Abstract: A sensor integrated circuit includes a sensing element configured to generate a sensor output signal proportional to a sensed parameter, a front-end amplifier coupled to receive the sensor output signal and configured to generate an amplifier output signal, and a sigma-delta modulator coupled to receive the amplifier output signal and configured to generate a digital sensor output signal indicative of the sensed parameter. At least one of the front-end amplifier or the sigma-delta modulator has an adjustable setting configured to change a resolution of the digital sensor output signal.

Abstract: A method for evaluating image data of a patient showing a target region to be treated with an embolizing agent includes providing a three-dimensional time-resolved image data set of a vascular system portion of the patient. A structural parameter that describes a geometry of at least the vascular system portion and/or a basic information item including dynamic parameters that describe hemodynamics in the vascular system portion is established from the image data set by an analysis algorithm. An embolization information item describing a plurality of embolizing agents that are to be used is provided. An actuation information item describing a suitable composition of the plurality of embolizing agents, for an intervention facility used for carrying out the treatment is established by an establishing algorithm that uses the basic information item and the embolization information item, and the actuation information item is provided to the intervention facility.

Abstract: A method of producing a biodegradable cartridge having a predominantly elongated cylindrical shape having a cavity, including steps of providing a first element of a sheet form into a cylindrical form; providing a second element to the cavity of a first end of the cartridge, thereby closing the first end of the cartridge; providing another second element to the cavity of a second end of the cartridge, thereby closing the second end of the cartridge; providing a third element to the second end of the cartridge such that the periphery of the second end is larger than the periphery of the first end of the cartridge; wherein the first element, the second element and the third element are made of biodegradable materials, wherein the elements are configured for an air flow to flow from the first end to the second end of the elongated cylindrical shape cartridge, and/or vice versa.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for reducing the decibel levels of sound originated external to a sports protective helmet may minimize deleterious effects to the hearing of the individual wearing the sports protective helmet. Through use of a sound-deflecting apparatus that is coupled to an interior surface or to an exterior surface of the sports protective helmet proximate an ear hole, decibel volumes may be constructively reduced by deflecting high frequency sound waves while allowing low frequency sound waves to reach the ear or in vicinity of the ear of the wearer of the helmet.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing kidney injury through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: A separator plate arrangement for an electrochemical system, comprising a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet. The first metal sheet has a first circumferential sealing structure for sealing off an electrochemically active region, a first cutout arranged outside of the first circumferential sealing structure, and a first embossed structure arranged outside of the first circumferential sealing structure. The second metal sheet has a second circumferential sealing structure for sealing off an electrochemically active region, a second cutout arranged outside of the second circumferential sealing structure, and a second embossed structure arranged outside of the second circumferential sealing structure.
