摘要:
A system measures a change in position of a medical appliance, such as an endoscopy capsule. A device uses this measurement in order to influence the position of the medical appliance. The medical appliance sends a signal that is received by a multiplicity of spatially separate receiving devices. The time profile of the phase differences between the received signals and a reference signal provides an indication of whether the medical appliance has moved. In the event of a movement being detected, a maneuvering device can be regulated by a regulating means in such a way that the maneuvering device generates forces and/or torques and applies them to the medical appliance to counteract the detected movement.

A coil system for the contact-free magnetic navigation of a magnetic body with a magnetic dipole moment in a working chamber, a number of coils and a current control unit for controlling the respective currents in the multiple coils. The current control unit generates a force on the magnetic body in a predefined direction by setting the currents in the multiple coils so that the direction of the force generated by the currents on the magnetic body at each position among a number of positions in a volume in the working chamber essentially corresponds to the predefined direction of force. This coil system has the advantage that the position of the magnetic body in the working chamber does not need to be known exactly in order to move the body in a desired direction or to align the body in a desired orientation direction. This coil system suitable for use in a medical device and by special preference in a device for capsule endoscopy. In this situation, the magnetic body is a capsule that can be navigated in the body of a patient and has an imaging system for capturing images of the internal organs of the patient and a transmit module for sending the captured images to a receiver.

A magnetic body is displaceable in a contact-free manner in a working chamber by the use of a magnetic coil system composed of fourteen individually controllable coils. Three magnetic field components and five magnetic field gradients are produced. Apart from two individual coils in the coil system, the other coils, which may be saddle-shaped coils, are arranged on lateral tubular surfaces surrounding the working chamber.

A method is disclosed for determining the position and orientation of an endoscopy capsule guided through an examination object by using a navigating magnetic field generated by way of a navigation device. In the method, an X-ray machine is used to record radiation images in which the endoscopy capsule is shown. Further, the position and orientation of the endoscopy capsule are determined with the aid of the position-dependent and orientation-dependent image of the endoscopy capsule in the radiation images.

A permanent magnetic element is included in an endoscopy capsule that is magnetically navigable in a hollow organ. At least one physiological sensor, such as a conductivity sensor, is provided in a subregion of the surface. The physiological sensor may be have a lateral cylindrical surface and transmit a signal to the outside. The capsule may be set rotating by magnetic forces to enable 360 degrees of detection. Alternatively, the sensor can extend around the entire periphery of the capsule surface.

The invention relates to a method and a control device for operating a mill train for metal strip, which comprises at least one roll stand, the intrinsic flatness of the metal strip being determined at the discharge point of the mill train. In order to ensure in a reliable and sufficiently accurate manner that a required visible flatness of the rolled metal strip is kept within predefined limits, the bulging behavior of the metal strip is measured at the discharge point of the mill train and is translated into the intrinsic flatness of thermal strip by means of a bulging model. The visible flatness can thus be better regulated online along the entire mill train by using the bulging mode.

The invention relates to a method for controlling or regulating the temperature of a metal strip in a cooling path of a hot rolling system. A desired temperature gradient is compared to an actual temperature gradient in order to determine adjusting signals for the cooling path. At least one target function is formed for actuators of the cooling strip, taking into account auxiliary conditions, and said target function is solved as a quadratic optimization problem for the purpose of model predictive regulation. The invention also relates to an overlapping regulation for the finishing train and the cooling path of the hot rolling system.

A device is for introducing a stent into a hollow organ, in particular into the gastrointestinal tract of the body of a patient. The device includes a magnet system which covers the area of treatment of the patient and generates a 3D gradient field for remote-controlled movement and orientation of an endorobot. The endorobot is provided with a linear magnet and is freely movable in the hollow organ. Further, the stent, which can be uncoupled from the outside, is secured to the endorobot in a folded-down state so that it can be brought to the site of use and can there be opened out so as to bear firmly on the wall of the hollow organ.

Input variables, which describe a metal strip prior to and after the passage of a rolling frame, are fed to a material flow model. The material flow model determines online a rolling force progression in the direction of the width of the strip and fees said progression to a roller deformation model. The latter determines roller deformations from said progression and feeds them to a desired value calculator, which calculates the desired values for the controlling elements of profile and surface evenness using the calculated roller deformations and a contour progression on the runout side.
