  • Patent number: 11881637
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an antenna arrangement including a magnetic antenna and a tuning element. The magnetic antenna includes a loop interrupted one or several times and a tuning element for tuning the magnetic antenna. The tuning element is configured to provide a tuning signal (e.g., control signal) for tuning the magnetic antenna, and to control the tuning element with the tuning signal to tune the magnetic antenna.

  • Publication number: 20220128581
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid handling and dispensing systems in combination with additive manufacturing. In particular, it relates to temperature-controlled units, i.e. dispensing heads and source well holders, for receiving, holding and releasing liquid and semi-liquid material, liquid-handling and dispensing systems, apparatuses and methods for applying temperature-sensitive liquids. A temperature-controlled unit (1) comprises at least one Peltier element (3), each Peltier element having opposite first and second surfaces (4a, 4b). The unit (1) further comprises at least one cooling element (5). The at least one Peltier element (3) is arranged to have each respective first surface (4a) facing a reservoir block (2) of the unit (1). The at least one cooling element (5) is thermally connected to the Peltier element (3) and arranged to transfer heat generated by the at least one Peltier element (3) and dissipate the transferred heat away from the at least one Peltier element (3).

  • Patent number: 7940106
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a correction signal for linearizing an output signal of a non-linear element includes a correction signal generator. The correction signal generator is configured to generate a correction signal on the basis of a superposition of a digital reference signal and a superposed output signal. The superposed output signal is based on a superposition of the output signal and an analog reference signal.
