Abstract: An integrated device suspended at a high voltage potential for the metering and protection of a distribution network comprises a measurement current transformer (CT), a protective CT and a voltage sensor. The voltage signal is output from the voltage sensor to an electric energy metering module and first and second electric signal acquiring modules. The current signal acquired by the measurement CT is output to the electric energy metering module. The current signal acquired by the protective CT is output to the first and second electric signal acquiring modules. The electric energy metering module processes the current and voltage signals and sends the processed data to a comprehensive control module. The first and second electric signal acquiring modules send the voltage and current data to the comprehensive control module. The comprehensive control module comprehensively calculates the received data and sends the result to a low voltage terminal.

Abstract: The application discloses embodiments of a lapping head including a sensor device in the base structure of the rotating lapping head.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance image (MRI) data array representing an image is filtered in k-space (Fourier space) domain to produce a low-pass filtered data array, a band-pass filtered data array and a high-pass filtered data array. These filtered k-space arrays are two-dimensionally Fourier-Transformed into the image domain where the magnitude of the band-pass filtered data array is thresholded and feathered to produce a fuzzy continuous valued (“gray-scale”) edge mask data array, and the real part of the high-pass filtered data array may, if desired, be soft-thresholded to produce a soft thresholded sharpening mask data array. The edge mask data array is multiplied with the sharpening mask data array and the result is added to the magnitude of the low-pass filtered data array in the image domain to produce a Gibbs' ringing and noise-filtered image to better represent the underlying anatomy.

Abstract: A higher network sends a base stream of a data stream to a first network node, and sends an enhancement stream of the data stream to a second network node. The first network node transmits the base stream over a multicast channel and the second network node transmits the enhanced stream in synchronism with the transmitted base stream over a unicast channel. Various options are detailed for how this synchronism is achieved, and the second network node need only transmit the higher bit-rate enhancement stream on user request or if network conditions permit. A user equipment receives the base and enhancement streams, combines them, and displays the combined stream to a user at a graphical display interface. Various apparatus, methods, and computer programs are detailed for various nodes and the user equipment.
