Abstract: In a method for modifying at least one calculation algorithm in a biopsy system and a biopsy system operating according to the method, a phantom is placed in a specific position on an object table in a biopsy system and the phantom is irradiated with penetrating radiation from at least two angles to produce at least two images. The phantom contains markers at exact positions, and the calculation algorithm can be modified on the basis of information on the known positions of the markers and image information in the two exposures.

Abstract: A multi-pole, variable SMD terminal arrangement mountable on a circuit substrate has a stamped metallic element with at least three terminal poles connected with one another by means of a common connecting strip that can be removed after the soldering, the terminal poles having variably formed contact areas on the substrate side that are respectively deflected on one side from the plane of the connecting strip in basically z-shaped fashion, so that the contact areas deflected towards opposite sides form a support base for the terminal arrangement during assembly and soldering. The contact areas comprise end areas that form a contact plane that is coplanar to the substrate during assembly and soldering.

Abstract: A coil body consists of a coil tube having flanges integrally formed onto the ends and having an axially through-extending opening. This core opening is formed by a successive arrangement of radial recesses which alternately extend through the coil tube wall from opposite sides. These radial recesses are formed by of reciprocally opposed projections of two cooperating mold halves of an injection molding tool. Such an arrangement permits manufacture of winding coil bodies with a simple two-part mold, eliminating a need for moveable components for forming the axial spindle core opening during the molding operation. The resulting coil body includes the continuous axial spindle opening defined by wall segments around its entire periphery and for easy attachment to a winding spindle for winding.
