A packaging technique for applying an insulating pack to the housing of a battery cell. The insulating pack is formed from a self-adhesive cutout of insulating material by folding the cutout onto the sides of the housing that are to be covered. The packaging technique involves a packaging method for automatically applying an insulating pack, a battery cell including an insulating pack, a packaging station for carrying out the method, and a preparation device for preparing one or more cutouts of insulating material.

Method for safe coupling and decoupling of an input device

A target volume within a test object is irradiated according to an irradiation plan with a particle beam using a particle irradiation unit. The irradiation plan is determined in order to apply the energy of the particle beam in the target volume according to a predetermined dose distribution. In addition, a boundary condition is specified for at least one of the isoenergy layers and the irradiation plan is additionally specified such that the boundary condition is met for the at least one isoenergy layer. The boundary condition includes one or more of a minimum boundary energy, a maximum boundary energy, a minimum grid point number, a minimum total particle number, a minimum total dose, a minimum dose contribution to a total dose to be administered, a minimum contribution to a target function which is calculated for determining the irradiation plan, and a minimum dose compensation error.

Determining an irradiation plan for a particle irradiation unit

An irradiation plan for a particle irradiation unit is determined in a first run based on a specified target volume in a test object and a specified dose distribution to apply the particle beam in the target volume. The target volume includes a plurality of isoenergy layers. The irradiation plan may be determined in a second run with an additional condition that at least one of the isoenergy layers, determined according to one or more criteria, is not irradiated. Alternatively, the irradiation plan may be determined in a second run with an additional condition that only certain isoenergy layers, determined according to one or more criteria, are irradiated.

Method and device for determining an irradiation plan for a particle irradiation unit

A radiotherapy treatment plan for irradiation of an object to be irradiated is determined. The object to be irradiated includes a number of irradiation areas and the object to be irradiated is irradiated with a number of beams from different directions. The method includes determining a number of total dose conditions. One of the number of total dose conditions is assigned to a respective one of the number of irradiation areas. The method further includes determining a number of single beam dose conditions. One of the single dose conditions is assigned to a respective one of the number of beams and a respective one of the number of irradiation areas. The method also includes determining irradiation parameters for the number of beams as a function of the number of total dose conditions and the number of single beam dose conditions.
