  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE DISSOCIATION OF TISSUE
    Publication number: 20210140856
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue. In one embodiment, the device has at least one dissociation unit, for receiving a tissue sample, which is disposed at least partially in a pot-shaped cell strainer. In addition, the invention relates, in one embodiment, to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue, the tissue being dissociated by a grinder having mutually movable rows of teeth which cut the tissue when moving past each other in the one direction and grind the tissue when moving past each other in the opposite direction.

  • Sound transducer for insertion in an ear
    Patent number: 10206045
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sound transducer for producing sound vibrations, which can be inserted in an ear and can be used in particular for an implantable hearing aid. The sound transducer has at least one carrier layer and at least one piezoelectric layer, as a result of which a deflection via a bimorph principle is achieved, or a deflection can be detected by picking up a voltage.
