  • Patent number: 10769763
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for at least symbolically reconstructing a reconstruction data set of at least one vessel segment in a vessel tree of a patient. Input data for the reconstruction comprises at least two two-dimensional angiographic projection images taken in different acquisition geometries. At least one first angiographic projection image showing the vessel segment is acquired. An evaluation measure is automatically determined for each first angiographic projection image using three-dimensional preliminary information for the vessel segment. The evaluation measure describes the suitability of the at least one angiographic projection image for reconstructing the reconstruction data set. When a quality criterion evaluating the evaluation measure is not fulfilled, at least one additional acquisition geometry is determined using the three-dimensional preliminary information and/or the evaluation measure.

  • Publication number: 20200256380
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger having a hydrodynamic plain bearing having a rotor and a stator, the rotor being rotatable with respect to the stator, the rotor bearing surface being located opposite a counter-surface of the stator in order to generate hydrodynamic pressure in the region of a converging gap. In such a hydrodynamic plain bearing, the application properties can be improved by the fact that the rotor bearing surface and/or the counter-surface constitutes in a section view, in the context of a section along and through the rotation axis, a continuous bearing contour that is constituted from convex or concave curvatures and/or from at least two contour segments that are embodied as straight lines and/or curvatures. The invention also relates to a hydrodynamic plain bearing or bearing arrangement having such a plain bearing.

  • Publication number: 20200166131
    Abstract: A parking lock for a transmission of a motor vehicle may include a park gear rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an actuation device adjustable into a locking position and an unlocking position radially relative to the axis of rotation. In the unlocking position, rotating of the park gear may be possible, and in the locking position, rotating of the park gear may be prevented by way of positive locking. The actuation device may include a shifting drum and a locking lever, wherein the shifting drum may be rotatable about a guiding axis that is radial relative to the axis of rotation. The locking lever, by way of a guide track formed in the shifting drum, may interact with the guide track so that when the shifting drum is rotated, the locking lever may be guidable by the guide track radially relative to the axis of rotation and parallel to the guiding axis, and thereby the actuation device may be adjustable into the locking position and into the unlocking position.
