Abstract: When detecting particulate radiation, such as electrons, with a pixelated detector, a cloud of electron/hole pairs is formed in the detector. Using the signal caused by this cloud of electron/hole pairs, a position of the impact is estimated. When the size of the cloud is comparable to the pixel size, or much smaller, the estimated position shows a strong bias to the center of the pixel and the corners, as well to the middle of the borders. This hinders forming an image with super-resolution. By shifting the position or by attributing the electron to several sub-pixels this bias can be countered, resulting in a more truthful representation.

Abstract: A crankshaft (6) is rotated about its axis (7), and all of its crankpins (28, 29, 30), which each respectively have an eccentricity (e) relative to the axis (7), are simultaneously rotary milled by respective allocated rotary milling cutters (34, 35, 36) of a milling cutter set (12). The individual milling cutters (34, 35, 36) each respectively have an eccentricity (e) corresponding to the eccentricity of the respective crankpin that is allocated to be machined by the respective milling cutter. Furthermore, the milling cutter set (12) is rotated at the same rotational speed, i.e. with a rotational speed ratio of 1:1, relative to the rotating crankshaft, while simultaneously the milling cutter set is moved in the X-direction toward the crank-shaft axis to achieve a feed advance.

Abstract: A crankshaft (6) is rotated about its axis (7), and all of its crankpins (28, 29, 30), which each respectively have an eccentricity (e) relative to the axis (7), and all of its main bearing pins (62, 63, 64, 65), which each have non-eccentric cylindrical surfaces, are simultaneously rotary milled by respective first and second allocated rotary milling cutters (34, 35, 36, 70, 71, 72, 73) of a milling cutter set (12). The individual first milling cutters (34, 35, 36) each respectively have an eccentricity (e) corresponding to the eccentricity of the respective crankpin that is to be machined by the respective first milling cutter, while the second milling cutters are non-eccentric circular cutters. The milling cutter set (12) is rotated at the same rotational speed, i.e. with a rotational speed ratio of 1:1, relative to the rotating crankshaft, while simultaneously the milling cutter set is moved in the X-direction toward the crankshaft axis to achieve a feed advance.

Abstract: A machine for hard-rolling a workpiece such as a crankshaft includes a drive apparatus (7) for rotating the crankshaft (8, 113), suspension apparatuses (9 to 17), hard-rolling devices (18 to 26, 111) movably supported by the suspension apparatuses, and a crankshaft transport apparatus (100). Each hard rolling device is a scissors jaw including two scissors arms (46, 47, 114, 115), with respective hardening roller heads (66 to 69, 118) and respective opposite counter-support heads (74, 119) mounted on the upper ends of the scissors arms facing the crankshaft. Each suspension apparatus (9 to 17) is slidably adjustable along the rotation axis (27) of the drive apparatus (7). A drive arrangement (49, 122) is connected to the lower ends of the scissors arms directed away from the crankshaft, for closing and opening the scissors arms to a maximum opening width (59, 130) that is larger than twice the maximum structural radius (60, 131) of the crankshaft.

Abstract: A burner for burning liquid or gaseous fuels, especially heavy heating oil. A central fuel lance is surrounded by two annular channels that supply primary and secondary combustion air. The annular channels are surrounded by several outer fuel lances that are distributed along the arc of a circle and can optionally be displaced axially and by air nozzles that convey tertiary combustion air. The object is to burn fuel at a low output of pollutants in systems with a narrow combustion space. The burner has an annular flue-gas channel between the outer annular channel and the air nozzles. The burner opens into a chamber that is jacketed in ceramic and that a heat exchanger (flame tube) extends out of. Other nozzles that convey a component of the flow of tertiary air are mounted in the wall of the chamber.
