Abstract: A power amplifier (figure 1) for a parametric loudspeaker system which utilizes switch-mode power conversion (110) to increase efficiency. The power amplifier is configured to coordinate the switching frequency of the amplifier with the carrier frequency of the parametric loudspeaker system, so a lower switching frequency may be used even though the power amplifier must amplify ultrasonic signals. The amplifier can be further optimised to counteract the reactance of the transducer load (118) at the carrier frequency.

Abstract: A method and system for instantaneous heat-sink soldering comprising a gripper device, an intense heat source, and an air-jet cooling system is provided for soldering terminals to structures of dissimilar material composition. The gripper device is adapted to secure the terminal between a pair of jaws and selectively position the terminal closely adjacent the structure. The jaws further serve as heat sinks to continually remove residual heat from the terminal, both during and after the application of heat to the terminal. Upon termination of the heat application, air-jet cooling is provided to the terminal to quickly cool the terminal and the molten layer of solder. The method of rapidly heating and cooling the terminal and layer of solder prevents the annealing of certain silica substrates and provides better solder connections. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A call set-up method is described between a mobile terminal making the call and a mobile terminal receiving the call, with presence check. The method proposed by the invention provides the particularity of performing an automatic channel switch, without the user's intervention, in the case that the start channel is busy, reserved, or in another state prohibiting the call set-up at that moment. To do this, it sends a start signal to the called terminal, with an eventual hop from one channel to another comprised on its list of direct mode frequency, the action being repeated until a connected signal is received with the subsequent call set-up, or a reject signal is received, no response has been obtained, or the user abandons the call, in which case the call set-up is not reached. <IMAGE>
