Abstract: The operation of appliances in a home network is to be made more user-friendly, for which purpose provision is made for the hearing device remote control unit to be integrated as a component in a network. This would, for example, enable warning signals triggered by the network to be provided in the hearing devices.

Abstract: A remote control for a hearing aid device prevents incorrect operation by having operating elements that effect a signal transmission from the remote control to a hearing aid device disposed on a first side of the remote control housing, and operating elements that additionally effect a signal transmission from the hearing aid device back to the remote control disposed on a second housing side of the remote control. The first and second housing sides are disposed in an easily tactilely distinguishable relation to each other, such as by being substantially orthogonal. The different functions of the operating elements and therefore can be differentiated purely by contact with the remote control.

Abstract: A gradient coil system for a magnetic resonance apparatus has gradient coils and at least one cooling tube for cooling the gradient coils using a coolant flowing through the cooling tube. The cooling tube is formed of a flexible thermoplastic material, augmented with a filler, and has a thermal conductivity greater than 0.5 W/mK.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance tomography device, wherein vibrations of device components, particularly in the low frequency range, are attenuated, as a magnet body surrounded by a magnet shell, which surrounds and defines an inner area. A gradient coil system is disposed in the inner area and an inner encapsulation cylinder also is disposed therein. The magnetic shell and the gradient coil system are externally and acoustically sealed from the inner encapsulation cylinder, and from a capsule. The capsule is formed as a three-layer system, including a cover layer, a full foam layer and a partial foam layer.

Abstract: In an MR tomography apparatus damping laminated sheets are provided for reducing vibrations The MR tomography apparatus has a magnet body which is surrounded by a magnet housing which surrounds and delimits an interior volume. A gradient coil system is located in this interior volume. On an inner side of the magnet housing that delimits the interior volume, a damping laminated sheet structure is provided for absorbing acoustic vibrations which are produced on switching of the gradient coil system.

Abstract: A directly cooled magnetic coil, particularly a gradient coil for a magnetic resonance apparatus, has the conductors forming the windings which are provided with an inner cooling channel for conducting a cooling fluid therethrough, and the conductors are fashioned as profiled segment conductors whose individual profiled segments surround a cooling tube. The cooling tube is composed of material that is not electrically conductive, or is only slightly electrically conductive, particularly a flexible plastic.
