Abstract:
The invention relates to a non-destructive and non-invasive method for determining the concentration or other parameters of constituent substances in fluids, which method is capable of minimizing the optical interfering influences, which are unknown but constant during the individual measurement, of the vessel wall on the measurement result or the evaluation, in that measurements are carried out with different through-radiation path lengths and quotient calculations eliminate the influences of the vessel wall. Wide-area illumination and detection ensure that non-linearities occurring during said measurements do not interfere with the accuracies of the determination.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical sensor device which measures in a spatially resolving manner. In order to devise such a sensor device with which a contacting measurement of the article to be measured can be carried out and which can be mass-produced, the sensor device is designed such that a transfer of the calibration onto individual sensor devices is possible with high accuracy. According to certain embodiments of the design of the sensor device and of the evaluation methods, interferences with the measurement of the amount of the target substance are minimized.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a method for the assessment of a great number of cells, in a measurement and evaluation process, under near-field optical conditions, with regard to the reaction state of molecular reactants. A sample stage is characterised, in that light sources with various aperture diameters, in the nano- or micro-range, are mounted therein. The 2D nano light source array is formed from a number of near-field light sources, arranged in a contiguous raster and consecutively, or simultaneously stimulated. A semiconductor material is used as support material.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Materialbearbeitung und ein zugehöriges Verfahren. Dabei werden ein Anregungslaserstrahl (310) und ein Bearbeitungslaserstrahl (210) auf ein transparentes Werkstück (120) gerichtet, wobei erst bei Überlappung der beiden Laserstrahlen eine bleibende Materialbearbeitung erfolgt. Die Vorrichtung (100) zur Materialbearbeitung, insbesondere zum Materialabtrag, Verschweißen oder zum Ändern von Materialeigenschaften transparenter Werkstücke (120) weist einen Bearbeitungslaser (200) auf, welcher im Betrieb einen Bearbeitungslaserstrahl (210) emittiert, wobei der Bearbeitungslaser mit einer ersten Positioniervorrichtung (140 150) verbunden ist, welche den Bearbeitungslaserstrahl im Betrieb mittels geeigneter Optiken (220, 230) relativ zu einem Werkstück (120) positioniert. Die Vorrichtung (100) zur Materialbearbeitung weist ferner einen Anregungslaser (300) auf, welcher im Betrieb einen Anregungslaserstrahl (310) emittiert, der alleine keine bleibende Materialveränderung bewirkt, wobei der Anregungslaser (300) mit einer zweiten Positioniervorrichtung (141, 151) verbunden ist, welche den Anregungslaserstrahl im Betrieb mittels geeigneter Optiken (320, 330) relativ zu einem Werkstück und dem Bearbeitungslaserstrahl in diesem Werkstück positioniert. Die erste Positioniervorrichtung (140, 150) und die zweite Positioniervorrichtung (141, 151) sind so ausgebildet, dass der Anregungslaserstrahl (310) im Betrieb ein definiertes Anregungsvolumen (340) induziert, in dem eine Materialbearbeitung des Werkstücks (120) mit dem Bearbeitungslaserstrahl (210) erfolgt.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (100) for carrying out radiotherapy on a limited target area of tissue (T), comprising a source of radiation (122), which is configured to emit ionizing radiation, and a deposit (112), which is located inside the target area of tissue (T) or adjacent thereto and which is configured for backscattering radiation. According to the invention, said deposit (112) contains a metal complex compound in a liquid solution or in an emulsion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a surgical instrument (10) for concurrently or intermittently emitting laser light and ultrasound which comprises a housing (12) and an acousto-optic waveguide (38). Said waveguide is arranged in the housing and exits through a distally configured opening of the housing (12). Laser light can be injected at the proximal end thereof. The instrument also comprises an ultrasonic transducer (18) which is situated inside the housing (12) and which is provided for generating an ultrasonic wave that propagates along the waveguide (38). The instrument is provided with an oscillating body (28 to 36) which is connected to the ultrasonic transducer (18) in a proximal manner, which is connected to the waveguide (38) in a distal manner, and which is provided for injecting the ultrasonic wave into the waveguide while matching the lateral expansion of the ultrasonic wave to the cross-section of the waveguide (38) and while amplifying the amplitude thereof. According to the invention, the oscillating body (28 to 36) has a boring which is at least configured on the distal end thereof and which is coaxial in relation to the acousto-optic waveguide (38). The acousto-optic waveguide (38) is fixed on the wall of said boring.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a laser therapy assembly (1) for the revascularization of muscular tissues (t), especially cardiac muscular tissues. Said assembly comprises a laser source (2) and an optical coupling unit (9, 11) for transmitting the laser beam (L) into the muscular muscle. It further comprises an ultrasound generator (6) connected to the optical coupling unit for a transfer of heat to the muscular tissue, which can be regulated independently from the laser beam with the purpose of producing a thermal effect that can be separately adjusted, especially a marginal thermal necrosis, in a channel generated in the muscular tissue.
