  • Patent number: 11931242
    Abstract: A device for the preparation of a Descemet's membrane-endothelium graft includes a bowl with an inner bottom and a sidewall surrounding the bottom, particularly the bowl being configured to receive a fluid and a Descemet's membrane-endothelium graft or a donor cornea graft comprising a Descemet's membrane-endothelium graft floating in the fluid, a preparation area positioned in a first part of the inner bottom of the bowl, particularly for receiving and preparing the graft prior to transport, a transfer area positioned in a second part of the inner bottom between the preparation area and an outlet opening in the sidewall, particularly the opening being entirely positioned below the upper rim of the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 11803456
    Abstract: Methods and computing devices for allocating test pods to a distributed computing system for executing a test plan on a device-under-test (DUT). Each test pod may include a test microservice including one or more test steps and an event microservice specifying function relations between the test microservice and other test microservices. The test pods are allocated to different servers to perform a distributed execution of the test plan on the DUT through one or more test interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20220151766
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the transplantation of a Descemet's membrane-endothelium graft (5), comprising a longitudinal tube (1), the tube (1) having an inner cavity (2), an inlet opening (3) at its proximal end (PE) through which it is possible to introduce the graft (5) into the cavity (2), and an outlet opening (4) at its distal end (DE) through which it is possible to eject the graft (5) from the cavity (2), particularly into the anterior eye chamber of a patient, a guiding element (6) situated in the cavity (2) of the tube (1) extending from the proximal end area of the tube (1) or device towards the distal end area of the tube (1) or device and having an increasing cross section at least along a part of its extension, particularly by increasing the width of the guiding element (6) more than the height of the guiding element (6), wherein the guiding element (6) extending beyond the outlet opening (4) of the tube into the exterior environment of the tube (1), and having the distal end (6b) of

  • Patent number: 10874504
    Abstract: A device for the transplantation of a Descemet's membrane includes a longitudinal tube having an inner cavity, an inlet opening through which it is possible to introduce the Descemet's membrane into the device, and an outlet opening through which it is possible to eject the Descemet's membrane from the device, especially into the anterior eye chamber of a patient, wherein the device also includes, at least in the region of the outlet opening, a separation element which protrudes from the inner wall region of the tube into the cavity, especially a first separation element, the separation element dividing the cavity at least regionally, in particular dividing it in a region close to the separation element.
