Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the position of a gamma ray interaction are disclosed. A medium that emits light in response to an interaction between a gamma ray (150) and the medium (104) is provided. A plurality of photodetectors (102) is used to detect the light and determine a first three-dimensional position of the interaction. A field is produced in the medium (104) that directs ionization electrons resulting from the interaction to a collector (110). A portion of a shutter system (112) that corresponds to the interaction is opened. The shutter (112) selectively blocks and permits the passage of the ionization electrons to the collector (110). A second three-dimensional position of the interaction is determined by localizing a two-dimensional position of the interaction in the collector (110) and determining a third dimension based on a time of arrival of the ionization electrons relative to when the light is detected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a furnace (10), its method of operation and control. The invention overcomes problems associated with existing furnaces by improving the recovery rate of waste metal. In a preferred embodiment the furnace (10) comprises a cylindrical body of constant internal diameter. The furnace body (12) is mounted on a frame (15) pivoted to a ground members (16a and 16b), the furnace body (12) is adapted to be reclined or inclined or at various angles (.alpha. and .beta.); a burner (30) to heat the furnace, and a door (19a, 19b) for sealing an open end (14). As the internal walls of the furnace body (12) are of a constant diameter, it is no longer necessary to incline the furnace (10) to such a degree in order to pour molten metal, because there is no narrow neck (which previously acted like a weir). In a preferred embodiment combustion air is routed through the door hinge to the burner (30). As a result the air/fuel delivery system has gas tight rotary and elbow joints is attached to the furnace (10) and tilts and moves with the furnace (10). An artificial intelligence system monitors process variables and controls the operation of the furnace (10).

Abstract: In a wave field synthesis apparatus for driving an array of loudspeakers with drive signals, the loudspeakers being arranged at different defined positions, a drive signal for a loudspeaker being based on an audio signal associated with a virtual source having a virtual position with reference to the loudspeaker array and on the defined position of the loudspeaker, at first relevant loudspeakers of the loudspeaker array are determined on the basis of the position of the virtual source, a predefined listener position, and the defined positions of the loudspeakers, so that artifacts due to loudspeaker signals moving opposite to a direction from the virtual source to the predefined listener position are reduced. Downstream to means (20) for calculating the drive signal components for the relevant loudspeakers and for a virtual source, there is means (24) for providing the drive signal components for the relevant loudspeakers for the virtual source to the relevant loudspeakers, wherein no drive signals for the virtual source are provided to loudspeakers of the loudspeaker array not belonging to the relevant loudspeakers. With this, artifacts in an area of the audience room due to a generation wave field are suppressed, so that in this area only the useful wave field is heard in artifact-free manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of telecommunications and more particularly to a method of and system for organizing, prioritizing and placing a user's outgoing telephone calls. One embodiment of the invention allows a user to generate an electronic list of telephone calls to be made, the ordering of entries being made by priority level, higher priority entries being placed higher on the list than lower priority entries. The user simply requests that the next highest priority call in the list be made, and the method and system identifies the telephone number for the next party on the sorted list and places the call. Thus, the user can step through his list of calls without having to locate telephone numbers or waste time dealing with unimportant calls. Other embodiments allow the user to determine whether a potential callee is available, or wilting to accept his call.
