  • Patent number: 8964359
    Abstract: A medical care unit provides power supply or data transmission in medical apparatuses. In particular, current consumers and data transmission apparatuses are slidable along a coupling device of the medical care unit. The medical care unit includes an oblong support that includes the coupling device, which extend along the support and include at least two electrically insulated bus bars continuously extending in the coupling device. At least two bus bars are formed as power supply bus bars, at least one bus bar is formed as a data transmission bus bar, the coupling device as a hollow bar is formed with an opening along its longitudinal direction, and the power supply bus bars and the data transmission bus bars are arranged inside the hollow bar.

  • Patent number: 7154623
    Abstract: Apparatus (1) for generating images includes a reading device (2, 7), an output device (22, 26), a sorting device (9) and a control device (21). Image information of several images (A1 to A6, AX, AY) is read from input media and image data is produced that contains the read image information. The input media are assigned to several image production orders. Using the output device (22, 26), the image information that has been transferred to this device is output onto recording material. The input media are physically sorted in the sorting device (9) by order according to at least one prescribed criterion. Using the control device (21) the sequence for transferring the image data of images can then be determined in dependence upon the previously carried out sorting by order of the read input media.

  • Patent number: 5950951
    Abstract: A device for positioning the spool of a cartridge for a roll of photographic film. The film is provided with holes, at its end, that interact with catches attached to the spool. Detachment from, or attachment to, the spool, is only possible at a particular orientation of the spool. A shaft is provided which can be interlockingly connected with the spool in a predetermined orientation. A guide block is displaceable, being operative, directly or indirectly, for contacting with the shaft. It reorients the shaft to the desired position during displacement so that the film can be detached from the spool or attached to the spool.

  • Patent number: 5708905
    Abstract: A device for automatic removal of a photographic film from a cartridge, in which the film is rolled up on a spool. The feed channel for the cartridge is disposed so that the cartridge moves through the channel by its own weight in the direction of its spool axis. The channel has a cross section that permits admission of the cartridge in only one direction. The device includes a mechanism to turn the cartridge into a position in which the spool axis is aligned horizontally. The devices also includes a mechanism for unwinding and separating the film from the spool in a light-impervious housing. A mechanism turns the empty cartridge so that its spool axis is vertical, with a prescribed orientation. A replaceable magazine sequentially collects and orders a plurality of empty cartridges.
