  • Patent number: 7896913
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anchoring system for heart valve prostheses which can be implanted by introduction via the aorta without any major surgical operation. With the heart valve prosthesis according to the invention it shall be achieved that this can be safely and quickly guided through the aorta toward the heart, and can be fixed there. With this, hook-shaped elements are secured to the commissures of the heart valve prosthesis the hooks of which are guided in an outward direction through the heart valve prosthesis material.

  • Patent number: 6426860
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a device for holding a substrate in an exposure system. In the exposure system, the substrate is positioned on a table movable in the X and Y coordinates of an X, Y plane, and the exposure system provides a metering assembly between a table surface and the substrate to adjust the distance and to align the substrate in relation to an exposure optics, from where a corpuscular radiation is directed right-angled onto a substrate surface, corresponding to the Z coordinate. The device for holding the substrate includes two mounting plates aligned parallel to the X, Y plane, adjusted upon the table in a direction to the exposure optics and with different distances to the table surface, the first mounting plate of which being directly connected to the table.

  • Patent number: 4383771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic fluid bearing of rotation symmetric shape constituted of a bearing member and a counter-bearing member the faces of each being in opposition to the other one at a narrow space. One of the members is provided with fluid pockets of levelling off depth in reverse direction to the direction of rotation of the bearing member. Thus it is feasible to cope with considerable bearing loads over a wide range of rotational speeds.
