Abstract:
The invention relates to an application head (15) for dispensing a free-flowing medium. The application head (15) comprises an injection chamber (10) inside the application head (15) and an injection needle (11) movably mounted inside the injection chamber (10). An opening movement (P) of the injection needle (11) opens an outlet (12). A supply channel (13) and a supply line are also provided in order to introduce the free-flowing medium into the injection chamber (10). A drive (20) generates the opening movement (P) of the injection needle (11). The application head (15) also comprises a lever arm (30), the first end (31) of said arm being movably fixed to a rear end (14) of the injection needle (11) and the second end (32) thereof being connected to the drive. A membrane suspension (33) comprising a membrane (34) is provided, and the lever arm (30) extends through the membrane (34) of the membrane suspension (33). The membrane suspension (33) is used to movably connect the lever arm (30) to the application head (15), and as a seal to prevent the free-flowing medium from leaking out.

Abstract:
Disclosed are radiation treatment systems with enhanced control architectures that enable more complex treatment plans to be implemented, and radiation treatment systems with enhanced resistance to the effect of neutrons. An exemplary control architectures comprises: a digital packet network; a supervisor electrically coupled to the digital packet network and having a treatment plan; and a plurality of nodes, each node coupled to digital packet network and controlling one or more treatment-related components of the radiation treatment system; and wherein the supervisor periodically communicates control orders to the nodes over the digital packet network.

Abstract:
A machine and method is provided for applying a fluent adhesive or glue to a surface in two or more parallel strips at a adjustable distance apart. The machine has a plurality of glue nozzles mounted on a radius of a suspension device, which has an arcuate shape and is pivotable about the axis of the radius of the arc. The parallel adhesive strips are accomplished by applying the glue to the surface while moving the surface linearly past the nozzles. Adjustment of the distance apart is accomplished by rotation of the arc of the suspension device about its pivot axis by a swivelling means, which alters the angular distance between the nozzles relative to the direction of movement.
