Abstract: A method to derive anatomical structures from non-invasive imaging technologies is provided. Non-invasive imaging technologies are computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), surface scans and others. Imaging data obtained by a non-invasive technology is used to create a surface contour. The imaging data is transmitted to a rapid prototyping apparatus as readable data. With this readable data the rapid prototyping apparatus establishes a positive or negative surface model, such as a fixation device, a mask, or a prosthesis, or other instruments for medical purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of materials sciences and medicine and relates to an agent, which can be used, for example, as a contrast medium for the localization of cancer cells. The object of the present invention is to disclose an agent which sensitively and selectively recognizes the site and the type of the molecules or cells to be examined. The object is attained through an agent composed at least of bio-shuttle molecules to which endohedral fullerenes are coupled by way of peptide-based molecules, wherein the endohedral fullerenes are hydrophobic and correspond to the formula A3-xMxZ@C2n in which x=0 to 3 and n?34, A means rare earths and/or transuranic elements, M means metals, Z means non-metals and C means carbon. The object is further attained through a method in which hydrophobic endohedral fullerenes are coupled with bio-shuttle molecules by way of an irreversible Diels-Alder reaction with an inverse electron demand (DARinv).

Abstract: A method to derive anatomical and/or pathological structures from non-invasive imaging technologies is provided. Non-invasive imaging technologies are computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), surface scans and others. Imaging data obtained by non-invasive technology is used to create a surface contour. The imaging data is transmitted to rapid prototyping apparatus readable data. At hand of this readable data the rapid prototyping apparatus establishes a positive or negative surface model, such as a fixation device, a mask or a prosthesis or other instruments for medical purposes.

Abstract: A switch cabinet with a mounting board wherein two guide rails extend parallel to the lower side members of the switch cabinet and the mounting board has guide blocks fitted to its lower edge mating with the guide rails. The mounting blocks have a recess in their bottom surface fitting over upwardly extending pegs fitted in the frame unit of the switch cabinet to secure the lower edge of the mounting board. Securement brackets are provided in the upper portion of the frame unit to securely fasten the upper edge of the mounting board when it is in position. The structure of this invention provides simpified installation of the mounting board within the switch cabinet providing positive guidance and securement of the lower edge of the mounting board as soon as it is properly inserted.
