A blood withdrawal system for producing blood from a body part for diagnostic purposes, comprising a housing with a lancet guide capable of guiding a lancet on a predetermined puncturing path and a lancet drive for driving a puncturing movement of a lancet on the predetermined path. The lancet drive comprises a drive rotor driven by a drive spring and rotates about an axis during the puncturing movement, and a coupling mechanism which converts the rotational movement of the drive rotor into a puncturing movement, wherein the lancet is moved during a forward phase of the puncturing movement in the puncturing direction until its tip penetrates into the body part to create a wound and is retracted from the skin during a retraction phase of the puncturing movement. The coupling mechanism includes a translation element coupled to the lancet and guided by a guide on a movement path.

The invention relates to a hospital bed (1) with a support part (2) for a patient, said bed being provided with a moveable holder with a display (6) and/or with sensors (10 to 12) for recording measurement data.

By means of a connection (9) to a multimedia network, these values can be communicated from the hospital bed. An input device (16) can be used to record patient data directly at the hospital bed.

The present invention provides a tilt rotor aircraft having a centrally mounted tiltable engine and rotor assembly. A turbine or other type of engine (or engines) is pivotally mounted on a central frame above and between the pilot and co-pilot, who occupy separate and identical control cockpit pods on either side of the engine. Placing the engine between the pilot and copilot maintains the CG within a narrow band in both horizontal and vertical flight modes, simplifying control and handling. Counter-rotating propellers may be driven by the engine(s) to eliminate torque effects. By mounting the engine and rotor package between and above the pilot and copilot, the rotor can be made to clear the ground, allowing the aircraft to land like an ordinary fixed-wing aircraft without damaging the propellers. Thus, the craft can be launched and landed in VTOL, HTOL, or STOL configurations, depending upon conditions and available landing and takeoff sites.
