  • Publication number: 20240115230
    Abstract: A system is provided for determining the position of an interventional device inside a lumen. The interventional device comprises a distal portion inside the lumen and a proximal portion outside the lumen and the system comprises a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first estimated position of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen from a first system and receive an estimated displacement of the distal portion of the interventional device inside a lumen from a second system, wherein the estimated displacement is representative of the movement of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen. The processor is further configured to determine a second estimated position of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen based on the first estimated position and the estimated displacement.

  • Patent number: 8883545
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of solar panels which comprise solar cells connected to one another. In this case, various layers are stacked onto one another, such as a film layer, bonding agent, insulating film, solar cells and a support layer. Combining all these layers to form the final panel is carried out on a carrier which stabilizes and supports the stack while it is conveyed past the various treatment stations. The turning over of the stack can also be carried out in a reliable manner by means of such a carrier without shifts between the various components with respect to one another occurring.

  • Patent number: 7862844
    Abstract: The present invention in a first aspect relates to taste improvement of foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products, using extremely small amounts of a substance according to formula (I), or edible salts thereof: R1—CR2(OR3)—CO—X (I). It was found that at very low concentrations, substances represented by formula (I) are capable of modifying and complementing, the sensory impact of taste imparting substances. Thus, the present taste improving substances are advantageously applied in flavour compositions, foodstuffs, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products. Typical examples of taste improving substances according to the present invention include N-lactoyl GMP, N-lactoyl AMP, N-lactoyl CMP, N-lactoyl IMP, N-gluconyl GMP, N-gluconyl AMP, N-gluconyl CMP, N-gluconyl IMP, O-lactoyl-GMP, O-lactoyl AMP, O-lactoyl CMP, O-lactoyl IMP, O-gluconyl GMP, O-gluconyl AMP, O-gluconyl CMP and O-gluconyl IMP and mixtures thereof.

  • Patent number: 5735698
    Abstract: A connector for a circuit component comprises a rigid support frame having a central aperture into which the component may be placed, and spring means around the support and having a plurality of spring projections which project beyond the support frame for co-operation with perforations in a planar substrate, such as a PCB. The projections may have hook-shaped lower ends which locate against the underside of the PCB. A layer of anisotropically electrically conductive material is located between the component and the substrate. The connector and component together with the conductive layer in position form a substrate-mountable device.
