  • Patent number: 7710641
    Abstract: A tube for a microscope includes an adaptation interface, a rotatable operator interface, a beam deflecting device, and a rotatable beam deflecting unit. The beam deflecting device includes a beam-splitting device. A rotation of the operator interface is constrainedly coupled to a rotation of the beam deflecting unit. The beam deflecting device deflects, in the direction of the beam deflecting unit, a light beam coming from the adaptation interface.

  • Patent number: 7628891
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web including a press section and a drying section. The press section includes a central roll around which an at least substantially impermeable belt wraps, the fibrous web being removed from this impermeable belt and fed to the drying section. In this case, as viewed in the web running direction, the first drying group of the drying section includes at most three drying cylinders. In the exit region of the first drying cylinder of the first drying group, in which the fibrous web runs off the drying cylinder together with a permeable circulating belt or is removed from the drying cylinder by such a permeable circulating belt, a removal zone to which vacuum is applied is provided on the side of the permeable circulating belt that faces away from the fibrous web.

  • Patent number: 7583435
    Abstract: The application relates to an ergonomic tube for a microscope. A binocular head is provided on the tube. A deflection element is provided in the tube and a deflection mirror is assigned to the element, the mirror being located behind the optical path of the lens, when viewed from the user's position. A single tube-lens system is positioned in the optical path of the tube. A modification to the inclination of the oclar optical path in relation to the horizontal (H) by a value ?causes the position of the deflection mirror to be modified by an angle ?/2.

  • Patent number: 7473913
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gantry system for a particle therapy facility, having a beam guidance gantry which has elements for beam guidance, and having a measurement gantry which has a device for beam monitoring. The measurement gantry and beam guidance gantry are thus of a mutually independent design and are, in particular, arranged in a mutually concentric manner. A gantry system of this kind is inter alia less susceptible to mechanical deviations during rotation of the beam guidance gantry.

  • Patent number: 7272942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for purifying exhaust gas, especially a solvent-containing exhaust gas from refrigerator recycling, wherein the dried, pressurized exhaust gas is cryogenically condensed, the condensed components are separated from the remaining exhaust gas, the cold and purified pressurized exhaust gas is passed through an adsorber to adsorbe the remaining condensed components, the adsorber is purged with a warmed gas stream, namely either a warmed inert gas stream or the purified exhaust gas respectively at reduced pressure, and the desorbed gas is recycled.

  • Patent number: 6330115
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microscope eyepiece with theoretically reduced astigmatism in a compensating optical system. The inventive eyepiece has 10× magnification, a sight field (SFZ)≦25 and a Petzval sum (SP) of 0.014≦SP≦0.021. Said eyepiece comprises a special field lens placed in front of a field stop and a negative lens in the eye lens section placed behind said field stop. The inventive field lens is embodied in the form of a simple, thick, positively diffracting meniscus which is convex in relation to the field stop and provided with the following field lens factor: 0.95≦beta′≦1.05. The eye lens section can be displaced in relation to the field stop to enable diotropic adjustment. Special, advantageous embodiments of the field lens and examples of embodiments of the microscope eyepiece, complete with structural data, are described.

  • Patent number: 5472667
    Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for recovering a sterilizing gas, in particular ethylene oxide, materials to be sterilized are sterilized with the sterilizing gas in a sterilizing chamber; the sterilizing gas/air mixture withdrawn from the sterilizing chamber is predried in a precooler; the predried sterilizing gas/air mixture is freed from residual moisture in a drier, the sterilizing gas liquefied in a low-temperature condenser and stored in a storage container until reuse in the sterilizing chamber. The sterilizing and the entire recovery of the sterilizing gas takes place at pressures beneath the atmospheric pressure surrounding the apparatus.
