Title: Method and apparatus for recursive data filtering
Inventor: ERIKSSON STEFAN
IPC: G01D1/00
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: An apparatus and method for recursive filtering of time discrete measurement data b ni(50) relating to a measurable time-varying attribute to generate an estimated magnitude for the attribute at a particular time instant n. Each measurement has an associated reliability indicator X ni(52) representing a relative reliability of the measurement. Using the individual reliability indica-tors and a time-weighted filtered reliability indicator Z n-1 for a prior time instant, a filtered reliability indicator Z n(58) for the current time instant is generated. The filtered reliability indicator for the current time instant is then used to reliability-weight a weighted average (b n) of the plurality of measurements and to reliability-weight a time-weighted estimated magnitude s n-1 for the prior time instant. The weighted values are then used to generate an estimated magnitude s n (68) of the time-varying attribute for the current time instant.

Title: Air dehumidifier for pneumatic brake force producing device
Inventor: KERSCHER ALBERT
IPC: B60T17/00
Filed: 2001-12-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic brake force producing device comprising at least one suction device for the surrounding air. The aim of the invention is to prevent the condensation of air humidity in the brake force producing device. According to the invention, this can be achieved in an especially reliable manner by passing the aspirated air through a condenser before it enters the brake force producing device. The air-guiding parts in said condenser are at a lower temperature than the air-guiding parts of the brake force producing device in such a way that enough air humidity from the air condenses in the condenser to avoid further condensation in the brake force producing device.

Patent CA-2412332-A1 (CA)
Title: Diagnosing colic type in an infant
Inventor: TIERNEY JONATHAN JAMES
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: A method for diagnosing colic type in an infant exhibiting one or more symptoms characteristic of unspecified colic comprises the steps of optionally measuring in said infant at least one parameter indicative of unspecified colic; orally administering a liquid formulation of a .beta.-D-galactosidase enzyme separately, simultaneously with or sequentially to a lactose-containing feed; and determining at selected intervals of time any alteration in said infant of colic-type symptoms. An improvement in said symptoms of at least 50 % or greater is indicative of lactose-based intolerance. Where the enzyme formulation fails to alleviate the symptoms of unspecified colic, the infant is then placed on a diet of low allergen feed. An improvement in said symptoms of 50 % or more is indicative of allergen-based colic requiring maintenance on a low allergen-based diet. A failure to respond to such a low allergen-based diet is indicative of a need of further investigation, because the symptoms may be due to low-level infection or a metabolic error.
