Abstract: An apparatus (1) for reading out X-ray information of an X-ray image stored in a storage phosphor layer (4) is pivotable and includes acquiring unit (24) for acquiring an orientation of the apparatus (1). In this way, in a technically simple way, good image quality of an X-ray image read out can be guaranteed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a radiography module with this type of apparatus (1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for generating a map of a hole of a golf course, the map including at least one graduation showing the distance between a pin and a fixed point on the hole, the process including the steps of taking a GPS reading of the location of the pin; and generating the map based on the reading. There is also provided a system to carry out the process of the invention, together with a map generated by the process of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention provides a method by which the hood of a motor vehicle is precisely aligned and centered relative the fenders and the header without alternating trial-and-error steps of inspection and adjustment. The hood is prepared for assembly by attaching the hood hinges at a precise longitudinal location and attaching the latch striker at a position having a precise vertical distance from the appearance surface of the hood and precisely centered transversely between the edges of the hood. Pads attached to the hood at the forward corners are milled to a precise vertical distance from the appearance surface of the hood. The body is prepared to receive the hood by attaching the latch assembly to the header at a precisely centered transverse location and at a precise vertical distance from the appearance surfaces of the fenders and header. The adjusting screws for engaging the hood pads are adjusted to a precise vertical height relative the appearance surfaces of the fenders and header.
