20080246372Device and Method for Influencing Vibration of a Planar Element - The invention is a device for influencing the vibration of a planar element having two opposite surfaces and a neutral fiber plane running between the two surfaces including at least one actuator and at least one sensor which each are provided with transducer materials and are connected to at least one electronic component or an electronic module. The at least one actuator and at least one sensor are completely integrated in the planar element to be spaced from the two surfaces as well as from the neutral fiber plane.10-09-2008
20090127975Method and device for eliminating vibrations of a mechanical structure - The invention describes a device as well as a method for eliminating vibrations of a mechanical structure with at least one electromechanical converter material that is actively connected to the mechanical structure and connected to an electric circuit arrangement with at least one electrical impedance. The invention is characterized in that the electric circuit is connected to an interface, via which the at least one electrical impedance can be variably adjusted by means of wireless or wired communication with a control unit that is separated from the electronic circuit arrangement, and in that the electrical impedance features at least one ohmic resistor and/or one inductive resistor and/or one capacitor that are respectively realized variably.05-21-2009
20090206532Oscillation Decoupling Device - What is described is an oscillation decoupling device with a load-receiving element which is mounted in an oscillating manner relative to a support unit at least along an active direction along which at least part of the load is applied, and with at least one sensor-actuator unit which detects an oscillation of the element due to the load and acts against the oscillation of the element by means of actuators.08-20-2009
20100101906DEVICE FOR DAMPING VIBRATIONS - A device is described for vibration damping, which is attachable on a mechanical structure or integratable therein, having at least one mass which is indirectly or directly operationally linked to the structure via elastic means, referred to as the so-called damper mass, and at least one actuator for changing a stiffness which can be associated with the elastic means. The invention provides an electrical power source, which is capable of generating electrical power exclusively using an oscillating relative movement resulting along the operational link between the damper mass and the structure, and a regulating unit, which is connected to the electrical power source, which activates the at least one actuator as a function of the vibration behavior of the structure based upon a vibration damping rule.04-29-2010

20080292214Method and Computer Program Product for Registering Biomedical Images with Reduced Imaging Artifacts Caused by Object Movement - A method of registering biomedical images to reduce imaging artefacts caused by object movement is disclosed, wherein a certain number of features or landmarks is automatically defined and tracked in a first and second image to be registered to determine the optical flow vector between the first and second image. Registration then takes place by applying the inverse optical flow to the second image. The automatic feature selection step is carried out by determining the mean signal intensity in a defined neighborhood for every pixel, which mean signal intensity is then compared to a predetermined threshold. If the mean signal intensity value of said neighborhood is higher than the predetermined threshold the pixel is defined as a feature and is added to a list of features to be tracked. 11-27-2008
