Patent EP-1362747-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIM HOON
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving an expansion performance of an air bag. The
method includes the steps of: detecting a variation of a deceleration of a vehicle in a vehicle
collision at a deceleration detector and applying the detected deceleration signal to a
microcomputer; analyzing a collision waveform generated according to the deceleration signal
and determining an impact degree of the vehicle at the microcomputer; temporarily stopping an
operation of the deceleration detector at the microcomputer while the collision waveform is
increasing; initializing an initial collision waveform in a state that the operation of the
deceleration detector is stopped, the initial collision waveform being inputted before the
microcomputer stops the operation of the deceleration detector; re-operating the deceleration
detector at the microcomputer, detecting again a variation of the deceleration of the vehicle at the
deceleration detector, and applying the newly detected deceleration signal to the microcomputer;
and when the collision waveform generated according to the applied deceleration signal reaches a
set value, operating an air bag driving unit at the microcomputer to thereby expand the air bag.
According to the method of present invention, the detecting operation of the deceleration detector
is temporarily stopped after the vehicle collision, and the initially recognized collision waveform
is initialized. Then, the deceleration detector re-operates to allow the newly detected
deceleration signal to be applied, so that the expansion time of the air bag is reduced.
Accordingly, the expansion time of the air bag is closer to a required time to fire (RTTF), thereby
achieving a more stable expansion performance of the air bag.

Abstract: A method for measuring the amount of fluid contained in a reaction vessel in a clinical
analyzer includes the steps of adding a first aliquot of fluid to the reaction vessel and measuring the
quantity of fluid contained therein. A second aliquot of fluid is then added to the reaction vessel and
the quantity of fluid contained therein is also measured. Measurement of the two fluid quantities can
occur with or without removal of the first aliquot in between measurements. In obtaining the two
quantity measurements and comparing them against a standard, the effects of well geometry can be
minimized. Preferably, a delta or ratio measurement is obtained between the first and second liquid
volume measurements which can be compared against a standard so as to normalize apparent volume
losses or gains due to reaction well dimensional variation. This approach enhances the analytical
capability to detect true fluid delivery errors.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mass spectrometry
capable of high-efficiency and high-throughput electron capture dissociation (ECD). An
electron source and a two-dimensional combined ion trap in which
a magnetic field along and generally parallel to a central axis
is applied are used, thereby to achieve the foregoing object.
First, precursor ions are trapped. By adopting the
two-dimensional combined ion trap, it is possible to obtain
a high ion trapping efficiency upon being injected and trapping.
Subsequently, electrons are made incident thereon in such a
manner as to be wound along the central axis to which no radio
frequency is applied by using a magnetic field. For this reason,
it is possible to allow energy-controlled electrons to reach
the precursor ions. It is possible to implement a mass
spectrometer capable of avoiding heating due to a radio frequency
electric field, and effecting high-throughput /high-efficiency
ECD.

Abstract: Mechanisms for automatically generating code that tests capabilities of a test
computing system to simulate a message exchange pattern. The code generation computing
system uses a message exchange pattern definition to generate the simulation code. For
each state in which the message exchange pattern definition allows valid messages to be
transmitted, code is generated for that state that at least simulates the transmission of a valid
transmission message. For each state in which the message exchange pattern definition
allows valid messages to be received, code is generated for that state that simulates the
receipt of a valid receipt message. If the transmission or receipt of the message causes a
state transition to occur, code is generated that causes the appropriate state transition in the
message exchange pattern.
