Abstract: There is described a design element for a control panel of a device and further a device having a plurality of design elements that can be freely positioned on a control panel, and to a method for configuring such a device and a corresponding computer program. An aim is to provide a control panel which is extremely flexible in its handling. For this purpose, individual design elements are freely positioned on a control panel. Power supply and data transmission to a control module are carried out in a contactless manner. The design elements are preferably printed polymer electronic components having their own electronics.

Abstract: A portable personalized tracker card is provided. The tracker card may be a patient tracker card.

Abstract: The invention relates to device with electronic component which covers at least a part of a surface of the device. In order, even with large-scale mass production of a device, to allow the greatest possible individualization there is provision for the electronic component to feature both a number of switch elements and also a number of light elements for surface design. The light elements enable the appearance of the surface of the device to be designed in accordance with user wishes.

Abstract: What is described here is a device for dilating and restoring the lacrimal duct on the human eye, through which lacrimal fluid flows from the eye into the nasal cavity. The inventive device is provided with the follow components: a first hollow cannula with a distal end which presents at least one longitudinal gap, a guide passing through the first hollow cannula and having a distal end which dilates the distal end of the first cannula in the region of the gap, a hollow body surrounding the outside contour of the first hollow cannula in the distal zone, as well as a second hollow cannula adapted to be pushed over the first hollow cannula and extending up to the end on the proximal side of the hollow body, which is placed on the first hollow cannula so as to lock the latter and prevent it from axial sliding on the proximal side.
