Title: Klaus Baeker: Innovator in X-ray Diagnostic Systems
Introduction
Klaus Baeker is a notable inventor based in Uttenreuth, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical imaging, particularly in the development of X-ray diagnostic systems. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the technology used in medical diagnostics.
Latest Patents
Baeker's latest patents include an innovative X-ray diagnostic system comprising a tomographic apparatus. This system allows for the selection of the path of movement of the photographic exposure unit, which includes an X-ray tube and an image layer or film carrier. The invention features a method for determining the photographic exposure time using either an mAs-relay or an automatic exposure timer with a radiation detector. The system integrates the X-ray tube current or the radiation detector's current, sampling the integrator contents at a predetermined time after the photographic exposure begins. This sampled value is then compared with a reference value to adjust the running speed of the photographic exposure unit accordingly.
Another significant patent by Baeker is the X-ray diagnostic generator, which includes switching means for switching on the system. This invention features a circuit arrangement that stores information corresponding to the switch-off phase angle of the supply voltage. It ensures that the switching-on occurs at a phase position equal to the stored phase angle, taking into account the delay time between the switch-on signal and the actual switching-on of the high voltage transformer.
