Abstract: The present invention relates to the systematic identification of antimicrobial resistance markers (biomarkers) in a microorganism for a particular compound and the use of such identified markers for the screening of microorganisms for antimicrobial resistance, as well as for screening/predicting antimicrobial compounds that can overcome the resistance provided by one or more of the antimicrobial resistance marker(s).

Abstract: The present invention provides for the prediction or detection of antimicrobial drug resistance in a microorganism, particularly in a pathogenic microorganism, by determining the presence or absence of antimicrobial resistance markers (AMRs) in the microorganism. This allows for the rapid determination of whether a microorganism is resistant to one or more antimicrobial drugs. The microorganism can be obtained from a patient suffering or suspected of suffering from an infection by the microorganism, and once the determination is made, the patient can be given an antimicrobial drug to which the microorganism is not resistant.

Abstract: A control device (2), for a medical apparatus, having at least one sensor (5) for three dimensionally detecting an object (8) which is configured to render graspable a vector (10) for a direction by its alignment is provided, wherein the object (8) is directed to a target area, and the vector (10) generates an intersection point with a surface of the target area. The control device (2) is adapted to recognize in which target area the intersection point is located and to actuate a predefined action for the target area by the medical apparatus.

Abstract: A recording arrangement (2) includes a first receiving device (25) for receiving an analog video signal (AVS1) and a second receiving device (10) for receiving a digital video signal formed by an MPEG transport stream (TS1), at least one video packet of a received MPEG transport stream (TS1) containing video data encoded in accordance with an MPEG video encoding method (MPEG2 standard (video): ISO/IEC DIS 13.818-2), and further includes a video processor (11) for processing a received video signal (AVS1, TS1) and for supplying an MPEG transport stream (TS3), and also includes a recording device (16) for recording a digital recording data stream (ADS) containing an MPEG transport stream (TS3) supplied by the video processor (11), the video processor (11) further including a video encoder (30) adapted to encode a. digitized video signal (DVS), supplied by the first receiving device (25), in accordance with a further so-called wavelete video encoding method (Research Positions on wavelete image processing; Dec.
