Das von Texas-Instruments (TI) vertriebene Interface CBL2 wird über einige TI-Grafik-Rechner (TI-92, TI-89 usw.) angesteuert. Wegen seiner Handlichkeit wird dieses System beim Unterricht in wechselnden Räumen »großen« Messwerterfassungssystemen oft vorgezogen. Das CBL2 bietet drei analoge Eingänge, die immerhin mit 10 Bit Auflösung und bis zu einer Frequenz von 50 kHz arbeiten. Weiterhin besitzt das CBL2 eine Buchse für angeblich nur einen digitalen Ein- bzw. Ausgang. An diesem Eingang wird standardmäßig hauptsächlich der Bewegungssensor CBR betrieben. In diesem Beitrag werden Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten dieses Anschlusses beschrieben.
Kunstwerke sowie ihre Präsentation und Vermittlung werden zunehmend von digitalen Technologien unterstützt. Virtuelle Ausstellungen, Internet-Projekte und komplexe Datenarchive stellen das Kunstwerk in einen medialen Kontext, der weit über das Moment einer technischen Reproduzierbarkeit hinausgeht. Das allgegenwärtige Konzept der Vernetzung dynamisiert Kunst, ihre Rezipienten und Ausstellungsorte. Die Beziehungen zwischen diesen Feldern werden mit Hilfe physiologischer Metaphern definiert und visualisiert. Frühere Speicher und Archive geraten in einen prozessualen Sog, in dem alles fluktuiert, sich kurzweilig verknüpft, auflöst und in permanente Dialoge mit seiner Umgebung tritt - das virtuelle Museum gerät in aktuellen Standortbestimmungen in die definitorische Nähe des Künstlichen Lebens.

Within the Crystal Clear Collaboration (CCC), four centers are developing second generation high performance small animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanners for different kinds of animals and medical applications. The first prototypes are photomultiplier tube (PMT)-based systems including depth of interaction (DOI) detection by using a phoswich layer of lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) and lutetium yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuYAP). The aim of these simulation studies is to optimize sensitivity and spatial resolution of given designs, which vary in fields of view (FOVs) caused by different detector configurations (ring/octagon) and sizes. For this purpose the simulation tool GEANT3 (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland) was used.

The aim of these simulation studies is to optimize sensitivity and spatial resolution of given designs, which vary in FOVs caused by different detector configurations (ring/octagon) and sizes. For this purpose the simulation tool GEANT3 (CERN) was used. The simulations have shown that all PMT designs with one-to-one coupling of crystals have a very nonlinear axial sensitivity profile. By shifting every other PMT 1/4 of a PMT length in axial direction the sampling of the FOVs became more homogeneous. At an energy threshold of 350keV the regression coefficient increases from 0.818 for the non-shifted to 0.993 for the shifted design. Simulations of a point source centred in the FOV (threshold: 350keV) resulted in sensitivities of 4.2% for a 4×20PMT (LSO/LuYAP a 10mm) and 3.8% for a 4×16PMT (LSO/LuYAP a 8mm) ring design. The 3D-MLEM reconstruction of a point source shows the enormous improvement of resolution using a crystal double layer with DOI (3.1mm at 40mm from CFOV) instead of a 20mm single layer (11.9mm).
Cement augmentation is an emerging surgical procedure in which bone cement is used to infiltrate and reinforce osteoporotic vertebrae. Although this infiltration procedure has been widely applied, it is performed empirically and little is known about the flow characteristics of cement during the injection process. We present a theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the intertrabecular bone permeability during the infiltration procedure. The cement permeability was considered to be dependent on time, bone porosity, and cement viscosity in our analysis. In order to determine the time-dependent permeability, ten cancellous bone cores were harvested from osteoporotic vertebrae, infiltrated with acrylic cement at a constant flow rate, and the pressure drop across the cores during the infiltration was measured. The viscosity dependence of the permeability was determined based on published experimental data. The theoretical model for the permeability as a function of bone porosity and time was then fit to the testing data. Our findings suggest that the intertrabecular bone permeability depends strongly on time. For instance, the initial permeability (60.89 mm4/N.s) reduced to approximately 63% of its original value within 18 seconds. This study is the first to analyze cement flow through osteoporotic bone. The theoretical and experimental models provided in this paper are generic. Thus, they can be used to systematically study and optimize the infiltration process for clinical practice.
