The invention relates to nanoparticles, the particle matrix of which is based on at least one protein in which at least one active agent is embedded, a method of production of the nanoparticles with at least one active agent embedded in t the protein matrix and the use of said nanoparticles for the treatment of tumours, in particular, for the treatment of tumours which are resistant to chemical medicaments.

Support element of a support construction having a load-bearing base element (5) on which the support element can be mounted, for a mattress, which support element comprises at least one spring element (4... 804) operatively connected to a damping element (1).

The present invention discloses a tactile sensor with a housing having a sensor unit comprising: a first layer with a first electrode, a second layer with a second electrode, a pressure sensitive material separating the first and second electrodes the middle layer. The tactile sensor has a housing in which a sensor unit is arranged. At least the first electrode is made of a conductive thread, and the sensor unit extends substantially in a longitudinal direction defined by the conductive thread. Furthermore, the first and second electrodes and the pressure-sensitive material define an active area of ​​the sensor unit, which is designed such that compression of the pressure-sensitive material in the active area results in a change in the electrical property between the first and second electrodes that can be detected by the evaluation unit. The housing comprises a main body designed to accommodate the sensor unit, a compression body designed to transmit mechanical forces applied thereon to the sensor unit, and a joint designed to couple the housing to the support. The housing with the main body, the compression body and the joint extends in the longitudinal direction and is integrally formed of elastic material.

The holding device (200) according to the invention has at least one rotatable first rocker arm element (330) mounted at a first rotational point (338). The rocker arm element (330) is connected to a spring element (300) which can be tensioned by means of a spring (320). Furthermore, the rocker arm element (330) has a first hook (332) which can be in a first position and a second position. In the first position, a first hook (332) of the rocker arm element can engage in a receptacle (135) of the counterpart element for holding, such as a counterpart hook (120) or groove. In the second position, the first hook (332) of the rocker arm element in turn releases the counterpart element such that the counterpart element can be removed from the holding device (200). The inventive feature of the configuration of the retaining device is that the first rotational point of the support of the rocker arm element (330) lies outside the axis of the spring (320). This particular arrangement of the spring element (300) with respect to a supported first rotational point of the rocker arm element (330) makes it possible for a change from the first position to the second position to generate a displacement of the spring axis (336) from one side of the rotational point to the other side of the rotational point by means of a rotation of the rocker arm element (330). Wherein a spring (320) of the spring element (300) can be tensioned in one position and substantially relaxed in the other position.
