  • Patent number: 10561046
    Abstract: A seal for an International Protection (IP)-sealing and electromagnetic capability (EMC)-shielding connection between a first housing component and a second housing component of an electrical or electronic device is disclosed. The seal includes an elastomer-containing sealing body and a metallic support that is embedded to some extent in the sealing body. The sealing body and the metallic support are connected to one another in an adhesive and/or form-fitting manner and thus form a material bond, and the metallic support has a plurality of contact segments, which project out of the sealing body and are configured such that the contact segments make electrical contact in resilient fashion with a first boundary surface that is assigned to the first housing component, and a second boundary surface that is assigned to the second housing component, the seal being pressed in between said boundary surfaces in an installed state.

  • Patent number: 6071312
    Abstract: An endoprosthesis in the form of a hip joint has a stem and a joint part. The stem has a first individual stem part and a second individual stem part, wherein the first individual stem part has a first end connected to the joint part and a second end facing the facing end of the second individual stem part. A connection element made of bioresorbable material connects the second end of the first individual stem part and the facing end of the second individual stem part. When the endoprosthesis is implanted, the connection element is gradually resorbed so that the first and second individual stem parts become mechanically decoupled and load is introduced into the bone only via the first individual stem part now ingrown into the bone.
