  • Publication number: 20240007013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power converter having a busbar device, a method for producing a busbar device and a busbar device for carrying and distributing electric currents, having at least one ferrite core filter and having at least two busbars, which are spaced from one another in an electrically insulated manner, it being possible for the busbars to have different electric potentials, so that the busbars can carry an electric current appropriate for a bar cross-sectional area, and the busbars being guided at least once through at least one feed-through opening of the ferrite core filter.

  • Patent number: 7329224
    Abstract: The invention relates to a therapy combination which consists of a locating unit and a therapy unit which includes a therapy head for focusing energy in a focus, said units being movable relative to one another. In order to determine the relative position, each of said two units is provided with a sub-system of a measuring device. The position of the focus can thus be determined relative to an image produced by the locating unit.

  • Publication number: 20070070630
    Abstract: A forced air cooling unit for a light source formed of an array of high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs). A housing includes side walls with a pair of grooves on the inside of the walls. A heat sink includes side extensions which are slidably received in the grooves. The LED array is mounted in thermal contact with the heat sink so as to protrude from the top of the housing. The housing side walls include a second pair of inside grooves below the first pair. The second pair of grooves slidably receive a cooling fan base plate. An internal air flow chamber thus defined by the housing side walls, the base plate and the heat sink. A cooling fan, mounted at one end of the base plate, draws cooling air into internal chamber. The air flows by the heat sink, carrying with it heat generated by the LEDs, to the other opposite end of the base plate, where it exits the internal chamber through openings in the base plate.
