Abstract: A support column 3 holds an X-ray tube 1 having a collimator and is held by a linear
guide on a side of a main frame 4 and moved in the longitudinal direction of a table top board
by a motor via a gear and a rack. An image receiving system 5 to hold an image intensifier 6

Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus for transmission that provides the
performance of space time spreading (STS) or orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD) and the
backwards compatibility of phase sweep transmit diversity (PSTD) without degrading
performance of either STS or PSTD using a symmetric sweep PSTD transmission
architecture. In one embodiment, a pair of signals s 1  and s 2  are split into signals s 1 (a) and
s 1 (b) and signals s 2 (a) and s 2 (b), respectively. Signal s 1  comprises a first STS/OTD signal
belonging to an STS/OTD pair, and signal s 2  comprises a second STS/OTD signal belonging
to the STS/OTD pair. Signals s 1 (b) and s 2 (b) are phase swept using a pair of phase sweep
frequency signals that would cancel out any self induced interference. For example, the pair
of phase sweep frequency signals utilize a same phase sweep frequency with one of the phase
sweep frequency signals rotating in the opposite direction plus an offset of π relative to the
other phase sweep frequency signal. The resultant phase swept signals s 1 (b) and s 2 (b) are
added to signals s 2 (a) and s 1 (a) before being amplified and transmitted.

Title: M:N path protection
Inventor: KAILBACH WALTER
IPC: H04J3/08
Filed: 2002-08-05
Abstract: An 1:n or m:n path protection mechanism is provided. Rather than defining
an automatic protection protocol, use is made of the existing tandem
connection monitoring function, tandem connection reverse defect indication
(RDI), and tandem connection trail trace identifier. Upon detection of a failure
on the working path segment (1W), the occurrence of this failure is
communicated to the far end node by inserting forced RDI into the tandem
connection as long as the failure persists. In the case of more than one
protected paths, the failed path is identified by means of the unique trail trace
identifier received on the protection path. In the case of several protection
paths, one network node is defined as slave node which has to follow the
switch-over initiated by the master node and choose the same protection path
as the master node. Preferably, a combination of two timers enables return
from failure condition to normal operation.

Abstract: A mobile node MN registers a care-of address CoA of a destination
with a home agent HA. A node CN to communicate with the mobile node
MN inquires a name server DNSY about the care-of address CoA of the
mobile node. The name server DNSY obtains the care-of address CoA
from the home agent HA and sends it to the node CN in reply. The node
CN communicates with the mobile node MN by using the care-of address as
the destination address. Alternatively, an access router provided in a subnet
holds the care-of address CoA, and forwards packets to the mobile node.
This reduces the control traffic and eliminates the triangle routing.
