The present embodiments include an arrangement for contactless transmission of electrical power between a fixed gantry section and a gantry section of a computed tomography system that is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The arrangement includes a first carrier ring in annular form arranged on the rotatable gantry section in an electrically conductive manner, and at least one first conductor element arranged in or on the first carrier ring, the at least one first conductor element being insulated from the first carrier ring and being for contactless receiving of the electrical power. The arrangement also includes at least one grounding slip ring arranged in or on the first carrier ring. The at least one grounding slip ring is connected to the first carrier ring in an electrically conductive manner.

Arrangement for contactless power transmission and grounding in a computed tomography system

The invention specifies a holding apparatus comprising a support element and a circuit board. A trench for receiving the circuit board is embodied in the support element. At least one first clamping element is arranged on one or both longitudinal sides of the circuit board and/or at least one second clamping element is arranged in the trench. As a result, the circuit board received by the trench is fixed in the trench in a clearance-free fashion.

Holding apparatus

A retaining facility for clearance-free fixing of a printed circuit board onto a one-dimensional curved surface is provided. In the direction of curvature of the one-dimensional curved surface, a tensile or compressive force acts on the printed circuit board or on at least one first connection device connected to the latter, with the printed circuit board being bent and pressed onto the curved surface. In this way the printed circuit board is held solidly and with little vibration on the surface even when acted on by centrifugal forces.
