| 20100303198 | ARRANGEMENT FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRON BEAM TOMOGRAPHY - It is an object of the present invention to specify an arrangement for X-ray computed tomography, which allows continuous three-dimensional imaging of the examination object or a partial volume of the examination object at a high temporal and spatial resolution, wherein a high spatial resolution defines both a high resolution within the slice plane and also in the axial direction. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100218617 | METHOD FOR MEASURING FLOW RATES IN LIQUID MELTS - The invention relates to a method for measuring flow rates in liquid melts in a temperature range above 200 DEG C. using an ultrasonic generator and to an associated ultrasonic waveguide according to the ultrasonic Doppler method. The aim of the invention is to provide good signal incoupling and outcoupling. This is achieved by the preparation of the wettability of the end face of the ultrasonic waveguide before the measuring operation, subsequent direct incoupling of ultrasonic measuring signals into the melt at an angle that is not equal to 90 DEG, achieved by the immersion of the end face of the ultrasonic waveguide into the melt, outcoupling of the ultrasonic signals reflected in the melt via the end face of the ultrasonic waveguide and routing of said signals to an evaluation circuit. To prepare the wettability of the end face, the latter is mechanically and chemically cleaned and subsequently coated with a suitable material. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100218608 | ULTRASONIC SENSOR FOR MEASURING FLOW RATES IN LIQUID MELTS - The invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor for measuring flow rates in liquid melts at high temperatures. The aim of the invention is to provide an ultrasonic sensor for carrying out local, continuous, reliable rate measurements in hot melts. To achieve this, the ultrasonic sensor contains an ultrasonic waveguide that is connected to the piezoelectric transducer and consists of a material with low acoustic damping properties in a temperature range relevant for the area of application of above 200 DEG C, said material being chemically resistant to the melt. In addition, the end face of the ultrasonic waveguide facing the melt is closed and can be wetted by the melt. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100117664 | Grid Sensor - A grid sensor significantly reduces the complexity of a production process. The cost for installing and running the grid sensor are significantly reduced and the service life, pressure and heat resistance of the grid sensor can be significantly increased over previous grid sensors. Channels, which are wider than the diameter of the wire electrodes and have a depth of less than half the thickness of the sensor board, run outwardly from the edge of the measurement cross section in the sensor board. The channels are coated by a metal layer and the wire electrodes are inserted into the periphery of the measurement cross section. The two ends of the electrode, each in one of the opposite channels, and the electrodes are fixed in the channels by means of a conductive sealing compound. In each channel, the conductive sealing compound terminates in a planar fashion with the upper side of the sensor board, and the sensor board is clamped between two clamping plates. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100034341 | X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ARRANGEMENT - The aim of the invention is to produce an x-ray computed tomography arrangement in which there is no axial offset between the path of the focal spot and the x-ray detector arc. Said aim is achieved by: —arranging the x-ray detector arc and the target around the examination cross-section within a radiation plane such that the x-ray focal spots generated by the deflected electron beam of the electron beam generator lie within an axial plane, the radiation plane, along with the active detector elements; —disposing the x-ray detector arc behind the target in a radial direction such that each imaginary x-ray extending from a focal spot position on the target to a detector element of the x-ray detector arc penetrates the target, which lies in front of the point of incidence on the x-ray detector arc in the direction of radiation, in the area in which the target and the x-ray detector arc angularly overlap; —producing the target from a target member which is preferably made of a material that has a low atomic number and great heat storage capacity or thermal conductance; —applying an electron-decelerating material layer, preferably made of a refractory material that has a high atomic number, to the side of the target member which faces the electron beam. | 02-11-2010 |
