Abstract: A method and device to control the transmission of medical data packets via a network is provided. By accessing a trained model, an optimal point in time for the data transmission is determined, taking into account the respective transmission prerequisites that the data packet has and taking into account the actual network characteristics data. If necessary, the data packet may be buffered for this purpose in a buffer memory.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for automatic positioning of a patient relative to a medical device, the patient is positioned on a patient support of the medical device in a detection area of an optical position determining device of the medical device. The optical position determining device has at least one three-dimensional light curtain arrangement. A start position of the patient is detected by the optical position determining device and a position deviation between the start position detected and a target position stored in a control processor is determined. Depending on the position deviation, the patient support is automatically positioned in three dimensions.

Abstract: In the performance of a procedure on a patient by a medical system, target values for each substep of the procedure are determined in a computer. Actual values for each substep of the procedure are detected. The target values are compared in the computer to the actual values for each substep of the procedure, in order to determine a deviation between the target values and the actual values.

Abstract: In a device to simultaneously present at least two items of information respectively associated with different persons, only to those persons located, at a single display device such as a monitor, the respective items of information are shown using the entire presentation area of the display device, and the presentation is made visible from the respective positions by the display device being provided with a lenticular film designed to show an image point presented on the display device only at a position that is associated with the intended viewer.

Abstract: A system, method, and program route system components, such as repair parts for products in the field, to various locations. A component may be routed via a first route to a first location associated with a first customer from a central warehouse. A determination may be made after a servicing action at the first location as to whether the component remains in working condition. Subsequently, a second route may be automatically determined that will route the component directly to a second location from the first location based upon whether the component remains in working condition. If the component remains in working condition, the component may be routed from the first location directly to a second location associated with a second customer. On the other hand, if the component no longer remains in working condition, the component may be routed from the first location directly to a repair facility.
