Abstract: A system for emitting light (such as a luminaire) includes a first light emitting diode (LED) string and a first LED driver that is electrically connected in parallel to the first LED string. The system also may include a second (or more) LED string(s), each associated with an additional LED driver. One-way conductors and normally-open switches are used so that if one LED driver fails, the remaining LED driver(s) will deliver power to the failed driver's LED string so that the light remains operational, but with a reduced brightness.

Abstract: A docking station is for accommodating a tablet computer device. In an embodiment, the docking station includes a housing, and an interface apparatus for connecting the tablet computer device to the housing. The housing is configured to accommodate the interface apparatus in a form-fit manner. The interface apparatus is configured such that the tablet computer device is dockable in a form-fit manner to the interface apparatus upon the interface apparatus being accommodated in a form-fit manner in the housing.

Abstract: An X-ray examination device has an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector for recording at least one X-ray image of a breast and also an ultrasound system for recording an ultrasound image of the breast. A compression unit is used for compression and fixation of the breast. A volume-variable and/or shape-variable positioning element is disposed to act on the breast. The positioning element has at least one chamber and the volume-variability and/or shape-variability of the positioning element can be effected by filling at least one chamber of the positioning element with a filling medium and/or by emptying at least one chamber of the positioning element.
