Abstract: A C-arm x-ray imaging device includes a base, a carriage operably connected to the base and having at least one axis of movement with respect to the base; a C-arm movably connected to the carriage, the C-arm including an x-ray source and an x-ray detector disposed thereon in alignment with one another and a cable management system having a housing disposed on the carriage, the housing defining an interior, a number of cables extending from the base into the interior of the housing, a cable chain having a first end secured within the interior of the housing and a second end affixed to the C-arm, the cable chain defining a channel therein that receives the number of cables to direct the number of cables from the base to the C-arm. The cable management system operate to retain the number of cables in alignment with the C-arm in any orientation of the C-arm relative to the base.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for driving a transmitting device, wherein the transmitting device operates with a target frequency (f0). The method comprises: driving the transmitting device by an electrical signal comprising various drive frequencies (f1, f2) selected depending on the target frequency (f0).

Abstract: A process is provided for preparing a powder of an oxide of at least one metal, each metal having an oxidation number between (III) and (VI). This process comprises successively and in this order: (a) reacting, with a compound comprising a hydroxide, an aqueous solution comprising, for each metal, at least one salt of the cation of said metal, (b) separating the precipitate obtained, (c) contacting the separated precipitate with an organic protic polar solvent, (d) removing the organic protic polar solvent by vacuum drying the precipitate. A process is further provided for manufacturing a pellet of an oxide of at least one metal as well as to a powder and to a pellet obtained according to these processes and to uses thereof.
