  • Patent number: 9194929
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for compensating patient movements in MRI scans in real time and to a device suitable for carrying out said method. The method involves the following steps: optically sensing a marking element (5) connected to a patient (3) by means of an image sensor module (7) of an MRI-compatible camera (2) which is positioned inside an MRI device; transferring the image data detected by the image sensor module (7) to a micro-controller module (11) which is integrated in the MRI-compatible camera (2); calculating position data of the marking element (5) in the micro-controller module (11); and transmitting the position data to an external analyzing unit or to the MRI device in real time.

  • Patent number: 8628138
    Abstract: A drawer-type cooling box assembly includes a cooling box which is mounted in a housing, in particular in a kitchen unit of a camping vehicle, so as to be able to be pulled out and pushed in on pull-out guides and has an upwardly directed access opening and an upper cooling box covering. The drawer-type cooling box is able to be operated very much more easily and significantly improving the accessibility to foodstuffs stored in the drawer-type cooling box, which is obtained in that the cooling box covering is mounted movably in the kitchen unit via coupling elements, is lifted off upward from the cooling box in a pulled-out position of same and, in a pushed-in position, is lowered downward onto the access opening of the cooling box.

  • Publication number: 20120119539
    Abstract: A motor home bed is composed of a plurality of lying surface sections which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle. Of which at least one lying surface section can be pivoted into a vertical position by use of functional fittings. The bed significantly improves the variability of the useful interior of a motor home, this being achieved in that the functional fittings are mounted so as to be displaceable parallel to one another on longitudinal guides extending horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
