Abstract: A frequency tracking arrangement in which a frequency tracking circuit utilises a continuously variable analogue first order all-pass filter circuit as a controllable phase-shift element in a closed-loop system which produces a control signal to control the phase shift circuit to introduce a 90 DEG  phase shift of a received reference frequency signal when the circuit is tracking that reference frequency. The control signal may then be utilised to slave the cut-off frequency of a filter and/or the delay time introduced by a delay line. <IMAGE>

Abstract: High resolution and high speed MR imaging is provided for imaged objects in which the brightness of the imaged objects dominates the surrounding tissues by using sparse angular sampling and projection acquisition techniques. Individual objects throughout a large field of view are imaged at a rate and resolution normally associated with small field of view techniques. For applications such as angiography, artifacts associated with sparse angular sampling are acceptable. Volume images are acquired by combining sparsely sampled projection in two dimensions with weighted Fourier Acquisition in the third dimension.

Abstract: High performance low discharge emitter (1) of a meander-like form, created by the addition of a thin vane (7) between the edges (4) of two successive reflectors (2) of the meander like path. The vane (7) interferes parallel to the primary flow of the water, is not in contact with the meander-like path, and creates around it two channels, a narrow one and a wide one enabling water to pass. Due to the arrangement of the meander-like form and the vane (7), all the quantity of water passes only through the high performance narrow channel, whereas the wide channel remains stand-by and inactive. Thus, a high water pressure drop is achieved, so that water discharge of the emitter (1) is reduced, and for ensuring a parallel connected wide stand-by path automatically activated as a by-pass in the case of blockage of the narrow high performance operating channel.
