The present invention relates to receiver apparatuses and methods of controlling weight adaptation in a receiver of a code multiplex telecommunications system with orthogonal spreading codes, wherein received discrete time signal samples are chip-level filtered by using a first equalising step. Additionally, the received discrete time signal samples are delayed by a time period corresponding to a data symbol and used in a second equalising step. Symbol estimates obtained from the first equalising step are non-linearly filtered and used as a desired response for the second equalising step in the following symbol period, wherein equaliser weights adapted in the second equalising step are used for the first equalising step. Alternatively, the second equalising step may be dispensed with and weight adaptation may be incorporated in a single equalising step. As an additional or alternative option, a hybrid equaliser architecture may be provided, where the above two-step equalisation is used during an active phase where a channel is allocated, while another weight updating scheme is used during an inactive phase where no channel is assigned. Thereby, detrimental effects of interference power can be reduced at low increase in complexity.

The invention relates to a method and a device for transferring printed matter onto a substrate by means of a laser beam. In particular, it relates to a method and a device for transferring a printing substance provided on a carrier to a substrate by means of a laser beam of a laser beam source. For this purpose, the output power (AL) of the laser beam source is modulated over time in such a way that the printing substance is transferred only in the active phase (AP) and not in the inactive phase (PP). At the beginning of the activation phase (AP), the brief dark phase (DP) has the consequence that the total output power AL of the laser beam during the first period is too high and thus that at the beginning of the activation phase (AP) The printed matter has been transferred. During a second period of the activation phase (AP) immediately following the first period, the total output power (AL) remains substantially constant. According to the invention, overshooting of the total output power is regulated via the duration of the dark phase (DP).
