Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coupling for transmitting forces, acting along a longitudinal axis, between two attachment components, having two coupling parts, which are disposed along the longitudinal axis and which each have a connection region and a coupler region, the connection regions of the two coupling parts facing towards each other, and the two coupler regions being connectable to a respective attachment component. The two connection regions are connected to each other via at least one loop packet, which transmits forces, acting along the longitudinal axis, between the coupling parts.

Abstract: A rehabilitation system for neurological disorders, especially for the rehabilitation of patients being in a vegetative state or minimal conscious state, comprises at least two sensors adapted to measure two different physiological values of the patient and a stimulation generator. Initially predefined target signals determined and based on parameters relating to the injury are generated and, during a rehabilitation session, compared with the measurement signals to drive the stimulation generators delivering sensory stimulation to the patient as feedback. The controlling processor is adapted to change the predefined target signals during a rehabilitation session based on the development or changes of the measurement signals of the different physiological values, to enable a faster and better improvement of the alertness of the patient.

Abstract: A switching device configurable as a grounding device, a disconnecting device, and a combined disconnecting/grounding device is disclosed. The switching device includes an encapsulating housing, a stationary grounding contact fixed to the housing, a stationary disconnector contact fixed to a first conductor, and a moveable contact that is movable along an axis and engagable with the grounding contact and the disconnector contact. A conductor tube is fixed to a second conductor and accommodates the moveable contact. A drive for driving the moveable contact has a retaining element that is movable along the axis and is guided in the conductor tube. The retaining element accommodates two contact tubes. A first contact tube forms a mating contact of a grounding device containing the stationary grounding contact. A second contact tube forms a mating contact of a disconnector containing the disconnector contact.

Abstract: The switching device contains an encapsulating housing (1) filled with insulating gas. A grounding contact (14) and a disconnector contact (15) are held in stationary fashion in the interior of the housing (1). In addition, a moveable contact element (9), which can be displaced along an axis (8) and can be brought into or out of engagement with at least one of the two contacts (14, 15), is arranged in the housing interior. A drive (13), which is guided through the wall of the housing (1) and can have force applied to it from the outside, acts on the moveable contact element (9). This drive (13) has a retaining element (12), which can be displaced along the axis (8) and is guided radially in the conductor tube (11). The moveable contact element (9) comprises at least one of two contact tubes (9?, 9?), which can preferably be detachably connected to the retaining element (12).
