Abstract: A disc brake, in particular for a commercial vehicle, has functional components that can be reused after use and subsequent examination for operational safety. The disc brake is designed in such a way that at least each of the safety-relevant functional components is equipped with at least one indicator, the operation-related service life of which is less than the safety-relevant ranges of the functional components.

Abstract: A disc brake includes a brake caliper, in which two brake pads can be pressed against a brake disc when in operation. A brake pad on the action side is actuatable via a brake plunger of a brake application device. The brake plunger is led through an opening of a closure cover that closes a receiving chamber of the brake caliper. A bellows rests against the brake plunger and, on the other side, against the closure cover to seal the receiving chamber. A secondary seal is retained on the closure cover, which secondary seal is arranged concentrically to the bellows and rests against the brake plunger. The secondary seal is configured to rest slidingly against the brake plunger.

Abstract: A brake caliper of a disk brake for a utility vehicle is provided. The brake caliper includes tension braces which are arranged substantially parallel and at a distance from each other, straddling a brake disk and connecting receptacles for functional parts arranged on both sides of the brake disk. One receptacle forms a caliper back and the other receptacle forms a housing having a lever dome formed thereon. The brake caliper includes at least one replaceable service-related wear protection element fastened to areas of potential wear during in-service use of the brake caliper, such as at the lower side of the leading tension brace and at least partially around the lever dome.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the rapid image processing of medical images, in particular fluoroscopic image recordings using image-modifying image processing algorithms on an image computer. With this method, a first part of the image processing algorithms is executed on a graphics processor of a graphics card and a second remaining part is executed on a master processor of the image computer. This division, for which standard hardware components are to be used, allows the omission of complex special developments of the hardware for the image computer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the rapid image processing of two-dimensional images, in particular medical image recordings using image-modifying image processing algorithms, with which image processing is executed at least partially on a graphics card comprising at least one pixel shader unit and at least one vertex shader unit. With this method, the two-dimensional images are first transformed into three-dimensional representations, with which a first part of the image processing algorithms is executed on the vertex shader unit, and subsequently transformed back into two-dimensional representations, with which a second part of the image processing algorithms is executed on the pixel shader unit. The artificial generation of the three-dimensional representation from the two-dimensional images advantageously allows the vertex shader unit of the graphics card to be used for image processing, so that the computing capacity of the graphics card can be optimally utilized.

Abstract: The invention discloses a laser application set, which is an interventional application set for minimum invasive, laser-induced thermotherapy of soft-tissue tumors.

Abstract: A laser application set, which is an interventional application set for minimum invasive, laser-induced thermotherapy of soft-tissue tumors is disclosed. The laser application set is designed in such a manner that an introductor tube (6) with a stylet (12) is provided and accommodates a tunneled catheter (17) with an internal stylet (20).
