    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for compensation of three-dimensional movements of a target volume (1) during ion beam irradiation. For the purpose, the apparatus comprises a position location and tracking system (4) for detecting the movements and a depth modulator (6) for modifying the depth of penetration of the ion beam. For the purpose of compensation, the movements are divided vectorially into a transverse component and a longitudinal component. The transverse component is compensated from irradiation point to irradiation point using the raster scanning apparatus (3) and the longitudinal component is compensated from irradiation point to irradiation point using the depth modulator (6) by means of the fact that, in addition to the change in the location of the target volume, the change in the structure of healthy tissue covering the target volume is, in the preliminaries to irradiation, detected and modelled and stored in the form of a look-up table in a memory of a movement measurement, control and read-out module SAMB and compared with the actual values during irradiation.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the feedback control of a grid scanner in ion therapy. An apparatus of that kind for the feedback control of a grid scanner has scanner magnet current supply devices for ion beam scanner magnets that deflect horizontally and vertically with respect to the middle of the ion beam, the supply devices being controlled by control and read-out modules for the scanner magnets. Furthermore, the apparatus has a location-sensitive detector for location measurement, which is controlled by means of a control and read-out module. A sequence control device controls the activation and read-out sequence among the devices of the apparatus, the apparatus also having in the sequence control device a circuit arrangement having a feedback loop between the control and read-out modules for the scanner magnets and the control and read-out module of the location-sensitive detector. For that, the control and read-out modules for the scanner magnets and the control and read-out module of the location-sensitive detector in the sequence control device are technically so arranged, in circuitry and sequence, that the control and read-out modules for the scanner magnets are arranged serially after the control and read-out module of the location-sensitive detector.

    摘要: There is described a method for monitoring the functionality of an automation system of a plant comprising at least one main processor, parts of the plant being monitored and controlled using a user software, which is constructed of a number of program modules and which is run on the main processor. A co-processor is assigned to the main processor, and a message is transmitted from the main processor to the co-processor. When received, this message is used by the co-processor to start a monitoring time. When a subsequent message is received, this monitoring time is reset before said monitoring time has elapsed, otherwise a fault is identified once the monitoring time has elapsed.
