Abstract: A three-dimensional object is formed by selectively depositing successive layers (14) of build material from a print-head (9) having a plurality of orifices or nozzles (10(1)-10(96)), such as an ink-jet type of print-head. The print-head (9) is moved (X-Y control) relative to a support platform (15) in a series of scans in the X-direction offset from one another in the Y-direction and possibly overlapping. The orifices (10(1)-10(96)) extend transversely of the scan X-direction and may be set at an angle (α) to it to control the resolution perpendicular to the scan direction. The platform (15) is movable relative to the print-head in the Z-direction for forming each successive layer (14). The build material is a flowable material and may be a radiation-curable material, such as an ultra-violet curable photo-polymer. The data according to which each layer is formed may be manipulated according to a selected build style to determine the selective activation of the print-head orifices.

Abstract: The invention comprises an efficient system and method for performing the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) in support of time-domain aliasing cancellation (TDAC) perceptive encoding compression of digital audio. In one embodiment, an AC-3 encoder performs a required time-domain to frequency-domain transformation via a MDCT. The AC-3 specification presents a non-optimized equation for calculating the MDCT. In one embodiment of the present invention, an MDCT transformer is utilized which produces the same results as carrying out the calculations directly as in the AC-3 equation, but requires substantially lower computational resources. Because the TDAC scheme requires MDCT calculations on differing block sizes, called the long and short blocks, one embodiment of the present invention utilizes complex-valued premultiplication and postmultiplication steps which prepare and arrange the data samples so that both the long and short block transforms may be computed with a computationally efficient FFT. The premultiplication and postmultiplication steps are carefully structured to work with FFT's in a manner which will give the same numeric results as would be achieved with a direct calculation of the MDCT.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a brew pot which facilitates production of a single-vessel brewing machine with two outer filter elements and an outer heating unit. To this end, a bottomless middle part (10) is linked with two hollow lids (13a, 13b) via gaskets (14, 18) and bent-lever ring closures. Since there are no filter elements located on the bottom that stop the supply of heat, the brew pot can be heated from outside via the hollow lids. At the end of a partial brewing process a filter disk is inserted into the tension springs in the upper hollow lid and is pushed down to the lower hollow lid and into the tension springs together with the material to be filtered. By turning the brew pot upside down the filled hollow lid is brought to the top. Once it has been removed and cleaned, it can be reapplied together with the stirring apparatus and measuring devices to start the second partial brewing process. Due to its design and its simple operability the brew pot is particularly useful for home hobby brewers since on the basis of said pot an inexpensive machine can be put on the market.
