  • Patent number: 7412023
    Abstract: A X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray imaging unit including an X-ray tube and an X-ray detecting unit to generate an X-ray image, an image generating unit generating a 3D non-blood vessel image and a 3D blood vessel image from an original 3D image generated by the X-ray diagnostic apparatus or an X-ray CT apparatus, a projection image generating unit generating a non-blood vessel projection image from the 3D non-blood vessel image and generating a blood vessel projection image from the 3D blood vessel image, a positional shift identifying unit identifying a positional shift between the X-ray image and the non-blood vessel projection image, a correcting unit correcting a positional shift of the blood vessel projection image on the basis of the positional shift, and a display unit which displays the X-ray image and the corrected blood vessel projection image.

  • Patent number: 6863254
    Abstract: 2.1. Existing valve control devices are set up in housings that feature also the complete yoke in addition to the valve spools. 2.2. In order to reduce the assembly effort required as well as the play of the valve domes on the inside of the spool, yoke arrangements are mounted externally on the housing. 2.3. Such valve control devices are suitable for antilock braking systems, anti-slip control systems, electronic brake servos, and electronic stabilizing programs in motor vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20020056820
    Abstract: 2.1. Existing valve control devices are set up in housings that feature a cover and a frame in which the valve spools are embedded. Between the cover and the frame, there is the circuit carrier with the electronic components. With the new valve control device, there is no longer to be any need for a housing, and the manufacturing process is to be simplified.

  • Patent number: 5446249
    Abstract: An active noise control system is provided for cancellation of noise in a duct. A speaker is mounted over an opening in the duct. An enclosure is mounted the duct about the speaker. Air flow is generated through the enclosure in order to balance the diffusion of water vapor through the speaker such that the dew point of the air in the enclosure is always below the temperature of the air in the enclosure, thus avoiding condensation.

  • Patent number: 5075822
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing for installation in motor vehicles to hold electronic components arranged on a PCB. In accordance with the invention, the housing comprises a trough-shaped housing section and a metal lid. In addition, several heat sinks are arranged on the PCB, with the PCB being firmly connected exclusively to these heat sinks. Here, the heat sinks are designed such that they are in direct contact with both the housing section and the metal lid.

  • Patent number: 4651906
    Abstract: An arrangement for applying an adhesive medium, particularly for leather and shoe articles, has an adhesive medium applying nozzle and a nozzle needle member arranged to close and to open the nozzle. A driver connects one end of the nozzle needle member with a driving unit which includes at least two selectively actuatable driving devices formed with individually adjustable displacement elements so that they move the nozzle needle member selectively over different adjustable strokes.

  • Patent number: 4436362
    Abstract: A connecting plug for printed circuit boards has a receiving part with a front cross bar having rectangular openings therein surrounded by insertion bevels and corresponding to the necessary contact count. A multiple contact strip containing contacts snaps into the receiving part. Contact insertion and a decrease in assembly is thereby facilitated. The connecting plug is suitable, in particular, for use in devices of data systems.
