  • Publication number: 20220122399
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10437232
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for producing a padding for transporting general cargo in an outer packaging using a computer, a 3D scanner and/or a padding machine by obtaining 3D data of a 3D CAD model and material data for each item of cargo from a database and/or by three-dimensional scanning of the cargo with the 3D scanner, sorting the cargo on the basis of the 3D CAD data and the material data into an existing transport category or into a transport category that is created, grouping the items into a cargo group on the basis of the transport category and/or the general cargo ID, virtually arranging the cargo group in the outer packaging, selecting a 3D CAD model of a padding template based on the virtual arrangement, calculating a difference, a break and/or an association between the virtual arrangement of the cargo group in the selected 3D CAD model of the padding template and the 3D CAD model of the selected padding template, the 3D CAD model of the cargo and the coordinates and orientation of the

  • Publication number: 20110230961
    Abstract: 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.
