  • Patent number: 11931714
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a substrate having a recess and a multitude of particles arranged in the recess. A first portion of the particles is joined to a porous structure by means of a coating. A second portion of the particles is not joined by means of the coating. The first portion of the particles is arranged closer to an opening of the recess than the second portion of the particles so that a leaking of the second portion of the particles from the recess through the opening is prevented.

  • Patent number: 11044831
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical enclosure arrangement comprising an electrical enclosure line and a cooling device connected into the line. The electrical enclosure line is formed from multiple electrical enclosures which are connected together. The invention is characterized in that the cooling device suctions hot air out of the electrical enclosures via two opposite faces, each of the faces of the cooling device adjoining a respective electrical enclosure, and blows the air back into the electrical enclosures as cooled air. At least one busbar is guided through a busbar transfer area of the cooling device between the electrical enclosures adjoining the cooling device.

  • Publication number: 20210145278
    Abstract: The proposed combination device combines any tonometric metrology with a drug application to administer glaucoma medication on an eye. Several technical concepts are proposed and exemplary embodiments for rebound tonometry and air-puff tonometry are shown. However other methods such as optical coherence elastography (OCE) could also be used. The Solutions provide home care tonometry offerings which host the capability to administer glaucoma medication.
