Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for moving a manipulator in space along a predefinable movement path with a plurality of individual movements to be carried out one after another in a predefined order, wherein, during the movement of the manipulator along the movement path, during and/or after each individual movement carried out, a reverse movement path is determined, along which, from an intermediate position which the manipulator has reached during and/or after the individual movement carried out last, the manipulator can traverse the individual movements previously carried out, backward in each case and in an order opposite to the predefined order, and to an apparatus having manipulator.

Abstract: “The Fold Up Dormitory” is intended for use in situations where living and working quarters for a small or large number of people are required on short notice or irregular intervals. The apparatus is made of wood, steel and premanufactured hardware, and comprises components for sleeping, working and storage of small items. It is mobile, simple to operate and offers many options to those who use it. The apparatus comprises: a central core; a pair of folding frames, each pivotally connected to the central core on opposite sides thereof, for rotation about vertical frame-to-core axes of connection; a bed platform pivotally connected to a first side of the central core, for rotation about a horizontal bed-to-core axis of connection; a desk surface pivotally connected to a second side of the central core, for rotation about a horizontal desk-to-core axis of connection; and storage shelving within the central core.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radio device and method for transmitting radio signals including an electrical interface having at least one data terminal for connecting the radio device to an external data source, and comprising a transmitting device which is in communication with the at least one data terminal and which generates the radio signals with data signals of the external data source, transmitted via the at least one data terminal. The radio device exhibits an energy extraction device, the input of which is connected to the at least one data terminal and the output of which is connected to a power supply input of the transmitting device and which takes energy from the data signals of the external data source and feeds this energy at the power supply input into the transmitting device in order to operate it.

Abstract: A distraction osteogenesis fixture to be anchored in a bone, including a lower anchor, a translational screw, and an upper anchor. At least a portion of the lower anchor is externally threaded. At least a portion of the lower anchor includes an anti-rotational feature. The lower anchor includes an internal passage. At least a portion of the internal passage is threaded. At least a portion of the translational screw is externally threaded such that the translational screw is receivable by the threaded internal passage of the lower anchor. The upper anchor includes an internal passage for receiving a portion of the lower anchor and has an anti-rotational feature for engaging the anti-rotational feature of the lower anchor. The internal passage of the upper anchor includes a surface for engaging the translational screw. At least a portion of the upper anchor is externally threaded.

Abstract: An implant for providing an anchor in bone tissue. A retention portion for implanting into the bone tissue includes at least one retention member for retaining the implant in a preprepared hole in the bone tissue and includes an insertion end. An abutment portion extends from the retention portion opposite the insertion end and has a larger diameter than the retention portion. The abutment portion is for passing through soft tissue one the bone tissue. A stop portion extends from the abutment portion for contacting a member attached to the implant. An attachment groove includes an attachment surface for attaching at least one member connected to another structure. A top portion has a diameter greater than the attachment groove.
