20150217139 | Method and Irradiation Installation for Irradiating a Target Volume - The present disclosure relates to a method and to an irradiation system for irradiating a moving target volume with an ion beam, in particular for tumor therapy, wherein ion radiography measurements of the target volume are performed and the irradiation for deposition purposes and for radiography purposes is performed with the same ion beam but consecutively in time by alternating the energy of the ion beam between a higher radiography energy and a lower deposition energy using, for example, a passive energy modulator proximal with respect to the patient. | 08-06-2015 |
20150123020 | IMPROVED ENERGY MODULATOR - The present disclosure relates to a particle energy modulating device for variably changing the energy of the particles of a particle beam. The particle energy modulating device has a variable energy varying device with a control value correcting device for correcting a supplied control value. The control value correcting device corrects the supplied control values through the use of previously determined calibration data. | 05-07-2015 |
20140209272 | Mobile Data Centre Unit With Efficient Cooling Means - The present disclosure relates to a mobile data centre unit, which is adapted to house at least one rackbeing designed to provide storage space for electronic equipment. The mobile data centre unit is equipped with passive cooling means in order to provide dissipation of heat being generated by the electronic equipment. | 07-31-2014 |
20140166896 | Irradiation Installation and Control Method for Controlling Same - To control of an irradiation installation, a particle beam is generated with a beam intensity, and a beam quality of the particle beam is monitored with a beam monitoring device. One of several adjustable measurement ranges is selected, wherein the measurement range of the beam monitoring device is set depending on the beam intensity of the particle beam and/or depending on a particle count to be applied. | 06-19-2014 |
20140151236 | Nanowire Structural Element - Producing a nanowire structural element with a nanowire array between two cover layers forming a hollow chamber permeated in a column-like manner with nanowires. The process includes: preparing a template foil; application of a first surface covering electroconductive cover layer on a first side of the template foil; generation of numerous nanopores in the template foil; generation of nanowires in the nanopores wherein an electroconductive material fills the nanopores by electrochemical deposition, wherein the nanowires grow within the nanopores on the first cover layer; generation of a second surface filling cover layer on the second side of the template foil thus forming a sandwich-like arrangement of the two cover layers and the template foil permeated with nanowires; and clearing the structured hollow chamber between by dissolving of the template foil and removal of the dissolved template substance, wherein the two cover layers remain intact. | 06-05-2014 |
20110027853 | Phantom for the experimental in-vitro validation of radiation procedures under the influence of motion, taking into account the biological effective dose - A phantom device for in-vitro validation of radiation procedures under motion influence in consideration of an effective biological dose includes a phantom having a first biological detector with a first biological sample. The first biological sample includes a plurality of culturing and irradiation elements. Each of the culturing and irradiation elements are provided with a respective biological sub-sample so that the first biological detector is configured as a spatially resolving biological detector. A first motion device is configured to move the first biological detector so as to simulate a motion of a target volume. | 02-03-2011 |
20100327188 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IRRADIATION OF A TARGET VOLUME - A method of generating a data set defining a plurality of target points in a target volume in a body at which a particle beam is to be directed in a continuous or discontinuous process includes directing a particle beam to each of the target points so as to provide a spatial dose distribution in an area around the respective target point. The target points include a first target point having z-spacing, measured in a direction of the particle beam in a homogenous body equivalent to the body, from an adjacent second target point at a higher or lower particle energy. The method also includes defining the target points in the data set by at least one of the z-spacing and the spatial dose distribution in dependence upon a particle energy of the respective target point. | 12-30-2010 |
