It's not just in the figure that the term appears - it's also used several times in section 3, Beatmungstechnik. Window of expectation?

synchronisation window

Erklärung:
In SIMV mode, when spontaneous breaths are absent the ventilator triggers breath
But when the patient is breathing spontaneously, and if random chance the patient based on the RR set.

begins to inspire just prior to point at which ventilator would be expected to trigger (Synchronization window) then the ventilator senses this effort and delivers the mandatory breath as an assisted patient triggered breath.

But, reading the explanations again, "assist window" is correct, too, I think.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Susanne, I got to he same conclusion!
Peer comment(s):

agree Anne Schulz : Anscheinend gibt es nicht "den" Ausdruck - synchronisation window, trigger window und assist window werden verwendet.
