For a few years, aside from the printing of carpets and banners, ink jet technology has been used successfully for textiles. Compared with traditional textile process, market share using is not yet very important. However, study predicts strong growth within next years.What are requirements that to fulfill?The paper will describe main demands differences between known print - mainly on papers foils print.Different fibers applications automatically demand different pretreatment aftertreatment...

High power gyrotrons typically produce RF in a ${HE}_{11}$ waveguide inside the vacuum. The direct coupler was Gaussian free-space mode. An internal converter transforms integrated into 110 GHz, 1 MW, short pulse gyrotron at MIT, whispering gallery mode from cavity to beam using shown Fig. 1. Tests indicated that produced quasi-optical launcher and series of mirrors. Transmission this same output efficiency as conventional requires transformation an corrugated waveguide.
