Abstract: The disclosure describes an apparatus and method for automatic gain control during scanning. The apparatus comprises an optical detector (206) to receive an optical signal reflected from a symbol (214) positioned within a scan window (215) by an optical beam (212) scanned from a leading edge (218) of the scan window (215) to a trailing edge (220) of the scan window; and a processor coupled (208) to the optical detector to adjust the gain of the optical detector during the beam scan. The process comprises receiving an optical signal using an optical detector (206), wherein the optical signal comprises optical energy reflected from a symbol positioned in a scan window as an optical beam scans from a leading edge of the scan window to a trailing edge of the scan window, and adjusting the gain of the optical detector during receipt of the optical signal. A calibration process is disclosed comprising calibrating the optical detector to obtain a plurality of gain corrections, each gain correction corresponding to a different position between a leading edge and a trailing edge of a scan window, and storing the plurality of gain corrections.

Abstract: Particles are directed to irradiation treatment stations (11, 13, 15). A unit (35) co-ordinates, monitors and assures correct particle guidance. Stations include individual control units (33). Each is connected by a first, fixed, dedicated signal link, directly to a co-ordination unit (35) signal input. Each demand for a specified particle beam to perform a specific irradiation operation, is transmitted through the dedicated link. The presence of the demand signal at the signal input, unambiguously identifies the irradiation station making the demand. An independent claim is included for the corresponding method.

Abstract: An anchoring system for an elongated medical article comprises an anchor pad and a retainer mounted upon the anchor pad. The retainer includes a base, a cover, and a compressible member including a receptacle into which the medical article to be retained is placed. When the cover is closed, the medical article is secured within the receptacle by the pressure of the compressible member and cover upon the medical article. One or more biasing members act upon the compressible member to increase the frictional forces acting on the retained section of the medical article. The receptacle may form a channel that follows a curved path through the retainer. The retainer may also include guide extensions to support the medical article along a transverse bend toward the skin of the patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a capacitor, especially as an energy store for track vehicles. The aim of the invention is to allow for optimal utilization of the useful energy storage potential of the capacitor even in unfavorable external boundary conditions, e.g. at an elevated ambient temperature, and/or in case the capacitor already has a certain age. Said aim is achieved by a method for operating a capacitor (20), in which the capacitor (20) is charged maximally to a point where the capacitor reaches a predefined maximum voltage (Umax) in order to store energy while the capacitor (20) is discharged only to a point where a given minimum voltage (Umin) is maintained in order to draw energy, said minimum voltage being a variable quantity which is increased as the inside temperature (Ti) of the capacitor rises.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for measuring in-situ stress in rock using a thermal crack. The method involves forming a borehole, cooling a wall of the borehole, applying tensile thermal stress, forming a crack in the borehole wall, and measuring temperature and cracking point. Afterwards, the borehole wall is heated to close the formed crack, the borehole wall is cooled again to re-open the crack, and temperature is measured when the crack is re-opened. The in-situ stress of the rock is calculated using a first cracking temperature at which the crack is formed and a second cracking temperature at which the crack is re-opened. Further, the apparatus cools, heats and re-cools the borehole wall, thereby measuring the first cracking temperature, the second cracking temperature, and the cracking point.
