Abstract: A phased array antenna system that is operative to simultaneously form multiple beams without requiring an undue amount of hardware. The system collects propagating energy with a number of antenna elements to form multiple beams, encodes the beams as the energy is collected, combines the encoded beams, and then decodes the combined signal to separate the beams. In this way, the beams can be formed with a single set of antenna hardware instead of requiring a multiplicity of antenna hardware, one for each beam. Frequency coding may be implemented by repeatedly applying a Doppler phase shift to each beam, and then using a Doppler filter to separate the beams. Alternatively, a code division multiplexing technique may be implemented by using a CDMA code generator to apply a code to each beam, and then using a CDMA filter to separate the beams.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing continuously molded bodies from a molding material, such as a spinning solution containing cellulose, water and tertiary amine oxide. The apparatus ( 1 ) comprises a die plate ( 3 ) including extrusion orifices ( 4 ) through which the molding material is extruded into substantially filament-like continuously molded bodies ( 5 ). The continuously molded bodies ( 5 ) are passed through an air gap ( 6 ) and guided in a precipitation bath ( 9 ) by a deflector ( 10 ) to a bundling means ( 12 ) where they are united into a bundle of fibers. In the air gap, a blowing means ( 14 ) is provided for directing a cooling gas stream ( 15 ) onto the continuously molded bodies ( 5 ) in a direction transverse to the direction of passage ( 7 ). To improve the spinning stability and mechanical properties of the continuously molded bodies, it is intended according to the invention that directly with respect to the extrusion orifices ( 4 ) a first shielding zone ( 20 ) is arranged by which the extrusion orifices are shielded against the action of the cooling gas stream.

Abstract: Method and system for measuring transmission quality of an audio transmission system under test. Specifically, an input signal (X), such as an original input speech signal, is applied to the audio transmission system which results in an output signal (Y) produced by the transmission system. Both signals X and Y are mutually processed to yield a perceived quality signal. In accordance with the invention, output signal Y and/or input signal X are scaled such that, depending on a ratio of power of these two signals, relatively small deviations of power between these signals are compensated, while relatively larger deviations are only partially compensated. Further, an artificial reference speech signal may be created for which noise levels present in the input speech signal are reduced by a scale factor which reflects a local level of the noise in that input signal.
