Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical sensor (1) for measuring pulse, blood, tissue and/or skin parameters by means of electromagnetic waves in the transmission or reflection method. The sensor (1) has a strip- and/or band-shaped carrier part (2) which carries at least one transmitter element and at least one receiver element. In order that the sensor (1) can be used on a patient more than once and is sufficiently secured against relative movements with respect to a body part, the carrier part (2), on an inner side (9) provided to make contact with the body part, has at least two adhesive bodies (25, 26) which are spaced apart from one another and during measurement adhere to the body part, while the rest of the inner side (9) is designed to be essentially non-adhesive with respect to the body part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical sensor (1) for measuring pulse, blood, tissue and/or skin parameters using electromagnetic waves in the transmission method, comprising a carrier part (2) for pushing onto a patient's finger or toe. A first carrier leg (12) carries a transmitter unit (5) and a second carrier leg (13) carries a receiver unit (6). A carrier base (14) connects the two carrier legs (12, 13) to one another in the region of a tip of the finger or toe. A spring part (3) is arranged on the outside of the carrier part (2) such that a first spring leg (15) bears against the first carrier leg (12) and a second spring leg (16bear against the second carrier leg (13). The carrier part (2) is made of a more flexible material than the spring part (3), in which the spring legs (15, 16) prestress the carrier legs (12, 13) toward one another.

Abstract: A power amplifier arrangement comprises a power amplifier in a semiconductor body. At least one first input terminal on the surface of the semiconductor body is provided for feeding in a signal to be amplified. A first output tap of the arrangement is designed for outputting a signal with a first center frequency; a second and a third output tap are designed for outputting a second signal with a second center frequency. A line wire is respectively connected to the second and third output taps on the surface of the semiconductor body. According to the invention, a charge store is provided, which is coupled to the third output tap and is designed for forming a series resonant circuit with the line wire connected to the third output tap.

Abstract: The insulation piercing electrical contact in accordance with the invention consists of a first contact element (20) for establishing an electrical contact with a second contact element (30), a contacting member (50) piercing an electrical conductor (60, 63) when the two contact elements (20, 30) are joined. The first contact element is provided with a molding (20) that encloses the electrical conductor (60, 63) at the contact side and electrically insulates it.

Abstract: An introduction apparatus for a fetal scalp electrode comprises an electrode head that is rotatably fixed but disengageably connected to an inner tube. During introduction, both are surrounded by an outer tube. According to the invention, there is also a disengageable driving connection between the electrode head and the outer tube. This driving connection is configured in preferred embodiments of the invention as a bayonet connection, or as a spring-loaded stop apparatus. Further embodiments provide for a shearable or threaded-like connection.
