A driver circuit for driving a radiation emitting semiconductor device (ED) comprises a current path coupled between a first reference potential terminal (VDD) and a second reference potential terminal (GND). The current path includes a first and a second terminal (TA, TC) for connecting the radiation emitting semiconductor device (ED), and a series connection of a current source (CS1) and a first switch (SW1). A second switch (SW2) connects the first and the second terminal (TA, TC) via a level shifter (LS) providing a voltage difference greater than 0 V. A clock generator block (CGB) is configured to receive a pulse signal (PS) having one or more switch pulses, to generate a reset signal (RPS) having one or more reset pulses, each reset pulse subsequently following an end of a corresponding one of the switch pulses, to control the first switch (SW1) based on the pulse signal (PS) or a delayed version of the pulse signal (PS'), and to control the second switch (SW2) based on the reset signal (RPS).

The invention relates to a method for measuring an antenna pattern (AP) of an antenna (1) on a first flying object (RSS) by means of a second flying object (MES), wherein the first flying object (RSS) moves in orbit along a first elliptical path (EB1) around a celestial body (100) and the second flying object (MES) moves in orbit along a second elliptical path (E2) around the celestial body (100), wherein during the movement of the first and second flying objects (RSS, MES), the antenna (1) emits antenna radiation along a main beam direction (HS) and/or receives antenna radiation from the second flying object (MES), wherein the main beam direction (HS) has a predetermined lateral viewing angle (θ), which is an angle of rotation equal to or unequal to zero about the direction of movement of the first flying object (RSS) relative to the direction to the centre (M) of the celestial body (100), wherein signal values (SV) of the antenna (1) are obtained by means of the second flying object (MES) and at least a part of the antenna pattern (AP) is determined therefrom. In the method according to the invention, the first elliptical path (EB1) and the second elliptical path (EB2) are adjusted relative to each other in such a way that the signal values (SV) obtained during one revolution belong to a fixed predetermined azimuth angle (ξ) and different polar angles (ψ) with respect to the antenna (1), wherein the predetermined azimuth angle (ξ) represents an angle of rotation about the main beam direction (HS) and the different polar angles (ψ) represent angles of inclination relative to the main beam direction (HS).

An electrode structure for a distal tip of an electrosurgical instrument that enables efficient delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy in a forward (distal) direction and uniform delivery of microwave energy for ablation in a region surrounding the distal tip. The instrument comprises a tip body having a first electrode and a second electrode, where the second electrode is spaced from the first electrode exposed dielectric material. The first electrode is connected through the tip body to an inner conductor of a coaxial feed. The second electrode is electrically connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial feed by a field-shaping conductive structure formed in or on the tip body. The field-shaping conductive structure is configured to shape a radiation profile of microwave energy emitted from the tip body.

A colored (viz., not black) vitreous enamel coating for an electrosurgical metal cutting blade provides heat-resistant, durable blade coloration and facilitates differentiation or discrimination between, or identification of, different blades. Different colors may be employed on different blade shapes in an array of blades, on blades used for different surgical procedures, or on blades used on different tissue types. The color may be applied to a portion of a blade to denote an edge or other feature. The color may preferentially absorb the primarily blue-hued light emitted by an electrosurgery plasma and preferentially reflect light of other hues; make the blade more visible against surrounding tissues; or discourage reflection of visible or other light (e.g., infrared radiation) in colors that might interfere with markers, sensors or other instruments designed to measure light emitted by or passing through nearby tissue such as by transillumination.

In order to optimize imaging processing, this radiographic imaging system comprises: a radiographic imaging device (1) that captures a moving image in synchronization with a radiation irradiation device (2); and a synchronization processing unit (211) that executes synchronization processing for achieving the synchronization. The synchronization processing unit (211) starts the synchronization processing when the power of the radiographic imaging device (1) is on. As long as the synchronization processing is performed when the power of the radiographic imaging device (1) is on, the radiographic imaging device (1) can be kept in a synchronized state during the image capture, and thus the synchronization processing is optimized.

Methods and devices for computer-implemented scene processing include obtaining samples of a scene in a field of view based on output from one or more radio frequency (RF) detector arrays configured to receive radiation according to a scan pattern. The samples are processed through a plurality of one-dimensional convolution filters, and a three-dimensional feature tensor is generated based on the processing. Using a convolutional neural network, additional processing is used to detect one or more properties of the scene, and an output is generated indicating the detected one or more properties of the scene.
