  • Patent number: 7597473
    Abstract: An X-ray recording device has an X-ray detector and an X-ray emitter aligned with one another on a mobile supporting device, the supporting device being supported by retainer on a stand unit and being displaceable along a horizontal translation axis and/or vertical translation axis. The retainer has only one first pivoting arm rotatably mounted on the stand unit for rotation around a first vertical rotational axis and only one second pivoting arm rotatably mounted on the first pivoting arm for rotation around a second vertical rotational axis. This X-ray recording device allows an alteration to the recording range to be undertaken at reduced cost and with a space-saving and stable configuration.

  • Publication number: 20090015029
    Abstract: An insulation configuration in a motor vehicle has an insulation element, in particular a sound insulating molded part, which has at least two layers, of which at least one is formed as an insulation layer and one is formed as a support layer. A sealing profile is provided, by which the insulation element is connected with a marginal area to a body of a motor vehicle. The insulation element has, in its marginal area which is in connection with the sealing profile, a cross section thickening, which engages in an undercut-like recess of the sealing profile, and is fixed there.

  • Publication number: 20070211847
    Abstract: In a method for recording radiological projection data sets of an object under examination, a number of two-dimensional projection data sets of the object under examination being recorded, which are characterized by an axis of rotation having a spatial position, with a projection data set being obtained from an x-ray beam penetrating the object under examination, which essentially diffuses at a right angle to the axis of rotation. By changing the spatial position of the axis of rotation between the recording of two successive projection data sets, increases the versatility of the x-ray device increased, in particular for a movable x-ray device, and the image quality of the spatial representations that are reconstructed from the projection data sets is improved.

  • Patent number: 6994237
    Abstract: An interior design device for motor vehicles is provided which can be installed in an interior space of the vehicle with a lining section that can be fastened to a vehicle wall. A fastening section for the lining section and a coat hook element extend into the interior. The fastening section and the hook element are connected with each other via a bridge and the fastening section can be attached to the vehicle wall and the hook element rests against the interior surface of the lining section facing the interior. In order to be able to fasten the lining section of the interior design device in a simple manner, the fastening section is installed between the lining section and the vehicle wall with the bridge extending beyond a peripheral edge of the lining section and the fastening section and the hook element are placed on top of the peripheral edge.

  • Publication number: 20050218667
    Abstract: An operating device is provided for unlocking at least one movable lid of a motor vehicle. The operating device can be arranged on a side of a side member of the motor vehicle facing a vehicle interior and includes a side member covering and at least one triggering element held on a bearing housing, arranged on the side member covering. For a simple producibility of operating device, it is provided that the side member covering has a slide-in shaft for the bearing housing between whose shaft wall and a bearing housing wall a guiding device is provided which extends in the slide-in direction. The guiding device has a guide rail and a rail receiving device. In a cross-sectional view, the guiding device is constructed as a reach-behind contour. A fastening device for the bearing housing is arranged on the side member covering.

  • Patent number: 6951360
    Abstract: A foot rest mountable on a motor vehicle floor has a foundation with a mounting surface, a footboard, and a fastening apparatus acting between the foundation and the footboard that holds the footboard on the mounting surface. The fastening apparatus has a lower, first fastening element constructed in the form of a rigid back-reaching element and an upper, second fastening element. For short installation times of the footboard on the foundation, the fastening apparatus is additionally provided with a third fastening element constructed as a rigid back-reaching element, and the upper fastening element is constructed as a slide blocking element that blocks a relative displacement between the footboard and the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 6343831
    Abstract: A passenger car has at least one large-surface movable roof part which is guided on elongated guide rails arranged laterally of a roof opening. The guide rails extend adjacent to laterally exterior roof members, and the roof members as well as the guide rails are covered by a covering in the direction of the vehicle occupant compartment. In the event of a lateral impact of a vehicle occupant's head, the risk of injury is significantly reduced by the provision of a covering assigned at least in areas to an intermediately disposed deformation element which can be fixed in the guide rail.

  • Patent number: 5190791
    Abstract: A process brings out a high contrast in natural grain of a naturally pale wood via infrared irradiation having a wavelength which is as long as possible. This infrared radiation can come from a conventional infrared emitter or, more preferably, from a carbon dioxide laser. Due to the contact-free heating near the surface which is effective in a stagnant ambient atmosphere, the new wood part of the grain is browned, while the harder old wood part remains essentially unbrowned. This causes the natural grain of the wood to stand out in contrast. Due to the contact-free and turbulence-free mode of operation of the heating, the grain pattern produced is uniform. Any scratches or chatter marks in the wood are simply covered over and remain invisible.
