  • Patent number: 11927514
    Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a measurement process for a measurement system having a fluid detector, which is provided with a preconcentrator and a fluid sensor. The measurement system for detecting a concentration of a substance to be detected has a sorption phase, during which the fluid to be detected is enriched for a sorption duration (t) in the preconcentrator in a first state, and a measurement phase, in which a concentration of the substance to be detected resulting from the release of the substance to be detected that was enriched in the preconcentrator is measured. The fluid detector is calibrated by adjusting the sorption duration (t).

  • Patent number: 10134156
    Abstract: In a method and an evaluation device for the evaluation of projection data of an object being examined, which are determined along a trajectory in a multiplicity of projection positions relative to a co-ordinate origin, a particular trajectory function is determined for the projection positions, for each of a multiplicity of positions from a reconstruction region of dimension n by establishing an offset (d) and a direction vector at the co-ordinate origin, establishing a hyperplane of dimension n?1 which runs perpendicular to the direction vector and has an offset to the co-ordinate origin, establishing a number of intersection points where the hyperplane intersects the trajectory, establishing a derivative vector of the trajectory according to its trajectory path and calculating the derivative vector in the projection position, and establishing an absolute value of a scalar product between the derivative vector and the position and dividing the absolute value by the number.
