Abstract: A composite component having a piece of material which is elastic in particular and is composed of a foam material or an elastomer material or a silicone, where the piece of material is bonded, inextricably in particular, to a film sensor for measurement of one or more parameters, especially parameters of a human or animal body, having a piece of film with at least one electrical wire disposed on said piece of film, and having at least one measurement sensor which is preferably disposed on said piece of film and is connected to the electrical wire in an electrically conductive manner.

Abstract: A sensor unit for securing to a human or animal body, especially to the skin of the body, having a sensor portion that has a film sensor for measurement of one or more body parameters, having a piece of film that has at least one electrical wire disposed on said piece of film and having a measurement sensor that has electrically conductive connection to said wire and is preferably disposed on said piece of film, and having an electronics portion which is connected, preferably releasably, to said sensor portion and has an electronics unit for operation of said film sensor.

Abstract: A method for producing an implant, such as a stent, includes providing an implant blank, such as a stent preform, formed from a degradable material, preferably a magnesium alloy. Recess are introduced into the implant blank through laser beam ablation using laser radiation in the form of pulse bundles, each pulse bundle having at least two pulses.

Abstract: A method for adjusting an oscillation frequency of a sprung balance assembly, in which a removal or a displacement of material is conducted on a component of this sprung balance assembly under an effect of a pulse of a laser source to conduct a micromachining or microfusion operation on the material of this component to vaporize or displace this material. This pulse is controlled by a controller configured to generate, sequence, interrupt any pulse and to control movements of a beam of this laser source, and the controller is automatically controlled by a measuring or comparing mechanism.

Abstract: A method for adjusting oscillation frequency of a spring balance assembly. A removal and/or an addition and/or a displacement of material is/are conducted on a component of the assembly under effect of a pulse of a transformation mechanism to conduct a micromachining and/or microfusion operation on the material of the component or of an addition material to vaporize and/or displace and/or weld the material. The pulse is controlled by a controller configured to generate, sequence, interrupt any pulse and to control movements of a beam of the transformation mechanism, wherein the controller is connected to or automatically controlled by a measuring or comparing mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing flat, hydrophilic, aliphatic polyurethane foams. The invention also relates to a flat, hydrophilic, aliphatic polyurethane foam obtained according to said method and to the use thereof as a wound dressing, incontinence product or cosmetic article. According to the invention, a prepolymer-component and a carbonic acid or carboxylate component containing water is produced, said components are combined and mixed, and the obtained mixture is applied to a flat substrate as a layer which has an even thickness. Directly after application, a perforated separation element is applied in a flat manner to the layer. Said applied layer then expands with the applied perforated separation element to form the flat polyurethane foam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel optical function layer and its production, the function layer imparting to materials coated with it protection against uv radiation while transmitting electromagnetic radiation of larger wavelengths. The function layer of the invention and the manufacturing method of the invention offer advantages over the state of the art by allowing very accurate and precise adjustability in the uv range of the relatively sharp absorption constant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of novel aromatized chewing foams for the oral care sector based on polyurethane-polyureas and aromatizing compositions.

Abstract: A method of producing a welding seam with a single laser pulse, the laser pulse and the work piece being moved relative to each other at a high velocity. This results in the length of the welding seam formed being primarily the product of pulse duration of the laser pulse and the relative velocity of work piece and laser pulse. The invention also relates to a method in which the work piece moved at high velocity relative to the laser beam is subjected along the welding seam to be formed to repeated applications of a single laser pulse. In that case the length of the welding seam is defined principally of the product of pulse duration of the laser pulse and the relative velocity of the work piece and laser pulse divided by the number of applications.
