Patent number: 7773094Abstract: A device for the display of images with a data processing system is provided. The device includes a display device; a memory storing an original image comprising a number of pixels; and a processor operable to generate a second image on the basis of the original image. The second image is displayed on the display device. The display device has a lower resolution than the original image. The second image is displayed at a first time point using an interpolation function that reduces the number of pixels, and the processor operable to generate a shifted third image at a second, later time point for display on the display device. The shifted third image uses an interpolation function that reduces the number of pixels, the interpolation at the first time point differentiated from the interpolation carried out at the second time point.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Matthias Wedel

Publication number: 20090302244Abstract: A clamp valve is provided. A clamp valve or a squeeze valve may be straight-way valves, which include a tubular shut-off element, which is sometimes arranged in a tubular housing made of metal or plastic. The tubular shut-off element is either squeezed together mechanically or by an externally supplied foreign medium until the closed position is achieved. In one embodiment, a squeeze valve includes a first flexible tubular segment, the cross-section of which can be influenced by a first tube squeezing apparatus and a second flexible tubular segment, the cross-section of which can be changed by a second tube squeezing apparatus. The tube squeezing apparatuses may be controlled such that an opening process of the second tubular segment is executed at the same time as a closing process of the second tubular segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Inventor: Matthias Wedel
