Abstract:
The loading aid is fitted to pivot to the side on the loading ramp, and is formed in such a way that with the ramp open the loading aid's longitudinal edge lying opposite the loading ramp side edge lies on the ground over its whole length. The length of the loading aid's transverse edges is selected so that with the loading ramp open it includes with the ground an angle which is less than 90 degrees and preferably less than 45.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for placing a flexible jacket (3) on a section (5) of a natural vessel, especially a vein, a device for placing a flexible jacket (3) according to said method, and an auxiliary instrument (1) to be used in said method. The inventive method comprises the following steps: the jacket (3) is slid onto a tubular auxiliary application device (2); the section of the vessel is filled with a fluid; the filled section (5) of the vessel is inserted, particularly pulled, into the auxiliary application device (2), the section of the vessel being filled and being inserted into the auxiliary application device (2) with the aid of a tubular auxiliary instrument (1); and the auxiliary application device (2) and the tubular auxiliary instrument (1) are pulled apart while the section (5) of the vessel is pulled out of the auxiliary application device (2) and the jacket (3) is deposited on the surface of the section (5) of the vessel.
Abstract:
To reduce ionic contaminants on printed circuit boards that are at least partially covered with a solder resist mask and are provided with top layers on the copper structures, an aqueous cleaning solution is used, which contains at least one ethanolamine compound and/or the salt thereof, at least one alcoholic solvent and, at need, at least one guanidine compound and/or the salt thereof.
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to improve a bone mill (20) that is used for comminuting a grinding material in the form of bones or bone material in such a way that the grinding material can be comminuted in a simple and careful manner. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the bone mill (20) comprises a receiving chamber (112) for the grinding material, a comminuting device (26), and an advancing element (32) for moving the grinding material in the direction of the comminuting device (26) within the receiving chamber (112) while the receiving chamber (112) is provided with an outlet (113) which is covered at least in part by the comminuting device (26). Furthermore, the receiving chamber (112) is movable relative to the comminuting device (26).
Abstract:
Methods, kits and compositions are described that include a non-naturally occurring kallikrein inhibitor and an anti-thrombolytic agent, e.g., an anti-fibrinolytic agent, for preventing or reducing blood loss and/or ischemia, e.g., ischemia associated with perioperative blood loss and cerebral ischemia, the onset of systemic inflammatory response, and/or reperfusion injury, e.g., reperfusion injury associated with cerebral ischemia or a focal brain ischemia, e.g., in patients subjected to invasive surgical procedures, especially procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods are described for preventing or reducing ischemia, e.g., cerebral ischemia, and/or reperfusion injury, e.g., reperfusion injury associated with cerebral ischemia, in a patient by administering a kalliekrein inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring hemoglobin in a fluid sample. The device comprises a disposable electrochemical cell, such as a thin layer electrochemical cell 1, containing a reagent capable of being reduced by hemoglobin. A suitable fluid sample that may be analyzed according the present invention is whole blood. If the hemoglobin to be analyzed is present in red blood cells, a lysing agent may be added to the sample to release the hemoglobin prior to analysis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a nanostructured, in particular, ceramic-type functional coating (17) on a substrate (16). At least one plasma source (11, 12) generates a pulsed plasma (13, 14), by means of which a matrix phase (30) with at least one nanoscalar interstitial phase (31) embedded therein is deposited on the substrate (16), with the aid of the introduction of a material. Preferably, a plurality of temporally correlated or synchronised pulsed plasma sources (11, 12) is used. The invention also relates to a nanostructured functional coating (17), produced in particular according to said method, which is devoid of chlorine and/or sulphur and contains at least one metal and/or at least one element selected from the group comprising oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, helium, argon and neon.
Abstract:
Previous methods for the production of a hole in a component are very time-consuming and expensive, as special lasers having ultra short laser pulse lengths are used. The inventive method varies laser pulse lengths and ultra short laser pulse lengths are used exclusively in the region which is to be removed, wherein it is possible to have a noticeable influence on through flow and/or out-flow behaviour. This is, for example, the inner surface of a diffuser (13) of a hole which can be produced in a precise manner using ultra short laser pulse lengths.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for carrying out nondestructive testing of a gas turbine blade (1) during which corrosion areas (9), which are located near the surface and which consist of oxidized carbides or of base material that is sulfided near the surface, are determined by means of an eddy current measurement. As a result, the blades can be ground or sorted, in particular, before subjecting the gas turbine blades to a complicated cleaning and coating process.
