Patent EP-1294494-B1 (EP)

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer is formed by a plurality of cMUT cells, each comprising a charged diaphragm plate capacitively opposing an oppositely charged base plate. The diaphragm plate is distended toward the base plate by a bias charge. The base plate includes a central portion elevated toward the center of the diaphragm plate to cause the charge of the cell to be of maximum density at the moving center of the diaphragm plate. For harmonic operation the drive pulses applied to the cells are predistorted in consideration of the nonlinear operation of the device to reduce contamination of the transmit signal at the harmonic band. The cMUT cells can be fabricated by conventional semiconductor processes and hence integrated with ancillary transducer circuitry such as a bias charge regulator. The cMUT cells can also be fabricated by micro-stereolithography whereby the cells can be formed using a variety of polymers and other materials.

Abstract: A transport vehicle equipped with a number of first wheel sets, having wheels provided with tires, to which steering means and driving means, if any, are coupled to enable the transport vehicle to be moved over a road surface. The transport vehicle further comprises at least one second wheel set, having rail wheels, which rail wheels can be automatically moved up and down in vertical direction so as to enable, in the lowered position, a movement of the transport vehicle over rails disposed in the road surface, while simultaneously weight-relieving the wheels with tires. The rail wheels have substantially no steering function. A control mechanism steers the wheels with tires, so that the transport vehicle follows the rails. The transport vehicle functions in a transport system, to which every vehicle is welcome, provided that standards regarding driving properties, steering and safety are met. In such a transport vehicle, the respective advantages associated with transport over a road surface and track rails, respectively, are combined, thereby avoiding at least a number of disadvantages exhibited by these modes of transport individually.

The pre-perforated loose sheets (15) are printable on one or both sides in an A4 printer to constitute printed pages of the book. A bookblock (18) is formed by reconstituting the printed pre-perforated pages as a collection with their perforations (16) 15 aligned and by sewing through the perforations (16). This involves stitch-binding of individual sheets (15) instead of the usual stitch-binding of folded sheets, which makes it feasible to print the prepared collection of pre-perforated sheets using desktop publishing 20 equipment.
