Abstract: The present invention relates to a crane boom for transport as container freight which can be assembled from a plurality of boom parts which each have coupling pieces at the front face end for the putting together of the boom parts, wherein the boom parts each have at least one bottom chord and can be placed next to one another such that the bottom chords of the boom parts together form a continuous runway free of offset and faults for a crab. The invention further relates to a transport apparatus for the transport of boom parts of a crane boom of this type as container freight. In accordance with the invention, the boom parts of the crane boom, despite the identical bottom chord track dimensions which provide a runway for a normal crab on the bottom chords largely free of offset and faults, have different cross-sections such that the boom parts can be pushed into one another for the purpose of transport, whereby the space in the boom parts is also utilized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program product for evaluating medical image data sets, which consists of two-dimensional section images, in particular MR images, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K1, K2, . . . Kn) and at least one two-dimensional longitudinal section (L1) of a target region (1) of a human or animal body are recorded and stored, a longitudinal axis (5) and points of intersection (6) are determined at the points at which the longitudinal axis (5) extends through the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K1, K2 . . . Kn) and a reduced data volume (7) is generated, which is composed of partial cross-sections (k1, k2, . . . kn), which are generated by means of the points of intersection (6) and scaling factors (a1, a2, b1, b2) from the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K1, K2, . . . Kn).

Abstract: A laser beam position control apparatus for a CNC laser equipped machine tool, that will automatically maintain precise alignment of the beam path, though the machine may be operating in a non-uniform temperature environment. The apparatus compensates for small deviations in flatness of machine mounting surfaces by steering the laser beam. The laser beam control apparatus includes a laser beam position sensor for mounting in the beam path of the machine tool and that communicates with a signal processor that in turn communicates with at least one drive apparatus that controls at least one actuator capable of moving an object to steer the laser beam.

Abstract: A hub for aligning a plurality of spokes on a spoked wheel. The hub has a cylindrical hub sleeve and a hub axis extending centrally through the hub sleeve. The hub includes a flange-type hub head disposed at one end of the hub sleeve and extending circumferentially about the hub axis. The hub head defines a plurality of guide slots, each of the plurality of spoke guide slots being dimensioned and configured to receive and orient each of the plurality of spokes along a radial plane of the hub head such that the plurality of spokes define a plurality of tangent lines around an imaginary circle centered at the hub axis and that the tangent lines form a polygon centered at the hub axis.

Abstract: A security garment hanger (2) having a central body portion (4) formed with a hook (14) and a garment clamping arm (24) which operates to clamp a garment to the body portion, the garment hanger includes a hook closure member (18) and a combination lock (40), the arrangement being such that the combination lock (40) needs to be opened before the hook closure member can be opened to permit removal of the hanger from a hanging rail (30) and wherein, opening of the hook closure member (18) also permits opening of the garment clamping arm (24) so that the garment can be removed from the hanger.

Abstract: A mortar-anchored system for fastening to supports and lightweight building blocks, perforated bricks or masonry made of aerated concrete. The mortar-anchored system includes a bush segment for engaging the side walls of a wall bore hole in the building material and having a hollow center for insertion of mortar. A fastening screw is then inserted through the opening in the bush segment into the wall bore hole and is then anchored when the mortar dries.

Abstract: A facade anchor for incorporation into mutually aligned bore holes of a main wall and a bracket-mounted facade, consisting of an anchoring element (22) which extends from the bore hole base to the front of the facade, a pipe which extends from the bore hole inlet to the footing wall for injecting mortar, with the pipe having outlet openings (28) for mortar which are arranged inside the facade bore hole, and also of lamellar seals surrounding the pipe (22) on the inlets and outlets of the bore holes of the footing wall and facade, and of a nonuniform surface of the anchoring element for improving the bond of the injected mortar.
