Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a medium voltage switchgear includes an evaporator section; a fluid conduit; and a condenser section. The evaporator section surrounds a current carrying contact and is configured such that fluid within the evaporator section can contact an outer surface of the current carrying contact. The evaporator section is fluidly connected to the fluid conduit. At least part of the evaporator section is electrically insulating and is connected to the fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is fluidly connected to the condenser section. In use, a working fluid in the evaporator section is heated to a vapor state, the vapor is transferred by the fluid conduit to the condenser section, and the vapor in the condenser section is condensed to the working fluid. The working fluid is passively returned to the evaporator section.

Abstract: A gasket is described herein. The gasket might be used between internal combustion engine components. The gasket might be comprised of metal. The gasket might have several layers including a sealing layer and a compression layer. The gasket includes sections having different radii of curvature. The different radii of curvature might have particular relationships to one another.

Abstract: A system for generating MR images for segmentation and/or use in correcting attenuation in subsequent images using other modalities (e.g., PET, SPECT, etc.) is described. A surrogate soft tissue device is provided and positioned on the patient near the artifact source to provide a surrogate soft tissue boundary that can be imaged and interpreted during segmentation to mitigate the deleterious effects of a local susceptibility artifact in the MR image.

Abstract: A metallic flat gasket having a through-opening which is covered by a sieve element is described. The gasket serves for sealing a line transition between two components and for capturing particles in the fluid flowing through the line. At leat one metallic layer of the flat gasket has at least two continuations, which extend from the edge of a through-opening into the region of the through-opening, the at least two continuations being curved such that at least two of the continuations merge into each other in one plane or are connected together.

Abstract: Transmission control devices may have two control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate disposed between the two control boxes. The transmission control plate seals the intermediate space between the two control boxes or the channel portions and borings thereof in the form of a flat gasket. The plate also makes available throughflow-openings between channels or borings in the control boxes for a fluid, the fluid in the channels controlling the function of a transmission. The sealing function is achieved by embossed beads and/or partial coatings.

Abstract: A transmission control device has two mutually oppositely arranged counter-components, for example control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate, which is arranged between the two counter-components. The transmission control plate seals the clearance between the two counter-components or their channel portions and bores in the form of a flat seal. The plate also provides through-openings between channels or bores, respectively, in the opposing counter-components, where the fluid in the channels controls the function of a transmission. The sealing function is realized by stamped beads and/or partial coatings. Transmission control plates therefore have fluid through-flow openings so the fluid can flow through from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate.
