The invention relates to a container (1) for a liquid medium (3), in particular a blood bag, comprising a flexible outer wall (5) and a device (13) connected to the container (1) for acquiring and/or storing data. According to the invention, the device (13) for acquiring and/or storing data is arranged within the flexible outer wall (5), wherein positioning means (15) are provided which hold the device (13) for acquiring and/or storing data in a floating manner in the liquid medium when the container (1) is filled with said liquid medium (3), and wherein the device (13) or the device (13) and the positioning means (15) are designed such that the mass of liquid medium (3) which is displaced in each case is essentially equal to the mass of the device (13) or to the mass of the device (13) and the positioning means (15).
The application relates to an electronic pill for dispensing a substance, in particular a drug, in a human or animal body in a controllable manner, said electronic pill having a housing (3) in which the substance (17) to be dispensed is accommodated and in which a dispensing opening (47) for dispensing the substance (17) is provided, wherein the substance (17) can be subjected to a predetermined pressure in order to be dispensed from the housing (3), having an electronic control unit (53, 59, 61, 63), and having a valve unit (33) which is arranged in the course of a dispensing path and can be moved from an open position to a closed position by the control unit (53, 59, 61, 63). In the housing (3), a throttle section (45) is provided in the course of the dispensing path for the substance (17) to be dispensed.
A method for determining properties of a pipeline includes feeding a sound wave signal at a predetermined feed point into the pipeline so that the sound wave signal propagates in an axial direction of the pipeline. The frequency spectrum of the transmitted sound wave signal has a frequency component or a spectral range with a maximum frequency that is smaller than the lower limit frequency for the first upper mode. Reflected portions of the transmitted sound wave signal are detected as received sound wave signal and are evaluated with regard to the transmitted sound wave signal to determine at least the distance of each reflection site from the feed point.
The invention relates to a method for determining properties of a pipeline, more particularly the position of a branch in a waste water pipeline, in which: a sound wave transmission signal (S, S') is fed into the pipeline (1) at a predetermined infeed point and propagates in the axial direction of the pipeline (1), wherein the frequency spectrum of the sound wave transmission signal (S, S') has a frequency component or a spectral range, the maximum frequency of which is lower than the lower limit frequency (fc) for the first upper mode; in which method components (Sr1, Sr2, Sr3, S'r1, S'r2, S'r3) of the sound wave transmission signal (S, S') reflected inside the pipeline (1) are detected as a sound wave reception signal (E, E'); and in which method, by evaluating the sound wave reception signal (E, E') in relation to the sound wave transmission signal (S, S'), the pipeline (1) is examined for the presence of reflection sites along the pipeline (1) that cause sound wave reflections (Sr1, Sr2, Sr3, S'r1, S'r2, S'r3), wherein at least the distance (I) of a reflection site from the infeed point is determined by evaluating the respective sound wave reception signal (E, E'). The invention further relates to a device for implementing said method.
The invention concerns a method for spectrum monitoring a given frequency band, in which the spectral power density (S(f)) within the given frequency band is determined for all noise and signal components in the frequency band and, in order to detect the presence of one or more signals within the given frequency band, it is evaluated whether the spectral power density (S(f)) exceeds a threshold value (&lgr;). According to the invention, the threshold value (&lgr;) is calculated in accordance with an estimation of a distribution density (hR(S)) for the noise component of the spectral power density (S(f)) within the given frequency band and in accordance with a predefined value for the false-alarm probability (Pfa).
The invention relates to a multi railed track vehicle, designed with a conducting connection of pairs of rails with a connection resistance reducing agent for reducing the connection resistance to the rail. According to the invention, the connection resistance reducing agent is designed to generate arcs between at least one rail and the track vehicle.
Oesophageal Electrode Probe and Device for Cardiological Treatment and/or Diagnosis (EP3706626A1)
(2020)
The invention relates to an oesophageal electrode probe (10) for bioimpedance measurement and/or for neurostimulation; a device (100) for transoesophageal cardiological treatment and/or cardiological diagnosis; and a method for the open-loop or closed-loop control of a cardiac catheter ablation device and/or a cardiac, circulatory and/or respiratory support device. The oesophageal electrode probe comprises a bioimpedance measuring device for measuring the bioimpedance of at least one part of the tissue surrounding the oesophageal electrode probe. The bioimpedance device comprises at least one first and one second electrode, wherein the at least one first electrode (12A) is arranged on a side (14) of the oesophageal electrode probe facing towards the heart and the at least one second electrode (12B) is arranged on a side (16) of the oesophageal electrode probe facing away from the heart. The device (100) comprises the oesophageal electrode probe (10) and a control and/or evaluation device (30), which is configured for receiving a first bioimpedance measurement signal from the at least one first electrode (12A) and a second bioimpedance measurement signal from the at least one second electrode (12B), and comparing same, and generating a control signal on the basis of the comparison. The control signal can be a signal for the open-loop or closed-loop control of a cardiac catheter ablation device and/or a cardiac, circulatory and/or respiratory support device.
