Abstract: The invention relates to a collimator ( 1 ) for defining a beam of energetic rays ( 2 ) which is emitted from an essentially punctiform radiation source ( 3 ) and is oriented onto an object ( 1 ) to be treated. The collimator is especially used for the stereotactic conformation radiotherapy of tumors. The collimator ( 1 ) is embodied in such a way that an irregular object ( 4 ) can be scanned by rays ( 2, 2 ') which are defined by an opening in the collimator. The invention also relates to a program for controlling the collimator. In order to define the contours ( 29, 29', 29 '') of the objects ( 4 ) to be irradiated in a simple but highly accurate manner, especially with a precise definition of the irradiation fields, the collimator comprises a plurality of different sized openings ( 5, 5' 5 ''). One of the openings ( 5, 5', 5 '') can be selectively displaced in a polydirectional manner on a strip ( 6 ) having a spherical surface, and the central axis ( 7 ) thereof is oriented towards the radiation source ( 3 ). The other collimator openings ( 5', 5 '') are shielded form the rays ( 2 ). A control system ( 9 ) acts on the drives ( 23, 24, 25 ) of a drive device ( 8 ) in such a way that large openings ( 5, 5 ') are used to scan large irradiation surfaces ( 26 ) of the object to be treated ( 4 ), and small openings ( 5', 5 '') are used for precise definition at the edge of the irradiation surfaces ( 26 ) of the object to be treated ( 4 ), especially in the event of irregular contours ( 29, 29', 29 '').

Abstract: An antenna arrangement includes aground conductor ( 302 ) incorporating two slots ( 304 a ,304 b) having an electrically small separation and connections ( 308 a ,308 b) for coupling a transceiver to each slot to enable the ground conductor to function as two substantially independent antennas. Such a device enables efficient diversity performance to be obtained from small volume. The ground conductor, slots and transceiver are integrated in a module ( 206 ) adapted for connection to a further ground conductor which provides the majority of the antenna area. The further conductor would typically be a printed circuit board ground plane or mobile phone handset. Matching and broadbanding circuitry may conveniently be incorporated in the module. By varying the area of the connections between the module and the further ground conductor, the resonant frequencies of the slots can be modified.
