Abstract: A guide wire (1A) includes a first wire (2) disposed on the distal side of the guide wire and a second wire (3) disposed on the proximal side from the first wire. The first wire and the second wire are joined to each other by welding. A welded portion (14) formed by welding has a projection (15) projecting in the outer peripheral direction. The height of the projection may be in a range of 0.001 to 0.3 mm. The first wire may be made from a superelastic alloy, and the second wire be made from a stainless steel. The first wire and the second wire are welded to each other by a butt resistance welding process. Such a guide wire has a high joining strength between the first wire and the second wire, to thereby improve the operationality. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for controlling a chemical reactor such as a gas-phase reactor using a non-linear predictive control includes steps for generating a plurality of signals representing a current state of the chemical reactor and reflecting a respective constituent of reactants in the chemical reactor, calculating a future state of the chemical reactor responsive to said plurality of signals and referenced to mass hold-up of the reactants in the chemical reactor, and controlling at least one parameter related to the chemical reactor so as to control the future state of the chemical reactor. Spurious control events due to noise in sensor or controller output signals are preferably minimized by filtering these signals using a N-sign filter subroutine.

Abstract: A gain control system (40) in a Direct Conversion Receiver (10) or similar receiver, includes an automatic gain control circuit (52) which determines whether a low noise amplifier, which amplifies signals from an antenna (46) prior to mixing with signals from a local oscillator (50), should be set to a high gain or a low gain. The output of the mixer (48) is analyzed by a blocker detect circuit (56) to determine whether a blocker signal is present. Based on the presence of a blocker signal and the power level of the useful signal, the gain of the low noise amplifier may be reduced from the high gain to an intermediate gain in order to reduce self mixing between the radio frequency and local oscillator ports of the mixer, which may lead to dynamic DC offsets. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method is described in which a multimedia story is rendered to a consumer in dependence on features extracted from an audio signal representing for example a musical selection of the consumer. Features such as key changes and tempo of the music selection are related to dramatic parameters defined by and associated with story arcs, narrative story rules and film or story structure. In one example a selection of a few music tracks provides input audio signals (602) from which musical features are extracted (604), following which a dramatic parameter list and timeline are generated (606). Media fragments are then obtained (608), the fragments having story content associated with the dramatic parameters, and the fragments output (610) with the music selection.

Abstract: Provided herein are polyamine precursors useful in the manufacture of epoxy resins. Use of a polyamine precursor according to the invention provides an epoxy resin formulation having an increased working time over prior art amines used for curing epoxies. Increased working times translate to the ability to manufacture composites which could not be made using conventional epoxy curing agents, such as composite blades for wind-driven turbines. Such polyamines are also useful in polyurea formulations for lengthening reaction time, thus allowing more flow of applied polyurea coatings prior to gellation.

Abstract: Techniques of reducing erroneous readings of the apparent charge levels stored in a number of rows of memory cells on account of capacitive coupling between the cells. All pages of a first row are programmed with a first pass, followed by programming all pages of a second adjacent row with a first pass, after which the first row is programmed with a second pass, and then all pages of a third row are programmed with a first pass, followed by returning to program the second row with a second pass, and so on, in a back-and-forth manner across the rows of an array. This minimizes the effect on the apparent charge stored on rows of memory cells that can occur by later writing data into adjacent rows of memory cells.

Abstract: An electronic animal trap with a CPU-controlled, rearming, high voltage output circuit for trapping and exterminating pests. The high-voltage output circuit is connected to a pair of killing plates which are activated with a high-voltage pulse train for a period of time constituting a killing cycle when a known impedance is sensed across the plates. If, upon conclusion of the killing cycle, the impedance remains across the plates, the circuit activates a visual indicator to alert a user that the trap contains a dead mouse. However, if the impedance increases to that of an open circuit, likely meaning the animal has escaped, the circuit automatically rearms itself and no visual indicator is initiated.

Abstract: A separation chamber(2) has a channel between upper(4) and lower(5) collecting heads. The height difference causes a lighter particle fraction to float to the upper head and a heavier particle fraction to sink to the lower head. A feed inlet for a channel(10) introducing the suspension of particles and separating fluid is transverse to longitudinal axis of the separating chamber channel. A discharge unit delivers a fraction flow while maintaining a constant flow rate of the heavy fraction in the separating chamber channel. Several separation chamber channels may be created by a number of vertically spaced parallel walls. The channels are inclined at 10-80[deg], preferably 35-45[deg], to the horizontal and the channel walls may be vibrated. The discharge unit forms part of equipment for setting a differential speed between the flows of the floating and sinking particles. Flow rate difference can be controled so that particles denser than the fluid reach the lower collecting head(5) and solids with a density of not >5%, preferably not >3% and more preferably 1% less than the fluid density reach the upper collecting head(4). A mixer for particles and separating fluid is located at the level of a discharge outlet of the upper head. Equipment for setting a differential flow rate comprises a pump for feeding separating fluid into the mixer, a pump for discharging a heavy fraction at the lower head and a control unit for both pumps. Differential flow rate is 0-1.5 or 0-0.9cm/second. An additional feed point for particle free separating fluid free exists between the main feed opening and the upper head. The plant separates particles with a diameter of 0.5-50mm, preferably 1-10mm, more preferably 2-7mm diameter with not >15wt%, preferably not >10wt% and more preferably not >5wt% of smaller particles. An independent claim is included for a sink and float process for separation of solid particles of different densities in which a channel(3) acting as a separating chamber(2) extends between upper(4) and lower(5) collecting heads for the lighter and heavier fractions, the suspension of particles and fluid enters transverse to the channel axis and a fraction flow is discharged while maintaining a constant flow rate of the heavy fraction in the channel.

Abstract: A helical grooved pin (10) for insertion into a hole in a hard host material (50) includes a formed portion of helical lands (16) and grooves (18). Pin material from the grooves is displaced to define lands at an expanded diameter (D2) relative to the pin stock material. The forming process employs a rolling die configured to produce substantially uniform cylindrical land surfaces. The helical lands (16) have a width (W) that is at least five times the height (H1) of the land. The expanded diameter of the formed portion of the pin is no more than 5% larger than the diameter (D1) of the pin stock material. These proportions provide a uniform, durable and reliable retaining surface to the pin which is particularly useful in applications where the host material is harder than the pin. <IMAGE>
