A medical sensing system () includes an elongate interventional device () and an adjustable capacitance circuit (). The elongate interventional device () includes a sensor () having a capacitance (C). The elongate interventional device () also includes a first electrical conductor () and a second electrical conductor (). The first electrical conductor () and the second electrical conductor () are in electrical contact with the sensor () and extend along the elongate interventional device (). The elongate interventional device () also includes i) an electrically conductive shield () that overlaps the electrical conductors () and/or ii) an electrically conductive shaft (). The adjustable capacitance circuit () provides an adjustable capacitance (C, C) between at least one of the electrical conductors () and i) the electrically conductive shield () that overlaps the electrical conductors () and/or ii) the electrically conductive shaft ().

The present invention relates to a system SY for determining a position of an RF transponder circuit RTC respective an ultrasound emitter unit UEU. The RF transponder circuit RTC emits RF signals that are modulated based on received ultrasound signals that are emitted or reflected by the ultrasound emitter unit UEU. The position of the RF transponder circuit RTC respective the ultrasound emitter unit UEU is determined based on a time difference &#x394;T1 between the emission of an ultrasound signal by the ultrasound emitter unit UEU and the detection by the RF detector unit RFD of a corresponding modulation in the RF signal emitted or reflected by the RF transponder circuit (RTC).

The present invention relates to a VHH which binds to a growth factor or is an antagonist for a growth factor, or binds to an implant.

VHH for application in tissue repair, organ regeneration, organ replacement and tissue engineering

The invention relates to a method for generating a primary binary signal having a predetermined spectral shape in a predetermined frequency range, in particular having a notch in the power spectrum in a predetermined frequency range. In order to avoid crosstalk between a primary binary signal and a secondary binary signal it is proposed according to the invention that data-words are modulated into channel-words forming the channel bitstream of the primary binary signal and that the modulation of the data-words is chosen such that the predetermined spectral shape of the channel bitstream of the primary binary signal is achieved by using an evaluation criterion based on a spectral weight function the shape of which is tailored to the spectral extent of the channel bitstream of a secondary binary signal. The invention is in particular useful for generating a primary binary signal which is used in the lead-in area of an optical record carrier where a wobble is used in the secondary binary signal for storing a wobble key. The invention relates further to a device for generating the channel bitstream of a primary binary signal, to a primary binary signal and to a record carrier for storing such a binary signal.

An information system according to the invention comprises a record carrier and a playback apparatus. The record carrier has information marks along a track thereof and exhibits first variations caused by existence and nonexistence of the information marks along the track. The first variations represent an information signal recorded on said record carrier. The record carrier further exhibits second variations caused by variations associated with the information marks. The phase of the second variations is coupled to the phase of the first variations.
