German term
unablässig
German to English
Medical
Medical: Instruments
magnetic resonance tomograph
Sound damping a magnetic resonance tomograph. Author makes distinction between airborne sound transmission and the transmission of structure borne sounds, he goes on to say: Ein Gesamtschalldämmmaß setzt sich prinzipiell aus der bauseitigen Schalldämmung sowie der Verbesserung des ∆ R-Wertes der HF-Kabinenkonstruktion zusammen.Zur Ermittlung der Schalldämmmaßnahmen sind diverse Eingangsparameter unablässig. Sie bilden die Grundlage, um die Schallschutzmaßnahmen optimal auf die gegebene Gebäudestruktur abstimmen zu können.
I have difficulty understanding how unablässig makes sense here given its normal meaning.

I agree with previous commentators as to "unablässig" having been mistakenly chosen for "unerlässlich", "unabdingbar" etc. but would use the above translation.

: essential or indispensable. The German author probably meant to write "unentbehrlich"; "unablässig" makes no sense here.
