Abstract: The present invention refers to a blood pressure measuring system (10) configured to surround a patient's body part (E), comprising pressurization means (12, 14) for applying pressure to the body part (E), and comprising a kinking-proof shell (20; 30), wherein the kinking-proof shell (20; 30) is arranged so as to be located between the pressurization means (12, 14) and the body part (E), when the blood pressure measuring system (10) surrounds the body part (E). The present invention further refers to a method of applying a blood pressure measuring system (10).

Abstract: A thermoresistive gas sensor, e.g. for a flow sensor or a thermal conductivity detector, has a lattice with lattice webs, which consist of a semiconductor material arranged in the plane of the lattice in parallel next to one another, wherein the semiconductor material is formed on a plate-shaped semiconductor substrate that extends over a window-like cutout in the semiconductor substrate and forms the lattice, where the semiconductor layer is doped outside the cutout in areas of two ends of the lattice at least over the width of the lattice until it degenerates and/or bears metallizations, where the semiconductor layer further contains a separation structure insulating the two ends of the lattice from one another, in which the semiconductor material is removed or is not doped, and where the lattice webs extend in an S shape and are connected electrically in parallel to achieve a high measurement sensitivity and mechanical stability.

Abstract: In a process for assembling a microstructure (1), provision is made of a first microstructure piece (2) having a receiving recess (3) in its surface and a second microstructure piece (5) having a connecting region (6) fitting into the receiving recess (3) and on which is arranged at least one electrical contact element (7a, 7b). Provision is made of a flexible cable (8) having a flat substrate layer (9) made of an electrically insulating material and at least one strip conductor (10) arranged thereon. The cable (8) has at least one tongue (14a, 14b) on which is arranged at least one counter-contact element (11a, 11b) connected to the strip conductor (10). The cable (8) and the microstructure pieces (5) are positioned relative to each other in a preassembly position in which the connecting region (6) is opposite the receiving recess (3) and the tongue (14a, 14b) is aligned between the connecting region (6) and the receiving recess (3).

Abstract: A method for producing an electrical and mechanical connection, wherein a solid body comprises a support, on which is disposed an electrical contact zone and an electrically insulating support zone. A flexible, flat cable comprises a support layer made of an electrically insulating material and a strip conductor, with an electrical contacting point and a laterally adjacent insulating cable zone. An adhesive layer is applied on the cable and the contacting point is disposed on the support layer so that the adhesive layer surrounds the contacting point and adheres to the cable. The support and the cable are positioned in a pre-assembly position so that the contacting point of the cable is facing the contact zone of the support and the adhesive layer is facing the electrically insulating support zone. The solid body and the cable are positioned so that the contacting point electrically contacts the contact zone and the adhesive layer adheres to the surface of the solid body.
