Patent number: 12142103Abstract: Embodiments of a method are disclosed. In the method, it is checked whether a person stayed in a building or part of the building for less or no longer than a predefined duration to perform an action and/or only stayed in a predefined region of a building or part of the building. The building is accessible via an entrance securable with respect to unauthorised entry. Also, embodiments of a method are disclosed in which it is checked whether a person stayed in the building for less or no longer than a predefined duration to perform an action. Embodiments of a method are also disclosed in which information to unlock or indicative of a successful unlocking of an entrance securable with respect to unauthorised entry is received, and one or a plurality of signals which allow a position in the building to be deduced are provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Deutsche Post AGInventors: Mareike Tietz, Christian Kasper, Frank Langer

Publication number: 20110230961Abstract: A system for treating a cardiac valve includes an adjustable annuloplasty ring configured to attach to or near a cardiac valve annulus. The system also includes a suture comprising a first end coupled to the annuloplasty ring. A second end of the suture is configured to be anchored to a papillary muscle. Selectively adjusting the annuloplasty ring adjusts a tension of the suture to reposition the papillary muscle.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2011Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: MICARDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Frank Langer, Hans-Joachim Schäfers, Samuel M.
