Abstract: A recording medium is moved to a transfer printing station and print images are transfer-printed. The recording medium is transported to a fixing station. A print stop is initiated whereby the recording medium is halted, a further transfer printing is prevented, and a fixing is deactivated. It is checked whether a transfer-printed but unfixed page is still located in the printing apparatus. If so, a warning notification is automatically generated. A query is made as to whether an operating command has been input. If so, it is checked whether the unfixed page would also be output unfixed. If no, the operating command is executed. If yes, the print stop is automatically maintained. It is also inspected as to whether the unfixed page would be output upon execution of an additional operating command. If no, the additional operating command is executed. If yes, an error message is automatically generated.

Abstract: For operation of a data bus to which multiple bus participants each with a respective serial number are connected, a new bus participant is connected. A request bus message is generated by the new bus participant containing a preliminary participant identification number. The request bus message is arbitrated in the data bus by means of the identification number. A final participant identification number is assigned for the new bus participant having fewer digits than the serial number of the new participant. The final participant identification number is used for further bus messages by the new bus participant. During an initialization bus messages are used with an identifier in which a complete serial number is entered as the identifier. After the initialization a different type of bus message is used that has a shorter identifier.

Abstract: For imaging a volume segment by means of a magnetic resonance system, of the volume segment is transferred into a dynamic steady state relative to the magnetization by means of the magnetic resonance system. The following steps are repeatedly executed until the volume segment has been completely measured. The slice is excited by means of the magnetic resonance system. MR signals of the slice are read out. The slice is offset in an overlapping manner such that an overlap range is created by the slice before the offset and the slice after the offset, the overlap range being a predetermined percentile of both the slice before the offset and the slice after the offset.

Abstract: A method for improving reverse coverage is disclosed, comprising: A, when a base station requests a terminal to enable the reverse repetition, under the condition that the service quality requirement and the transmission speed of the terminal are persistent, then step B is executed; B, if the reverse gain still cannot be improved after repetition, the reverse repetition will not be enabled; or, the reverse repetition will be enabled. The method of the present invention can take account of subchannelization gain, repetition gain and the interaction of both as an integration, to ensure that the whole gain of reverse link increases after the enabled repetition, and to prevent the system from sacrificing the bandwidth without improving but deteriorating the reverse coverage capability in certain circumstances after the enabled repetition occurs.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance sequence model that is a formal description of a measurement sequence is used to automate measurement sequence programming. The sequence model allows a system-independent specification of the measurement sequence for execution in a magnetic resonance scanner. The sequence model is as formal as possible; it is limited to the minimum required information for description of a measurement sequence without limiting the flexibility in the sequence programming. A method for formal description of the measurement sequence describes the measurement sequence by a number of parameters to be parameterized. The parameterization of the measurement sequence can ensue automatically from the formalized description of the measurement sequence, except for a set of parameters that are still be determined.
