  • Patent number: 10222466
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for the registration of a 3-dimensional all-round view of a moving human or animal body surface. The method accordingly comprises the steps: determination (A) of a movement velocity of at least one region of the body surface and registration (B) at least of the region of the body surface at a timing point at which the value of the movement velocity of this region falls below a defined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 9265151
    Abstract: A printed-circuit board arrangement electrically connects the at least one transmitter and/or receiver unit with at least one antenna element, whereas the at least one transmitter and/or receiver unit and the at least one antenna element are at least partially integrated into the printed-circuit board arrangement. In this context, the printed-circuit board arrangement includes different printed circuit boards, which are mechanically connected to one another in a rigid manner. A first part of the printed-circuit board arrangement is formed by at least one printed-circuit board, of which the substrate is made from a first material which is suitable for high-frequency, and a second part of the printed-circuit board arrangement is formed by at least one printed-circuit board, of which the substrate is made from a second material different from the first material, which is still sufficiently suitable for a low frequency and/or for a direct-voltage range.

  • Patent number: 8810461
    Abstract: An antenna coupler for testing a mobile-radio device with a coupling element formed in a flat manner by strip conductors on a printed-circuit board and with a retaining device formed on a first side of the printed-circuit board for positioning a mobile-radio device in the vicinity of the coupling element. On the first side of the printed-circuit board, at least one slit structure is introduced into an ground metallization formed there. For feeding the slit structure serving as the coupling element, at least one stripline formed on the second side facing away from it forms a microstripline with the ground metallization remaining between the slit structure of the first side.
