These symmetrical pairs contain rectilinear central elements to connect the ends together by two hollow connectors each formed from two returnable surfaces. The axes of the stack of connectors are the same as those for the two feed collectors for each modular pipe and one end of each collector ends by one of the two connection pipes of the piece. Outline of a modular heat exchanger as described above, with a stack of biconvex vents like an accordeon. Multiple exchanger modules can be installed in an envelope made of two half-shells which completely enclose the enchangers whilst controlling the spaces between them. Each half-shell encloses a longitudinal half of an exchanger or the assembly of several exchangers and has a half-tube connector at each end. The edges of the half-shells are welded together and the half-connectors are welded to the connections of the exchanger(s). ALSO CLAIMED is a mould for fabricating the rough exchanger and a method for fabricating the exchanger, as well as a method for fabricating the rough exchanger in metal and a method for finishing it, together with a machine-tool making the exchanger from a mould.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer tomography method in which a periodically moving object, in particular an organ of the body, is irradiated by a cone-shaped beam cluster ( 4 ) along a trajectory which runs on a cylindrical surface. The radiation transmitted through the object is measured by means of a detector unit ( 16 ), and at the same time the periodic movement of the object is recorded. In order to reconstruct the absorption distribution of the object, the measured values or the corresponding beams are rebinned to form a number of parallel projections, where for each of these projections a measured value is determined whose beam irradiates the object. The point in time at which this measured value was acquired is allocated to the respective projection. For the reconstruction, which may for example be carried out using a filtered back-projection, only projections whose allocated points in time lie within a predefined, specific time range (H 1 ) within a period of the object movement are used.
