Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaluating usage data of at least one orthopaedic device which is equipped with sensors for detecting properties, states, or changes in properties or states, wherein the sensors are connected to a transmitter directly or via a storage device and the transmitter transmits the sensor data provided by the sensors to an evaluation unit in a computer network in which the sensor data is processed.

Abstract: A method includes fixing at least one sensor to a body part of a person, sending signals, with the at least one sensor, to an electronic data processing device, the signals containing measurement data and an individual sensor identifier, and determining, with the electronic data processing device, the body part on which the sensor is arranged or is to be arranged, and allocating the measurement data of the at least one sensor to the body part.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a ceramic particle comprising a ceramic core substrate and a conformal coating of a sintering aid film on a surface of the core substrate, wherein the conformal coating includes a plurality of distributed islands of the sintering aid film across the surface of the core substrate; methods for producing the ceramic particle by ALD or MLD; and methods of using the coated ceramic particles in additive manufacturing or in solid oxide fuel cells. In one example, the film may have a thickness of less than three nanometers. The disclosed ceramic particle may be non-reactive with water.
