Abstract

A system for transmitting data between a rotating part and a stationary part, such as is suitable for use in a computer tomography apparatus, has a wiper ring assembly and a number of electronic components disposed on the rotating part from which data is to be transmitted with a minimum of disturbance to the stationary part. A common power supply is provided on one of the stationary part or the rotating part, which powers all components. This common power supply is connected to the components on the other part via a further wiper ring assembly, or via further wiper ring assemblies.
