20090207543 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAULT DETECTION AND HAZARD PREVENTION IN PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE AND OUTPUT CIRCUITS - A fault detection system comprises a photo voltaic (PV) source responsive to incident sunlight to generate output power along output conductors. Control circuitry monitors to PV source and disables output power from the source in response to detection of a fault condition. The PV source may be situated on the roof of a structure and includes an array of modules. One or more controllers monitors the output of the PV modules and a combiner is electrically connected to an output of each controller for combining DC output power from the modules into a combined PV source power output. The combiner is capable of disabling the PV source power output upon detection of a fault condition by any of the controllers, and an override switch is preferably displaced from the PV source at a remote location. Methods for detecting fault conditions in a PV system are also provided and may entail monitoring conditions associated with the PV source and comparing the conditions to a set of known fault conditions associated with the source such that output power can be disabled when a detected source condition corresponds to a known fault condition. | 08-20-2009 |

20130202172 | ALIGNMENT OF POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHS BY VIRTUAL TOMOGRAPHS - Positron emission tomography, possibly in combination with computed tomography, allows in addition to medical diagnostic imaging the quantitative determination of various parameters. Quantitative measurements using tomographs exhibit a severe and unavoidable dependency on the imaging properties of the respective tomograph, which makes quantitative assessment of the results difficult. This relates particularly to multicentric medical studies, which obligatorily require quantitative comparability of the data measured by the participating centers. The methods claimed herein include the definition of a virtual tomograph with defined imaging properties. The claimed methods also cover determination of the imaging properties of different tomographs on the basis of suitable reference measurements and possibly by using a calibration phantom. Based on the definition of the virtual tomograph and the determination of the imaging properties of different tomographs, the methods according to the invention then allow conversion and subsequently standardized and quantitatively comparable representation of the image data recorded by the different tomographs or systems as if all measurements were acquired equally by the virtual system. The method according to the invention therefore supports the quantitative evaluation of image data in multicentric studies. | 08-08-2013 |
