Title: Gps a pseudolites pour la localisation des radiotelephones
Inventor: BEAL ROBERT E
IPC: G01S1/68
Filed: 1999-03-22
Abstract: Pour assurer l'évaluation précise des positions de récepteurs mobiles (401), des pseudolites au sol diffusent des signaux AMRC (202) entrelacés par un système AMRT. Ces pseudolites synchronisent les émissions de signaux sur une référence de temps précise du type de celles que l'on peut déduire des satellites GPS (201). Les pseudolites adjacents diffusent des signaux AMRC à différents instants, ce qui permet d'éviter les interférences signal proche/signal lointain entre pseudolites. Un récepteur mobile, en l'occurrence un téléphone cellulaire reçoit et autorise la détermination des heures d'arrivée des signaux des pseudolites. Un processeur de localisation associé au récepteur mobile a la possibilité d'accéder à une base de données de positions de pseudolites. Mais, les informations de position du pseudolite peuvent être codées dans les émissions du pseudolite. Pour calculer la position du récepteur mobile, le processeur de localisation se base sur les informations de position du pseudolite et sur l'heure d'arrivée. Ce système à base de pseudolites AMRC permet de compléter le GPS de façon à fournir des informations de position plus précises que ne le permet le GPS seul.

Title: Catching device for a system for protecting persons working at heights
Inventor: SKADE TORALF
IPC: A62B1/14
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a damping element (30) for a catching device for preventing the user from falling from a ladder, platform or similar. The user is secured to the catching device by a safety harness, said safety harness being secured to the catching device by a fixing device. The damping element (30) is a non-rectilinearly-shaped section of the fixing device and dampens the impact of catching in the event of a fall. It is fixed in a non-rectilinear form, the fixing arrangement being measured in such a way that the damping element (30) is released when the device is subjected to a particular load, e.g., approx. 3 to 5 kN, so that it can dampen this impact. The inventive damping element (30) can be S-shaped, so that it is bent upwards in a first curve (36) of approximately 180<o> and bent downwards in a second curve (40) of approximately 180<o> and the two curves (36, 40) can each be fixed by a web (38, 44), said webs connecting the two legs of the curves (36, 40).

IPC: G01V1/36

Abstract: A method relating to filtering coherent noise and interference from seismic data by constrained adaptive beamforming is described using a constraint design methodology which allows the imposition of an arbitrary predesigned quiescent response on the beamformer. The method also makes sure that the beamformer response in selected regions of the frequency-wavenumber space is entirely controlled by this quiescent response, hence ensuring signal preservation and robustness to perturbations. Built-in regularization brings an additional degree of robustness. Seismic signals with arbitrary spectral content in the frequency-wavenumber domain are preserved, while coherent noise and interference that is temporally and spatially nonstationary is adaptively filtered. The approach is applicable to attenuation of all types of coherent noise in seismic data including swell-noise, bulge-wave noise, ground-roll, air wave, seismic vessel and rig interference, etc. It is applicable to both linear or areal arrays.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for determining the presence or absence of a target nucleic acid (e.g. DNA) sequence in a sample nucleic acid, the method comprising: (a) exposing the sample to a detection agent comprising a colloid metal surface associated with a SER(R)S active species (SAS) such as an azo dye and with a target binding species (TBS) which may be PNA which is complementary to the target, and (b) observing the sample agent mixture using SER(R)S to detect any surface enhancement of the label wherein the binding of the TBS to the target sequence causes surface enhancement SAS. The detection agent may be exposed to the sample in step (a) as two or more separate components and will generally comprise a first agent and a second agent each having a different TBS, each TBS being capable of binding to the target sequence, and wherein the binding of the first and second TBS to the target sequence brings a metal surface associated with each TBS into proximity thereby causing surface enhancement of an SAS associated with one or both of the metal surfaces.

Abstract: An optically active tropinonemonocarboxylic
acid ester derivative useful as an intermediate for
synthesis of optically active tropane derivatives was
obtained by reacting succindialdehyde with an organic
amine and acetonedicarboxylic acid ester to obtain a
tropinonedicarboxylic acid ester derivative, and then
subjecting this derivative to enzyme-catalyzed
asymmetric dealkoxy-carbonylation. Since
anhydroecgonine methyl ester derived from the optically
active tropinone-monocarboxylic acid ester derivative
by reduction and dehydration had the same direction of
optical rotation as in the case of anhydroecgonine
methyl ester obtained from natural cocaine, it was
proved that the obtained optically active
tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative had the
same absolute configuration as that of natural cocaine.
The yield of the optically active
tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative from the
asymmetric dealkoxycarbonylation was 30 to 50 mol%, and
its optical purity was 70 to 97%ee. In addition, it
was found that a crystalline optically active
anhydroecgonine carboxylic acid ester derivative can be
obtained by reducing and then dehydrating the optically
active tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative
and that its optical purity can easily be increased by
recrystallization.

Abstract: A method and system for conducting electronic auctions is described. A dynamic lot closing extension feature avoids collisions in closing times of multiple lots by dynamically extending the closing time of a subsequent lot if a preceding lot's closing time is extended to be too close to the subsequent lot's then-currently scheduled closing time. Scheduled closing times can be extended with a flexible overtime feature, in which the properties of the event triggering the extension and the duration of the overtime period(s) can be tailored to a particular auction, particular lots of products within an auction, and to the particular time within an auction process. The bidding status of a lot can be set to a 'pending' status after the nominal closing time for submission of bids to allow bidders to alert the auction coordinator of technical problems in submission of bids. This allows the possibility for a lot to be returned to open status for further bidding by all bidders. The auction may be paused by the auction coordinator to correct technical, market and miscellaneous problems that may arise during the course of an auction. Individual bid ceilings can be set for each bidder so that they are required to bid lower than certain thresholds determined in advance of the auction. Failsafe error detection is performed to prevent erroneous bids from entering the auction. The auction coordinator has the ability to override any erroneous bids that are entered to prevent prejudice to the auction.

Abstract: A cooling system for an off-highway vehicle includes a heat exchanger (e.g., an engine coolant or hydraulic oil heat exchanger) and a fan mechanism for flowing air along a flow path through the heat exchanger. In the improvement, the fan mechanism is a centrifugal fan mechanism and is substantially the sole means for flowing air along the flow path. That is, there is substantially no ram-urged air. The mechanism includes a housing and a fan in the housing. The fan has forward curved blades, thereby to reduce system noise. A preferred fan has a depth-to-diameter ratio not in excess of about 0.4 and, most preferably, not in excess of about 0.25. An alternate embodiment includes what might be termed a split-discharge arrangement wherein air blown by the fan is discharged along two paths.
