Abstract: A diode laser bar assembly is formed to exhibit a relatively low thermal resistance, which also providing an increased range of conditions over which the internal stress conditions may be managed. In particular, the submount configuration of the prior art is replaced by a pair of platelets, disposed above and below the diode laser bar so as to form a “sandwich” structure. The bottom platelet is disposed between the heatsink (cooler) and the diode laser bar. Thus, the bottom platelet may be relatively thin, creating a low thermal resistance configuration. The combination of the top and bottom platelets provides the ability to create various configurations and designs that best accommodate stress conditions for a particular situation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of carrying out measurements with penetrating radiation on a hollow object comprising at least one wall surrounding an inner space of the object, said wall comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, said method at least being carried out for determining a position and shape of at least a portion of the inner surface of the wall.

Abstract: An installation for producing hot-rolled steel strip, including a continuous casting machine, a shear, a soaking furnace, a descaler, possibly a roughing train, a finishing train including a multi-stand rolling mill or Steckel mill, a roller table with a cooling zone, and a coiling reel for the hot strip. The casting line and the pass line are arranged parallel or approximately parallel to each other so that the casting direction and the rolling direction are oriented opposite each other and are connected with each other by a reheating furnace. The reheating furnace is a rocker-bar hearth furnace or a walking-beam furnace. The distance between the casting line and the pass line is designed so that a sufficient residence and buffering time for the thin slabs in the reheating furnace is guaranteed. The reheating furnace is designed to hold from three to twelve slabs.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an arrangement for the contactless transmission of first electrical signals, second electrical signals and electrical energies between a fixed gantry part of a computed tomography system and a gantry part that may be rotated around an axis of rotation. The arrangement includes a first annular-shaped carrier ring arranged on the rotatable gantry part, at least a first conductor element arranged in or on the first annular-shaped carrier ring to receive the electrical energy, and at least a second conductor element arranged in or on the first annular-shaped carrier ring to output the first electrical signals.

Abstract: A control device for controlling a machine tool which can be used to drive tools includes a memory for storing a movement limit value which is respectively assigned to the tools and is specific to the respective tool. A desired value generating unit generates desired values for controlling the movement of the tool. The desired values are limited by a limiting unit on the basis of the assigned movement limit value in such a manner that the movement limit value is not exceeded when moving the tool.
