Abstract: Differently designed measuring systems exist of which most contain a central signal processing unit and a number of electrical measuring components, and in which the measured values furnished by the measuring components are optically transmitted over optical wave guides. The aim of the invention is to provide a measuring system of this type, which has low power consumption and enables a reliable optical data transmission. To this end, an optical loop is provided between a central measuring unit (MG) and a sensor head (SK). Microprocessors (MP1, MP2), which are situated inside the central measuring unit (MG) and inside the sensor head (SK), carry out transmitting, measuring and monitoring tasks as a distributed controller with bi-directional data communication. A frame synchronization signal serves both for supplying power as well as for deriving a clock signal for block-oriented data transmission.

Abstract: An X-ray diffractometer has a mechanism without toothed ring and is suited to move the two legs of a goniometer, on which the source and detector are respectively disposed, at the same time and in a correlated fashion. Each goniometer leg (or linkage) thereby has a common main center of rotation HDP and also one respective auxiliary center of rotation HD1, HD2. The two auxiliary centers of rotation are symmetrically disposed with respect to a symmetry plane E which contains the main center of rotation, and can be moved on a guidance that is symmetrical with respect to the plane E. The main center of rotation can only be moved in the plane E, e.g. along a rail guidance. The movement of the main center of rotation relative to the guidance can be easily driven by means of one single motor.

Abstract: A method for determining the spatial distribution of magnetic resonance (MR) signals from an imaging region has a preparatory step in which an encoding scheme with I phase encoding steps is defined, for each phase encoding step according to the phase encoding scheme, an excitation pattern of the transverse magnetization is defined and RF pulses to be irradiated to implement this pattern are calculated, wherein the same phase is defined at all spatial locations of the imaging region within an MSEM region and, in the execution step, according to the spatial encoding scheme each encoding step is performed I times according to the phase encoding scheme, wherein selection of the imaging region, amplitude modulation, and phase encoding are performed with the calculated RF pulses during excitation of the nuclear spin. This results in unique determination of the spatial distribution of the magnetic resonance signals with a simple RF receiver configuration using local gradient systems.
