  • Publication number: 20230264988
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for membrane filtration and for the removal of micropollutants from liquids by way of a reactive substance, the device comprising a reaction chamber and at least one port for supplying and/or discharging the reactive substance to and/or from the reaction chamber, such that the micropollutants are able to react with the reactive substance in the reaction chamber and/or may be removed from a liquid, and the reaction chamber comprising a first membrane and a second membrane, the first membrane being designed as an inlet into the reaction chamber and the second membrane being designed as an outlet from the reaction chamber, such that the liquid to be treated is able to be filtered by the first membrane and to flow into the reaction chamber, the liquid treated with the reactive substance in the reaction chamber is able to be filtered by the second membrane and to flow out of the reaction chamber, and the outflow of treated liquid is substantially free from micropollutants.

  • Patent number: 8668729
    Abstract: A stent for implantation in a blood vessel is disclosed, especially in the region of the aortic arch. The stent is comprising rings which are disposed successively in the stent's longitudinal direction and which are made up of meandering circumferential supports. The stent further comprises a prosthesis material which is fixed to the rings and which connects them, thereby forming a hollow cylindrical body with a jacket which is substantially closed on the circumference thereof. At least one connecting support is provided between the last ring and the penultimate ring at the proximal end of the stent and connects these two rings to one another.

  • Patent number: 8431185
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surface textile structure comprising an arrangement of a plurality of conductive threads or threads exhibiting conductive properties. Insulating sections are arranged between the conductive threads or insulating threads are incorporated into the structure. The structure also comprises an inorganic electroluminescent material and electric connection elements. According to the invention, the electroluminescent material is incorporated into intermediate areas of the structure or is embodied inside the structure in the form of coated threads. The structure is also provided with a coating which is also selective made of a fluorescent material and/or optical brightening agents. The overall arrangement comprises a transparent, elastic, covering protective layer.
