  • Patent number: 11839500
    Abstract: A method is for acquiring an X-ray image of a region of interest of an examinee using an X-ray system and a displaceable patient table for positioning the examinee. In an embodiment, the method includes: selecting the region of interest; acquiring, section-by-section, successive image sections in relation to the region of interest, the acquiring, for each successive image section of the successive image sections, including moving the X-ray source and the X-ray detector along a common acquisition direction, moving the patient table counter to the common acquisition direction, determining a respective essentially strip-shaped detection area within the detection zone for a respective image section of the successive image sections, and detecting the respective image section by way of the determined detection area and the X-ray source, to acquire the respective image section; and generating a composite X-ray image of the region of interest from the respective successive image sections.

  • Patent number: 9358815
    Abstract: An arrangement for capturing an image of a printing substrate web in a printing machine, includes a camera that has a sensor field extending parallel to the printing substrate web, and an objective lens an optical axis of which runs at right angles to the sensor field, a light source that is arranged relative to the printing substrate web such that the light emitted therefrom is reflected by reflective surface portions of the printing substrate web mainly into the camera, and the objective lens is arranged to be offset from the sensor field such that a straight line extending through the center of the sensor field and the center of the objective lens and a straight line extending from the center of the light source to the center of the light incident on the image field on the printing substrate web form equal angles with the axis of incidence.

  • Patent number: 8237978
    Abstract: In a method or system for generation of media print copies of at least one media title, running data are generated in an editing computer, the running data being associated with a media page. The running data have reference information and are transferred to a job system. Job data of an individual job are generated from the running data and from customer-specific data that correspond to media categories of the media title. Individual page frame data are formed from the job data. Control information is attained from the job data and with the control information the page frame data are merged with page content data of pages filled with editorial information.
