  • Patent number: 12100516
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are included that are configured to model microvascular obstruction (MVO) in patients. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a multi-scale model is configured to mimic myocardial microcirculation of coronary vessels. The model includes collaterals configured to provide alternative pathways possibly bypassing the MVO, and configured to model coronary artery compliance for spatially resolved fluid transport through the coronary vessels. The model is configured to simulate the MVO by increasing flow resistance in at least one of the modelled coronary vessels, or by blocking the at least one of the modelled coronary vessels completely. The model is also configured to mimic behavior of fluid transport in the coronary vessels during diagnostics or treatment, to design and optimize therapy protocols for the MVO.

  • Publication number: 20240080581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging sensor system (26) having a high detection accuracy. The system (26) comprises a plurality of pixel sensors (1) and at least one light source. The pixel sensors (1) are grouped in clusters, wherein each pixel sensor (1) comprises a photodetector (2) and a local controlling circuit (18). The plurality of sensors (1) in each cluster are configured, using local controlling circuits (18), to output a global detection signal (15) when detecting a local detection signal (10) from at least two outputs of the photodetectors (2) of said cluster. The system (26) has a high detection accuracy due to ruling out false positive detections, since each detection requires at least two positive outputs of the photodetectors (2) of said cluster.

  • Patent number: 11691362
    Abstract: A method for marking a workpiece (6) uses a device, wherein the workpiece (6) is formed at least partially in a thermal master or forming process, comprises a surface (10) directed towards the workpiece (6), wherein a number of individually controllable heating elements (2) is distributed behind the surface (10) for a local heating of a workpiece surface portion. Each of the heating elements (2) comprises a solid material (11) having a surface structure and a heating structure (3), wherein the surface (10) directed towards the workpiece (6) encompassing the surface structures (40) has a uniform smooth surface allowing to dark, burn or foam the surface (7) of the workpiece (6) through heat introduction.

  • Publication number: 20220034836
    Abstract: Embodiments concern a high-precision, measurement device operative to measure the water content in media and/or water transport rate by media with high precision and with high dynamic range concerning the flow rate value. Based on a molecular transducer principle, captured water reacts with a reactant characterized by its ability to generate gas as a reaction product. By using an electro-chemical transducing element, an electric signal is generated in accordance with a stoichiometric volume of gas produced and water transferred, which is related to the flow rate of the circulating aqueous solution.

  • Patent number: 11225001
    Abstract: A device for marking a work piece that is at least partially formed or reshaped through a thermal process is provided. The device includes a plurality of heating elements distributed laterally on a surface that is placed against the work piece and can be individually controlled for local heating of a work piece surface. Each of the heating elements includes a solid material with a surface structure and a heating structure. The surface structure includes at least one of a specifically or randomly varied topography. The surface structure can be at least partially heated through the heating structure.
