Abstract: The curtain coating assembly (10), to coat the surface of a moving web substrate (U) with a paste or liquid coating (18) and especially a pigment suspension, has a jet unit (14) at the applicator (12) to deliver a coating curtain (18). At least one guide (22) is in the falling path of the coating curtain, which directs the coating over the whole curtain width over at least a part of its falling path. The web curtain coating assembly has a guide in the path of the falling coating curtain, which divides it into a path section (24) between the feed and the guide, and a second path section (26) between the guide and the moving substrate. The guide can be directly at the delivery jet. The variable length of the curtain coating which covers the guide is measured in the direction of its movement. The guide forms an included angle ( alpha ) of 5-30 degrees with the direction of the curtain coating free fall line. The surface (22a) of the guide, covered by the coating medium, forms an included angle ( beta ) with the end surface (22b) of the guide of 20-60 degrees . The guide can be a guide scraper against the substrate. The guide is pitched at an angle of 20-80 degrees in the required flow direction, and preferably 45-80 degrees . The end of the guide surface towards the moving substrate can be extended at an angle of 30-50 degrees . The guide can also cover the whole flow stretch for the coating medium, between the delivery jet and the moving substrate. The surface of the guide, towards the coating medium, has a hydrophobic character, or has a hydrophobic cladding of a treated glass fiber film. At least the end surface of the guide is free of hydrophobic cladding. The coating curtain flows over the upper surface of the guide, or along its under surface. At least one electrode can be at the guide, on the side away from the flowing coating. A suction box is at the moving substrate, in front of the contact line where the coating curtain strikes it, together with a scraper at the entry and/or exit side, with a scraping edge lying on the moving substrate. The scraper at the exit side can be formed by the coating guide. The coating curtain flows over the guide surface, in a length (l) of 1-200 mm and preferably 1-50 mm. The travel speed of the substrate is 1000-3000 m/min. for a paper web and 200-1000 m/min. for a cardboard web. The coating is applied in ready doses to the substrate surface. The delivery jet has a coating delivery rate of 2-200 l/min. per meter of the web width. The length (H) of the coating curtain is 5-400 mm and preferably 40-200 mm. The guide is of metal or plastics e.g. a plastics with reinforcement carbon or glass fibers. The guide has a thickness (D) of 0.2-1.0 mm. The guide is positioned at the applicator, at an angle to the moving substrate of 70 degrees , in either direction. The guide can have a convex or concave curvature, with a curved surface at a tangent to the free fall of the coating curtain, in either direction, at an angle of up to 70 degrees .

Abstract: In a method for achieving higher S/N, one or more signals are received and processed to provide one or more streams of samples. In a first processing scheme, the sample stream(s) are equalized and combined within an equalizer to generate symbol estimates, which maybe subsequently processed (e.g. despread and decovered) to provide a first stream of recovered symbols. The sample stream(s) may be equalized prior to being combined. In this case, each sample stream is filtered with a set of coefficients and may be scaled with a scaling factor. The scaled samples for all streams are then combined to generate the symbol estimates. Alternatively, the sample stream(s) may be combined prior to being equalized. In this case, each sample stream is scaled by a scaling factor. The scaled samples for all streams are then combined to generate summed samples that are further filtered with a set of coefficients to generate the symbol estimates. The sample stream(s) may also be processed by a second processing scheme with one or more rake receivers to provide a second stream of recovered symbols. The signal quality for each processing scheme can be estimated and used to select either the first or second processing scheme.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'imagerie IRM notamment conçu pour des applications pour lesquelles une durée d'acquisition aussi courte que possible est recherchée. Le procédé est fondé sur le procédé SENSE (codage de la sensibilité) permettant l'acquisition d'images avec un champ de vue (FOV) réduit; une détection parallèle multicanal est ensuite effectuée par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de réception possédant plusieurs profils de sensibilité spatiale. L'invention est fondée sur la reconnaissance du fait que des résonateurs du type « cage d'oiseau » classiques peuvent être réglés selon différents modes de résonance dont les profils de sensibilité spatiale dévient fortement. Un résonateur du type « cage à oiseau » composé d'une pluralité de sous-résonateurs peut fonctionner de manière simultanée selon différents modes de résonances à une certaine fréquence de résonance et permet une détection de signal indépendante et parallèle avec plusieurs profils de sensibilité; selon l'invention, cette caractéristique est utilisée pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé SENSE.

Abstract: Depending on the lateral width thereof, an image recording material P is stably positioned on a recording drum, employing two positioning pins with an appropriate pitch therebetween. Non-contacting portions prevent any irrelevant positioning pins from coming into contact with the material P.  The material P may be transported onto the recording drum 5 while one end thereof constitutes an angle U with a rotation axis 5N of the recording drum 5. A reference notch 44ae first fits with a positioning pin 51a. Thereafter, as the aforementioned end of the material P abuts with a positioning pin 51b, accurate positioning occurs.  Each positioning pin 51 includes a tapered portion having a reference taper angle 2T. When a leading-end clamp 52 clamps the aforementioned end, the material P comes in contact with the tapered portion, with a reduced friction force against the positioning pin 51, thereby preventing deformation of the material P.
