| 20080240363 | X-RAY DEVICE - The invention relates to an X-ray device, in which an X-ray source and an X-ray detector are attached, in an opposed arrangement oriented toward a rotational axis, to a common holder capable of rotating about the rotational axis. To simplify the design of the X-ray device, it is proposed that the holder is attached to the hand of a robot displaying six axes of rotation. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080279340 | Medical system having a C-arm - The present intervention relates to a medical diagnosis or intervention system with a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a C-arm as a component carrier, to which the radiation source and the radiation detector are fastened. The distance between the radiation source and the radiation detector can be changed by means of a linear guide. The C-arm is fastened to an articulated arm of a robot and the linear guide is arranged in the vicinity of the fastening point of the C-arm on the articulated arm. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090022275 | Medical examination or intervention device - A medical examination or intervention device that includes at least one component, in particular a C-arm, that can be moved under a user's control via a manual control device, as well as a collision monitoring device embodied for ascertaining an imminent collision and/or one having already occurred, with the control device having a haptic indicating means, controlled by the collision monitoring device, for indicating an imminent component collision and/or one having already occurred. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090028290 | Biplane X-ray system - In a biplane X-ray system, a robot is used for moving at least a pair comprising an X-ray radiation source and an X-ray detector. The robot can be a buckling arm robot bearing an X-ray C-arm. It is also possible for the X-ray radiation source and X-ray detector each to be suspended from the ceiling of the room by means of robot arms. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20080204053 | CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR CLOCKED CONTROL OF AT LEAST ONE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE - A control circuit includes a clock pulse generator operable to output a pulse-frequency ratio to a constant voltage source in order to control the power output of the constant voltage source. The control circuit further includes a driver circuit for the clocked control of at least one light emitting diode (LED) to which a measurement resistor is connected in parallel. The LED is supplied with power by the constant voltage source. The LED is turned on when the power is greater than a forward power level and is turned off when the power is less than the forward power level. The driver circuit taps a measurement voltage of the measurement resistor while the LED is supplied with power less than the forward power level. The clock pulse generator varies the pulse-frequency ratio as a function of the measurement voltage of the measurement resistor. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080238707 | FAILURE CURRENT MEASUREMENT FOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE - A method and system for assessing or otherwise determining defective operation of an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU may be a vehicle or non-vehicle ECU having any number of modules configured to provide and/or support any number of operations. The defective ECU operations may be determined as a function of a voltage drop across a shunt included on the ECU. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110089843 | DC/DC CONVERTER - A DC/DC converter converts an input DC voltage into an output DC voltage. The DC/DC converter includes an input capacitor, an inductor, an electronic switch, a diode, an output capacitor and a control unit, wherein the control unit controls the first electronic switch as a function of the signals fed to the control unit. The input capacitor is connected between the input voltage and ground or zero point, and the inductor is connected between the input capacitor and the electronic switch. A second electronic switch, which the control unit can drive by means of a switching signal, is disposed between the load and the ground or zero point, and a second diode embodies a connection between the output of the load and the input capacitor. The control unit is fed the value of the input voltage. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110221352 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRICAL LOAD - A method for controlling an electrical load of at least two single loads includes activating and deactivating the single loads in switching cycles of predefined duration sequentially following one another. In one switching cycle, the single loads are activated and deactivated alternately with respect to one another. | 09-15-2011 |
