Abstract: A method and a device for locating a vehicle, able to estimate a first position of a vehicle from data that are generated by sensors of the vehicle and that are applied to a first particle filter, to store in memory, in a history, for a plurality of times, sensor data that led to the best estimations of a current position ti, to receive at the time tn a corrected GNSS position of the vehicle at a time t0, and to estimate using a second particle filter FP2 a corrected position of the vehicle at a time ti by applying the second particle filter FP2 to the received corrected GNSS position, to the data stored in memory in association with the time ti and to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle that are associated with the time ti?1.

Abstract: An endoscopic surgical instrument with an elongate shaft, a surgical tool arranged at a distal end of the shaft for conducting surgical manipulations and a handle arranged at a proximal end of the shaft for actuating the surgical tool. The shaft has an elongate shaft tube and an elongate actuation rod arranged movably within the shaft tube, the tool and the handle both being connected to the shaft tube and the actuating rod such that the tool can be actuated by the handle through a motion of the actuating rod relative to the shaft tube.
