Rottweil: New technology for vascular disease – Black Bote

Kreis Rottweil – On the monitor, the torso of a human revolves. Mouse click – the views of bone and arteries is free. A teenager at the computer? Not even close. Before the screens sitting Kai Mehlhase, chief physician at the Department of Vascular Surgery and Vascular Medicine in the Helios Clinic Rottweil.

What looks like a computer game , is the latest technology in the treatment of patients with vascular disease. The vascular specialist treated the Rottweiler hospital mainly diseases of the arteries. Calcifications, closures of receptacles, aneurysms, ie bulges on major arteries

” I want to spare the patient risk and large operations, wherever that is possible, “says Kai Mehlhase. Especially in the field of arterial vascular medicine have for some years very gentle techniques to offer the so-called intervention. The vessels of the patient as it were used as transport routes to bring so-called stents in place, small tubes of synthetic fibers which are reinforced by a metal grid.

63

images are two-dimensional

They support the artery from the inside and turn the aneurysm from it. For this purpose, only requires a small incision in the groin – a few years ago aneurysm patients were operated on with a long abdominal incision

But before the procedure is the planning.. The stent must not only fit exactly into the artery, he could block no inflows or outflows in internal organs. The planning is based on X-ray images from the CT scanner, CT shortly.

“This is extremely time consuming, because the shots that gives us the CT, are two-dimensional,” explains Mehlhase. Unlike the new software: you set the CT images into a three-dimensional model together, arteries and veins are clearly visible and can, thanks to innovative technology, are measured with a few clicks. Based on the measurements, the software proposes the appropriate stent

In addition to the time savings for the surgeon, this technology brings yet another decisive advantage:. Patients can be much better informed about the upcoming surgery. “It’s like your architect you instead of the normal construction plan on paper a 3-D model of their house to show” Kai Mehlhase describes the difference. For Marcel Koch, clinic manager, the six-figure investment is an important contribution to the issue of quality in medicine.

The Augsburger Kuka AG always recorded new sales and earnings records. The share price has gone through the roof and Chancellor Angela Merkel says from the company as the spearhead of German technology. What is yet to come?

Now, could Till Reuter, head of the robotics and automation company, sit back and enjoy the success. But these, the 47-year-old wants to know nothing. “We have big plans,” he says, looking at the under construction of the Group’s research and development center at the Augsburg headquarters.

The Augsburger apply here the world as pioneers for the circulation of industrial production. What sounds abstract, will probably be a blessing for Germany. Reuter can think about that a manufacturer of sports shoes, which still can now produce in China, the production partly moved back to Germany again.

How is this possible? Here changing consumer behavior comes into play. More and more customers want to assemble products on the Internet according to their tastes and then get delivered as quickly as possible. Who wants to, for example, buy running shoes with stripes in his favorite color, could design the product online. But that business model does not work with the production of goods in other continents. Until the shoe in Germany, pass around six weeks. As long as the container needs by ship and then truck or train, before it arrives in Bavaria. This is for Internet shoppers, who are used to be delivered the next day, out of the question.

“Industry 4.0″, thus linking the production with the data world, would make online shoe buyers to creative kings , So it is like to have heard Reuter, announced as Adidas Sales Director Roland Auschel that in some years produce robots in shops the company’s shoes to customers’ wishes. While the client is drinking a cappuccino, his dream shoe is made with about two and a bright yellow neon green stripes in the appropriate size in the store.

In Germany, a new stage of industrial revolution rocket is ignited.

New Technology: Samsung plans to double capacity of lithium-ion batteries – t3n Magazine

Previous Item Next article

Samsung researchers want to have found the solution of how the capacity can be doubled in lithium-ion batteries: silicon. They have to resort to a trick.



Samsung: Material decides on battery capacity

Researchers have been working hard to increase the capacity of batteries. In the field of lithium-ion batteries, like those used in some smartphones, tablets as well as electric cars, it has so far lacked According to experts, the right material, with the help of which the performance would significantly improve. Since developing the first lithium-ion batteries in the 1990s, the capacity had just doubled.

Researchers at the South Korean Samsung Group will now have found a solution to the problem, such as business reports Korea. You use instead of the graphite used to date a cathode made of silicon. Since this material, however, has a lower durability – the corresponding battery would not have as many charging cycles as previously survive – it

New Samsung battery was encased for protection with a graphene sheet ready for the market in two to three years.

This is the capacity of the batteries will be at least doubled, which should please annoyed Smartphone or electric car users. However, the batteries are not yet ready for the market with the new technology with silicon-Turbo, which will be the case only in two to three years.

Then you should forecast to even the greatly improved lithium-ion battery be in the market, have developed the researchers from Singapore. You have the graphite replaced by titanium dioxide and expect from the fact that the new battery can be 20 times faster upload and last 20 times longer than the current lithium-ion battery generation.

But once again remains the Conclusion: promises of faster loading and longer-lasting batteries, there has been over the past few weeks and months. A consequent real cordless Revolution is but so far failed to materialize.

The elevator button, safely cross a crosswalk or look in a museum images – these everyday things are possible for the blind. Peter Tucic is visually impaired since childhood – entering unknown rooms is difficult for him. But a new revolutionary technology now promises a remedy. “The BrainPort allows me much more aware of my surroundings – especially in combination with my auditory organ and the support from the walking stick. The technology has a lot of potential. “

The BrainPort V100 was developed over 12 years by the US National Eye Institute, the company Wicab and the University of Wisconsin. Its special function is to transmit images over the tongue to the brain. External impressions are captured on a video camera. These are then converted into electrical signals and distributed over more than 400 electrodes on a tongue leaflets. When electrical stimulation the information from there is finally transmitted to the brain – and created the idea of ​​a surface. The process can be controlled by a device – the device’s battery lasts three hours.

“The idea of ​​brainports is to replace defective sense,” says Michael Oberdorfer from the National Eye Institute. Man, it would allow the blind to develop the eyesight disorders and operate everyday activities and habits of safe and especially with better orientation. “In just the past decade, the technological evolution has made it possible that the BrainPort has become differentiated in its effectiveness both smaller and more compact than.” Is the task for the future is now, information that is obtained by BrainPort, make even more accessible, the neuroscientist Amiee Arnoldussen. The visual aid is currently still in the testing phase and still costs about 10,000 dollars. Can be in the future but climb mountains for the blind so it should be more than worth the money.
