Abstract

An endoscope system includes an endoscope (4) inserted into a working sleeve (2). A first fluid channel (20) is open to the distal end and is formed in the inside of the endoscope. An outer cross section of the endoscope and the inner cross section of the working sleeve are matched to one another. With the endoscope inserted into the working sleeve, in a first section (14) of its outer periphery, it bears on the inner periphery of the working sleeve. A second section (16) of its outer periphery is distanced to the inner periphery of the working sleeve. A free space (18) extends over an axial length (X) of the working sleeve and forms a second fluid channel which is open to the distal end and is formed between the inner periphery of the working sleeve and the second section of the outer periphery of the endoscope.

Abstract

A system provides in-situ surface processing of an engine blade within an aircraft engine. The system includes an endoscopic processing instrument with a variable-angle tubular shaft. The processing instrument is inserted radially through a lateral access opening into the aircraft engine in a non-angled initial configuration. The lateral access opening is downstream of the engine blade. The processing instrument has a rotatably driven tool holder at a distal end of the shaft for a surface processing tool head. In an angled working configuration, a tool head inserted into the tool holder is applied to a flow edge of the engine blade. Furthermore, a process uses the corresponding system.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for applying sound waves to an animal or human body. The device comprises a housing in which a fluid tank filled with a coupling fluid is formed. In the fluid tank, a sound wave source is arranged for generating sound waves that are coupled into the body via a coupling membrane. The fluid tank comprises a sound wave generation region in which the sound wave source is arranged, and a bubble retaining region, which is provided to retain gas bubbles. The bubble retaining region is partially spatially separated from the sound generation region by a partition wall, but there is also a fluid communication between the regions. The sound wave source is arranged in the bubble retaining region and in the coupling membrane and is oriented such that the sound waves are emitted in the direction of the coupling membrane.
