  • Patent number: 8692207
    Abstract: A scintillator-photosensor sandwich is generated by gluing a first support frame onto an adhesive layer (covered with a protective film on the side facing the adhesive layer, the first frame having a size that (in terms of area) surrounds the scintillator-photosensor sandwich to be produced. The first support frame is placed onto a flat base that supports a first function layer (either a scintillator layer or a photosensor layer). The adhesive layer supported on the first support frame and the first function layer are laminarly assembled. The protective film is removed from the adhesive layer and a second function layer (the other of the scintillator layer or the photosensor layer not used as the first function layer) is assembled with the first function layer with the interposed adhesive layer.

  • Publication number: 20120132811
    Abstract: In a method to produce a scintillator-photosensor sandwich for use in a pixel-resolving radiation detector for ionizing radiation, either a scintillator layer or a photosensor layer can respectively be the first and second function layers (alternatively). A transfer adhesive tape carries an adhesive layer having an exposed first side and a second side covered by protective film. The exposed side of the adhesive layer is applied onto a first of the function layers. A first lamination of the adhesive layer including the protective film onto the first function layer is implemented. The protective film is removed. A second of the function layers is then placed in contact with the second side of the adhesive layer that is situated on the first of the function layers. A second lamination of the two function layers with the adhesive layer situated between them is implemented.

  • Publication number: 20120132816
    Abstract: A scintillator layer is applied onto a photosensor layer to produce an x-ray detector or an x-ray detector element for imaging detection of ionizing radiation. The production process is improved by, in the production of the scintillator layer, an adhesive layer with a protective layer is applied onto the scintillator layer. This can occur layer by layer or a transfer adhesive tape that already includes the protective layer as a protective film can also be used.

  • Patent number: 7926640
    Abstract: In a haulage device for the continuous removal of material excavated below ground, which can be continuously slaved between a mining machine (8) and a continuous road haulage means (2) over a defined path and narrow curve radii of the mining machine (8) while continuously hauling without interruption, the haulage device is configured as a closed-belt conveyor (9) which is movable on a suspended rail system (3), whose receiving end adjacent the mining machine (8) is coupled with a movable transfer conveyor (7) and whose end facing away from the mining machine (8) and adjacent the continuous road haulage means (2) is connected with a clamping device exerting a defined tensile stress over a defined displacement path of the transfer end of the closed-belt conveyor (8) in a displaceable transfer position onto the continuous road haulage means (2).

  • Publication number: 20110082360
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an EEG system comprising of sensors which are utilized to gather an electromagnetic signal from a patient; a signal processing system; and a computer system. The computer system is configured to support multiple threads of execution. The computer system initiates a first thread of execution, a measurement module, where the data is filtered and in some cases averaged. Typically, the data is filtered for a particular latency period. Once the data has been filtered and averaged, the result is given to a second thread of execution, the source reconstruction module, which then proceeds to generate a source reconstruction for the trial. The measurement module then acquires and processes new electromagnetic data from a new trial while the source reconstruction is being performed on the most recent trial.

  • Patent number: 7840039
    Abstract: The present invention involves the creation of an appropriate model and the use of that model to generate a best fit dipole represented by a vector (x, y, z). Once the best fit dipole is generated, a best fit field distribution and a field distribution of a modified dipole is created. Using a difference between the field distributions, a Singular Value Decomposition is used to compute the main axes of the confidence ellipsoids.

  • Publication number: 20100172605
    Abstract: A rolling bearing device, which has a first bearing ring, a second bearing ring, rolling bodies in a pathway region that is defined between the two bearing rings, a cage device for separating the rolling bodies, and a sensor system for generating a sensor signal relating to the relative rotation of the inner ring in relation to the outer ring. The sensor system is embodied in such a way that the sensor signal is collected on the basis of an interaction effect between a signal tapping element and a structure rotating with the cage device. Thus, it is advantageously possible to create rolling bearing devices which have an integrated sensor system and outer dimensions which correspond essentially to the standard outer dimensions for such rolling bearing devices. Moreover, standard rolling bearings can be modified to form inventive rolling bearings by replacement of the bearing sealing ring.
