Abstract: A control device for controlling and/or regulating an injection flow rate, when injecting a fluid at an injection site between two tissue layers of the human eye with an injection flow rate that increases with time, is described, which comprises a controlling or regulating unit configured to control the injection flow rate in such a way that the injection flow rate increases during the injection for at least 30% of the injection time or during the injection of at least 30% of the injection volume.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for identifying a region (21) of a tumour (23) in a tissue-field image (27), which image shows a tissue region (25) having a tumour (23) and has been obtained by means of light reflected or emitted by the tissue region (25). In the method, the region (21) of the tumour (23) in the tissue-field image (27) is identified on the basis of a characteristic value for the intensity of at least one component of the light reflected or emitted by the tissue region (25). The characteristic value is determined using the intensity of the at least one component in an image detail of the tissue-field image (27), which image detail corresponds to a tissue portion (36, 36?) of the tissue region (25) at which at least one piece of histological information was obtained.

Abstract: A parameterization of a control algorithm of a surgical microscope is carried out on the basis of one or more context parameters of an operation. On the basis of the parameterization, the control algorithm then is applied to one or more state indicators associated with a first setting of the surgical microscope in order thus to obtain a second setting of the surgical microscope. By way of example, the parameterization can comprise one or more prioritization operations.

Abstract: A method of injecting ions into an ion storage device, comprising: providing an RF trapping field in the ion storage device that defines a trapping volume in the ion storage device by applying one or more RF voltages to one or more trapping electrodes; providing a gas in the trapping volume; injecting ions into the trapping volume through an aperture in an end electrode located at a first end of the ion storage device, the end electrode having a DC voltage applied thereto; reflecting the injected ions at a second end of the ion storage device, opposite to the first end, thereby returning the ions to the first end; and ramping the DC voltage applied to the end electrode during the period between injecting the ions through the aperture and the return of the ions to the first end, such that by the time the ions return to the first end for a first time a potential barrier is established by the ramped DC voltage that prevents returning ions from striking the end electrode.

Abstract: A control apparatus for an ophthalmic surgical system includes a receiver module which received a signal containing at least one geometric size of a pupil of an eye to be treated at least at a first time during a surgical procedure on the eye, at which fluid is supplied to and/or removed from the eye to be treated on the basis of set values of fluidic parameters of a fluidic apparatus. An evaluation unit allows the signal with the geometric sizes of the pupil to be compared to a geometric reference size of the pupil. An output module outputs an output signal of the evaluation unit, which contains information in respect of the geometric size of the pupil and/or information in respect of the above comparison to a control unit of the ophthalmic surgical system.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a TOF-MS mass spectrum, to account for temperature changes, is disclosed. Ions are introduced into a Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer and their mass to charge ratios are determined. Ions, including calibrant ions, are also introduced into a time of flight mass spectrometer and the mass to charge ratios of the calibrant ions at least are also determined. Specific peaks representative of calibrant ions are selected and matched between the TOF MS and FTMS spectra. The relative position of matched peaks in each spectrum is then used to determine a temperature correction factor for the TOF MS data, based upon the relative independence of the FTMS spectrum with respect to temperature.
