摘要:
A heart support featuring a sheath sized to fit about at least a portion of an adult human heart in a living body and an expandable chamber disposed within the sheath so as to apply pressure against the heart when expanded. The expandable chamber is at least partially defined by a foldable chamber wall that folds with the chamber in a collapsed state, and unfolds as the chamber expands.

An apparatus for supplying a fuel cell in a fuel cell system with fuel gas is provided. The fuel cell system includes a mixing region, where unused fuel gas mixes with fresh fuel gas, a water precipitator, a device for the at least indirect heating of the supplied fresh fuel gas and at least one receptor for a sensor for sensing state variables and/or chemical magnitudes of the fuel gas flowing to the anode. The mixing region, water precipitator, device for the at least indirect heating and at least one sensor are combined in an integrated component part.

The present invention proposes a computerized method and means for providing an improved handling of messages directed to an user of an electronic messaging system.The suggested method comprises a first step of determining user characteristics capable of identifying the user as an addressee of a message.The method further comprises a second step of analyzing a certain message and determining its message characteristics exploiting the information contained in one or a multitude of message fields.The method finally comprises a third step of applying at least one deduction rule of a potential set of deduction rules to said certain message. The deduction rule assigns based on the user characteristics and the message characteristics a role of said user to said certain message. The role is capable of revealing said user's relationship to said certain message.

The present invention provides facilities for tagging files or data with attribute information in the form of a file tag (TAGINFO) which contains an identifier for text information (TEXTFLAG) and an attribute (COSID) for identifying encoding schemes. TXTFLAG is an auto conversion flag. Furthermore, a runtime attribute (process CCSLD) is assigned to a process specifying the runtime encoding scheme. A conversion is done automatically by an auto conversion function if both CCSIDs allow a conversion. Files having no file tag are tagged with a virtual file tag by means of an automatic tagging (AUTOTAG) function using heuristic rules for determining whether the data or file contains text or binary information. Old applications must work with untagged files as before. Existing applications should be able to benefit from auto conversion and thereby to be enabled to process new, tagged files without code changes.

摘要:
A cutting tool in the form of a drill bit or end-milling tool has an elongated body formed with at least one cutting edge defined by a flank of a flute running primarily along a rotation axis of the body and having leading and trailing flanks one of which is formed with wavelike and spaced projections and recesses. The depth of these grooves and, hence, the height of the projections increases toward the end cutting edge to break up chips.
摘要:
A tomography system with a beam source and a detector that is adapted to carry out a scan. While the beam source is guided along a circular or helical first trajectory about an orbital axis, a rectangular sensor surface of the detector is guided at a distance from the beam source along a circular or helical second trajectory about the orbital axis. During the scan, a yaw angle between a perpendicular bisector of the sensor surface and the plane of rotation in which the beam source is currently located has a value of greater than 0° and simultaneously smaller than 90°.

A method for reducing image artifacts caused, for example, by beam hardening includes acquiring at least two projections of a transirradiated object are acquired from different perspectives by an X-ray emitter and an X-ray detector defining a projection plane. A correction model that is linear in parameters and is valid for the at least two projections is determined. At least two epipolar lines corresponding to a common epipolar plane are identified in the projection planes of the at least two projections. The parameters of the correction model are determined by optimization, taking account of data terms that are independent of the parameters. The data terms quantify a consistency condition of the at least two projections that applies to the epipolar lines. Artifact-reduced image data is determined based on the determined parameters.

A method for reconstructing a three-dimensional image dataset from two-dimensional projection images includes recording the projection images using a collimator downstream of an X-ray source. A local Laplace filter is initially applied to the projection data of the projection images during the reconstruction using filtered back-projection. After this, high-frequency spikes arising in the Laplace-filtered projection data at boundaries to the image region are removed by a spike filter, and a global residual filter is applied. A fit parameter describing a fit function approximating the projection data characteristic in the uncorrected projection images inside the image region is determined based on at least marginal values of the projection data present at the boundaries. Next, following on from the use of the residual filter, an additive correction of the residual-filtered projection data in the image region is performed with the fit function scaled by a scaling factor.
