Abstract: The invention concerns a medicine dispensation device, in particular a multi-dose powder inhalator, for the dispensing of individual doses of medicine as depicted in exemplary FIG. 1. Therein a number of medicine chambers are contained in a medicine magazine shaped like a continuous loop. The medicine chambers form groups in such a manner that a mouthpiece reaches the different groups by an essentially complete rotation of the medicine magazine. This enables several medicine chambers—typically one, two or three—to be situated between two successive intake positions, which allows for a high density of medicine chambers and thus creates an inhalation device, which can be handled comfortably even when containing a great number of individual doses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medicament dispensing device, particularly a multi-dose powder inhaler, a medicament magazine thereof, and a method of removing a medicament from the medicament magazine as depicted in exemplary FIG. 1. The inhaler has a mouthpiece (9) and an air channel (4) connected thereto, as well as a medicament magazine with at least one medicament chamber containing a powdered medicament. A drive current is produced in the air channel, while a vacuum flow (5?) can be produced by the drive current and a constriction formed in the air channel. This narrowest part of the air channel that produces the vacuum flow is connected to a removal opening (2) which communicates with a control opening (3), in order to form an emptying current through the control opening via the removal opening. In a preferred embodiment the at least one medicament chamber including the control opening, the removal opening and a fill opening are housing in the one-piece medicament magazine.

Abstract: Implants (7) for forming a positive connection with human or animal parts include a material, such as thermoplastics and thixotropic materials, that can be liquefied by means of mechanical energy. The implants (7) are brought into contact with the tissue part, are subjected to the action of ultrasonic energy while being pressed against the tissue part. The liquefiable material liquefies and is pressed into openings or surface asperities of the tissue part so that, once solidified, the implant is positively joined thereto. The implantation involves the use of an implantation device that includes a generator (2), an oscillating element, and a resonator (6). The generator (2) causes the oscillating element to mechanically oscillate, and the element transmits the oscillations to the resonator (6). The resonator (6) is used to press the implant (7) against the tissue part to transmit oscillations to the implant (7).

Abstract: A nebuliser and a container in each case with an aeration device are proposed, the aeration device being designed for the direct aeration of a liquid space in the container. The container comprises a rigid, gas-tight outer case and a closure, which is opened by connecting or inserting a delivery element. A long storage life and long service life with low loss of fluid or solvent are thereby provided in the form of a simple and inexpensive construction.

Abstract: A device for dispensing drops of a liquid is disclosed. The device comprises a liquid accelerating vessel (11) for receiving a volume of the liquid to be dispensed, a nozzle (14) which is directly mechanically connected with the liquid accelerating vessel (11), a bending element (15), having one portion (17) which is free to oscillate and driving means for causing bending oscillations of the bending element (15). The liquid accelerating vessel (11) has an inlet opening (12) and an outlet opening (13). The nozzle (14) has a passage (22) which is in fluid communication with the interior (21) of the liquid accelerating vessel (11). The driving means comprise a piezoelectric transducer (18) which is directly mechanically connected with the portion (17) of the bending element (15), which portion (17) is free to oscillate.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a hearing aid comprising a shaped body that is adapted to an individual auditory canal. To this end, a casting cavity is created from a number of elements and this casting cavity is filled while inside the auditory canal. After the casting compound cures, said elements, with the exception of one, are removed and replaced by an electronics module (ora module having another function). The elements, which can be joined to one another by snap catches, consist of a central casting space element (1), an outer casting space element (2) and of a canal element (3). The central casting space element (1), which remains on the hearing aid, comprises an outer and an inner ring (1.2 and 1.3) as well as a tubular and extendible membrane (1.1), which extends between both rings and which radially delimits the casting cavity (5) with regard to the exterior. The outer casting space element (2) delimits the casting cavity on the outer face, is matched to the outer ring (1.
