Patent EP-0370333-A3 (EP)
Title: Nmr imaging of metabolites using a multiple quantum excitation sequence
IPC: G01R33/483
Filed: 1989-11-10
Abstract: A multiple quantum excitation pulse sequence for 
producing NMR signals is optimized for reconstructing images 
of the distribution and levels of metabolites  in vivo  using 
magnetic field gradients. Unwanted signals from water are 
reduced by application of composite magnetic field gradients, 
unwanted signals from lipids are reduced by use of a 
frequency selective pulse optimized to null the lipid 
signals, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals 
produced by lactate are enhanced by the addition of two 180° 
excitation pulses to the sequence.

Title: Processing sampled analogue electrical signals
IPC: G11C27/02
Filed: 1989-12-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for 
processing sampled analogue electrical signals, each sample being 
in the form of an electrical current, the circuit arrangement 
comprising means for combining, in predetermined proportions, the 
input sample current in the present sample period with current(s) 
derived from input sample curent(s) in one or more preceding 
sample periods, and means for deriving the processed output 
signal from the combined current produced by the combining means 
in successive sample periods.  
     The circuit arrangement is formed by a plurality of modules 
which each generate and accept bi-directional signal currents and 
which contain current sources so that internally only 
unidirectional currents are processed. The transistors which 
conduct signal currents are arranged to be of one conductivity 
type only. This reduces the voltage requirements at the 
interfaces between modules.

Title: Impeller pumps
IPC: F04D29/22
Filed: 1989-09-01
Abstract: A mixed-flow impeller pump, which may be used, for example, 
as a primary pump for circulating sodium as the primary coolant in a

orientation to enable the container to be positioned in 
register with a vertically extending aperture by 
advancing or retracting the arm 8 and slewing the 
pillar 6. Lowering of the container 50 into the 
aperture is effected by operation of the winch 44. The 
articulation of the various components permits the 
device to have a compact configuration for storage on 
board a ship or transportation between ships on high 
wire or jack stay equipment also used for 
transportation of the elongate containers.

Abstract: A paper handling apparatus 10 includes a plurality 
of paper receiving trays 12, 14, 16, 18 arranged 
vertically in close proximity to one another with a 
single paper feeding mechanism 20 provided to operate 
with all of the trays 12, 14, 16, 18. The paper feeding 
mechanism 20 moves vertically to selectively engage any 
selected one of the plurality of trays 12, 14, 16, 18. 
The vertical arrangement of the trays 12, 14, 16, 18 
dictates that the trays are horizontally moveable between 
a first unselected position, where the trays are 
substantially vertically aligned with the one another, 
and a second selected position where the tray is 
horizontally moved to intersect the vertical path of the 
paper feeding mechanism 20. Horizontal movement of the 
trays 12, 14 16, 18 is effected by a single electric 
motor 28 rotatably attached to a shaft 30, which carries 
a series of gears 32, 34, 36, 38 that interact with a 
corresponding rack 40, 42, 44, 46 disposed on each of the 
trays 12, 14, 16, 18, respectively. A transmission 48 
links the motor 28 to the gears 32, 34, 36, 38 to 
selectively drive one of the gears and move one of the 
trays between the selected and unselected positions.

Title: Image processing apparatus
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1990-04-09
Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus 
for digitizing image data, comprising: an input unit 
to input luminance data; a data converter to convert 
the luminance data into density data; a mode selector 
to select a photograph mode or a character/photograph 
mode; a correction circuit to correct the density 
data on the basis of the mode selected by the selector; 
and a processor for digitizing the corrected density 
data by a digitizing method of the density preservation 
type such as an error dispersion method. When the 
character/photograph mode is selected, the correction 
circuit converts the density data of a predetermined 
value or less into white data and also converts the 
density data of a predetermined value or more into 
black data. With the apparatus, even for an image 
in which characters and photographs mixedly exist, 
an image of a high resolution in the character 
portion and a high gradation in the photograph portion 
can be regenerated. The generation of particle-like 
noises in the highlight portion of the image can be 
prevented by selecting the character/photograph mode.

Title: Method and apparatus for sample rate conversion
IPC: H04L25/05
Filed: 1991-09-19
Abstract: A method for changing the sample rate of a sampled signal into another sample rate, comprising the following method steps:   a) When the sample rate is reduced, the sampled signal is conducted through such a digital filter that the highest frequency occurring in the spectrum present after the filtering is lower than or equal to half of the sampling frequency to be newly generated. b) When the sample rate is increased, the sampled signal is conducted through such a digital filter that within the frequency range between less than or equal to half the original and half the new sample rate no spectral interference terms occur. Via the requirements for band limiting specified in a and b, the digital filter can be used in both cases, that is to say of reduction and increasing the sample rate, for an even greater band limiting and/or spectral shaping of the signal at the input of the apparatus for sample rate conversion.   c) The signal produced is sampled at the new sample rate.   <IMAGE>
