The invention relates to a transducer device (100,200,300,400) for detecting an environmental state or a change in the environmental state, in particular for detecting an environmental state within a biological material. The transducer device (100,200,300,400) comprises a channel (2,22,51) comprising a fluid, a hydrogel material (1,21,51), which is adapted to change its volume when getting into contact with an environmental material and/or when detecting an environmental change, and which is mechanically coupled to the channel (2,22,51) such that the volume of the channel (2,22,51) changes when the volume of the hydrogel material (1,21,51) changes. The transducer device (100,200,300,400) further comprises a sensor (11,12,25,35), which is adapted to generate a signal upon detection of the change of a physical property of the fluid that is induced by the volume change of the channel (2,22,51). By applying the transducer device (100,200,300,400) according to the invention within a bodily lumen, an accurate monitoring of physiological parameters, for which the hydrogel material (1,21,51) is sensitive, within the bodily lumen is possible. It is also possible to apply the transducer device (100,200,300,400) outside of the bodily lumen, for example to monitor the blood of a patient outside the bodily lumen.

The present invention provides a device for controlled release of molecules. The device is particularly suitable for controlled release of therapeutic drugs to a patient. The device includes a housing with an opening for release of the molecules from the housing. The housing also comprises a reservoir for containing the molecules, in particular therapeutic drugs. The reservoir is arranged in the housing to allow release of the molecules through the opening. The device also comprises at least one thermoswitchable membrane and at least one heating element for at least partially heating the membrane. The device is configured for modulating the release of the molecules at the opening by heating the membrane, using the heating element. Optionally, the device further comprises a pressure element for providing pressurized release of the molecules from the device. In this way, the drug can be delivered to a patient in a pulsatile fashion. The present invention also provides a method for modulating the release of molecules, using such a device.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a component having a three-dimensional structure in a surface region, includes:—a step of forming a substantially solid layer (13) of material, which step comprises the steps of applying a substantially fluid composition over a surface, and—a step of removing an intermediate composition (12), impervious to at least a component of the substantially fluid composition and occupying at least part of the three-dimensional structure when the substantially fluid composition has at least partially set. The step of forming the substantially solid layer (13) of material is preceded by the steps of—providing a structure including recessed parts (5 to 7) on a surface of a substantially solid further layer (3), and—applying the intermediate composition (12) so as at least partially to fill at least the recessed parts (5 to 7) of the structure on the surface of the substantially solid further layer (3).
