Abstract: An arrangement includes a robot having a robot arm that supports a device powered by supply lines. The arrangement includes at least one guide element that is fastened to the robot arm, and the supply lines are moveably held against at least one segment of the robot arm by the at least one guide element. At least one storage element is provided for receiving a supply line provision. The at least one storage element releases the supply line from the supply line provision with an increasing tensile load of the supply lines and retracts the supply line into the supply line provision with a decreasing tensile load of the supply lines.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide an arrangement with an X-ray detector that is driven by a rotation device. The arrangement includes a first rotational speed sensor and a second rotational speed sensor that determine a rotation of the X-ray detector. The first rotational speed sensor and the second rotational speed sensor are coupled via a connection device including a pre-tensioned torsion spring.

Abstract: A method for automatic detection of a contrast agent inflow in a blood vessel of a patient with a CT system, and CT system for carrying out this method, are disclosed. At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a method which determines the position of at least one blood vessel in section image representations in a CT examination without external intervention with the aid of an active shape or active appearance model, measures the inflow of contrast agent in this region in a targeted way and automatically initiates at least one action in the event of inflowing contrast agent.

Abstract: A fluid connector including pluggable elements, for example in the form of connector pins or connector sockets that are supported so as to be movable in a direction transverse to a joining direction. Resilient element may be disposed for pre-specifying a rest position of the corresponding pluggable elements.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an apparatus which can be used to increase the bending strength of a tube in its connection region. The apparatus may include an adapter unit, the shape of which is matched to a cross-sectional shape of a tube end in such a manner that on the one hand the adapter unit can be fitted to a tube connection of a device instead of the tube end and on the other hand the tube end can be fitted to the adapter unit. The apparatus may also include at least one spring element made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, which is connected to the adapter unit, projects out of the adapter unit in the direction of the tube and has a termination element at the projecting end, against which termination element a fitted tube abuts when subjected to bending, so that the rigidity of the spring element increases the bending strength of the tube in the region between the adapter unit and the element.

Abstract: A guide element for a corrugated tube is formed as a ring. At least one rotating roller is integrated in the interior of the ring such that the at least one rotating roller contacts the corrugated tube when the corrugated tube is passed through the ring. The at least one rotating roller rotates with a movement of the corrugated tube using the guide element. The guide element enables low-wear control of corrugated tubes.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for a harvesting header of a harvesting machine is provided. The harvesting machine has a chassis on which a feeder housing is fastened. On the front side of the feeder housing a fastening device is attached. The fastening device is movable with respect to the feeder housing. On the fastening device, a harvesting header can be attached. The drive arrangement comprises an output shaft for driving the header, the output shaft being be set in rotation by the harvesting machine and is coupled with the fastening device and can move with the fastening device relative to the feeder housing. A harvesting header drive shaft of the harvesting header can be drivingly connected to the output shaft.

Abstract: A medical examination device is provided. At least some of the supply lines used to operate the examination device are routed from above to the examination device, with the supply lines being arranged on a gallows which is mounted rotatably on a rail-guided carriage and being attached to a longitudinal section by at least one Bowden cable arranged on the gallows.

Abstract: An x-ray device is provided. The x-ray device includes a C-arm, on which a radiographic source and a heat pump are arranged. At least sections of the C-arm are hollow, such that at least sections of the radiographic source and the heat pump are arranged inside the C-arm.

Abstract: An x-ray device is provided. The x-ray device includes a C-arm that may be rotatably mounted on a robotic arm. A radiation source and a radiation detector may be arranged on the C-arm. The interior of the C-arm, which is hollow at least in sections, is accessible from at least one access side to allow at least a part of the electronic components used to operate the radiation source and the radiation detector to be integrated in the interior of the arm.

Abstract: An X-ray apparatus is provided. The X-ray apparatus includes a C-arm mounted on a robotic arm that is operable to be rotated about an axis of rotation. A radiation source and a radiation detector are arranged on the C-arm. The distance between the radiation source and radiation detector may be varied by a lifting device. The radiation source may be moved longitudinally relative to the radiation detector, or vice versa. The C-arm may include two arm sections that can be moved relative to one another by a lifting device. The radiation source is arranged on the one arm section and the radiation receiver is arranged on the other arm section.

Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the bending strength of tubes is provided. The apparatus may include an adapter and at least one sprint element. The adapter may have a shape that is matched to a cross-sectional shape of a tube end in such a manner that the adapter may be fitted to a tube connection of a device instead of the tube end and the tube end may be fitted to the adapter. The at least one spring element may be connected to the adapter. The at least one spring element may project out of the adapter in the direction of the tube. The at least one spring element may include a holding element at the projecting end. The holding element matches the cross-sectional shape of the tube and describes at least half the periphery of the tube. A fitted tube abuts against the holding element when the tube is subjected to bending. The rigidity of the spring element increases the bending strength of the tube in the region between the adapter unit and the holding element.
