Abstract: Systems and methods deploy an electrode structure in contact with the tissue region. The electrode structure carries a sensor at a known location on the electrode structure to monitor an operating condition. The systems and methods provide an interface, which generate an idealized image of the electrode structure and an indicator image to represent the monitored operating condition in a spatial position on the idealized image corresponding to the location of the sensor on the electrode structure. The interface displays a view image comprising the idealized image and indicator image. The systems and methods cause the electrode structure to apply energy to heat the tissue region while the view image is displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: An infusion bag made of a nonwoven textile fabric is described, which includes fibers and/or filaments made of at least one filter material, the textile fabric having a hot-sealable surface which is formed by hot-sealable fibers and/or filaments made of at least one hot-sealable material. It is provided according to the present invention that the fibers and/or filaments made of the filter material and the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material are present in the textile fabric in the form of a mixture, the proportion of the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material increasing over the cross section toward the hot-sealable surface of the textile fiber as a gradient. The infusion bag according to the present invention is characterized by excellent filtering properties, high visual transparency, and an excellent pop-up function and is manufacturable simply and economically as a single-layer product. It is particularly well-suited for use as a tea bag or a coffee pod.

Abstract: A coated article is provided that may be heat treated in certain example embodiments. A coating of the coated article includes zinc oxide inclusive layer(s) located under infrared (IR) reflecting layer(s) of a material such as silver. In certain example embodiments, coated articles are designed so as to realize higher visible transmission and/or lower sheet resistance values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drill comprising a cemented carbide or high speed steel substrate and a coating wherein the coating comprises: a first layer system having a multilayered structure covering substantially the whole active part of the drill, a second layer system having a multilayered structure covering only the tip area of the drill. Drills according to the present invention have good wear resistance and improved properties when reconditioning the drill. The present invention also relates to a method of making a drill according to the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for slicing food product blocks, having a machine frame, a product feed system with a cutting edge provided at the end and a s cutting head housing with a rotationally driven blade, which rotates in a cutting plane determined by the cutting edge and comprises a bearing arrangement, an adjusting means being provided, by means of which the position of the cutting circle of the blade is adjustable relative to the cutting edge within the cutting plane defined by the x- and y-coordinates and the cutting head housing is adjustable in the y-direction relative to the machine frame, said device displaying adjustment which adjusts the bearing arrangement of the blade in the x-direction relative to the cutting head housing.

Abstract: A modular cabinet structure, process, and system are provided, in which a modular cabinet structure comprises a structural frame comprising a first side and a second side, and a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the frame structure comprises a removable frame component at the second end; and a face assembly; wherein the face assembly is fixedly retained within the frame structure when the removable frame component is affixed to the frame structure; and wherein the face assembly is movable in relation the frame structure when the removable frame component is detached from the frame structure. In frame-style embodiments, the face assembly comprises a central panel having a front surface and a back surface, a retaining assembly attached to the back surface of the central panel, and a face frame having a front surface and a rear surface attached to the central panel.

Abstract: A watercraft includes at least two floating bodies; a drive device that drives the at least two floating bodies; and a control device that controls at least the drive device, wherein the at least two floating bodies are stacked, the at least two floating bodies are connected by at least one connecting device, at least one damping device is located between the at least two floating bodies, and an intermediate space between the at least two floating bodies is sealed by a sealing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a short-acting oral hypoglycemic agent and to a novel regimen in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in which the endogenous secretion of insulin is stimulated in connection with meals by administering in connection with the meals a short-acting oral hypoglycaemic agent. Also, the present invention relates to a method of achieving significantly improvement in the glycaemic control by a combined use of repaglinide and metformin in NIDDM patients poorly controlled on metformin alone.

Abstract: A helmet includes a shell with an impact resistant exterior surface formed by an upper shell and a rear shell. The upper shell is shaped to protect a top portion of a wearer's head, the rear shell shaped to protect an occipital portion of the wearer's head. A headset assembly, attached to the shell, includes dual ear cups rotatable about an axis that is above the wearer's ears when the helmet is worn. The ear cups have at least the following positions: an extended position to cover the wearer's ears, and a retracted position substantially abutting both upper and rear shell to the rear of the wearer's ears. The ear cups are shaped so that they form a surface substantially flush with the exterior surface while the ear cups are in the retracted position.

Abstract: A wire having a conductive core surrounded by an insulation sheath if fitted to an electrical connector having a housing formed with a passage receiving the wire and having an end region surrounding a stripped end of the wire where the conductor is exposed and an intermediate region surround an adjacent portion of the sheath of the wire. An element in the intermediate region fixed to the sheath secures the wire in the housing against any movement relative thereto.

Abstract: A ceramic pressure measurement cell for use in a sensor for static and/or dynamic monitoring of the pressure of a liquid or flowable medium which includes a base body and a membrane connected to the base body such that one side of the membrane is in contact with the medium to be monitored. The pressure measurement cell has high chemical resistance and high temperature resistance for a plurality of chemicals which is achieved by applying at least one plastic film on the side of the membrane in contact with the medium.
