  • Publication number: 20240141590
    Abstract: A method for producing a web of fibrous material, the method including the steps of: forming the web by a dry-laying process; pressing and consolidating the web in a press nip while the web lies between a first support element and a second support element, a contact surface of the first support element and a contact surface of the second support element respectively facing the web; forming at least one low-pressure zone and at least one high-pressure zone in the web by way of the contact surface of the first support element; and exerting upon the web in the at least one high-pressure zone a pressure of more than 10 MPa.

  • Publication number: 20240070867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peripheral perfusion measurement. In order to provide more detailed peripheral perfusion characteristics for better knowledge about a current situation, a device (10) for peripheral perfusion measurement is provided that comprises an image data input (12), a data processor (14) and an output interface (16). The image data input receives at least one perfusion angiographic 2D X-ray image of a region of interest of a subject's foot and a 3D foot-model comprising spatial perfusion-related parameters. The data processor registers the 3D foot-model with the foot in the at least one perfusion angiographic X-ray image. The registering comprises a pose-estimation of the foot in the 2D X-ray image. The information is mapped between the 2D image and the 3D foot-model based on the pose-estimation. Image processing modification instructions are identified based on the mapped information.

  • Publication number: 20230404495
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for positioning a subject in medical imaging, comprising: receiving a first image (20) of a region of interest (14, 16) of the subject (S10); determining first positioning data based on the first image (20), wherein the first positioning data indicates an alignment of the region of interest (14, 16) relative to a first image acquisition unit used to acquire the first image (20) (S20); determining guidance data based on the first positioning data, wherein the guidance data comprises a guidance for an alignment of the region of interest (14, 16) relative to a second image acquisition unit used to acquire a second image (60) from a current alignment to a target alignment, wherein the target alignment is to correspond to that derived from the first positioning data (S30); providing the guidance data for acquiring the second image (60) (S40).

  • Publication number: 20230223136
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for analysis of medical image data, which represents a two-dimensional or three-dimensional medical image. The system is configured to read and/or determine, for the medical image, a plurality of image quality metrics and to determine a combined quality metrics based on the image quality metrics. The system is further configured so that the determination of the combined quality metrics takes into account an interaction between the image quality metrics in their combined effect on the combined quality metrics.

  • Patent number: 11499899
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wear component of a milling machine, to a milling machine equipped with such a wear component, and to a method for determining the wear on a wear component. The wear component has associated with it at least one contactlessly readable electronic component for determining the wear on the wear component. Provision is made according to the present invention that at least one sensor is connected to at least one contactlessly readable electronic component for the transfer of data; that the contactlessly readable electronic component is embodied to receive measured data of the sensor and furnish them for contactless reading; and that at least one measurement portion of the sensor is guided, along at least one wear direction to be monitored, into a wear region or along the wear region of the wear component. The invention makes possible a better milling result as a result of optimized maintenance.

  • Patent number: 11433520
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for installing a bit on and/or deinstalling a bit from a bit holder system of a milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, having at least one initiator with which installation and/or deinstallation of a bit is initiated. Provision is made that the tool comprises a detection device having at least one counting device; and that the detection device is designed to detect a number of bits deinstalled using the tool and/or a number of bits installed using the tool. The invention also relates to a corresponding bit holder system and to a method for monitoring wear. With the tool and the bit holder system, additional information regarding bit changes that have been carried out is made available to a user.
