Patent EP-1391553-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IGNAGNI MARIO
IPC: D21G9/00
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: The present invention is directed to improving the accuracy with which
a stationary array sensor provides cross directional measurements by providing an
offset compensation to the stationary array sensor using the output of a scanning
sensor associated with the manufacturing process. Exemplary embodiments
correlate outputs from the stationary sensor array and the scanning array using a
data reconciliation process. For example, a practical, real time data reconciliation
of measurements from the scanning sensor and measurements from the stationary
array sensor is achieved by computing offsets using a bank of Kalman filters to
correlate outputs from the two sensors for each measurement zone, wherein each
filter possesses a relatively simple computational structure. The Kalman filters can
fuse the outputs from the stationary array sensor and the scanning sensor to track,
and compensate, drift of the stationary array sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous electrolyte solution absorber
including an aqueous electrolyte solution absorbent polymer obtained by introducing
a hydrophilic polar group to a water insoluble polymer and a material to be sucked.
The aqueous electrolyte solution absorber is produced by filling a water permeable bag
type member with the aqueous electrolyte solution absorbent polymer obtained by
introducing the hydrophilic polar group to the water insoluble polymer and a material
to be sucked. The aqueous electrolyte solution absorber is inexpensive and has a high
safety, a broad applicable range and a good handling property upon transportation or
storage. Thus, a large amount of aqueous electrolyte solution absorbers can be rapidly
conveyed at one time even to a risky place where persons are endangered to convey
the absorbers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for gasifying fuel in a fluidised bed reactor (1) containing fluidised solid material particles. The fuel (8) is introduced into the reactor bottom part, and product gas (10) formed in gasification is led from the reactor top to a separator, such as a cyclone (11), which separates solid particles from the gas for recirculation to the reactor. In accordance with the invention, a bubbling fluidised bed (2) containing coarser particles, and above this, a circulating bed containing finer particles are maintained in the reactor by recirculating the particles separated from the product gas to the reactor, to the top of the bubbling fluidised bed or above this. The reactor may comprise a lower part (2) for the bubbling fluidised bed and an upper part (4) larger in cross-section for the circulating fluidised bed, the speed of the ascending gas flow in the circulating bed being equal to or lower than that of the bubbling bed. The separating limit in the cyclone may be adjusted such that the discharged product gas flow entrains solid particles, which have a binding effect on tacky ash particles. The product gas is cooled in two successive heat exchangers (19, 20) before filtration of the gas. The method is suitable for gasification of biomasses and recycled fuels forming tars and/or containing chlorine, thus providing a solution to the problems of fouled and clogged gas ducts.

Abstract: Information signals such as grayscale images or audio signals are represented as a sequence of PCM signal samples. To embed auxiliary data in the least significant bits of the signal, the samples are slightly distorted. There is a so-termed 'rate-distortion function' (20) which gives the largest embedding rate R given a certain distortion level D. It appears that the efficiency of prior art embedding schemes such as LSB replacement (21,22) can be improved. The invention discloses such embedding schemes (23,24). According to the invention, the signal is divided into groups of L (L>1) signal samples (x). For each group of signal samples, a vector of least significant portions (x mod n) of the signal samples is created. For n=2, the vector comprises the least significant bit of each signal sample. The syndrome of said vector (as defined in the field of error detection and correction) represents the embedded data. Only one (or a few, in any case less than L) signal sample(s) of a group needs to be modified so as to achieve that the vector assumes a desired syndrome value.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for the generation of a substantially homogeneous population of undifferentiated cells. More particularly, the present invention relates to the purification of a substantially homogeneous population of stem cells and their progenitor or precursor cells. Even more particularly, the present invention provides a population of neural stem cells (NSCs). The subject invention is particularly directed to NSCs and precursor cells with the capacity to differentiate into cells and cell lineages required for the development, maintenance or repair of the central nervous system in an animal such as a mammal. The present invention is further directed to NSCs and progenitor and/or precursor cells which are capable of proliferation and differentiation into multiple cell lineages, such as but not limited to neurons, oligodendrocytes, glia and astrocytes. The subject invention further contemplates the use of NSCs and/or precursor cells for the repair or regeneration of tissue, such as tissue associated with the central nervous system, in an animal including a mammal. The NSCs of the present invention may be used to identify naturally occurring molecules such as cytokines as well as molecules obtained from natural product screening or screening of chemical libraries which induce proliferation of the NSCs. Such molecules are useful in the development of therapeutics.
