  • Patent number: 11172902
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for recording a panorama dataset of an examination object by a movable medical x-ray device, to a medical x-ray device, and to a computer program product for carrying out the method. The medical x-ray device has an x-ray source, which emits a bundle of x-rays, wherein a first image segment, which maps at least one part of the examination object, is recorded at a first point in time. Position data is acquired, which maps the spatial position of the x-ray device at this first point in time. At least one further image segment along an imaging path is recorded after there has been a movement of the x-ray device, wherein the imaging path lies in one plane, wherein a central ray of the bundle of x-rays emitted by the x-ray source does not run in parallel to the plane in which the imaging path lies. Additionally, position data is acquired, which maps the spatial position of the x-ray device at the time of the recording of the at least one further image segment.

  • Patent number: 10215734
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for testing a workpiece using ultrasound in a curved region of the surface of said workpiece, having the following steps: a plurality of ultrasonic signals are emitted from a plurality of transmitting positions into the workpiece a corresponding ultrasonic echo signal is received for each ultrasonic signal the ultrasonic echoes having amplitudes representing local maxima are determined for each transmitting position if an individual ultrasonic echo having an amplitude representing a local maximum was determined for a transmitting position in, the associated ultrasonic echo signal of said echo is selected if a plurality of ultrasonic echoes having an amplitude representing a local maximum were determined for a transmitting position, ultrasonic echo signals are selected if only an individual ultrasonic echo having an amplitude representing a local maximum was determined for an adjacent transmitting position at least the selected ultrasonic echo signals are evaluated.

  • Patent number: 8975112
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a device and a method for spraying coatings of organic construction elements. The embodiments relate, in particular, to the spraying of coatings made up of components that do not dissolve in the same solvent, for example, and/or the spraying of a plurality of coatings one after the other. A plurality of spray heads is used, for example one after the other and/or next to one another.

  • Patent number: 8578780
    Abstract: An apparatus internally inspects a workpiece having a hollow cylindrical hole. The apparatus contains an ultrasound transducer configuration having a plurality of ultrasound transducer elements, which are arranged in at least one row, one next to the other, in an elastically deformable carrier which has the form of a segment of a hollow cylinder and has a plurality of sliding pimples which extend in the longitudinal direction of the carrier and project with a protrusion in the radial direction beyond the transmitting and/or receiving surfaces of the ultrasound transducer elements.
