One aspect of the present invention is a detector array (86) for a computed tomographic imaging system (10) having a z-direction corresponding to an image slice thickness direction and that is arc-shaped in a direction transverse to the z-direction. The detector array has a plurality of detector modules (50, 94) configured so that the detector array has active regions (110, 112, 114) of differing ...

A control apparatus and method for a vehicle that has at least one detection means that detects a running state of the vehicle, and a control apparatus that receives a result of detection by the detector and controls a predetermined vehicle-installed apparatus. The control apparatus determines whether the detection means has failed; restricts a control process by which the control apparatus contro...

A frusto-conical body (15) of a tissue or foil impregnated with a synthetic resin carries inside a wear-resistant metal coating (20), intended for directly contacting the thread, made from a planar foil (20') cut by photoetching from a planar stainless steel sheet having a high surface hardness and shaped to a continuous, frusto-conical ring (20") by mutually joining the ends (20a-20b) of the foil...

A creel has a frame provided with a plurality of parallel and longitudinally extending rows of holders each adapted to carry a respective filament-carrying bobbin with the holders of each row longitudinally staggered relative to the holders of adjacent rows and defining nonstraight gaps with the holders of the adjacent rows. Respective eyes are aligned transversely of the rows with the holders and...

The retainer has individually driven support rods (7) where one of the support rods acts as a retainer element. The other rods act as guide rods for the retaining element.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic drive mechanism with a displaceably arranged part (7) that can be moved back and forth electromagnetically. Said part is brought into end positions by alternate exciting current switching. An element (16), specially a valve of an internal combustion engine, is driven by movement of the electromagnetically displaceable part (7). A hinged lever (11) locate...

There is described a method for creating and keeping a controlled atmosphere in a FED, essentially free of oxidizing gases and including hydrogen at a pressure comprised between 10<-7> and 10<-3> mbar, which comprises the step of arranging inside the FED, before it is frit sealed, a getter material previously charged with hydrogen gas. Subsequently, the two parts forming the FED are frit sealed al...

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for receiving and assessing an application made by an applicant. In one aspect, the apparatus includes: computing means (23) configured or programmed to present a plurality of application forms (8) to the applicant (5), to receive the forms (8) once completed from the applicant (5) and to assess the application; input means (3,4) for the appli...

A number of hash tables are accessed concurrently with a different computed index for each hash table. Each index identifies a location in one of the hash tables at which a forwarding entry may be stored. To search for a forwarding entry, the locations identified by the indices computed by performing a hash function on a search key are searched to a match for the search key. To insert a forwarding...

An increased nuclear magnetisation is generated in a region being examined by application of a first stationary magnetic field. A second stationary magnetic field is applied to the nuclei influenced by the first stationary magnetic field. An MR experiment is performed after there is no more effect from the first magnetic field on the nuclei, but before the nuclear magnetisation has decayed. The MR...

The invention relates to a method for preparation of test bodies for analysis of porous, preferably thermally sprayed, surface layers, which are incorporated by casting in plastic. The method according to the invention is carried out by placing one or more test pieces of the surface layer in a mould introduced into a vacuum chamber, the pressure of which is lowered, pouring a ready-mixed, liquid c...
