Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for powering up a medical device powered by a battery. The method includes executing an initial battery test. In the initial battery test, a difference voltage between a battery voltage measured without and with a test load is determined. The test load is favorably dimensioned not to significantly stress the battery. The difference voltage is compared with a difference voltage threshold, the difference voltage threshold being predefined in dependence of the no-test-load voltage. The method further includes providing an alarm if the difference voltage is above the difference voltage threshold. The present disclosure further concerns a medical device that implements the method and a method for determining the relation between the difference voltage and the difference voltage threshold. The disclosure can be used to ensure that an alarm is provided if a newly inserted battery is too weak to power the medical device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a deposition system are provided to deposit a thin coating layer on flat substrates, such as semiconductors or panels. In an embodiment, liquid supplied rollers accepting liquid media provide liquid chemicals to the substrates for coating the substrates. The liquid delivery system can control the flow and the pressure of the liquid to achieve optimum process condition with minimum excess waste. In another embodiment, rollers with non-uniform distribution of liquid media provide a non-uniform thickness profile on the substrates, which can be used to compensate for the non-uniformity of subsequent processes.

Abstract: A device for installing the lower and upper jib support of an adjustable auxiliary boom. The device includes a setup frame which is connected to the lower jib support a tie rod section one end of which can be connected to the hoist cable of the main hoisting gear whereas the other end is hinged to the top of the lower jib support and a tensile member section between the lower jib support and the upper jib support.

Abstract: The transport apparatus has a device for determining the transport speed of a tape-type medium. A linear array sensor is provided, which extends along the transport direction. Furthermore, means are provided in order to image a region of the medium onto the linear array sensor. A signal processing circuit connected to the linear array sensor determines the transport speed of the medium from the output signals of the linear array sensor.

Abstract: A crane includes a telescopic jib having telescopic jib sections and a base jib. The telescopic sections are arranged so that they can be axially moved into and out of the base jib individually. Locking pins are used hold the telescopic sections in place once they are in the required position. A hydraulic piston-cylinder unit arranged in the telescopic jib can push or pull individual jib sections when the respective locking bolts are removed. The movable portion of the piston-cylinder unit has two securing and locking units located at opposing ends of the movable portion. To move the jib section, one of the securing and locking units is connected to the jib section to be moved and the movement of the movable portions pushed or pulls the telescopic section. Once the jib section is moved to a desired position, the locking pin is reinserted to hold the position of the jib section. Since there are two securing and locking units, the piston-cylinder unit is approximately half the length of the telescopic section.
