| 20100189333 | METHOD AND BRANCHING DETERMINATION DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A BRANCHING POINT WITHIN A HOLLOW ORGAN - A method is disclosed for determining a branching point within a hollow organ in image data representing the spatial structure thereof. In at least one embodiment, the method includes setting a start point within the hollow organ; determining at least one local threshold which corresponds to the presence of a wall of the hollow organ; carrying out a region growing method using the threshold; analyzing the connectivity of a number of outer growth layers; and localizing a branching on the basis of the connectivity analysis. Moreover, at least one embodiment of the invention relates to a correspondingly designed branching determination unit. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110103667 | METHOD FOR HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL CHARACTERISTICS IN ANATOMICAL VOLUME RENDERINGS OF VESSEL STRUCTURES AND COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD - A method is disclosed for highlighting local characteristics in anatomical volume renderings of vessel structures and a computer system is disclosed for carrying out this method. In at least one embodiment of the method, the method includes determining or receiving a volume of interest; generating or receiving at least one first tomographic volume data record in the volume of interest, having a rendered display of a vessel structure; generating or receiving at least one second volume data record, which is used as a mask for the first volume data record and has at least one characteristic vector with a minimum data width of 2 bit for each voxel; accepting at least one characteristic definition for at least one predefined position or predefined region of the mask or the first volume data record, which is at the same position, and encoding the at least one characteristic definition in at least one characteristic vector of the mask; and combined rendering of the first volume data record and the mask, wherein the mask translucently marks a defined surrounding area of the predefined position as a function of the characteristic vectors present there. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110158495 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATED DETECTION OF THE CENTRAL LINE OF AT LEAST ONE PORTION OF A TUBULAR TISSUE STRUCTURE - A method and a device are disclosed for automated detection of at least one part of the central line of at least one portion of a tubular tissue structure. In at least one embodiment of the method, characteristic landmarks of the tubular tissue structure are detected in a 3D data record of the tubular tissue structure; the detected characteristic landmarks of the tubular tissue structure and landmarks of a model of landmarks, which model belongs to the tubular tissue structure and takes into account the position of the landmarks relative to one another, are related to one another such that at least one portion of the tubular tissue structure is identified in the 3D data record of the tubular tissue structure. The central line of the identified portion of the tubular tissue structure is determined at least in part on the basis of at least one detected characteristic landmark and/or at least one landmark of the model of landmarks. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100059324 | Coupling Arrangement, Particularly for a Hydrodynamic Coupling Device - A coupling arrangement, particularly for a hydrodynamic coupling device, including a first friction surface arrangement that is rotatable around an axis of rotation with a housing filled with fluid, a second friction surface arrangement, which is rotatable around the axis of rotation with a driven member, and a pressing arrangement that is actuated by pressure fluid. The first friction surface arrangement and the second friction surface arrangement are brought into frictional engagement by the pressing arrangement. The pressing arrangement includes an annular piston element that is movable in its radial inner area in a fluid-tight manner in direction of the axis of rotation on a guide disk element which is secured to an inner side of the housing. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100126304 | Seal for a Vessel Filled with Fluid - A seal for a fluid-fillable vessel of a gearing or motor is provided. The seal includes a first sealing body with a first inside sealing lip, with a first leg protruding from the sealing body, at the distal end of which there is arranged a second outer sealing lip which protrudes from the first leg. Reliable sealing can thus be achieved and apparent leakiness of a fluid vessel can be prevented at the same time. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20080243288 | Method for the Production of a Fancy Yarn - A method which improves the correspondence between the produced fancy yarn and the predetermined configuration of said fancy yarn. The fancy yarn is guided through a sensor device in a spinning device after it is formed and the diameter of the fancy yarn is continuously measured by the sensor device. The fancy configuration of the produced yarn is determined on the basis of the measured values of the diameter and is compared with the predetermined fancy configuration. The comparison is carried out until sufficient correspondence between the predetermined fancy configuration and the fancy configuration of the optimized, produced yarn is achieved. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20100329534 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE ACQUISITION OF X-RAY IMAGES FOR A THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - A method and an X-ray image acquisition system for the acquisition of X-ray images of a region of interest of an examination object from a multiplicity of angles of view for an 3-D image reconstruction are provided. The X-ray image acquisition system comprises an X-ray focus and an X-ray detector, which can be separately positioned and oriented relative to each other. The X-ray focus is moved along a combination of straight line segments and/or arc segments for the acquisition of X-ray images. The X-ray detector is oriented relative to the X-ray focus and moved in such a way that the region of interest is projected completely onto the X-ray detector upon each image acquisition. | 12-30-2010 |
