Abstract
A device in accordance with the invention for transmitting data between a rotating part and a stationary part of a computer tomograph comprises at least two couplers and receivers connected therewith for receiving signals from a transmission conductor arrangement. Using an evaluation means, a signal is selected from signals received by the receiver on the basis of at least one given quality criterion.
Claims14
A device for transmitting data between a first part and a second part of a computer tomograph, the parts being rotatable relative to each other, in which the first part comprises:
- at least one data source;
- at least one transmission means for receiving data from the data source and transmitting signals;
- and
- a transmission conductor arrangement which is fed by the transmission means for guiding the signals along at least a predetermined region of the first part;
- and the second part comprises:
- a receiving coupler arrangement for tapping signals from the transmission conductor arrangement;
- at least one receiving means for receiving signals from the receiving coupler arrangement;
- a data sink for evaluating or further processing the data supplied by the receiving means;
- wherein the receiving coupler arrangement includes at least two couplers, at least one coupler being engaged with the transmission conductor arrangement at any moment during a transmission;
- and
- wherein the receiving means comprises at least two receivers, each connected to at least one coupler, and also an evaluation means for evaluating signals from the receivers, and the evaluation means selects, on the basis of at least one predetermined quality criterion of the signals from the receivers, the data from at least one receiver for forwarding to the data sink.
