  • Patent number: 11680667
    Abstract: A ball joint having first and second articulated coupling parts having interconnected liquid ducts. The second coupling part is held pivotably by a spherical front end region between a shape-adapted joint socket on the first coupling part and a joint head on a holding element in the inner cavity of the second coupling part. The holding element interconnects the liquid ducts, and the second coupling part has, on its inner wall delimiting the inner cavity, an annular groove with a ring seal. A first annular shoulder is on the inner wall of the second coupling part, an annular insert part is insertable into the inner cavity of the second coupling part, and the insert part is spaced apart from the first annular shoulder such that the spacing between the first annular shoulder and the front edge of the insert part facing the first annular shoulder forms the annular groove.

  • Patent number: 10517752
    Abstract: An orthosis with at least one holding element for placing on a body part and securing the holding element with at least one securing member, with which two ends of the holding element bearing on the body part can be connected to each other with tensioning. The at least one holding element is designed without a stable shaped part and allows the bandage to be applied using one hand because the holding element has at least one elastic expansion part, which does not perform the function of a shaped part adapted to the body part and which pretensions the holding element in such a starting shape that the ends of the holding element jut out from the body part, and, with the securing member, the ends of the holding element can be applied to the body part counter to the pretensioning of the expansion part.

  • Patent number: 9589698
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conductive elastomer provided and formed from a base elastomer and conductive solid particles that are distributed therein. The conductive particles used are: a) platelet-shaped conductive particles and/or b) dendritic conductive particles and/or c) other elongated conductive particles with a length:width ratio of greater than or equal to two. It has been seen that a combination of ball-shaped and platelet-shaped conductive particles is particularly advantageous. The particles can additionally be aligned by the pouring, application using a doctor blade, or drawing of the dissolved or not-yet cured mixture. The polymer is particularly suitable for medical electrodes for capturing and emitting signals. The material rennulus elastic, and conductive when stretched or bent.

  • Patent number: 9310004
    Abstract: A water outlet fitting with a handleable water outlet (4) and with a flexible hose line (3) which can be connected to the water outlet (4) via a coupling (5). A characteristic feature of the water outlet fitting according to the invention is that the coupling (5), which is provided for connecting the water outlet (4) and hose line (3), has a ball-and-socket joint (7). The ball-and-socket joint (7) connected between the water outlet (4) and the hose line (3) not only increases the mobility and articulation between the water outlet (4) and the flexible hose line (3), but the ball-and-socket joint (7) also permits the water outlet (4) to be rotated relative to the hose line (3) without having to be concerned that the screw connection or similar coupling (5) provided between the water outlet (4) and hose line (3) will become undone.

  • Patent number: 9063789
    Abstract: Integrating data processing resources across a hybrid cloud includes providing a plug-in software component configured to be installed in a software framework. When the plug-in software component is activated, it may generate an interface for a consumer of data processing resources. Using this interface, the consumer of data processing resources may request the use of data processing resources provided as a service on the hybrid cloud. In response, the plug-in software component may acquire the requested data processing resources via interfaces provided by the various data processing resources. A number of different data processing resources may have different interface requirements. However, the first interface generated by the plug-in software component may provide a single vendor neutral interface for accessing data processing resources on the hybrid cloud by the consumer of data processing resources.
