  • Patent number: 8188733
    Abstract: An arrangement and method recognizes and classifies preferably hidden objects in object and/or human traffic. Objects relevant to security are recognized, located and tracked through the surroundings thereof in moving object and human traffic isolated in real time. Use is made of a combination of a field generator, the field of which is modified by at least one corresponding object within the scanned space, first sensors which repeatedly record the changes in the field and provide corresponding signals, second sensors which record defined surroundings of the object in real-time with relation to the first sensors and provide corresponding signals and analytical means which correlate and collate the signals from the sensors with each other and which give from the same the shape, spatial position and/or spatial orientation of the object.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7497856
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the remote-controlled release of active ingredients which are located with a magnetic body in a cavity and which are released under the influence of heat. A substantially biocompatible device, which avoids unnecessary thermal and electromagnetic loads, is created by producing the heat required for releasing the active ingredients by rotating the body in the fluid.

  • Patent number: 5583690
    Abstract: In a Faraday microscope for examining specimens with stray magnetic fields in a reflected light beam path with a magnetic indicator film arranged in front of the specimen, the influence of the specimen on the indicator film is evaluated with the indicator film arranged as the termination of the microscope objective, the indicator film advantageously being arranged on an optically transparent substrate. The indicator film and substrate are taken into account in the optical calculation of the microscope objective.
