  • Publication number: 20100130856
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for elastographically examining tissue. Said method comprises the following steps: at least one mechanical wave that oscillates primarily or exclusively perpendicular to the direction of propagation thereof is excited in the tissue (31) which has first elastic properties at least at one first point in time and second elastic properties differing from the first elastic properties at least at one second point in time; and a first deflection or deflection rate of an oscillation of the wave is determined at the first point in time as a measure of the first elastic properties, and a second deflection or deflection rate of an oscillation of the wave is determined at the second point in time as a measure of the second elastic properties. The invention further relates to an apparatus for elastographically examining tissue.

  • Patent number: 7624854
    Abstract: An item sorting system includes at least three modules for processing items requiring sorting, a conveyor line to transport the items in a first transport path from the first to the second and to the third module, and a bypass to transport items requiring sorting in a second transport path from the first to the third module thereby bypassing the second module. A control unit sets a spacing between the items in the conveyor line upstream of the bypass as a function of an activation of the bypass. The bypass is to mitigate stresses to which items are exposed when the item sorting system is used in a plurality of passes with different functions.

  • Publication number: 20080307639
    Abstract: The invention relates to a laying vehicle for laying electric lines (8) in the grooves (6) of an inductor (4), for example a longitudinal stator of a maglev railway. The laying vehicle contains a first, preceding vehicle part (11) comprising a bending and offset unit (14) for configuring winding undulations, a second following vehicle part (16) comprising a pressing station (18) for pressing limbs (8a) of the undulations into the grooves (6), the second vehicle part (16) being displaceable in relation to the first vehicle part (11) and a slide (15) that is coupled in a driven manner to the first vehicle part (11), for transferring the undulations to the second vehicle part (16). According to the invention, a delivery unit (27), which is coupled to the second vehicle part (16), is located between the slide (15) and the pressing station (18), said unit receiving the limbs (8a) from the slide (15) and transferring them to the pressing station (18) at essentially constant intervals.
