Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting settings of an ultrasound exam based on monitoring of the exam with an optical camera. One example method includes acquiring images of an ultrasound exam via a camera, analyzing the acquired images in real-time to build a spatial exam model, and adjusting settings of the ultrasound exam in real-time based on the spatial exam model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the fluidic inline-treatment of flat substrates with at least one process module. In particular, the invention relates to such a treatment during the gentle and controlled transport of the substrates, wherein the treatment can also just relate to the transport of the substrates. According to the invention, a process module 1 is provided which comprises a treatment chamber 2 having at least one treatment surface 7A being substantially horizontally arranged in a treatment plane 5 and being designed for the formation of a lower fluid cushion 6A, wherein two openings in the form of entry 3 and exit 4 for the linear feed-through of the substrates 22 in the same plane are assigned to the treatment surface 7A, and at least one feed device with at least one catch 10 for the controlled feed 9 of the substrates 22 within the treatment chamber 2. Furthermore, the invention provides a method using the apparatus according to the invention.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards polymerizable dichroic azo dyes comprising azo-chromophores having at least one standard mesogenic ring system attached to said chromophores and at least one polymerizable group leading to dyes having sufficient solubilty and a very high order parameter.

Abstract: A continuously blockable adjustment device for fixing two structural elements moveable in relation to one another, in particular a body of the motor vehicle and a door or flap of the motor vehicle moveable in relation to the body of the motor vehicle, includes a piston/cylinder unit with a cylinder, a piston displaceable axially in the cylinder, and a piston rod led out of the cylinder. The piston/cylinder unit has a piston-rod-side attachment element for connection to a first of the structural elements and a cylinder-side attachment element for connection to the second of the structural elements. A bracket at least partially engaging over the piston/cylinder unit axially is provided. The bracket 12 is fastenable in a first bracket end region to one of the two structural elements and, in a second bracket end region facing away from the first bracket end region, is tied to the piston-rod-side attachment element or the cylinder-side attachment element of the piston/cylinder unit.
