  • Publication number: 20240033036
    Abstract: To enhance safety of interventional procedures, a method for monitoring an interventional procedure that is carried out using an artificial object, such as a catheter, is provided. At least one image of the interventional procedure is acquired. The at least one image is analyzed automatically with regard to a specified anomalous feature relating to a geometry and/or a time-dependent movement parameter and/or a flow behavior of the artificial object. A complication signal is automatically generated only if the specified anomalous feature is detected in the at least one image.

  • Patent number: 7875121
    Abstract: A pipe maintenance method and device is particularly suited for maintaining a pipe of a gas-insulated high-voltage line with a particle trap system extending along the pipe. The novel method enables poorly accessible sections to be reached. To this end, a maintenance unit is displaced along the particle trap system, and it is guided thereby.

  • Publication number: 20080157785
    Abstract: The invention relates to a long body, for example a gas-insulated electric line (1), the condition of which is tested by an electronic signal that is supplied to the body and then received by a receiver unit. The electronic signal has a predefined duration and form. The receiver unit receives signals, evaluates them in terms of duration and/or form and identifies the signals as the supplied signals or discards them as interference signals.

  • Publication number: 20060115189
    Abstract: A roller bearing having at least one rotatable roller is used to move an elongated body. The elongated body rests on the rotatable roller and can be moved transversely with respect to the axis of rotation of the roller. In order to prevent the body (4) becoming jammed on the roller, the rotatable roller can be pivoted about an axis which is oriented approximately parallel to the direction of movement of the body.

  • Patent number: 6796543
    Abstract: A solenoid valve for controlling a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine, including an electromagnet, a movable armature featuring an armature plate and an armature pin, as well as a control valve member, which is moved with the armature and cooperates with a valve seat, for opening and closing a fuel discharge passage of a control pressure chamber of the fuel injector, the armature plate being supported on the armature pin, so that it is slidably movable in the closing direction of the control valve member under the action of its inertial mass, against the elastic force of a return spring that acts upon the armature plate; and including a hydraulic damping device which permits damping of a post-oscillation of the armature plate during its dynamic sliding on the armature pin.

  • Publication number: 20040004086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing container and a method of using the dispensing container that makes it possible to remove liquid, suspended, viscous or pasty contents from the container such that there is no excess of air within the container during storage and removal of the container contents and so that contact with the surrounding atmosphere is minimized. The dispensing container includes a hollow body, sealed at one end by a sliding element and at the other end by a membrane fastened on the hollow body. During the removal of the contents through the membrane, the sliding element is displaced toward the membrane by a vacuum generated by removal of some of the contents from the container.
