Abstract: The present invention may provide a particle or radiation detector or imager (1)
which may be used for accurate recording of medical (2-D) X-ray images. The imager
(1) includes at least one detector panel. The detector panel includes a microgap detector
with an array of pixel electrodes (18) of a novel form. Each pixel electrode (18) is
insulated from a planar cathode (16) by means of an insulating layer (17). Each pixel
electrode (18) is connected to an underlying contact by means of a via hole in the
insulating layer (17). The insulating layer (17) is preferably conformal with the pixel
electrodes (18). 
     The underlying contact is connected to an electronic measuring element (14)
which preferably lies underneath the pixel electrode (18) and is about the same size as,
or smaller than the pixel electrode (18). The measuring element (14) may be a storage
device such as a capacitor, a digital counter or similar. A read-out circuit (13), e.g. a
switching transistor, is connected to the measuring device (14). The switching transistor
(13) may be a thin film transistor. Alternatively, both measuring element (14) and
transistor (13) may be formed in a single crystal semiconductor, e.g. a VLSI, and a
complete imager formed from several detector panels in an array. 
     The drift electrode (19) of the microgap detector preferably includes a
photocathode. The photocathode may be directly evaporated onto a phosphor.

Abstract: The invention refers to a control panel for a domestic appliance in which the casing
display and control elements are fitted which are mechanically and/or electrically
coupled with a printed circuit board in a pick-up casing and/or are mechanically
linked. The assembly of the control panel can be greatly simplified by the pick-up
casing consisting of two shell parts which are connected on one side by means of
tape hinges to form one piece and are closed on the opposite side by means of
latching elements, in that the printed circuit board is held in position in the isolating
area of the closed shell parts by means of fixing elements and in that in the isolating
area there is an additional pick-up for a plug to the printed circuit board.

Abstract: So as to shape the spatial amplification characteristic of an
acoustical to electrical converter arrangement at least two
sub-arrangements (I, II) of converters are provided, generating
different spatial amplification characteristics. Frequency domain
converted signals ( S ∼   1 ) which are proportional to the output
signals of the sub-arrangement are compared in a unit (39)
on respective spectral frequencies (f s ) and there is generated
at the output of the comparing unit (39) a binary spectral comparison
result signal (A 39 ). Signals ( S ∼   2 ) which are as well
proportional to the output signals of the sub-arrangements (I,
II) are fed to a switching unit (41). For each spectral frequency
(f s ) the control signal from unit 39, as a binary spectral
signal, controls the spectral amplitude of which of the
two input signals ( S ∼   2 ) is passed to the output (A 41 ) of the
switching unit and of the arrangement.

Abstract: The touch sensitive contact device comprises a capacitor (2) connected to an operational amplifier (3). This forms an oscillator which is tuned to the frequency of surveillance, and which becomes perturbed by human presence. There is also a power supply (4) and a microprocessor (6) which compares the frequency of the oscillator to a value stored in the memory. The processor outputs a control signal to a relay (5), according to predetermined conditions programmed into the microprocessor. The capacitor (2) contains a third electrode (9) for output of test frequency to the microprocessor, which is different from the control and the surveillance frequencies. The test frequency signal is input to the microprocessor which determines the difference between the input and output frequencies and outputs a signal for the control of an alarm connected via the default output (11). The microprocessor is connected via an information block (14) to a computer in control center of tele-surveillance (13). The frequency of the oscillator (2-3), or the surveillance frequency, is of the order of 10 kHz. The control frequency is 50 Hz, and the test frequency is of the order of 1 kHz.

Abstract: A method of assessing the offset on the output nodes of an amplifying channel by
generating a logic signal signalling the existence of an offset of a level exceeding
a window of permitted levels symmetric about the zero level, defined by a
negative limit value and by a positive limit value, consists in
     establishing an interval or phase of detection by applying to an input of a
detection circuit a timing pulse with a certain frequency;   sensing the rising edge of the timing pulse and setting a bistable circuit;   comparing the signal on the output nodes of the amplifiers channel with said
window of permitted values;   resetting said bistable circuit upon the occurrence, after said initial setting,
of an output signal amplitude within said window of permitted values;   failure of said bistable circuit to reset before the end of the detection phase
signalling an excessive offset.

value of the residual signal or related value within the
range centered on first lag value T1 or a lag value twice
first lag value T1 or its integer part including
fractional lag values before and after that lag value.

Abstract: In an information recording apparatus for recording
information onto a recording medium by utilizing a
technology in a near-field microscope, the information
recording apparatus carries out recording with reliability
and density. An optical probe (1) or micro-cantilever
(12) utilized in a near-field microscope is used as a
recording probe (26). The recording probe (26) at its tip
is heated by laser light (28) illumination or heating by
an electric heating element to radiate microscopic-region
thermal energy through the tip to a recording medium (3).
This makes it possible to record microscopically
information onto the recording medium (3) that varies in
physical properties due to heating. Furthermore, thermal
energy is provided to a recording position through an
auxiliary heat radiating means thereby enabling recording
more positively.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic image distribution apparatus for distributing motion panoramic images. The main portion of the apparatus is a motion panoramic image server that has a source of motion panoramic images. The source of panoramic image frames may be a motion panoramic image playback device or a connection to a motion panoramic camera system. The motion panoramic image server transforms the panoramic image frames into an intermediate format that is more conducive for electronic transmission. The motion panoramic image server then transmits the motion panoramic images to client systems. A first panoramic image transmission system divides the intermediate planar representation into individual tiles and transmits tiles that are requested by client systems. A second panoramic image transmission system divides the intermediate planar representation into individual tiles and transmits the individual tiles on different multicast channels. Client systems then subscribe to the multicast channels needed to render an image in the direction of a desired view.

Abstract: An ink jet printhead optimally utilizes the surface area of the upper face of a silicon die, even in the case of a non-monochromatic head having plural ink tanks. For each tank of ink, the ink includes one pass-through slot that departs from the lower face of the silicon die and terminates in a wider trench in the upper face. The pass-through slot is made using a chemical etching type incision technique known as "inductively coupled plasma" (ICP), thus maximizing the distance between the different ink tanks and, simultaneously, minimizing the distance between the different groups of nozzles on the upper face of the die. Accordingly, the risk of the silicon substrate breaking during any of the various stages of manufacture is considerably reduced.
