  • Patent number: 10470635
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device in the form of a suction nozzle (10) for an urban or industrial aspirator (1), preferably self-propelled, comprising a rigid hose or tube (1000), said rigid hose or tube comprising gripping means (100, 200, 300, 400) that comprise a first gripping element (110, 210, 310, 410) in the form of a handle, a support element (120, 220, 320, 420) serving as a lever, and a second gripping element (130, 230, 330, 430) and optionally a base (101, 201, 301, 401).

  • Publication number: 20180099159
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus including a hadron therapy device and a magnetic resonance imaging device (MRI). The MRI may be an open MRI for acquiring magnetic resonance data in an MRI imaging volume. A nozzle of the apparatus may be fixed and positioned for directing a beam along a beam path substantially along an axis or substantially perpendicularly to the axis. The apparatus may further include a patient support system adapted for supporting a patient in a non-supine position in the MRI. The present disclosure also relates to methods for adapting a treatment plan to movements of organs resulting from displacement of a patient from a supine position in which treatment plan imaging was performed to a non-supine position in which a treatment will be performed.

  • Patent number: 9878181
    Abstract: The method of the invention comprises the steps of: providing a reference ion beamlet; determining in a phantom (60) a distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity representing a linearly-superposable effect induced by said reference ion beamlet; approximating an ion beam (10) as a weighted superposition of ion beamlets (15), said weighted superposition comprising weight coefficients, at least one ion beamlet (15) being obtained by applying a roto-translation operation to said reference ion beamlet; determining a roto-translated distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity by roto-translating said distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity with said roto-translation operation; determining said physical and/or radiobiological quantities by performing a weighted superposition comprising said weight coefficients, and said roto-translated distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity.
