Publication number: 20080163872Abstract: A device for furnishing a breathing gas at alternating pressure levels has a feeder to feed the breathing gas, a pressure adjusting device for triggering the feeder set-point breathing gas pressure signal, furnishes the breathing gas at a set-point, a pressure specification device for generating a pressure signal, and parameter-determination unit for furnishing parameters representative of at least of instantaneous pressure (p), progression of time (t), and instantaneous breathing gas flow (v). The pressure specification device includes a computer circuit configured such that, at least in the expiratory phase, pressure is adjusted on the basis of a dynamic or nonlinear pressure guidance function, which takes parameters into account that are indicative of the breathing gas flow and the progression of time. As a result, the tendency to lowering the breathing gas pressure in conjunction with the extent of the breathing gas flow decreases with increasing progression of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2006Publication date: July 10, 2008Applicant: MAP Medizin-Technologie GmbHInventors: Claus Negele, Knut Jochle, Rainer Jakobs

Publication number: 20040168397Abstract: The invention relates to a composite anchor, which consists of an anchor rod (1) anchorable by means of a compound mass in a hole (12) drilled in a building component (13), the anchor rod comprising several cone-like segments (3a, 3b, 3c) widening towards the insertion end (4) and spaced from one another by cylindrical portions (6a, 6b). The length of the cylindrical portions (6a, 6b) is 0.5 times to 2.0 times the length of the cone-like segment (3a, 3b) adjoining the respective portion in the direction of the insertion end (4). This produces a stable mortar shell (14) after the compound mass has hardened, which causes high withdrawal values as a consequence of the cone-like segments (3a, 3b, 3c) settling into the hardened mortar shell (14) following widening of the drilled hole as a result of cracks forming. The composite anchor is therefore especially suitable for anchoring in zones subject to tensile forces.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2003Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventors: Juergen Gruen, Rainer Jakob, Paul Steurer, Rainer Wohlgethan
