20140231663 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING REGISTER CONTENTS OF A CT DETECTOR WITH HIERARCHICAL HARDWARE STRUCTURE AND CT DETECTOR OF A CT SYSTEM - A method is disclosed for transmission of register contents of a CT detector with hierarchical hardware structure, wherein the first hierarchy level is formed by a control unit containing a register table for the read-out register contents of FPGAs lying lower down in the hierarchy and an intermediate register store for register contents to be written. With each new reading, the new register contents for FPGAs lying lower down in the hierarchy arriving during the respective preceding reading from the central control at the control unit are forwarded to the next hierarchy level. With each new reading, the register contents of all FPGAs lying lower down in the hierarchy are re-entered into the register table of the control unit. Finally, in the event of a readout command transferred asynchronously from the central control, the register contents are read out exclusively from the register table. | 08-21-2014 |

20090139829 | Device for sorting coins, tokens, chips and the like - An apparatus is provided for sorting coins, tokens, chips and the like having a chute which has at least one inlet and a plurality of outlets and which possesses a flat, substantially rectangular cross-section, in which a movable shunt is associated with at least one of the outlets, the shunt being movable between a channeling away position engaging into the chute and a passage position. It is proposed to provide the chute with at least three or also more outlets and to arrange them in a special manner in order to achieve a compact construction without any larger height losses despite the increased number of outlets. The chute has at least two flat side outlets which are arranged above one another in the falling direction through the chute and which branch off the chute at a flat side of the chute and which also have a base outlet which substantially branches off the chute in the falling direction, with a respective shunt being associated with the flat side outlets. The flat side of the chute in this respect is the chute side which is disposed opposite one of the two flat sides of the coins falling through the chute. The chute advantageously has a pressed flat cross-section which is preferably rectangular, has two oppositely disposed wide flat sides and two oppositely disposed narrow sides and forces the coins falling or sliding through the chute into a predetermined direction. The flat sides are in this respect not disposed opposite the cylindrical jacket surfaces of the coins and/or tokens or chips, but opposite the flat sides showing the coin embossing such as value numbers or heads. The coins are accordingly channeled away transversely to their flat sides via the flat side outlets. The plurality of flat side outlets arranged above on another have the great advantage in this respect that the coin sorting body can be made in particularly compact form since the flat side outlets can be arranged very closely above one another independently of the coin diameter and the shunts associated with the flat side outlets also only require a very limited switch path which can be a great deal smaller than it could be if the coins were channeled off via their jacket surface sides. In addition, the small required switch paths permit very short switch times for the shunts, whereby a high throughput can be achieved. | 06-04-2009 |

20120089012 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NAVIGATING A CUTTING TOOL DURING ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY USING A LOCALIZATION SYSTEM - The invention provides methods and apparatus for accurately cutting bones with a surgical cutting device, such as a sagittal saw, using a surgical navigation system without use of a complex cutting jig. A surgical navigation system is used to navigate a guide tube to be used to drill a k-wire into the bone. The k-wire will act as a guide to control at least one degree of freedom of a saw blade for making a cut in the bone. In an exemplary high tibial osteotomy procedure, in which two intersecting planar cuts must be made in the tibia in order to remove a wedge of bone, a surgical navigation marker is mounted on the guide tube. The surgeon uses the surgical navigation system to navigate the guide tube to the desired varus-valgus angle and height of the first cut and then drills a k-wire into the tibia at that varus-valgus angle using the guide tube. The process is repeated for the second cut. The surgeon then uses the two k-wires as guides for controlling the varus-valgus angle of a sagittal saw for the two planar cuts. The surgeon rests the saw blade flat on the respective k-wire to define the varus-valgus angle of the cut. The saw itself also is navigated, with the surgical navigation system providing a display showing the surgeon at least (1) the varus-valgus angle, (2) the cut depth, and (3) the anterior-posterior slope. The anterior-posterior slope and the depth of the cut is controlled freehand by the surgeon. | 04-12-2012 |

20140197782 | WIRELESS CHARGER WITH COMBINED ELECTRIC RADIATION SHIELDING AND CAPACITIVE SENSING FUNCTIONS - A wireless charger with combined electric radiation shielding and capacitive sensing functions is provided. The wireless charger comprises a charging module, a capacitive sensor, and a control unit. The charging module comprises a first coil, a placing area, and a comb-shaped shielding located between the placing area and the first coil. The capacitive sensor is connected to the comb-shaped shielding to detect the capacitance varient between the comb-shaped shielding and the environment. When the wireless charger is in a standby mode, the comb-shaped shielding is for sensing capacitance. When the capacitance varient exceeds a predefined threshold and an electronic device for wireless charging is placed on the placing area, the control unit switches the wireless charger to a charging mode and the comb-shaped shielding is for electric radiation shielding. | 07-17-2014 |

20140081698 | Service Process Integration Systems and Methods - In some embodiments, multiple heterogeneous information technology service management (ITSM) applications of different IT service partners (customers and service providers) are integrated via a service process integration grid employing a set of standard workflows and associated standard transaction types and data structures. Once a service partner's workflows and data structures have been mapped to the standard grid workflows and data structures, integration with a first and new service partners is relatively fast and convenient. Analysis of real-life ITSM applications led to the development of particular standardized workflows classified according to whether they are initiated by service provider or customer, and according to whether they do or do not include ownership-transfer transactions allowing a service partner (customer or provider) to transfer ownership of the service process to its counterpart for further action by the counterpart. | 03-20-2014 |
