Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of ultrasound imaging of an object using an ultrasound transducer which comprises an array of transducer elements capable of converting sound signals into electrical signals and vice versa, comprising the following steps: A) transmitting an ultrasound beam from said ultrasound transducer into the object, by activating a first subset of said transducer elements, B) detecting reflected signals in a time resolved manner by means of a second subset of said transducer elements, wherein timing information of a detected signal is associated with information regarding the depth where the detected signal was reflected within the object subjected to imaging, and wherein the reflected signals associated with said second subset of transducer elements resemble a set of two-dimensional ultrasound data, of which one dimension resembles the various transducer elements of said second subset and the other dimension resembles depth information, C) converting said two-dimensional ultrasound data into

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the forming and printing of paper products, particularly paper products such as self-mailers, made from a moving web of paper which is printed on a continuous forms press and folded and glue sealed in one pass through a folder. The disclosed self-mailer includes a return order envelope. The self-mailer is printed on stock of a size and thickness to conform to postal regulations with both sides of the stock being printed, perforated on press to enable tear-off of the return portion of the self-mailer, scored to enable folding, and provided with a mailing window as a continuous form. Laser printing is used for subsequent application of an individual's name and address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for forming printed paper products having a folded or pocket portion, for example inserts for magazines and brochures having a reply envelope. A moving web of paper from which the inserts are made is first folded along the edges thereof to form the folded or envelope portion of the insert. Thereafter, printing is carried out on the folded web. Since folding precedes printing, a web having a width which exceeds the maximum width that the printing press can accommodate may be used. In this way, an insert having a width up to the maximum width that the printing press can accommodate and/or inserts having envelope portions and/or envelope flap portions of increased size are obtained.

Abstract: A combined advertising insert and mailing envelope is formed from a single sheet which is folded so as to form a single thickness portion and a double thickness portion. The single thickness portion has a fold line which defines a flap, the fold line being coextensive with the crease lines of the pages of the magazine to position the flap and the balance of the insert, or the advertising page, on opposite sides of the saddle of a magazine. The advertising page is provided with a detachable envelope as well as with a plurality of flaps or sections on the double thickness portion which sections form windows. Each of the sections on one of the panels of the double thickness portion may be lifted to expose information printed on the other of the panels which is in registry with the window. The same insert, in some cases with slight modifications, is also suitable for insertion into perfect or adhesive bound magazines, and side-stitched magazines.
