Abstract: A headphone down mix signal can be efficiently derived from a parametric down mix of a multi-channel signal, when modified HRTFs (head related transfer functions) are derived from HRTFs of a multi-channel signal using a level parameter having information on a level relation between two channels of the multi-channel signals such that a modified HRTF is stronger influenced by the HRTF of a channel having a higher level than by the HRTF of a channel having a lower level. Modified HRTFs are derived within the decoding process taking into account the relative strength of the channels associated to the HRTFs. The HRTFs are thus modified such that a down mix signal of a parametric representation of a multi-channel signal can directly be used to synthesize the headphone down mix signal without the need of an intermediate full parametric multi-channel reconstruction of the parametric down mix.

Abstract: A printing system that includes a source which emits UV radiation to polymerize a fluid that is deposited onto a substrate by one or more print heads. The source emits low energy UV radiation sufficient to set the fluid to a quasi-fluid, non-hardened state.

Abstract: A micromechanical component comprises a frame layer and an oscillating body which, with the aid of a suspension means, is supported in an opening penetrating the frame layer, in such a way that the oscillating body is adapted to be pivoted about an axis of oscillation vertically to the frame layer plane. At least one oscillating-body lateral surface, which extends substantially at right angles to the frame layer plane, is arranged in relation to at least one inner lateral surface of the opening in such a way that a capacitance formed therebetween is varied by an oscillation of the oscillating body in such a way that an oscillation of the oscillating body about the axis of oscillation can be generated by periodically varying a voltage applied between the frame layer and the oscillating body.
