Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating X-rays that can acquire an X-ray image of a subject at a high speed are provided. When a CT system checks a subject, the CT system can acquire an X-ray image of the subject through rotating X-rays that are emitted from the X-ray generating apparatus and thus an X-ray image of the subject can be obtained in various angles. Further, because it is unnecessary for the X-ray generating apparatus or the subject to move relative to each other, an X-ray image can be acquired at a high speed and thus a subject can be rapidly checked.

The envelope converter converts an envelope signal to a reduced bandwidth envelope signal based on the I/Q signal output from the CFR unit.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for managing mobile device originated meetings involving multiple mobile device users belonging to a group. Specifically, a meeting request is sent to the mobile device of each member of the group, and subsequent recognition of responding and non-responding members is established. Those members of the group failing to respond within a predetermined time period are sent a secondary meeting request in an attempt to solicit a response. An optimal meeting request and/or response message type is selected for each mobile device belonging to each member of the group. As such, interoperability between different devices and meeting systems is maintained, while also allowing those users sharing the same meeting system platform to communicate via push-notification internet-based messages, thereby decreasing reliance on cellular based short messaging service (SMS) messages.
