Abstract: Whether the motion of leg bodies (2) is in a single leg support state or two-leg support state is decided and when it is in a single leg support state, a floor reaction (F) acting on the leg body (2) contacting the ground is estimated on the basis of the equation of motion for the center of gravity (GO) of a bipedal walking body (1). When it is in a two-leg support state, floor reactions(Fr, Ff) acting on the respective leg bodies (2) are estimated on the basis of the equation of motion for the center of gravity (GO) of the bipedal walking body (1) and the relation between the components of floor reactions (Fr, Ff) of each leg body (2) and the position of the ankle (12) of each leg body (2) with respect to the center of gravity (GO) of the bipedal walking body (1). Further, on the basis of an inverse dynamics model using the estimates of the floor reactions (Fr, Ff), the moments acting on the knee joint (10) and hip joint (8) are estimated. Thereby, the floor reactions acting on the leg bodies of a bipedal walking body, such as a human being, and the moments acting on the joints of the leg bodies are grasped accurately in real time by a relatively simple method.

Abstract: A weighted mean arrival time determines a delay offset of a fractionally spaced equalizer (350). The weighted mean arrival time is determined using path arrival times and energies from a Rake receiver (604). The difference between a weighted mean arrival time and a current delay offset is set to a difference X, in units of the equalizer tap spacing (608). If the difference X is greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to -1, then the current delay offset is updated by an incremental delay offset (610), (612), (614), (616) and the equalizer filter coefficients are shifted by a number of tap spacings (618), (620). Otherwise, the current delay offset is not updated and the filter coefficients of the fractionally spaced equalizer are not shifted (350). Adaptation of the filter coefficients and updates of the delay offset of the equalizer occur only during pilot bursts so as to minimize adaptation transients.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a novel process for the preparation of carbon based structured materials with controlled topology, morphology and functionality. The nanostructured materials are prepared by controlled carbonization, or pyrolysis, of precursors comprising phase separated copolymers. The precursor materials are selected to phase separate and self organize in bulk, in solution, in the presence of phase selective solvents, at surfaces, interfaces or during fabrication, into articles, fibers or films exhibiting well-defined, self-organized morphology or precursors of well-defined, self-organized, bi- or tri-phasic morphology. Compositional control over the (co)polymers provides control over the structure of the phase separated precursor whose organization therein dictates the nanostructure of the material obtained after carbonization or pyrolysis, wherein each dimension of the formed structure can be predetermined. When the precursor morphology is selected to comprise cylindrical domains this procedure additionally allows for the direct formation of two dimensional nanowire grids or arrays of oriented nanostructures on surfaces. When these nanowire grids or arrays are perpendicularly oriented to the surface applications include field emitters, high surface area electrodes, electronic devices such as diodes and transistors, tools for AMF tips and elements of molecular electronics. When the first nanostructured morphology is selected to form cylinders parallel to the surface then nanowire arrays are formed after pyrolysis. When the composition of the first nanostructured morphology is selected to comprise a continuous precursor matrix then a continuous carbon based nanostructured material is formed. The internal structure of the carbon based material can be selected to comprise perpendicular pores or an interconnected array of pores. The carbon based structures can additionally find application in photovoltaics, supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, computer memory, carbon electrodes, carbon foams, actuators and hydrogen storage.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for drug delivery suitable for promoting the transmucosal absorption of drugs, especially drugs with poor intrinsic bioavailability, such as peptides, proteins, vaccines, and nucleic acids. The delivery system of this invention preferably comprises fatty acid esters and their hydrophilic derivatives that associate with water and other polar solvents to form reverse micelles that are physically stabilized in the presence of gastrointestinal fluid, water, and other hydrophilic solvents. Such stable reverse micelles are formed by suitable mixtures of polymeric or non-polymeric compounds with amphiphiles. Micelles made using these methods undergo phase transformation more slowly resulting in delayed drug release profiles and sustained absorption. When administered as a pharmaceutical to mucosal surfaces following oral ingestion or intranasal administration, therapeutic molecules principally solubilized in the aqueous phase are protected from digestion by mucosal enzymes and other mucosal degradative processes and are taken up by absorptive cell mechanisms and reach appropriate body compartments. The reverse micelle compositions may comprise mono-, di-glycerides and/or their transesterified products containing C6-C12 fatty acids chains, wherein the transester groups consist of hydrophilic moieties.

Abstract: A method of transporting precision equipment materials without absorption of thermal energy through the heat sensitive material or device such as flat panel displays. The transfer member has a carbon fiber reinforced composite material body with a layer of metal film on the top and bottom surfaces of the transfer member that provides a reflective surface. Flat panel displays, for example, release radiant thermal energy that is absorbed by the carbon fiber reinforced composite which is detrimental to the flat panel display. The reflective surface created by the metal film prevents the energy absorption by the carbon fiber reinforced composite. A glass fiber and epoxy layer on the metal film surface protects the metal film.
