Patent number: 10966795Abstract: A holding clip is designed to be fixed in a holding contour of a housing part of a sterile container and/or to be removed from the holding contour without tools. The holding clip has at least one at least partly spring-elastic clamping section designed to provide a clamping force to secure the identifying element and at least two holding sections that adjoin the clamping section on both sides and that are designed to engage into an undercut of the holding contour in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. A sterile container can include such a holding clip.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: AESCULAP AGInventors: Gerold Zieris, Martina Höfler, Matthias Henke, Joachim Amann, Corvin Motz, Stephan Bauer, Sabrina Steiner, Johann Maliglowka, Bozica Frech, Michael Scheit

Patent number: 9789218Abstract: A phase change material is used for the production of a sterile state indication means for a sterilization container. A sterile state indication means for a sterilization container includes a fluid-tight case containing a phase change material. In this assembly, the case wall of the case includes at least one transparent zone and an activator which can be actuated in order to release an activation energy and/or crystallization seeds. The activator is in contact with the phase change material. Further, a sterilization container includes a container trough and a container lid, including a sterile state indication means. The sterile state indication means is provided either on the container trough or on the container lid, and the activator, in the closed state of the sterilization container, is in direct or indirect connection with the respectively other element among container trough and container lid.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Aesculap AGInventors: Corvin Motz, Gerold Zieris, Joachim Amann

Publication number: 20020198610Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for picking and placing small objects. It is equipped with a tool holder that can be positioned in an X-, Y- and Z-direction. A pickup tool is mounted to the tool holder and can be rotated about a vertical axis. A microscopic and a macroscopic camera with non-parallel axes are arranged on the tool holder for viewing the objects from above, and a lookup camera is provided to view the objects from below. The housing of the apparatus as well as a first movable frame are formed by perpendicular walls, which are light but provide stability for placing the tools accurately. An object dispenser is located below a transfer opening of a working platform of the apparatus for quick access to new objects. A control unit provides a graphical user interface for controlling the operation of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2002Publication date: December 26, 2002Applicant: Liconic AGInventors: Cosmas Malin, Joachim Amann
