  • Patent number: 11999003
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode with a sonotrode surface, a lateral slide with a lateral slide surface, a touching element with a touching surface and an insertion chamber for inserting joining parts. The insertion chamber is defined in a first axial direction (y) on a first side by the sonotrode surface and in a second axial direction (x) on a second side by the lateral slide surface and on a third side opposing the second side by the touching surface. Furthermore, the ultrasonic welding device includes a first receiving element with a first stop edge and a second receiving element with a second stop edge. The first receiving element and the second receiving element are arranged to be movable in relation to each other between a starting position and an end position.

  • Patent number: 11980963
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode, an anvil, a touching element, a lateral slide, a stop element and a receiving chamber in which joining partners are received and which is defined by bordering components of the ultrasonic welding device. The receiving chamber is defined on a first side by the sonotrode and on a second side by the anvil. The receiving chamber is further defined on a third side by the touching element and on a fourth side by the lateral slide. The receiving chamber is further defined on a fifth side, extending transverse to the first to fourth sides, by the stop element. The first stop element is electrically conductive on its surface directed toward the receiving chamber in order to form a first electrode.

  • Patent number: 10123832
    Abstract: A surgical instrument for fixing bone fragments is provided. The surgical instrument comprises a positioning member with two pad holding portions, two pad members each having a bone contacting surface and each configured to be releasably held at one of the pad holding portions of the positioning member so that the bone contacting surfaces of the two pad members face each other, and two guiding channels configured to receive a flexible elongated member, each guiding channel being formed in a region between the bone contacting surface of one of the pad members and the associated pad holding portion.

  • Patent number: 6728347
    Abstract: The invention relates to a network station (1) comprising a selector switch (4) for coupling a switching center (2) to a POTS or ISDN telephone, and a detection circuit (3). After the detection circuit (3) has been made operative or after the mode change from the POTS mode to the ISDN mode, the detection circuit (3) controls the selector switch (4) such that this switch goes to the ISDN mode and thus couples the switching center (2) to an ISDN network terminator (11). When the ISDN mode is changed into the POTS mode, the selector switch (4) is actuated by the detection circuit (3) so that the switch couples the switching center (2) to the POTS telephone.
