Abstract: A ceiling tile transmitter and receiver system having at least one transmitter/receiver device located in a ceiling panel either during or after the ceiling panel fabrication process. In one embodiment one or more pockets of variable size and shape are created on a surface of the ceiling panel during or after the ceiling panel manufacturing process and then a transmitter/receiver device, such as an RF antenna, is rigidly fixed in the pocket In another embodiment, the transmitter/receiver device is embedded in the front side (lower surface) of the ceiling tile and a "scrim" covering is placed over it to secure it in place. The transmitter/receiver device can also be embedded inside the ceiling tile or rigidly fixed on an upper, lower or side surface of the ceiling tile. The transmitter/receiver device can be encased on the front surface of the ceiling tile, where the transmitter adds to, or integrates into, the overall aesthetics of the ceiling tile. Various combinations of these embodiments can be used with a single ceiling tile. A high temperature resistant "place holding" structure that can withstand the ceiling tile treatments can be provided and later removed to allow the installation of the transmitter/receiver device.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recursive ultrasound imaging using a Synthetic Transmit Aperture and by which a new frame is created at every pulse emission. In receive, parallel beam forming is implemented. The beam formed RF data is added to the previously created RF lines. To keep the level of the signal, the RF data obtained previously, when emitting with the same element, is subtracted from the RF lines. Up to 5000 frames/sec can be achieved for a tissue depth of 15 cm with a speed of sound of c=1540 m/s. The high frame rate makes continuous imaging data possible, which can significantly enhance flow imaging. A point spread function 2° wide at -6 dB and grating lobes of <=-50 dB is obtained with a 64 elements phased array with a central frequency f0=3 MHz using a sparse transmit aperture using only 10 elements (Nxmt=10) during pulse emission. The corresponding images have the quality of a dynamically focused image in transmit and receive. The dynamic focusing gives a small sampling volume and the capability to view small blood vessels and obtain the velocity profiles within the vessels with lower variance than with normal imaging.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the real-time rendering of large volume data sets. According to said method, a subset of volume data is selected in order to generate said rendering by means of said subset. The aim of the invention is to realize a maximum rendering repetition at a limited volume data charge rate and storage rate. To this end, volume data of different resolutions are used for the rendering. The low-resolution volume data mainly refer to areas of rendering that are less interesting for the viewer. For example, said areas of rendering are further away from the viewer than other areas which in turn are represented by higher resolution volume data.

Abstract: Process for monitoring the function of a three-way catalyst in the exhaust gas channel of an IC engine comprises determining the lambda region; acquiring the size of the NOx signal and/or the value of a gradient of the NOx signal in a prescribed measuring interval within the lambda region; and comparing with threshold values and indicating damage to the catalyst on exceeding the threshold values. An independent claim is also included for a device for monitoring the function of a three-way catalyst in the exhaust gas channel of an IC engine. Preferred Features: The lambda region comprises a stoichiometric operating point of the IC engine. During the function monitoring by a control device, a NOx signal of a NOx-sensitive measuring device and a lambda value are acquired using at least one lambda probe. A mixture composition to be burned in the direction of an actual operating point is influenced depending on the gradient of the lambda value and the NOx signal until a prescribed theoretical value for the gradient of the NOx signal is reached.
