20120175174 | MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF MOBILE TRANSPORT UNITS - The present invention relates to a multi-functional transport system having a plurality of mobile transport units, which each have a coupling device in a front and a rear region, by means of which the transport units can be coupled to each other and/or to a lead vehicle. In one configuration, the individual transport units equipped with drives follow the lead vehicle defining the path in a directionally stable manner by an independent path control system. The transport units themselves can also be removed or decoupled from the transport system as independent units. At least one handle, in addition to the couplings, can be used by an operator when in the decoupled state, so that the mailings to be transported can remain on the transport unit until delivery without manual transferring or transporting. This manual guiding of the individual transport unit takes place in a virtually force-free manner. | 07-12-2012 |
20130199040 | Device and method for treatment of high-pressure turbine blades of a gas turbine - The present invention relates to a device and a method for in-situ treatment of turbine blades/vanes of a gas turbine, with the treatment device being insertable into a combustion chamber of the gas turbine via at least one access aperture and placeable on cooling-air recesses of the turbine blades, with the treatment device at its end including a tool head with at least one tool and at least one jet nozzle, with the jet nozzle being connected to a medium hose for externally supplying a treatment fluid, with the treatment device being provided with an actuating device for exactly guiding and/or placing and/or moving the tool head. | 08-08-2013 |
20130230137 | X-RAY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING 3D IMAGE DATA - The present invention relates to an X-ray system and method for generating 3D image data. The X-ray system comprises a radiation detector, a movable X-ray tube assembly and a control unit, wherein in a working state of the system the radiation detector is detachably positioned in a spatially fixed manner and the X-ray tube assembly can be moved into relative positions relative to the radiation detector. Projection images recorded in the relative positions can be processed together with the coordinates of the relative positions using an iterative reconstruction technique or other image processing methods so as to obtain 3D X-ray images. The X-ray tube assembly is attached to a motor-driven movable stand arm and can be displaced using a control unit. The stand base of the movable stand can be positioned in a spatially fixed manner, so that it has a defined fixed position relative to the radiation detector. | 09-05-2013 |
