Abstract: A medical device includes an electrode shaft and an insulation tip. The electrode shaft is configured to deliver energy to a target site and includes an electrode shaft lumen configured to deliver fluid to the target site. The insulation tip is coupled to a distal tip of the electrode shaft. The insulation tip includes an insulation tip lumen fluidly connected to the electrode shaft lumen and configured to deliver fluid to the target site. The insulation tip covers an entirety of the distal tip of the electrode shaft.

Abstract: A laboratory sample distribution system is provided comprising a number of sample container carriers and a number of transport modules, wherein each transport module comprises: a transport surface, wherein the transport modules are arrangeable adjacent to one another in a row-direction and in a column-direction such that the transport surfaces of the transport modules together form a common transport surface, and controllable drive means being arranged below the transport surface and being adapted to move sample container carriers on top of the transport surface, wherein at least some transport modules of the number of transport modules are movable transport modules being adapted to be moved during operation of the laboratory sample distribution system such that a gap is formed between transport modules arranged in row-direction and/or column-direction or that a gap is closed between transport modules arranged in row-direction and/or column-direction.

Abstract: A display driving method, a display driving device and a display apparatus are provided. The method includes: reading a first check code in a first memory and a second check code in a second memory; and selectively performing one of step (a) and step (b): step (a): transmitting a second data code stored in the second memory to the first memory and storing the same in the first memory, and reading a first data code and/or the second data code stored in the first memory, when the first check code is not matched with the second check code; step (b): reading a first data code and/or a second data code stored in the first memory, when the first check code is matched with the second check code. The first memory is arranged on a control circuit board, and the second memory is arranged on a horizontal direction circuit board.

Abstract: A sample handling system for handling samples is disclosed. The sample handling system comprises sample holders, each receives a sample container; a sample transport device for moving the sample holders; a control unit for controlling functionality of the sample handling system, and a monitoring system for monitoring the samples during movement. The monitoring system comprises a camera module for continuously capturing images of a part of the sample transport device, wherein the camera module is at a distance from the sample transport device such that the camera module has a free field of view to the sample transport device, and a processor for processing the captured images and determining an item of information about the sample transport device and/or the sample container and/or the sample from the captured images. The control unit retrieves the item of information from the processor. The controlling is based on the retrieved item of information.

Abstract: The present subject matter describes a system for air supply in an imaging device. In an example implementation, the system includes a mounting assembly to house a fan of the imaging device. The mounting assembly has at least two outlets to discharge air blown by the fan. The system further includes a first air guide and a second air guide. The first air guide is coupled to one of the at least two outlets to supply air from the fan to internal electrical components of the imaging device to dissipate heat generated by the internal electrical components. The second air guide is coupled to the other of the at least two outlets to supply air from the fan to a media output region of the imaging device to dissipate moisture in air escaping from the imaging device at the media output region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of cancer therapy. Specifically, a chemotaxis fusion-receptor that directs bacteria towards tumors is disclosed. Further encompassed by the present invention is a bacterial cell that comprises at least one chemotaxis fusion-receptor and, preferably, a killing module for the destruction of tumor cells.
