Abstract: A process for producing a biocompatible three-dimensional article, the process comprising the steps of providing in an elastin derivative provision step a water-soluble elastin derivative, producing in a hydrogel production step a hydrogel for 3D bioprinting comprising said water-soluble elastin derivative, and 3D bioprinting in a bioprinting step the biocompatible three-dimensional article by extrusion of said hydrogel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method (100) in particular for checking a mechanical stress acting on an inductive component (210). The method (100) comprises sensing (110) one or more measured quantities dependent on the mechanical stress when an electrical excitation signal is applied to the inductive component (210). Further, the method (100) comprises determining (120) the mechanical stress acting on the inductive component (210) based on the one or more sensed measured quantities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the surface treatment of poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) comprising the following steps: Providing an article comprising one or more poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs); contacting at least one portion of the surface of the article containing one or more poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) with an aldehyde, wherein the aldehyde reacts with the poly(aryl ether ketone)(s) (PAEKs) on the at least one portion of the surface of the article to form a hydroxyalkyl and/or hydroxyaryl group, a process for functionalizing surface-treated poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) comprising the steps of: a) Treating at least one portion of the surface of an article containing one or more poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) with the surface treatment process for poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) described herein; b) Coating the treated at least one portion of the surface of the article with a composition comprising a chemical compound having chemical groups capable of forming a covale

Abstract: A three-dimensional, porous structure made of fragments of a nanofibre web is provided. Furthermore, a method for the production of a three-dimensional, porous structure made of nanofibre web fragments is proposed. The three-dimensional, porous structure is used for example in medicine, preferably in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the structure according to the invention made of fragments of a nanofibre web can be used for the treatment of tissue damage, for the immobilisation of biological cells, for the construction of biological tissue and as a biological filler in vitro and also in vivo.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for producing an electric machine, an electric machine with a commutator, having commutator hooks for fixing electric wire windings with solder arranged between the commutator hooks and the wire winding and two electrodes arranged adjacent to each other which are pressed against the commutator hooks. An electric current is passed through the commutator hooks by means of electrodes such that the solder melts and forms a connection to the wire winding.
