20080243244Metallic Endoprosthesis Compatible with Magnetic Resonance - A metallic endoprosthesis is provided and causes no significant artefacts on images taken by magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), as a result of the combination of the production materials with a special design, which permits an evaluation of the externally adjacent region and the lumen of the endoprosthesis by means of MRT. The endoprosthesis is made from a material with a magnetisability similar to human tissue. The design of the endoprosthesis is such that the members or wires of the endoprosthesis run extensively along the longitudinal axis of the endoprosthesis, without forming a closed circuit in a plane which is essentially perpendicular to the endoprosthesis longitudinal axis. Further variations of the endoprosthesis design are possible, which all offer a full compatibility with MR for the endoprosthesis10-02-2008

20120183010METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MELT PROCESS IN AN ARC FURNACE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING COMPONENT, PROGRAM CODE AND DATA MEDIUM FOR PERFORMING SAID METHOD - A method for controlling a melt process in an arc furnace and signal processing component, program code, and data medium for performing said method are provided. According to the method, sound signals or vibrations from the interior of the furnace container are captured by solid-borne sound sensors, from which characteristic values can be derived for the distribution of melting material, melt, and slag in the furnace fill. A characteristic value SM for thermal radiation impinging on the furnace wall of the container, a characteristic value M for the lumpiness of the melting material in the volume of furnace fill, and a characteristic value MM for the change to the portion of solid melting material contacting the furnace wall are generated in priority sequence. The energy distribution at the electrodes is changed by a control system analyzing the characteristic values in priority sequence, such that thermal load peaks are dampened or even completely prevented. To this end, the strand impedances stored as target values are modified. If the control is not sufficient, the thermal power of the arc is reduced as a subordinate means. A rapidly and reliably effective operating regime for the processes in the arc furnace can thereby be implemented.07-19-2012

Because a modified second radiation power is specified if a deviation is present, and a modified second set of operating parameters, e.g., impedance value(s), is determined based on the modified second radiation power, a method is provided that permits a minimal melting time while minimizing consumption of operating resources, e.g., with respect to arc furnace cooling.12-20-2012

20090325423Adapter for a main current path tap of a switching device - At least one embodiment of the invention relates to an adapter for producing an electrically conductive connection between at least one main current path of a switching device and an evaluation unit for determining the state of a protective apparatus, which is connected upstream of the switching device. In order to make it possible to monitor a protective apparatus which is connected upstream of the switching device with minimum wiring complexity, at least one embodiment of the invention proposes an adapter for producing an electrically conductive connection between at least one main current path of a switching device and an evaluation unit for determining the state of a protective apparatus which is connected upstream of the switching device, wherein the adapter can be connected mechanically to the switching device and has contact interfaces for connection of the evaluation unit.
