    摘要: A calibration sheet is located at a first position where its surface substantially corresponds to the expected position of a patient surface lying on a mechanical couch during treatment. Images of the calibration sheet are obtained and processed to ascertain relative locations and orientations of the image detectors obtaining the images and optical distortion parameters indicative of optical distortions present in the obtained images of the calibration sheet. The calibration sheet is then re-located to a known position relative to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus and images of the re-located calibration sheet are obtained and processed to determine a transform corresponding to the relocation of the calibration sheet from the first position to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus. Data indicative of optical distortions present in the images and data indicative of the locations and orientations of the image detectors relative to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus are stored.

    摘要: A winch system for controlling the elevation of an aerostats restrained by a cable is provided. The system includes a capstan arrangement configured for reducing the tension in a segment of a cable extending between an aerostats side and a drum side thereof; a spool drum configured for wrapping therearound a segment of the cable extending from the drum side of the capstan arrangement; a first drive mechanism configured to selectively activate the capstan arrangement in a released mode, in which the cable is let out towards the aerostats, and a pulling mode in which the cable is pulled in towards the spool drum; and a second drive mechanism configured to rotate the spool drum in the released mode and in the pulling mode such that the segment of the cable extending from the drum side of the capstan arrangement is pulled in a counter direction to the direction of the tension exerted on the cable.
