Abstract: A multidirectional audio decoder using an "adaptive" audio matrix derives at least one of a plurality of output audio signals from two or more directionally-encoded audio input signal streams (S 1 (alpha), S 2 (alpha), . . . SN(alpha), wherein alpha is the encoded angle of a source audio signal. Each output signal is associated with a principal direction beta. In order to generate each output signal, a pair of intermediate signals ("antidominant" signals) are generated, constituting the antidominant signal for each of the two adjacent principal output directions of the decoder. The antidominant signal for any arbitrary principal (or "dominant") direction is the combination of input signals having coefficients such that the combination goes to zero for that dominant direction. Amplitude control is applied to the two antidominant signals to deliver a pair of signals having substantially equal magnitudes that are additively or subtractively combined to provide the output audio signal associated with a principal direction. The pair of signals that are combined include passive matrix components. In an alternative embodiment, passive matrix components for the output signal are derived instead by applying the input audio signals to a passive matrix and by combining the passive matrix components with pairs of amplitude controlled versions of the antidominant signals that do not include passive matrix components. For sources from one direction at a time, there is little or no unwanted crosstalk into outputs that should be silent (ie., there is substantially no signal in outputs other than the two representing directions adjacent to the desired direction, except when the desired direction happens to correspond to that of an output, in which case there is a signal in substantially only that output).

Abstract: An improved x-ray tube cooling system is disclosed. The system utilizes a shield structure that is connected between a cathode cylinder and an x-ray tube housing and is disposed between the electron source and the target anode. The shield includes a plurality of cooling fins to improve overall cooling of the x-ray tube and the shield so as to extend the life of the x-ray tube and related components. When immersed in a reservoir of coolant fluid, the fins facilitate improved heat transfer by convection from the shield to the to the coolant fluid. The cooling effect achieved with the cooling fins is further augmented by a convective cooling system provided by a plurality of fluid passageways formed within the shield, which are used to provide a fluid path to the coolant. In particular, a cooling unit takes fluid from the reservoir, cools the fluid, then circulates the cooled fluid through the fluid passageways. One or more depressions of "V" shaped cross section defined on the surfaces of the fluid passageways serve to facilitate nucleate boiling of the coolant in the passageway, and thereby materially increase the heat flux through the passageway to the coolant. Additionally, one or more extended surfaces disposed on the surfaces of the fluid passageways also facilitate a relative increase in the rate of heat transfer from the shield structure to the coolant. After flowing through the fluid passageway, the coolant is then discharged from the fluid passageways and directed over the cooling fins. In some embodiments, the fluid passageways are oriented so as to provide a greater heat transfer rate in certain sections of the shield than in other sections. Also disclosed is an improved braze joint for connecting the shield to the x-ray tube housing.
