Abstract: The present method is a process for reprojecting, or computing tomographic projections of an image, based on multilevel image domain decomposition. The method includes decomposing an image into one or more sub-images, followed by reprojection of the sub-images into sinograms, appropriate scaling of the sinograms, and aggregation of the sub-image sinograms into a single sinogram of the entire image. The multilevel process attains image quality comparable to that of direct reprojection methods, while requiring much less computation, and therefore being much faster.

Abstract: The method involves transporting the circuit boards (LP) through a treatment unit (1). The boards are moved by pairs of rollers (13,14), in a horizontal transport path and on a transport plane (2) and they are brought into contact with a treatment fluid. An impulse wave generator mechanism (50) transmits mechanical impulses (57) direct to each circuit board, using the transport device and/or the treatment fluid. The strength of the waves is increased by placing plates or foils, to act as reflectors (58) on the side of the side remote from each impulse generator mechanism. There may be two impulse generator mechanisms, one on either side of the path followed by the circuit boards.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new and improved method for quickly and accurately determining the rotor blade angle of a wind power installation. The present invention also allows for the rotor blade angle measurements to be taken from the ground, thereby allowing the measuring equipment to be easily disconnected and transported to other sites. For example, a rotor blade angle of a wind power installation may be determined by using a spacing measuring device to measure the spacing between the rotor blade and the spacing measuring device. The measurements may then be processed in a computer to calculate the angle between the rotor blade and the spacing measuring device. Once this angle (the alpha angle) is ascertained, it may be compared to other values to assist in further adjusting the rotor blade angle.
