Abstract: A technique and apparatus for detection of infrared radiation emitted from a taggant material sample following the excitation of the sample are described. The decay time of the radiation is a function of the particular taggant being used and so, if the decay characteristic or signature is accurately measured, the particular taggant can be accurately identified. The apparatus comprises an electronic controller (10), a pair (12) of illuminating light-emitting diodes, a photo-detector (14), a first amplifier (16), a three-way sampling switch (18), filter/stores (20) (a-c), second amplifiers (22) (a-c) and an output display (26). The infrared emission is excited by repeatedly illuminating 1 the material for a period of microseconds every few milliseconds using a very intense source of infrared light. This light is supplied by the pair of 940nm, light-emitting diodes (12). Once this light source has been turned off, the sample continues radiating infrared light for a few milliseconds. The emission is detected by photo-detector (14) that is only sensitive to infrared light in the 800 to 1000nm waveband. This helps to reject interference from visible light sources.

Title: Isolation of binding proteins with high affinity to ligands
Inventor: THOMAS JEFFREY G
IPC: C12Q1/25
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a rapid approach for isolating binding proteins capable of binding small molecules and peptides via "display-less" library screening. In the technique, libraries of candidate binding proteins, such as antibody sequences, are expressed in soluble form in the periplasmic space of gram negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, and are mixed with a labeled ligand. In clones expressing recombinant polypeptides with affinity for the ligand, the concentration of the labeled ligand bound to the binding protein is increased and allows the cells to be isolated from the rest of the library. Where fluorescent labeling of the target ligand is used, cells may be isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). The approach is more rapid than prior art methods and avoids problems associated with the surface-expression of ligand fusion proteins employed with phage display.
Patent CA-2645987-A1 (CA)
Title: Generator system with intelligent processing of position signal
Inventor: LARSEN KIM BRONDUM
IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: An electric power generator system is provided with improved power efficiency due to a reduced sensitivity to errors in the sensing of angular rotor position. The system includes a power generator with a rotor, and a position encoder connected to sense angular position of the rotor and to generate a position signal accordingly. A    processor receives the position signal, calculates an angular position in response, calculates an estimated angular position based on earlier received position signals, and finally generates a processed angular position based on the calculated angular position and the estimated angular position. This processed angular position is a more reliable measure of the rotor position since it is based on earlier position inputs, preferably several earlier inputs. This provides a high immunity to short term errors in the position signal, and for e.g. wind turbines this means that normal operation can be maintained in situations where the position encoder temporarily fails, and in case of complete failure, operation can be maintained long enough to avoid emergency shut down. In preferred embodiments, the processor is arranged to prefilter the position signal, i.e. detect and correct prior to calculating the angular position. It preferably also includes an error handling based on comparing the estimated angular position with the calculated angular position and thereby determines an input to a Phase Locked Loop based estimator that is also used to provide the processed angular position.
