  • Publication number: 20120225418
    Abstract: The invention provides a device and a method for flow cytometric fractionation of particles contained in a fluid stream, wherein sections of the fluid stream, especially droplets if the fluid stream is a droplet stream, are irradiated with a laser. The laser disposed for the irradiation of the sections of the fluid stream can have a wavelength which is absorbed by the fluid and can have a sufficient radiation duration and radiation intensity to deflect sections of the fluid stream.

  • Patent number: 8233961
    Abstract: In a method and a device for automatic determination of perfusion by using a magnetic resonance system, multiple first MR data sets are thereby acquired from a volume element over time with a perfusion-sensitive imaging sequence, and multiple second MR data sets of the same volume element are acquired over time with a control imaging sequence, in particular a perfusion-insensitive imaging sequence. These first MR data sets and the second MR data sets are subjected to a statistical time series analysis in order to determine the perfusion in the volume element.

  • Patent number: 7445005
    Abstract: A household appliance door, which is mounted in a manner that enables it to pivot about a joint axis, has a door handle that can pivot about a door handle axis running parallel to the joint axis. At least one controlling mechanism is associated with the door handle. When the door executes a pivotal movement in a first pivoting direction, the controlling mechanism pivots the door handle in a second pivoting direction opposite the first pivoting direction, as such, reliable actuation of the door handle is achieved. The door handle is pivotally mounted in a bearing housing and the bearing housing extends in an axial direction along the entire door.

  • Patent number: 7280681
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for generating a combined parameter map from a number of individual, initial parameter maps that contain values of various parameters dependent on the position (x, y), for each of the initial parameter maps and for each position, the signal value of the parameter at the appertaining position is converted into a first color value according to a first transfer function specifically defined for the respective parameter. Subsequently, the first color values are respectively converted into color code intensity values on the basis of a second transfer function. The color code intensity values of the individual parameters are then operated to form a combined intensity value. Finally, the combined intensity value is converted with a third transfer function into a color value at the appertaining position in the parameter map.

  • Patent number: 7261100
    Abstract: A household device includes a useful storage volume that can be closed by a door and a storage compartment disposed below, above, or to the side of the useful storage volume into which the door can be displaced. The door is associated with a guiding system including at least one slide track, wherein a guiding element associated with the door is guided by displacing the door from a closed position and moving it into the storage compartment. The slide track includes a start section that initially guides the door in an upward direction when it moves out of the closed position. Such a configuration has the same size as conventional household device with an increased useful storage volume.

  • Patent number: 7252082
    Abstract: A household appliance has a useful storage volume that can be closed by a door pivotally mounted around a horizontal articulation axis and also has a storage compartment. The door can be displaced in the storage compartment by a guiding system including at least one guiding element associated with the door, the guiding element being guided in a slide track associated with the appliance. To produce an ergonomically economical opening and closing movement of the door, the door is provided with at least one counterweight configuration that, during displacement of the door, exerts a balancing force on the door acting against the weight of the door.

  • Patent number: 7234457
    Abstract: A door for household appliances, in particular, a door for cooking appliances, are mounted to pivot about an articulation axis include a door handle that can be pivoted about a door-handle axis that runs parallel to the articulation axis and is connected to at least one control mechanism. When the door is pivoted in a first pivoting direction, the control mechanism pivots the door handle in a second pivoting direction that is opposite to the first. According to the invention, to obtain a reliable actuation of the door handle, a protective device is allocated to the control mechanism and prevents the pivoting motion of the door handle, during the actuation of the latter, from being transmitted to the control mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7036499
    Abstract: Household devices that a useful compartment and can be closed by a door provided with a door handle include a storage compartment into which the door can be displaced by guiding system and at least one guiding element associated with the door and guided in a sliding track associated with the household appliance. To be able to operate the door in an ergonomically favorable manner, at least one control mechanism is associated with the door handle. When the door pivots in a first pivoting direction, the control mechanism pivots the door handle in a second pivoting direction counter to the first pivoting direction.

  • Patent number: 6895462
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a processor and at least one module and provides registers required for the modules as well as access to these registers. By concentrating the required registers according to the invention in a central register bank, which like the processor and the modules is connected to a fast AMBA-AHB bus, several advantages are achieved: for one, faster access is possible to each register. For another, the placement of the registers and the routing for the registers is simplified. This in particular allows chip area to be saved, which leads to cost savings in manufacture and enables higher component density. Furthermore, a slow AMBA-APB bus has now become optional.
