Ink-ribbon cassette for inserted endless ink ribbons

The invention relates to ink-ribbon cassettes for inserted endless ink ribbons which are conveyed via mutually engaged rollers into a supply compartment located inside the housing. Continuously woven endless ink ribbons are seamless and have a long service life. They can therefore be of comparatively short design, but require a re-inking device which is generally designed in the form of a predimensioned re-inking cartridge. Endless ink ribbons produced by gluing together a stretched ribbon have a far shorter service life, despite being of the same length, due to the bonding point, which results in endless ink ribbons of this type expediently being made to be longer. Passing through the printing station too frequently is thus avoided. The greater length obviates the need for re-inking. The space gained due to the omission of the re-inking cartridge serves as an additional supply compartment. In a disadvantageous manner, different housings have previously been required for the different designs. According to the invention, a uniform housing is now proposed into which, on the one hand, a re-inking cartridge and, on the other hand, a component having the same attachment means can be inserted, which component has a contour which corresponds to one side wall and, if appropriate, the rear wall and the other side wall of the re-inking cartridge.

A display device for an electrical appliance has a UV light source for emitting UV light and a light housing with an interior space therein, wherein the UV light source radiates into the light housing and into the interior. In the luminous housing, an opening is provided to an upper side, which is closed by a cover, wherein the cover has a light-transmitting cutout. In the luminous housing or in the interior lighting material is provided flat, which is designed such that it fluoresces when illuminated with UV light and emits light for transmission through the cutout as a light indicator with a shape corresponding to the cut.

System and method for motion-adjusted device guidance using vascular roadmaps

A system and method is provided for creating motion-adjusted or motion- compensated images of a patient to guide an interventional medical procedure. The method includes displaying a static roadmap and a plurality of dynamic images to show the interventional medical device aligned on the static roadmap using a motion transformation. Alignment of the interventional medical device on the static roadmap is based on a user selection of one of motion compensation of the interventional medical device relative to the static roadmap to produce a plurality of images that do not show patient motion or motion adjustment of the static roadmap relative to the interventional medical device to produce a plurality of images that show patient motion.
