Abstract: This invention relates to a method of catheter and radiating coil location in a human body and in particular to the determination over time of the location of the tip of a catheter as it is inserted and during its use in the body. In particular when a radiating coil is used in conjunction with a catheter, a coil locating device can be used to determine the distance the coil is from the device and hence its depth in the body of a patient. To assist a clinician using the coil-locating device, a display is provided that shows both a reference image of a part or portion of a body (non-subject body) and an image of the coil located on the display with reference to the reference image. This is achieved by locating the coil-locating device on or over a predetermined landmark on the patient's body. The coil and its associated signal wires can be incorporated into a stylet, guide wire or a catheter. The coil locating device has a preferable triangular shape in plan view that allows it uppermost apex to be orientated towards the head of the patient and for an axis of the device to be aligned with the mid sagittal plane of the patient. Preferable landmarks on a human body include the xiphoid sternal junction and the caudal/mid sagittal aspect of the jugular sternal notch

Abstract: Upper and lower wire guides in a wire-cut electric discharge machine are moved until a wire electrode contacts with a workpiece, and after the contact, the upper and lower wire guides are moved backward to a position A which is away from the contact point at a fixed distance. Then, the upper wire guide (10a) is moved until the wire electrode (5) contacts with the workpiece (6) and the upper wire guide is returned to the position A. Subsequently, the lower wire guide is moved until the wire electrode contacts with the workpiece and the lower wide guide is returned to the position A. A coordinate value on the position where the wire electrode contacts with the workpiece is calculated by using position detection values which are obtained in the above respective steps, and board thickness is calculated from the coordinate value.

Abstract: In a MIMO system using a cross-polarized antenna structure, even if no ideal XPD can be obtained, the interference between different polarized waves can be reduced to allow an effective precoding to be executed. When a MIMO communication is performed between a transmitter (250) and a receiver (260) each using a cross-polarized antenna structure, a channel estimating and precoding selection section (214) of the receiver (260) performs a channel estimation of MIMO channels from the transmitter to the receiver, decides a precoding matrix (P) of a projection matrix for mutually orthogonalizing or substantially orthogonalizing the channel response matrixes for respective different polarized waves, and feeds the determined precoding matrix (P) back to the transmitter (250). In the transmitter (250), a precoding processing section (208) applies the precoding matrix (P) to the spatial stream corresponding to one of the polarized waves to perform a precoding, thereby allowing the transmitter (250) to transmit the polarized waves with the orthogonality therebetween maintained.

Abstract: A front-to-back cooling system allows cooling of an apparatus containing two orthogonal sets of modules. Each set of modules is independently cooled. A vertical set of modules is cooled with vertical air flow across the modules that enters from a front of the apparatus and exhausts from a back of the apparatus. A horizontal set of modules is cooled with horizontal front-to-back air flow. When the horizontal set of modules is at the front of the apparatus, a plenum extending exterior to the vertical set of modules allows exhausting horizontally flowing air to the rear of the apparatus. When the horizontal set of modules is at the rear of the apparatus, a plenum extending exterior to the vertical set of modules allows moving air from the front of the apparatus to a chamber holding the horizontal modules.
