Abstract: To enhance safety of interventional procedures, a method for monitoring an interventional procedure that is carried out using an artificial object, such as a catheter, is provided. At least one image of the interventional procedure is acquired. The at least one image is analyzed automatically with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry and/or a time-dependent movement parameter and/or a flow behavior of the artificial object. A complication signal is automatically generated only if the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image.

Abstract: A saw gear set comprising a set of saw blades and a saw drive (1), wherein each saw blade of the set is configured to be coupled to the saw drive (1) by means of a coupling mechanism (100), which coupling mechanism (100) is configured to transmit a driving force of the saw drive (1) to the saw blade in a force transmission point, for oscillating the saw blade around a pivot axis (300). Each saw blade of the set is configured to be pivotably borne around the pivot axis (300). In operation, an oscillation angle (?) around the pivot axis (300) is different for each saw blade of the set depending on a pivot distance between the pivot axis (300) and the force transmission point which varies for each saw blade of the set.

Abstract: A vehicle includes sensors that monitor at least part of the outer shell of the vehicle. The sensors have monitoring sensors for detecting vandalism. The vehicle has a monitoring system using the monitoring sensors and the monitoring system includes monitoring sensor electronics which are set up to operate the monitoring sensors at least also in the parked state of the vehicle. The vehicle includes automatically closing doors and the sensors have operating sensors for detecting the position of passengers as well as an entry system using the operating sensors, which serves to detect the position of passengers, in order to prevent a jamming of passengers during the automatic closing of the doors. At least one sensor is configured both as an operating sensor and a monitoring sensor and is used both by the monitoring system and also by the entry system.

Abstract: In the heating device, PTC heating elements arranged between current rails lying opposite each other are used, which are fed with supply current from a control electronics unit via the current rails. Metallic heating rib structures are respectively coupled to one of the current rails via an electrically insulating but thermally conducting coupling layer. The air to be heated flows through the heating rib structures which have an undulating shape. The metallic heating rib structures are electrically connected to vehicle ground and thus form a shield that eliminates emissions of electromagnetic interfering radiation without impeding the flow of air.
