Title: Disque d'analyse optique et ensemble de lecture apparente pour assurer une centrifugation interactive
Inventor: WORTHINGTON MARK
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un logiciel pour centrifuger de manière interactive des échantillons biologiques sur des bio-disques dans des unités de lecture de disques informatiques. Un bio-disque est un disque modifié qui peut mémoriser des échantillons de laboratoire. Le logiciel initialise la vitesse de rotation de l'unité de lecture du disque et contrôle la réponse émise par le disque. L'unité de disque dirige le laser sur le disque et détecte la lumière qui interagit avec les échantillons de laboratoire sur le disque. Cette détection permet de reconnaître l'état en cours des échantillons biologiques. Un mode de réalisation détecte les réponses à partir de l'interrogation pour ajuster la vitesse de rotation du disque pendant le processus de centrifugation. La présente invention profite des commandes de vitesse existantes dans les unités à vitesse linéaire constante et à vitesse angulaire constante pour obtenir une large plage de vitesses de rotation. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention traite de l'agitation du disque pour faciliter la séparation des échantillons biologiques.

Abstract: An interface circuit (IC) is described for use between a
direct-current voltage source (5) and a circuit (8) for the
pulsed driving of a load (L) such as an electric motor, in
parallel with which at least one high-capacitance capacitor
(C3) is connected, the interface circuit comprising:
   a MOSFET transistor (Q1) connected to a control circuit

operatively to be connected to the voltage source (5),
permanently and temporarily, respectively. 
     A circuit (R1-R4, C2; CP, CC) for controlling current
conduction in the MOSFET transistor (Q1) is connected to the
gate (G) of the transistor and, each time it receives an
activation signal, can bring about an initial transitory
stage in which a progressively increasing current is
conducted through the transistor (Q1) and in which the
transistor is operating in the linear region of its
characteristic, and a subsequent, or steady-state stage in
which the transistor is operating in conditions of
substantial saturation. 
     An enabling circuit (R9, R10, D5, Q4, Q2) is connected to
the second supply terminal (2) to keep the MOSFET transistor
(Q1) non-conductive when the second supply terminal (2) is 
disconnected and to supply an activation signal to the

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling a
vehicle (50) which can perform proper vehicle control and
can issue a proper warning without causing abrupt behaviors
of a vehicle. A plurality of range sensors (1; 1A, 1B; 2-8)
are installed in an outer peripheral portion of a vehicle
(50) for sensing a target object including another vehicle.
The controller includes a sensor signal failure/
deterioration determining circuit (70) to select, of signals
outputted from the plurality of range sensors, a signal from
at least one range sensor, which is neither failed nor
deteriorated in sensor characteristics, for control using
the selected signal with priority. A warning is issued to a
driver when the target object, e.g., another vehicle, comes
into a preset danger detection area. When the range sensors
are installed in front and rear portions of the vehicle
(50), control is carried out using a signal from at least
one range sensor with priority, which is positioned on the
same side as a steering wheel. When the range sensors are
installed on both lateral sides of the vehicle, control is
carried out using a signal from at least one range sensor
with priority, which has detected a shorter distance from
the target object.

Abstract: A method, system, and software are disclosed for improving the quality of a
signal. A base signal is recursively decomposed for a desired number of pyramid
levels. The decomposed signal from the lowest level is modified to generate a
preprocessed signal. The preprocessed signal from the lowest level is used to improve
signal components or characteristics of the decomposed signal of the next higher level
of the pyramidal decomposition, resulting in a modified signal at the next higher level.
In one embodiment, the preprocessed signal includes filter mask that is used to guide
a filtering process on the decomposed signal of the next higher level. In another
embodiment, the preprocessed signal includes a up-predicted signal that is combined
with the decomposed signal of the next higher level. The preprocessed signal from a
lower level is used to generate a modified signal at a higher level. The generation of a
preprocessed signal and a modified signal is recursively repeated for each level until
the highest level of the pyramidal decomposition is reached, resulting in an improved
base signal. The present invention finds particular application in photography and
digital film processing, whereby the illustrated method may be used to reduce image
noise, thereby improving image quality.
