Abstract: A steering device for a vehicle includes a steering rod and at least one drive unit, wherein the steering rod can be displaced along its longitudinal extent by the drive unit. The steering device also includes at least one first sensor device for determining a displacement position of the steering rod. The steering rod, as seen along its longitudinal extent, exhibits at least one change in its cross section, in particular diameter, wherein the first sensor device is designed to sense the change.

Abstract: An implant, in particular for the treatment and/or biological reconstruction of a bone defect, includes osteoconductive supporting bodies and a supporting sheath at least partially surrounding the osteoconductive supporting bodies. The sheath can be formed of a sheath material or can consist of a sheath material that is soluble in water or in water-containing liquids. A kit and method for the treatment and/or biological reconstruction of a bone defect can utilize a sheath for osteoconductive supporting bodies and a material for sheathing the osteoconductive supporting bodies.

Abstract: A steering sensor device for detecting at least one piece of steering information, particularly at least one steering angle, includes at least one holding body which is connected to a steering shaft for rotation therewith, in a mounted state, and at least one toothed rim that includes at least one toothing for detecting the steering information. The holding body and the toothed rim can be interconnected, in the mounted state, by means of a plug-in/rotative connection.

Abstract: A medical tube, especially for use in vacuum therapy, preferably endoluminal vacuum therapy, comprising at least one tube body and a flock material is described. A process for producing a medical tube comprises: coating the surface of at least one tube body with an adhesive at least partially, especially partially or completely, and flocking the adhesive-coated tube body with a flock material, while the adhesive is moist, adhesive or sticky, or after activating the adhesive. Alternatively, a process for producing a medical tube comprises: at least partial transformation of at least one tube body into an adhesive or sticky state and flocking of the at least partially adhesive or sticky tube body with a flock material. In addition, a drainage system, especially in the form of a kit is described.

Abstract: A flat implant, particularly a hernia mesh, has the form of a textile net having an opening and made from non-resorbable monofilament yarns. The net includes yarns of different thicknesses which run parallel to each other.

Abstract: A sensor device for measuring torque in steering systems of vehicles comprises a magnet that is disposed on a shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and a magnetic field sensor. The magnet is held by a magnet holder, which is to be connected to the shaft, wherein the magnet holder comprises a receiving region disposed at a radial distance from the shaft and the magnet is disposed on the inside of the receiving region facing the shaft.
