Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a control device for controlling an irradiation procedure, which is designed in such a way that a target volume is irradiated by at least two irradiation procedures. In each irradiation procedure, an energy of a particle beam is varied in such a way that the target volume is irradiated layer-wise in layers that are spatially arranged one behind another. A sequence in which the layers of the target volume are irradiated in one of the irradiation procedures is varied from irradiation procedure to irradiation procedure, in terms of a direction of incidence of the particle beam.

Abstract: An electric machine contains a rotor which contains a first longitudinal section at the ambient air temperature and a second longitudinal section cooled at least partially to cryogenic temperature, a coolant inlet pipe extending into the second longitudinal section, wherein the inlet pipe is set at a distance from the rotor by a radial gap, wherein the inlet pipe in the first longitudinal section is mounted by at least two bearings, wherein the bearings are distributed on axial positions in such a way that upon action of a maximum radial force on the inlet pipe the pipe has a maximum deflection which is smaller than the radial gap. In a method for determining the axial positions, various batches of potential locations are chosen for the axial positions of the bearings, according to potential locations which has a minimum gap greater than zero.

Abstract: A rectangular coil has several successive windings which are made of a strip-shaped super conductor, which contains at least one core which is embedded in a normal conductive matrix material and which is made of a high-Tc-super conductor material. The coil is made of a strip-shaped superconductor and does not have additional insulation.
