Patent ID: 7880569

Claim:
Rotating data transmission device for computer tomographs, for transmission of high speed data generated by a data source on the rotating part to a stationary part that is rotatably supported relative to the rotating part and includes a data sink for receiving electrical signals, having a rotating high speed data transmitter unit for feeding high-speed data from said data source into a rotating high speed transmission line, and a stationary high speed data receiver unit for receiving said high speed data from said high speed transmission line and forwarding the received data to said data sink, wherein said rotating high speed data transmitter unit comprises: at least one rotating part local link receiver for receiving data from the data source; at least one clock and data recovery circuit for re-synchronizing data received by said at least one local link receiver; at least one rotating high speed data transmitter for sending re-synchronized signals to the rotating high-speed transmission line; and at least one controller for controlling and configuring said rotating high-speed data transmitter unit; wherein said stationary high speed data receiver unit comprises: at least one stationary high speed data receiver for taking up data from said rotating high-speed transmission line; at least one clock and data recovery circuit for re-synchronizing data received by said at least one stationary high speed data receiver; at least one stationary clock local link transmitter for sending data over a stationary part local data link to said data sink; and at least one controller for controlling and configuring said stationary high speed data receiver units.
