Abstract: For adaptively adjusting the gain in a modem receiver comprising two amplifiers (15, 19), the following steps are performed: for a buffer (21), a Hilbert filter (23), and an equalizer (27), a respective energy indicator (p 2   max , u  2   avg , x  2   avg ) is generated from the signal samples in the respective delay line. Each energy indicator is compared to an associated upper target level (4L u , 3Lp, 1.19 L x ), and for the equalizer also to an associated lower target level - (0.84 L x ). If necessary, a gain correction factor (S) initially set to 1.0 is modified to obtain an overall gain that keeps delay line energies within desired targets. Target comparisons are made so that excess energy in the buffer or Hilbert filter result in a rapid gain reduction whereas average equalizer energy is used for slow adaptations. 
     After a gain change, all acquired samples in the delay lines are also multiplied by the correction factor (S) so that none is lost during gain acquisition. Gain is distributed between the two amplifiers in a swapping operation without modifying the adjusted overall gain.

Abstract: @ A cleaning apparatus (20) for a combine harvester (10) is disclosed wherein the grain pan (22) and chaffer sieve (26) are mounted in a shaker shoe (35) pivotally supported on the main frame (12) of the combine (10) for movement about a transversely extending axis (57). Hydraulic actuators (60) interconnecting the main frame (12) and the shaker shoe (35) effect a pivotal movement of the shaker shoe (35) to level the cleaning apparatus (20) under conditions where the combine ( 1 0) has an inclined fore-and-aft orientation. An inclinometer (90) is utilized to control the flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuators (60) to permit the shaker shoe (35) to be leveled in response to a sensing of a non-horizontal fore-and-aft inclination by the inclinometer (90). 
     According to a further characteristic of the invention, a cleaning apparatus (20) for a combine harvester (10) is disclosed wherein the grain pan (22) and chaffer sieve (26) are mounted for pivotal leveling movement about both a transversely extending axis (57) and a longitudinally extending axis (53).The grain pan (22 and chaffer sieve (26) are mounted in a subframe (31) pivotally supported by a shaker shoe (35) such that the subframe (31) is pivotable about a longitudinally extending axis (53) relative to the shaker shoe (35), which in turn is pivotally supported on the combine main frame (12) for pivotal movement about a transversely extending axis (57). A pair of inclinometers (80, 90) disposed to sense the inclination of the combine (10) are utilized to control the flow of hydraulic fluid to hydraulic actuators (50, 60) arranged to pivotally move the shaker shoe (35) and the subframe (31) in response to a sensing of a non-horizontal inclination by the inclinometers (80, 90). A combination of the fore-and-aft and transverse pivotal movements permits the grain pan (22) and chaffer sieve (26) to be maintained in an overall horizontal orientation irrespective of the attitude of the combine main frame (12).

Abstract: An axisymmetrical planar-parabolic reflector antenna has a paraboloidal reflector dish (10) and a planar reflector (13) into which the feed horn (11) illuminating the dish (10) is recessed so as to reduce (and preferably minimise) aperture blocking caused by the feed horn (11). In its upper frequency band, the feed horn (11) has a vanishing electric field at the edge of its aperture which suppresses edge currents at the mouth of the feed horn (11) and along the planar reflector surface (13), thereby preventing the flow of ground-plane currents in the planar reflector (13) which would degrade the antenna's performance. In its lower frequency band, the feed horn's choke surrounding the mouth of the feed horn (11) effectively accomplishes the edge current suppression. At a given frequency band, the feed horn (11) produces virtually equal E and H-plane radiation patterns.

Abstract: A novel method for stabilization of extra-chromosomal elements in bacteria during cultivation without use of antibiotics in the medium has been developed. The method comprises transformation of a host bacterium having a defect in a chromosomal gene needed for the synthesis or maintenance of the cell envelope with an extra-chromosomal element capable of suppressing the requirement caused by the chromosomal gene defect of the host bacterium. The invention furthermore provides for such transformed bacteria and stabilized extra-chromosomal elements and for a method for producing desirable products by inserting a gene for the desirable product into a stabilized extra-chromosomal element and cultivation of suitable host bacteria containing the stabilized extra-chromosomal element comprising the gene for the desirable product. It was demonstrated that according to the principles of this method, a plasmid including the dal gene of Bacillus subtilis and a gene encoding a desirable product can be maintained in an appropriate dal - B. subtilis host in conventional media. The method thus allows for improved product yield and quality.

Abstract: Codeur/décodeur à redistribution de charge utilisant un réseau à deux condensateurs pour développer une progression de tensions de référence possédant une relation binaire entre eux pour chaque échantillon d'entrée analogique à coder. Un codage linéaire d'échantillons d'entrée est obtenu en utilisant deux de ces réseaux de redistribution de charge, l'un produisant des tensions de référence positives et l'autre produisant des tensions de référence négatives. Des échantillons d'entrée analogiques sont placés dans un condensateur de codage et en fonction de la polarité dela tension aux bornes du condensateur une charge soit positive soit négative est ajoutée de manière itérative au condensateur pour amener à zéro la tension aux bornes du condensateur. Un code est développé en affectant à chque itération une valeur à un bit de code de sortie lorsqu'on ajoute une tension positive et la valeur opposée au bit lorsqu'on ajoute une tension négative. Un codage selon la loi des cordes est obtenu d'une manière analogue, à l'exception que le code de sortie comprend un bit de signe, un comptage de code et un code linéaire pour décrire le signal dans la corde. Lors du fonctionnement, de même qu'avec le codage linéaire, deux circuits générateurs de tensions de référence sont utilisés pour produire les tensions de référence positives et négatives. En outre, des organes permettant d'ajouter une tension de décalage pour augmenter l'ordre de grandeur de l'échantillon d'entrée pour attribuer un bit de signe en fonction de la polarité initiale de l'échantillon d'entrée et pour le comptage des cordes.
