20090143664 | IDENTIFICATION MECHANISM FOR A COMPONENT ATTACHED TO A MEDICAL DEVICE - The invention relates to the identification of a component of a medical device. The medical device is realized for the alternative attachment of a plurality of components. By means of infrared reflection sensors an emitted signal that is reflected by an attached component is detected. The reflected signal has a shape that is characteristic of the component. The component is identified through determination by the infrared reflection sensors that detect a reflected signal. The invention allows for alternative components that can be attached to be identified efficiently and with little outlay. | 06-04-2009 |
20100226479 | MULTICATHODE X-RAY TUBE - An improved x-ray tube that includes a plurality of cathodes in a region under vacuum is provided. Several wirelessly activatable elements, which are each assigned to a cathode or a group of cathodes, are arranged in the region under vacuum and make an electrically conducting connection of the cathode or the group of cathodes to a cathode control voltage line when receiving a control signal from outside of the region under vacuum. A system that includes the improved x-ray tube and several transmitter elements for the wireless activation of the wirelessly activatable elements is also provided. | 09-09-2010 |
20150084502 | Voltage Supply for Electrical Focusing of Electron Beams - A rapidly regulable high-voltage supply for the electrical focusing of an electron beam using a high-voltage final stage is provided. The high-voltage final stage includes a plurality of amplification elements that are interconnected in a series configuration with a first high-voltage connection, and a potential dividing chain including a series of potential dividing elements. The potential dividing chain is interconnected with the first high-voltage connection and has a signal interconnection with the plurality of amplification elements, so that when a voltage is applied across the potential dividing chain, a difference in voltages between a signal input to any amplification element of the plurality of amplification elements and a signal input to a next amplification element of the plurality of amplification elements has a same sign. | 03-26-2015 |
