Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device for supporting the hands of a patient resting on an examination couch. In accordance with the invention, the holding device for supporting the hands of a patient resting on an examination couch comprises gripping zones which are distanced from one another, said gripping zones each being grippable with a hand of the patient, with the holding device being moveable independently of further devices surrounding the patient.

Abstract: A module of a support apparatus (5) of a medical examination and treatment device, in particular of a magnetic resonance device (3), comprises the following features: a base unit (52) and a support unit (54) to support an examination object (1), which can travel in the horizontal direction in respect of the base unit (52), and a bracket unit (70) acting between the base unit (52) and the support unit (54), it being possible to move said bracket unit (70) against the base unit (52) and the support unit (54) and with which the support unit (54) can travel beyond the base unit (52).

Abstract: Transport cart/patient table system for transferring an exchangeable slab of the patient table, which slab can be moved by means of a lifting arrangement, between the table and the transport cart, whereby the transport cart is moved under the patient table for the transfer of the exchangeable slab, has a first guide arranged on the transport cart and a second guide arranged on the patient table, which can be brought to engage one another as the cart is moved under the table. The guides engage in such a way to allow the transport cart to be pivotable and to be displaced longitudinally, while the engaged guides serve to guide the transport cart.

Abstract: A protective circuit for a power pack for exciting or de-exciting a superconducting system has a voltage monitoring circuit at the output of the power pack. A switch in parallel to the output of the power pack is closed by the voltage monitoring circuit as soon as output voltage exceeds a predetermined value in a direction opposite a supply voltage of the power pack. During a malfunction, the switch closes and conducts the current which is being driven by the superconducting coil system. The protective circuit can be utilized in devices such as superconducting magnets of a tomography apparatus.

Abstract: Particularly for diabetes therapy, it is desirable to continuously infuse insulin in different rates into the body of the patient, because the insulin requirements of the diabetic are subject to great fluctuations. Therefore, a control device serves as the program transmitter for a microdosing unit. The control device for the microdosing unit has memory means for a prescribable control program allocated to it, whereby the control program can be called up directly by the patient at the control device. The program sequence of the infusion is started only by means of the dialing-up of a plurality of insulin units to be delivered into the body or of relevant food values taken in by the patient with a meal and of a starting time (T.sub.1, T.sub.2). In addition, specific base rates of the infusion can be selected by the patient. With the invention device, diabetes patients can call up the necessary insulin administration according to short programs at meals.

Abstract: Particularly for diabetes therapy, it is desirable to continuously infuse insulin in varying installments into the body of the patient. A control device serves as a program transmitter for a microdosing unit. The physician should be able to pre-program the daily profile of the infusion and, if necessary, to change it. According to the disclosure, at least the control device for the microdosing unit has memory means for a prescribable control program allocated to it, whereby the control program is pre-programmable in discrete time steps by an external programming device corresponding with a 24 hour daily sequence. The control device is detachably connected directly with the programming device or is coupled therewith by means of a program carrier or a programmed memory chip solely for a rapid transfer of the pre-programmed control program into the internal memory means of the control device.
