Abstract: A system includes at least one device that includes at least one device component. For a defined movement of the at least one device component, a movement axis and/or a movement direction may be selected by a selection element and may be identified by an activatable lighting element. The identified movement axis and/or the identified movement direction may be released by at least one actuation element, so that a desired movement of the at least one device component may be performed.

Abstract: A medical examination or treatment device including a C-arm that is guided movably along an arc path on a bracket via a mechanical guidance device is provided. Magnet elements are provided on the C-arm. Magnetic field generation elements on the bracket interact together to create a magnetic field that moves the C-arm along the arc path.

Abstract: A medical examination or treatment device including a C-arm operable to be moved along a trajectory on a holder is provided. First magnet elements or magnetic field generation elements are provided on the C-arm, and second magnetic field generation elements are provided on the holder. The first magnet elements or magnetic field generation elements and the second magnetic field generation elements interact with one another to establish a magnetic field guiding the C-arm in a non-contact manner. The magnetic field moves the C-arm along the trajectory.

Abstract: A mobile C-arm x-ray device includes a C-arm and a C-arm supporting apparatus that is movable on wheels. The C-arm is rotatably arranged on the C-arm supporting apparatus about a vertical axis of rotation. An anti-tilt device that rotates about the vertical axis of rotation at the same time and in the same direction as the C-arm during a rotation movement of the C-arm reduces the tilting hazard of the mobile C-arm x-ray device.

Abstract: A C-arm x-ray device includes a C-arm and bearing rollers, on which the C-arm is moveably mounted. At least one drive unit drives or brakes the C-arm with the bearing rollers. The at least one drive unit is actively connected to the bearing rollers.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a wheeled C-arm support device for a mobile C-arm X-ray machine and an associated method for swiveling the C-arm support device. The C-arm support device includes two steerable front wheels, two freely movable rear wheels and a steering unit that may steer the two steerable front wheels simultaneously inward by the same angle. A line of intersection of surfaces formed by outer sides of the two steerable front wheels form an imaginary swivel axis of the C-arm support device.

Abstract: A C-arm X-ray machine includes a C-arm that is rotatable about an orbital axis running perpendicular to a C-arm plane. The C-arm includes an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. An overall center of gravity of the C-arm, the X-ray source, and the X-ray detector exerts a first torque on the C-arm. A mass motionally coupled to the C-arm via a rotatable contour disk produces a second torque compensating the first torque.

Magnet elements are provided on the C-arm. Magnetic field generation elements on the bracket interact together to create a magnetic field that moves the C-arm along the arc path.

Abstract: An X-ray device including a C-arm movably guided on a mount is provided. A radiation source and a radiation detector are arranged on the C-arm. The radiation source and the radiation detector are connected to the C-arm by cables fed in from outside, the cables being arranged on a cable clamp that may be moved at least in segments along the C-arm.

Abstract: The present invention embodiments pertain to managing and exchanging documents. A descriptor is added to an original document, wherein the descriptor includes at least one document identifier representing a logical subject of the document. Modifications to a document being sent or received are identified based on comparing the descriptor of the sent or received document and the descriptor of the original document. The modifications are introduced into the original document to become a single master document of consolidated information relating to the same logical subject.

Abstract: A mobile medical diagnostic or therapy apparatus has at least one Bowden cable element via which the travel movement of the diagnostic or therapy apparatus is controlled. The use of one or more Bowden cable elements allows them to be placed relatively freely in the mobile diagnostic or therapy apparatuses and they require very little space.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for operating a relational database management system (RDBMS). In order to operate a RDBMS, information is read from a first execution plan in response to an execution request for a second individual database statement of a second sequence of database statements. The information is processed and pool resource requirements for execution of further individual database statements of the second sequence of database statements are evaluated. A preparation request is sent for pool modification based on the evaluated pool resource requirements to an asynchronous pool preparation queue. Then the second individual database statement of the second sequence of database statements is executed. The information indicative of the progression of execution of the second individual database statement is stored in a position register.
