  • Vehicle seat with arrester element
    Patent number: 9321380
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle seat with a floor component group and a seat frame which is fixed to the floor component group. The seat frame is connected to the floor component group via at least one coupling element and is arranged spaced apart from the floor component group essentially vertically to a longitudinal seat direction, wherein the coupling element is fixed to the seat frame on the one hand and to the floor component group on the other hand, and an arrester element is provided at the seat frame, which arrester element is formed and arranged in such a manner that the coupling element can make contact with the arrester element in case of a crash, and the arrester element then counteracts a deformation of the coupling element transversely to the longitudinal seat direction.

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMPLANTATION OF DEVICES INTO SOFT TISSUE
    Publication number: 20140213891
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for surgeon-assisted rapid surgical implantation of devices into soft tissue. The apparatus comprises several subsystems that enable the referencing of the spatial position and orientation of the device being implanted with respect to the soft tissue into which it is being implanted and then the controlled implantation of the device at a predefined speed with higher positional accuracy and precision and a reduction in soft tissue damage, provided by ultrasonic assisted motion, compared to current state-of-the-art implantation methods and devices.
