An Implant for Supporting Soft Tissue
This patent describes a medical implant designed to support soft tissue, specifically to treat obstructive sleep apnea by preventing the collapse of the tongue into the airway during sleep. The implant features a distal anchor that can change from a collapsed to a deployed (expanded) state within the tissue, using an expandable balloon-like element. Once deployed, the anchor maintains its expanded shape to securely hold the tissue, while a flexible connection element attaches the anchor to a fixed point (such as the jaw bone). Optional switchable or elastic elements can further adjust the biasing force and tissue mobility, providing both stability and patient comfort.
Orthosis
This invention relates to a new type of orthosis (a medical device for supporting or correcting a body part), which uses a system of elastic linear retaining elements (such as elastomer bands) to provide adjustable forces and mobility between two fixation points on the body. Unlike traditional orthoses that are bulky and restrict access to the body, this design features lightweight, flexible, and easily adjustable components, allowing both the degree and direction of support or mobility to be customized for each patient and therapy stage. The orthosis also allows for convenient access to the underlying body region for diagnosis or treatment without needing full removal.
Device and Method for Detection of a Substance
This patent describes a device and method for detecting various substances—gaseous, liquid, or solid—within the insulating medium (such as oil) of high-voltage equipment like transformers or switches. The system uses an optical fiber (waveguide) placed inside the insulation, onto which a special coating made from a metal-organic framework (MOF) is applied. When target substances interact with this coating, they change the properties of light transmitted through the fiber, enabling sensitive and reliable detection and quantification by a connected evaluation unit.
