Title: Radiotherapy apparatus and operating method
Inventor: BROWN KEVIN JOHN
IPC: A61B6/08
Filed: 2002-11-28
Granted: 2006-06-14
Abstract: A radiotherapy apparatus comprises a source of therapeutic radiation, a source of imaging radiation and a two-dimensional imager for the imaging radiation, a computing means for preparing tomography data from the output of the imager, the therapeutic source being controllable on the basis of feedback from the tomography data, wherein the computing means is arranged to prepare a plurality of intersecting sectional views from the output of the imager, akin to a portal image but with better contrast and the detail of a section rather than that of a projection. This is easier to interpret and visualise a series of sectional than a three dimensional view. Pixels of the images are the result of averaging a plurality of voxels arranged transverse to the section, typically orthogonal and linear. Typically, good results can be achieved using between 5 and 20 voxels. About 10 is suitable, ie between 7 and 15. There is a ideally a display means for showing the sectional views to an operator. The therapeutic source can then be controlled on the basis of instructions from the operator, given via an input means such as a mouse or other pointer, which is preferably correlated to the display. This correlation can be via a superimposed image on the display which is moveable in response to operation of the input means. The superimposed image can derived from one of a previous investigation and a treatment of the patient, so that it corresponds in shape to the area or the image which is being sought. The superimposed image is preferably an outline so that the underlying image is clear.

Title: Protective tube for setting cables and wires, and method for drawing cable into protective tube
Inventor: VOGELSANG HORST
IPC: H02G1/08
Filed: 1993-06-11
Abstract: A cable guiding device having at least one cable guiding pipe (conduit) of thermoplastic synthetic material, which cable guiding pipe has a cable guiding duct with a duct inner wall (which is circular in cross-section and has the pipe internal radius r), and which has sliding ribs which are arranged on the duct inner wall and are formed out of the thermoplastic synthetic material of the synthetic material pipe. The sliding ribs run at a predetermined rotation angle a with respect to the internal circumference. Contact surfaces having the rib contact width b result in a cable guiding pipe, which is arranged in a straight line, with a cable (which is to be inserted) at the contact points between the sliding ribs and the cable sheath of the cable which is to be inserted. The sliding ribs run in a corrugated shape and form reversing regions between sections having a constant rotation angle a. The rib contact width b, the number of sliding ribs which are distributed equidistantly over the circumference of the duct inner wall, the pipe internal radius r and the length LK of the rib contact sections between the reversing regions satisfy the equation Ar = 0.16 b<2>z LK. A defines the contact area of the cable sheath at the intersections with the sliding ribs in the rib contact sections. The angle g, measured in radians, of the pitch of the sliding ribs, measured on the duct inner wall, satisfies the equation g = ra/LK.

Title: Water permeability tile and method for production of the tile
Inventor: METTEN JOSEF
IPC: E01C5/00
Filed: 1993-12-08
Abstract: In the case of perforated drainage concrete blocks, in particular paving blocks of various shapes and sizes, which are laid on rain-exposed surfaces, such as roads, paths, squares, carparks and tree-surrounding beds, and are filled at the lateral ends by means of pointing compounds or sand, the problem exists that the holes become blocked during the pointing or introduction of sand. To avoid this, the holes are closed at their upper end until the pointing or sand-introducing operation is complete. Advantageously, this is effected by a filling medium which can be washed away or dissolved by adding water. <IMAGE>
