packets to a repeater node selected from a group containing the first repeater node and any further repeater nodes and g) enabling only those of the any possible subscribers to access a content of the individualized data packets wType: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2007Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicants: UNIVERSITAT Zurich Prorektorat ForschungInventors: Georg Carle, Jochen Schiller, Andreas Schrader, Burkhard Stiller

Patent number: 7208951Abstract: A novel magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or spectroscopy method is presented, in which a main magnetic field is generated in an object by a main magnet and superimposed magnetic fields and adiofrequency fields are generated according to an MR sequence for forming images or spectra. Object signals are acquired from the object with at least one object detector during execution of the MR sequence. Further, additional data are acquired from at least one monitoring field probe positioned in the vicinity of and surrounding the object, during execution of the MR sequence. The additional data from the monitoring field probes are used for adjusting the MR sequence such as to correct for imperfections in the field response of the object detectors, and the additional data from the monitoring field probes are used in conjunction with the object signals for reconstruction of the images or spectra.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignees: Universitat Zurich Prorektorat Forschung, ETH Zurich, ETH TransferInventors: Klaas P.
