Abstract: A calender has a bunched array of rollers with two end-rollers and a number of intermediate rollers. In operation two neighbouring rollers, each of which sags slightly, form a nip. The sag of adjacent rollers (i, i + 1) differs. especially the second roller facing the concave surface of the first roller, has less sag than the first. Also claimed is a process to treat a material web passing through several nips where it is subjected to pressure and each nip is formed by a first and second roller. The sag in each roller has a bending amplitude on the convex side of the first roller which is essentially identical to the bending amplitude on the concave side of the second roller. Each roller has a set of support bearings left and right. The distance MbML between the bearings on one roller is 0.1 to 2 per cent different to the distance MbML in the second roller bearing, with reference to the longer of the two dimensions. At least one of the intermediate bearings has a variable bearing distance MbML.

Abstract: A node identification system is described for use in a computer system
in which the various components of the system are interconnected via nodes
on a communications bus. Once the topology of the nodes has been resolved
into an acyclic directed graph, each node may be assigned a non-predetermined
unique address. Each node having a plurality of ports has an
apriori assigned priority for port selection. Each child node connected to a
parent is allowed to respond in the predetermined sequence depending upon
the port through which it is connected to its parent. Each node in the graph
will announce its presence according to its location in the graph. Each
receives an address incremented from the previous addresses assigned,
thereby insuring uniqueness. The same mechanism may be implemented to
allow each node in turn to broadcast information on the bus concerning the
parameters of its local host. Likewise, additional information may be
conveyed from each node concerning connections to other nodes thereby
allowing a host system to generate a map of the resolved topology including
any information about disabled links which may be used for redundancy
purposes.

Abstract: A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a
die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and
fixed chamber sections (28,29). A dam (33) in the fixed section forms a pond
(72) for immersion cooling of the extrudate. A truss (35) extends from the
dam to the bulkhead supporting shaping and calibration equipment and
extends through the telescoping section. Fluid pressurizable seals at each end
of the telescoping section are operable after the telescoping section is closed
against the bulkhead and the telescoping and fixed sections are locked
together. The telescoping section provide a more compact line and easier
access to the complex equipment downstream of the die. The extrudate from
the die passes down into the pond (72) and then through an orifice (74) in a
hood (75) projecting from the chamber into a lower level portion of the pond
(78) exposed to atmosphere. The hood also includes a tractor drive (88) to
push the extrudate through the underwater orifice. The hood and its contents
are accessible through the atmospheric pond. A tractor haul-off and the
tractor drive in the hood are the only extrudate drives between the calibration
equipment and atmosphere. The higher level of the pond (72) within the
chamber downstream of the dam is controlled by a valve in turn controlling
the output of a pump. The valve control senses the pond level and operates
independently of the vacuum controls.

Abstract: A method for describing pattern repetitiveness which may exist within an image, is
provided. The method of describing pattern repetitiveness of an image comprises:
   (a) projecting an image on a predetermined axis having a predetermined direction,   (b) decomposing the projected image down one level, (c) increasing a threshold
value until a pattern quantizing value is retained, and denoising the decomposed
data, and (d) describing pattern repetitiveness of the image using the pattern
quantizing value of the denoised data and the threshold value used for denoising.
Because the method of describing pattern repetitiveness of an image effectively
denoises the original image without damaging the pattern repetitiveness of the
original image, and the pattern repetitiveness is described using the denoised data, it
is possible to describe more definite pattern repetitiveness.

Abstract: A method of MRI includes supporting a subject in an examination region (14) of an MRI
scanner (A), and setting up a spin system with a net magnetization. An inversion pulse is
applied which inverts the magnetization of the spin system in a selected volume of the
subject. As the magnetization re-grows, a first set of raw data is generated by acquiring MR
signals from a series of regions within the selected volume. For the first set of raw data, the
series of regions are acquired in a first temporal order with respect to the inversion pulse.
The inversion pulse is re-applied, and as the magnetization re-grows, a second set of raw
data is generated in similar fashion to the first. However, for the second set of raw data, the
series of regions are acquired in a second temporal order with respect to the inversion pulse.
The second temporal order is different from the first temporal order. From the first and
second sets of raw data, respectively, first and second sets of complex image data are
generated. A complex phase correction factor is then determined and applied to one of, or
both, the first and second sets of complex image data to thereby phase match the same. A
combined image is generated via a pixel by pixel complex combination of the phase
matched first and second sets of complex image data.
