Abstract: Spectral variation contributed from the absorbance of unwanted correlated signals, such as blood at variable pathlengths between an in vivo catheter optic probe and a coronary vessel wall is an obstacle in the detection of vulnerable plaque. Preprocessing methods are described to reduce the impact of blood upon the spectral signal, based on the principles of Orthogonal Subspace Projection (OSP) and Generalized Least Square (GLS). The multivariate discrimination models used on the processed spectral information reduce the number of independent factors that include contributions from blood. The disclosed chemometric processing including preprocessing methods provide for in vivo spectral detection of medical analytes within the human body and in particular within the coronary vessel wall. A demonstration of how the preprocessing methods impact a discrimination modeling technique is provided, how the blood filters were developed and optimized, and finally how the OSP and GLS blood filters correct the spectral signal and improve the discrimination results of the models.

Abstract: An improved user modeling server for use in media delivery networks, wherein a plurality of applications exchange usage data via at least one user modeling server. The user modeling server has an associated function for regulating exchange of usage data between any of a first application and a second application in the set, wherein the function defines: whether the usage data are provided by the first application to the second application, and a degree of trust acknowledged by the second application to the provided usage data. The function is in the form of a bi-directional relationship, wherein any of the first and second applications is configured for accepting, refusing or negotiating the relationship. The function is preferably configured for valuating the usage data, and defining debit and credit values each application has in respect to usage data exchanged with other applications in the set.

Title: Thermostatic mixing valve
Inventor: RUGA MANOLO
IPC: G05D23/13
Filed: 2003-12-05
Granted: 2008-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a thermostatic mixing valve in which the access path of the hot water to the mixing chamber is completely formed within a bottom base (2) and the ceramic disks (4, 5) of the valve group, the slider (8) of the thermostatic member sealingly sliding in a central seat of the upper disk (5). By having the hot water not pass through the metallic members of the valve it is possible to eliminate the problems of asymmetric thermal expansion of said metallic members when only hot water is delivered, and also to greatly reduce the problems of calcareous encrustations since the latter build up with difficulty on the ceramic material. Furthermore, the valve is manufactured with a compact and simplified structure, including a small number of pieces, with totally independent temperature and flow rate controls.

Abstract: An engine crankshaft includes a split crankshaft journal that includes offset connecting rod journals for two connecting rods. Oil supply systems disposed on opposite axial sides of the crankshaft journal each lubricate a corresponding one of the connecting rod journals. The oil supply systems are either axial or peripheral oil supply systems that do not require oil to be supplied to the crankshaft through the main crankcase bearings. Consequently, the oil supply systems sufficiently lubricate each connecting rod journal without requiring weakening holes or grooves in the main crankcase bearings.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting at least two space-time coded signals in respective beams of a multi-beam antenna array, measuring a channel impulse response for each space-time coded signal at a second station, and sending an indicia of a selected set of least attenuated signals from the second station to the first station. The multi-beam antenna array is associated with a first station. The beams transmit a signature code embedded in each respective space-time coded signal, and the signature codes are orthogonal so that the second station can separate and measure the channel impulse response corresponding to each space-time coded signal. The space-time coded signals include the selected set of least attenuated signals and a remaining set of most attenuated signals. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and devices for determining and monitoring impurity states in different fluids
Inventor: KLOSE HEINZ
IPC: G01J3/10
Filed: 2004-02-09
Granted: 2010-04-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and/or monitoring impurity states in different fluids by using crystalline inorganic semi-conductor diodes (LED) emitting a white light and injection light-emitting diodes emitting at least one infrared radiation (IRED) and/or ultra violet radiation (UVED). Said method uses, in particular, the modification of the emission spectrum of the white LED. Variations in the peak wave lengths, in the ratios of the peaks of the light-emitting injection in relation to the peak of the photoluminescence, in selective absorptions, in excitations on the fluorescence, in intensities of the peak wave lengths and in integral emissions are used in addition to comparison of data to the modified spectrum of the infrared emitter and/or the UV emitter. Said variations are registered with the help of a fibre optic compact spectrometer or a similar receiver. Said method is automatically calibrated if the ratio of the injection luminescence to the photoluminescence of the white LED for similar flowing current densities represents a diode specific constant. Exceptionally reliable economical sensors are produced and constructed in a fast manner according to said method and can be used in many methods associated with fluids, for example, in cleaning processes and chemical technology.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatically quenching surge arrester arrangement with a surge arrester, which, on exceeding a given first voltage, transforms from a non-conducting into a conducting state and returns to the non-conducting state only when a much smaller second voltage is dropped below and with a switch mechanism reacting to current flow through the surge arrester, interrupting the current flow through the surge arrester and then automatically returning to the rest condition thereof. A simple, robust and compact assembly suitable for HF applications for such a surge arrester arrangement is achieved, whereby the switch mechanism reacts reversibly to the heat generated in the surge arrester by the current flow.
