Abstract: The present invention is in the field of an improved device for assisting entry of a needle into a vein or a shunt using ultra-sound, also referred to as a vascoscope, a kit of parts comprising said vascoscope, and a method of entering a needle in a vein or shunt, comprising use of said vascoscope. The present vascoscope is especially suited for use in dialysis and is aimed at preventing damage such as in repetitive use applications.

Abstract: Robotic vehicle and use thereof for displacing a holder for goods, which is for instance loaded with goods, which vehicle can be operated in an empty position and a loaded position, comprising of (1) moving the robotic vehicle to a position under the holder in a first direction, wherein the robotic vehicle is in the empty position, wherein a holding means is countersunk in a body of the vehicle; (2) lifting the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle lifts the holder by performing a vertical movement of the holding means relative to the wheels of the vehicle, such that the holding means comes into contact with an underside of the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle transfers to the loaded position; (3) rotating driven wheels of the robotic vehicle from the first direction to the second direction without the body of the vehicle being rotated, and (4) displacing the robotic vehicle in the loaded position in a second direction, wherein the first and second direction enclose a mutual angle of between 60 and 120 degre

Abstract: A process and device for mounting a clamp-on flow rate measurement device on a measurement pipe using a mounting device having a holding strap with catches. The holding strap can be fastened on the measurement pipe by the holding strap being guided into and through the catch and tightened. A holder is attached to the holding strap to which the clamp-on flow rate measurement device can be fastened. First the mounting device is mounted on the measurement pipe, afterwards the clamp-on flow rate measurement device is attached to the holder without the holding strap being completely tensioned, so that the clamp-on flow rate measurement device is loosely held on the measurement pipe. Then, after aligning the clamp-on flow rate measurement device is, the clamp-on flow rate measurement device is completely attached to the holding means by further tensioning of the holding strap by lifting the catch off the measurement pipe.

Abstract: A clamp-on measurement device, for attachment to a support, with at least one instrument transformer, a retaining device for holding the instrument transformer and a fastening device (4) for attachment of the retaining means to the support. The retaining device can be attached to the fastening device (4) such that the retaining device can be moved in at least one predetermined direction away from or toward the support and can be pivoted along a pivot axis which runs preferably perpendicular to the predetermined direction. This results in the clamp-on measurement device, after attachment to a support, being easily disengaged from the support for maintenance and repair purposes and then can be reengaged with the support without losing its original alignment.
