A method and device for adjusting a volumetric flow balancing system for an extracorporeal blood treatment system receives a pressure signal and calculates a compensation factor that is used to adjust the relative flow rates of the volumetrically balanced fluids. For example, in a hemofiltration system, the flow of waste and and replacement fluid may be balanced volumetrically. Ultrafiltrate may be pumped in a bypass circuit in such a system. The rate of ultrafiltrate flow may be adjusted by the compensation signal. The compensation signal may be empirically derived.

A switched-mode Class F power amplifier is provided for parallel connection with at least one other like amplifier, within a Chireix architecture, for combining the signals output therefrom. An input component includes at least one active device configured to be alternately switched by a signal input thereto to present an amplified signal corresponding to the input signal and constituting a low output impedance voltage source. A lumped element impedance inverter is provided between the input component and an output resonator component, the impedance inverter being configured for transforming the low output impedance voltage source to instead constitute a high output impedance current source configured for said parallel connection. In accordance with the invention, the negative reactive component values required by the impedance inverter are eliminated and effectively provided by incorporating those values into pre-selected reactive components of the input and output components. Further, a source-drain parasitic capacitance across the active device is eliminated by one or more pre-selected reactive components of the input component, the value(s) of which effectively compensate for the parasitic capacitance.

A projection system uses a transformation matrix to transform a projection image p in such a manner so as to compensate for surface irregularities on a projection surface. The transformation matrix makes use of properties of light transport relating a projector to a camera. A display pipeline of user-supplied image modification processing modules are reduced by first representing the processing modules as multiple, individual matrix operations. All the matrix operations are then combined with, i.e., multiplied to, the transformation matrix to create a modified transformation matrix. The created transformation matrix is then used in place of the original transformation matrix to simultaneously achieve both image transformation and any pre and post image processing defined by the image modification processing modules.

A linear compensation system of a digital TV relay or other apparatus preferably includes a transmitting unit configured to modulate a data to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal, up convert the IF signal to an RF signal, and amplify the RF signal to a predetermined level using a high power amplifier (HPA). The system also includes a linear compensation unit to preferably directly vary a step size of an adaptive equalizer according to whether a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or an error vector magnitude (EVM) for an output signal of the HPA satisfies an advanced television systems committee (ATSC) or other standard. The linear compensation unit is thus configured to output an improved linear compensation coefficient to a modulator of the transmitting unit.

Signals propagating in one communication channel can generate crosstalk interference in another communication channel. A crosstalk cancellation device can process the signals causing the crosstalk interference and generate a crosstalk cancellation signal that can compensate for the crosstalk when applied to the channel receiving crosstalk interference. The crosstalk cancellation device can include a model of the crosstalk effect that generates a signal emulating the actual crosstalk both in form an in timing. The crosstalk cancellation device can include a controller that monitors crosstalk-compensated communication signals and adjusts the model to enhance crosstalk cancellation performance. The crosstalk cancellation device can have a mode of self configuration or calibration in which defined test signals can be transmitted on the crosstalk-generating channel and the crosstalk-receiving channel.

When a selection TFT (20) and a correction TFT (22) are turned on, a data voltage of a data line is stored in a storage capacitor 28 as a gate voltage of a driving TFT (24). After turning off the selection TFT (20), a voltage of a capacitor line SC falls, thereby turning on the driving TFT (24) to supply a driving current to an organic EL element (26). The correction TFT (22) is in the ON state before the capacitor line SC falls, and is turned off in the course of the fall of the line. Consequently, the capacitance of the correction TFT (22) changes during the fall of the gate voltage, and the gradient of the gate voltage fall of the driving TFT (24) is changed, thereby setting the gate voltage after the capacitor line SC falls in accordance with variation in threshold of the driving TFT (24). Particularly by disposing the driving TFT (24) and the correction TFT (22) adjacent to each other, the two TFTs are provided with the same properties to achieve effective correction.
