    Abstract: For exploiting novel use-cases, in particular sophisticated human-machine interaction, with an intraoral electronic tongue monitoring system designed to be worn by a user on the upper or lower jaw and featuring a support sheet bearing a number of intraoral sensors arranged in an array for recording tongue movement and/or tongue pressure, it is proposed that the system comprises at least one extraoral sensor located outside of the oral cavity delimited by the teeth when the system is in place, in particular such that extraoral and/or intraoral and/or interlabial movements of the tongue and/or lip pressure can be recorded with the system and/or such that the system may be used as an input device controlled through tongue movement using a human-machine-interface provided by the system.

    Abstract: Device and method for comminution or inactivation of circulating tumor cells (CTC) or tumor cell clusters (CTCC) from a tumor-affected organ or organ part, wherein it is proposed that in the venous drain of the tumor-affected organ or organ part a pump (2) with a pressure-increasing section and a pressure-reducing throttle (13) is arranged and is operated at the output side in its design point given by volumetric flow (Q) and pumping pressure (p) according to the volumetric flow and the blood pressure of the venous drain of the tumor-affected organ or organ part. Circulating tumor cells (CTC) and tumor cell clusters (CTCC) are thus comminuted and inactivated to thus reduce the risk of metastasis formation in cancerous diseases.

    Abstract: A method for providing sub-elements of a multipart implant or a multi-part osteosynthesis prior to introducing same into a human and/or animal body, involves: A) detecting data of a patient for whom the implant and/or the osteosynthesis is intended; B) generating a model using the detected data; C) generating manufacture specifications for at least two or more sub-elements which can be combined so as to form an implant and/or an osteosynthesis on the basis of the generated model, said manufacture specifications comprising C1) a dimensioning of the sub-elements; and D) manufacturing the sub-elements on the basis of the manufacture specifications. The sub-elements can be assembled together so as to form an implant or an osteosynthesis.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining a position and orientation of first and second rigid bodies in relation to each other. The apparatus includes a light source mounted to the first rigid body, an image sensor mounted to either the first or second rigid body and positioned in a field of light, a shadow mask mounted to either the first or second rigid body and arranged in the field of light, and a computation unit configured to calculate at least one angle by evaluating a shadow image which passes the shadow mask and is detected by the image sensor. The apparatus may include a mechanical constraint mounted to the first and second rigid bodies that defines a fixed distance between the first and second rigid bodies, is stationary in relation to one of the first or second rigid body, and is variably inclinable in relation to the other.

    Abstract: A medical endodevice (1) for an intervention inside a human or animal body comprises an elongated liaising structure (2) having a distal end arrangeable inside a body of the human or animal being and a proximal end arrangeable outside the body while the distal end is inside the body. The endodevice has an intervention tool arranged to manipulate a target tissue (51) inside the human or animal body. The intervention tool is arranged at the distal end (23) of the liaising structure (2). The endodevice (1) further comprises a positioning unit (3) having a moving formation (32) arranged to dislocate the intervention tool relative to the target tissue (51), and an anchoring formation arranged to fix the moving formation (32) to a fixing tissue (51) inside the human or animal body such that the target tissue (51) is positioned in a workspace of the intervention tool.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a surgical intervention to a bone (31) comprises: obtaining a three-dimensional image or multiplanar reconstruction of the bone (31), defining a position and an axis of intervention on the three-dimensional image or multi-planar reconstruction of the bone (31), and controlling the orientation of an intervention instrument (1) equipped with an orientation sensor (2) during the surgical intervention by evaluating a signal provided by the orientation sensor (2). The method further comprises referencing the intervention instrument (1) with respect to the bone (31) before the surgical intervention by arranging the intervention instrument (1) along an anatomic landmark (32) being an edge of the bone (31) and rotating the orientation sensor (2) into a predefined position, or by arranging the intervention instrument (1) essentially perpendicular to an anatomic landmark (32) being an essentially flat surface of the bone (31) and rotating the orientation sensor (2) into a predefined position. The method according to the invention allows for efficiently achieving correct orientation and position of the intervention instrument in a bone surgical intervention. Furthermore, the method according to the invention provides an efficient real-time control at comparably low efforts. Still further, with the method according to the invention radiation exposure to the operational staff as well as patients can be reduced.
