A strain relief facility for a coaxial cable that is connectable to an electronics unit via an associated plug, includes two half-shells forming a receiver for the coaxial cable and the associated plug, and a fastening facility to fasten the strain relief facility to the electronics unit, and to fasten the half-shells to one another. The receiver has at least one cable section to receive the coaxial cable and a plug section to receive the plug.

Strain relief facility, connection arrangement and medical facility

A method includes moving one or more transmit facility or transmit facilities attached to a first component with regard to at least two receive facilities attached at a fixed position to the second component; and at least one of registering a respective error if an error condition exists for the respective receive facility or modifying an operation of an apparatus comprising the first and a second component if the error condition exists for the respective receive facility, the error condition for the respective receive facility depends on location information relating to at least one of the position of the first component with regard to the second component or orientation of the first component with regard to the second component, and/or at least one of a measure for a receive quality of the signals or data packets received from the transmit facility or from at least one of the transmit facilities.

Methods for monitoring a data transmission, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums

A device includes a first and a second part, relatively rotatable, and data transmission structures for contactless transmission of data. The data transmission structures include a transmit and/or receive facility a coupling facility on the two parts. The transmit and/or receive facility extends over a small angle and the coupling facility extends over a complete circle. Data is transmitted between the facilities at a transmission frequency. The two parts include walls encompassing a tunnel interior space extending completely around the axis of rotation. The data transmission structures are arranged in the tunnel interior space. The walls are electrically conductive structures reflecting electromagnetic alternating fields in the transmission frequency range. An absorber structure is arranged at least on a part of the walls toward the tunnel interior space and the absorber structure absorbs electromagnetic alternating fields in the range of the transmission frequency.

EMC shielding for contactless data transmission

A device for the transfer of high frequency electrical signals between a rotating component and a stationary component, in particular for use in a CT system, in particular in a gantry of a CT system has a rotor, a stator; at least one brush attached at the stator, with a number of electrically conductive fibers that establish sliding contact with the rotor, and a slideway arranged to the side of the rotor and facing toward the stator. The fibers of the at least one stator-side brush rest on the slideway. A lubricant is provided on the slideway, a rotor has a capture device for the lubricant that is arranged around the outside of the slideway, and at least one return element for the captured lubricant is attached at the stator.

Device to transfer high frequency electrical signals between a rotating component and a stationary component

In a gantry for an x-ray computed tomography apparatus with a rotor and a stator and a device for measurement of the rotation angle as well as a method for measurement of the rotation angle, a disc is provided with markings that rotate relative to a detection device for detection of the markings. Electrical signals are generated by the detection device, and an evaluation device converts the signals into a measurement signal corresponding to the respective rotation angle. To increase the precision of the measurement, a low-pass filter is connected upstream of the evaluation device.
