Abstract:
An multi-planar radiation emission system, preferably an X-ray biplanar transillumination system, for generating planar images of a subject from different perspectives includes a first X-ray source which emits first pulses of X-ray radiation toward a subject from a first direction at a first repetition rate, a first imaging device which detects the first pulses and generates a first image of the subject from a first perspective, a second X-ray source which emits second pulses of X-ray radiation toward the subject from a second direction at a second repetition rate which is different from the first repetition rate, wherein the first and second pulses are temporally interleaved and non-overlapping, and a second imaging device which detects the second pulses and generates a second image of the subject from a second perspective. The first and second images are preferably planar images which are "moving" images in the sense that information from successive pulses is used to periodically update the planar images on a display. The relative reduction of the pulse repetition rate of the pulses used to generate one of the two planar images advantageously reduces potentially harmful X-ray emissions and reduces the image processing required to generate the planar images without significantly sacrificing useful information, since one of the two images is generally referred to only occasionally to provide the observer with a three-dimensional perspective of the planar image of greater interest.
Abstract:
An electronic component having electrically conductive contacts and a printed circuit board enclosed by a sheathing made from a first plastic, and a method for manufacturing the electronic component. Such electronic components are used in oil pans of a transmission. The electrically conductive contacts are enclosed by a frame made from a second plastic. The first plastic is a duroplastic, and the second one is a thermoplastic. The thermoplastic does not represent a barrier to transmission oil. It is used for shaping the duroplastic, prepositioning the electrically conductive contacts, and preventing mechanical reworking of the duroplastic. No projections such as tabs or flash layers are created.
Abstract:
For the representation of images of regions selected from the interior of an examination subject, coils are provided for the application of a primary magnetic field and of magnetic gradient fields to the examination subject. An electrical conductor configuration detects the deflection of the atomic nuclei of the examination subject from their position of equilibrium as a result of high frequency magnetic excitation pulses. The configuration is formed by two interspersed individual conductor configurations adapted for respective different measurement frequencies. Each configuration comprises parallel conductors connected at their ends and arranged in spaced relation to an electrically grounded surface to form a transmission line configuration resonant at a respective one of the measurement frequencies.

An antenna device for coupling to a magnetic high-frequency field in apparatus for nuclear spin tomography, includes at least two conductor sections of predetermined length which extend on an imaginary cylinder surface parallel to the direction of the axis of the imaginary cylinder and are arranged for current flow in opposite directions when one end of each of the sections is connected to an external device, a tubular enclosure arranged at a predetermined distance concentrically with respect to the imaginary cylinder surface surrounding the conductor sections, the enclosure being at least largely permeable to low frequencies for magnetic gradient fields, containing electrically highly conductive material and adapted to be connected to the external device, the tubular enclosure extending in the axial direction beyond the end of the conductor sections by a predetermined amount so as to form a circular waveguide antenna with a periodic wave propagation, the coupling elements of which are the conductor sections, and reflectors terminating the other ends of the conductors to reflect waves of the high-frequency field so that a high-frequency field oscillating in phase is formed by the tubular enclosure and the conductor sections.
Abstract:
An antenna device for exciting a magnetic high-frequency field and/or for receiving corresponding high-frequency signals in a nuclear spin tomography apparatus contains a tubular antenna part which is designed to largely pass low frequencies, for magnetic gradient fields, consists of electrically highly conductive nonmagnetic material and has means for connecting to an external energy feeding or receiving device. In order to permit a simple design for this antenna device, only the tubular antenna part is provided as a circular waveguide for exciting or receiving the high frequency field. The circular waveguide is provided at least in the region of the cross-sectional plane extending through the center of its axial dimension with a system of coupling elements for coupling in or out the corresponding high-frequency power. In addition, further coupling systems may be provided in at least two cross-sectional planes symmetrical to the central cross-sectional plane.

Abstract:
In a system for controlling the motion of an industrial robot, a resultant translational velocity of a preselected point on the robot is calculated from a plurality of velocity values such as actual velocity values detected by sensors or target velocity values computed from a velocity reference value. Upon the exceeding of a predetermined maximum velocity by the calculated resultant velocity, all robot motion is terminated. Robot motion may also be stopped upon detecting an excessive difference between an actual angular velocity of one robot component and a respective desired or target angular velocity of that robot component, upon detecting an excessive translational acceleration of a predetermined point on the robot, or upon detecting a position of the robot part or point located more than a predetermined distance from a reference position.
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating a magnetic high-frequency field and/or for receiving corresponding high-frequency signals in nuclear spin resonance apparatus, particularly in medical technology, comprises a coil winding which can be arranged within an at least partially homogeneous magnetic field region of a magnetic field which is generated by a base field magnet and is oriented along an axis, at least in the vicinity of a body or body parts to be examined. This apparatus improves the ability to localize the atomic nuclei emitting the resonance signals. For this purpose, a high-frequency coil winding of substantially rectangular shape is provided, wherein at least two parallel longitudinal conductor sections of the winding are made substantially longer than the transverse conductor sections which connect them to each other and extend transversely. The longitudinal conductor sections are arranged at least largely perpendicularly to the orientation direction of the magnetic field of the base field magnet, and the transverse conductor sections are preferably spaced at a greater distance from the body to be examined than the longitudinal conductor sections.
Abstract:
Electrical connectors (40, 104) including contact terminals that can be unmated without previously disconnecting power include main contacts (12, 112) and auxiliary contacts (16, 130) that are shunted by a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor (6, 140) located between the main and auxiliary contact. The main contact (12, 112) will be disconnected first and the auxiliary contact (16, 130) can be longer than the main contact (12, 112). Arcing will not occur at the mating end of the main contact (12, 112), because the current will be shunted to the still connected longer auxiliary contact (16, 130). I2R heating will increase the resistance in the PTC resistor (6, 140), so when the auxiliary contact (16, 130) is disconnected, current will be below the arcing threshold. Multiple latches (54A,B) and (60A,B) or (180) and (196) permit only discontinuous mating and unmating or two state mating and unmating of electrical connectors, so that the connectors can be disconnected without arcing for a range of currents.
