Apparatus for positioning the body of a patient in relation to equipment for contactless comminution of concrements such that the focal point of equipment is made to coincide with a concrement; the patient who lies on a rest which is moved with the patient on it in a longitudinal direction, tilted about it, and moved also laterally and in a direction that is transverse to the longitudinal and lateral directions of movement; a water filled cushion with controlled water level is adapted for interpositioning between the equipment for comminution and focusing, and the patient, a plurality of differently oriented X-ray beams are provided for locating a concrement in the patient and images are marked through a light pen or the like on X-ray monitors; a control provides for homing-in the rest in relation to the comminution equipment such that its focal point coincides with the concrement as previously detected.

Positioning a patient for lithotripsy

Disclosed is an adapter assembly for accurately positioning a removable biosensor implanted in the cranium or skull cap. The assembly comprises an outer sleeve member insertable into a hole bored through the skull cap and an inner sleeve member coaxial with the outer sleeve. The sleeve members are constructed so as to permit slidable insertion and removal of the biosensor and to ensure accurate, tilt-free alignment thereof, thus enabling precise, error-free measurement.

Adapter assembly for use with a cranial biosensor

The present invention provides a magnetic rotor bearing for suspending a rotor in a contact-free manner, in particular the rotor of an axial- or radial-centrifugal blood pump, comprising a permanent- and electromagnet arrangement which stabilizes the position of, and suspends the rotor in a stator, in particular a housing, and comprises a circuit arrangement connected to at least one position sensor or to the position sensor operating circuit thereof for the rotor. The rotor is suspended in the stator in a stable, contact-free manner by means of a permanent magnet arrangement except for a single geometric adjusting degree of freedom. The position of the rotor is stabilized only within the geometric adjusting degree of freedom not stabilized by the permanent magnet arrangement, by a permanent magnet arrangement located in the rotor and comprising at least one permanent magnet. The permanent magnet arrangement which co-operates with the electromagnet arrangement comprises at least one permanent magnet of the permanent magnet arrangement provided for suspending the rotor and consists in particular, of the permanent magnets of this permanent magnet arrangement positioned in the rotor. The circuit arrangement is a control circuit stabilizing the position of the rotor, during the absence of external forces, in a position of minimum energy requirement of the electromagnet arrangement.
