Abstract: A catheter comprising a steering cable anchor, which is preferably disposed at the distal end of the catheter, and a steering cable. In order to obtain a reliable connection between the steering cable anchor and the steering cable, which is also suitable for use in MRI, a substantially dumbbell-shaped element is disposed between the steering cable anchor and the steering cable and connects the steering cable anchor to the steering cable.

Abstract: In a method for the space-saving arrangement of conductor tracks (5-8) on device components (12), in particular on the body parts of motor vehicles, an insulating base layer (2) is applied to a metallic device component (12). Subsequently, the conductor track material is applied in a number of parallel tracks and activated. Subsequently, an electrically insulating protective layer (3) is arranged on the conductor tracks (5-8).

Abstract: A distribution frame for film conductors is provided having a first busbar, arranged in a recess in a part-shell, for a first signal path and a second busbar, arranged in a recess in a part-shell, for a second signal path. Each busbar can be connected, via a bridging element, to two or more film conductors coupled to electrical components, the connection between a busbar and an electrical component can be released by moving the bridging element. The two part-shells abut against one another at an interface when the distribution frame is assembled. The film conductors of a signal path are routed through one or more ducts in a part-shell and are bent back at the end of the duct(s) such that the bent-back part of the film conductors is arranged in the region of the interface between the part-shells when the distribution frame is assembled.

Abstract: A device permitting simple and reliable extraction of an object with a longitudinal inner lumen from its anchoring in a body, e.g. a cardiac pacemaker cable having an electrode cable with a spiral coil, has an actuation device (20) and an anchoring part (4). By turning an actuation sleeve (22) of the actuation device (20), a tractive force is applied to a cable (8) resting in a tube (11) in such a way that it can be moved in its longitudinal direction. On the distal end of the cable (8), there is a tiltable anchoring part (4, 5) with a cross section in the form of a parallelogram.

Abstract: A central console for a motor vehicle, in particular for a passenger car, has prefabricated connections. At least one add-on part which is provided with optional additional devices and/or operating elements can be fitted on the prefabricated connections.
