Abstract: An electrical machine including a stator, a rotor and a bearing arrangement having a first bearing and a second bearing on opposite sides of the stator as well as a shielding arrangement comprising a first shielding unit and a second shielding unit. The rotor is rotatably supported around a rotation axis by means of bearings. The shielding units are electrically conductive and comprise a ring part in each case that extends originating from a radial inner end to a radial outer end away from the rotation axis. Preferably each shielding unit has a circumferential part on its radial outer end that extends in a continuous ring-shaped manner around rotation axis and is arranged in overlapping manner with the adjacent axial end of stator winding in axial direction. The circumferential parts are preferably completely closed, whereas the ring parts can comprise through holes.

Abstract: A method and a device are used for determining a characteristic value for the perfusion of modified, in particular pigmented tissue regions in organs of living beings, for example the skin. By means of a laser flowmeter, a first volumetric flow rate and a second volumetric flow rate of the blood are determined at a first measurement point and at a second measurement point, respectively within the modified tissue region and within the surrounding, unmodified tissue region, in each case as a measurement profile of a volumetric flow rate signal as a function of time. A wavelet analysis of each of the measurement profiles is then carried out as a three-dimensional representation of the signal intensity over a frequency or scaling axis and time.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a vessel wall includes a rail and a carriage running on the rail. An inclining and swiveling telescoping arm has an end being pivotably connected to the carriage and a free end. The telescoping arm has curved members with U-shaped cross sections. A drive mechanism for extending and retracting the telescoping arm includes a pusher tube having tensile strength and resistance to compression for driving the members in common and a motor for driving the pusher tube. A test unit is carried by the free end of the telescoping arm and a data line is connected between the test unit and an evaluation unit.
