Abstract: A non-diagnostic, stereoscopic x-ray tracking method uses two x-ray tubes (1, 2) to alternately and repeatedly record x-ray images of an object (O[1]-O[3]) along two different viewing lines (X[1,1], X[1,2], X[1,3], X[2,1'], X[2,2'], X[2,3']). An extrapolated object trajectory is ascertained by determining surfaces and intersecting points. The minimum traverse from the object trajectory onto a current viewing line is ascertained and the three-dimensional position of the tracked object is approximated at the point at which the object trajectory meets the viewing line. The non-diagnostic, stereoscopic x-ray tracking method involves using two x-ray devices to repeatedly record x-ray images of an object along two different point of views through a target area of an irradiating apparatus, the two different points of view intersecting at a known angle. The two x-ray devices are controlled such that each x-ray device alternately obtains an image of the object as the object moves through the target area, and with the assistance of a computer. The method includes determining a first surface that is spanned by a first viewing line from the first x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at an earlier point in time and a second viewing line from the first x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at a later point in time; determining a first intersecting point from a third viewing line from the second x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at a point in time between the earlier point in time and the later point in time, and the first spanned surface; determining a second surface, where the later point in time becomes a new earlier point in time, and where the second surface is spanned by the second viewing line from the first x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at the new earlier point in time and a fourth viewing line from the first x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at a new later point in time; and determining a second intersecting point from a fifth viewing line from the second x-ray device to the object in an image recorded at a point in time between the new earlier point in time and the new later point in time, and the second spanned surface. A spatial straight connecting line that connects the first and second intersecting points is calculated. A minimum transversal between the spatial straight connecting line and the fourth viewing line of the object at the new later point in time is calculated. A three-dimensional position of the tracked object is approximated from an intersecting point of the minimum transversal and the fourth line of site at the new later point in time. Independent claims are included for: (1) computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for non-diagnostic, stereoscopic x-ray tracking of moving objects in the context of radiotherapy and radiosurgery; and (2) stereoscopic x-ray tracking device for tracking moving objects in the context of radiotherapy and radiosurgery.

Abstract: Turbomachinery (10,12), normally used solely for a function such as electrical power generation, is accelerated or decelerated to exchange angular momentum with a vehicle in which it is installed. Electrical voltage output requirements are maintained during these rotational speed changes by coupling excess electrical output to a parasitic load. Multiple sets of turbomachinery rotating on a common axis, but in opposite directions, may be used to meet varying power requirements that require spin speed variations, without any net exchange of momentum. In this case, momentum exchange is effected when desired by varying the spin speed of one of the counterrotating sets of machinery. Multiple sets of turbomachinery may be positioned to rotate about different axes, to provide attitude control about two or more axes.

Abstract: The present invention has for its problem to be solved to provide a technique in which in an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine with a filter being arranged on an exhaust passage for trapping PM in an exhaust gas, it is possible to suppress an excessive rise in temperature of the filter during execution of filter regeneration control more preferably. In the present invention, when the amount of intake air in the internal combustion engine decreases up to an amount at which an excessive rise in temperature of the filter might be induced during the execution of filter regeneration control, the oxygen concentration of an ambient atmosphere around the filter is decreased up to a target oxygen concentration. At this time, when the amount of intake air being decreased is more than a certain amount, the oxygen concentration of the ambient atmosphere around the filter is lowered mainly by supplying a reducing agent to a catalyst that is arranged at a location upstream of the filter or supported on the filter (S106). On the other hand, when the amount of intake air being decreased is equal to or less than the certain amount, the oxygen concentration of the ambient atmosphere around the filter is lowered mainly by performing exhaust gas throttling by means of an exhaust gas throttle valve (S104).

Abstract: A multi-channel audio encoder (10) for encoding a multi-channel audio signal (101), e.g. a 5.1 channel audio signal, into a spatial down-mix (102), e.g. a stereo signal, and associated parameters (104, 105). The encoder (10) comprises first and second units (110, 120). The first unit (110) encodes the multi-channel audio signal (101) into the spatial down-mix (102) and parameters (104). These parameters (104) enable a multi-channel decoder (20) to reconstruct the multi-channel audio signal (203) from the spatial down-mix (102). The second unit (120) generates, from the spatial down-mix (102), parameters (105) that enable the decoder to reconstruct the spatial down-mix (202) from an alternative down-mix (103), e.g. a so-called artistic down-mix that has been manually mixed in a sound studio. In this way, the decoder (20) can efficiently deal with a situation in which an alternative down-mix (103) is received instead of the regular spatial, down-mix (102). In the decoder (20), first the spatial down-mix (202) is reconstructed from the alternative down-mix (103) and the parameters (105). Next, the spatial down-mix (202) is decoded into the multi-channel audio signal (203).
