Patent BR-9913411-A (BR)
Inventor: FAINSTEIN BORIS
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: An adaptive control system for adaptively controlling a turning operation performed at a work piece by a turning tool adjusts a controlled input operation parameter F to maintain an output operation parameter DELTAM substantially at a predetermined value DELTAMo to compensate variation of the output operation paramemeter DELTAM caused by the variation of at least one operation condition B=B (t). The system comprises a sensor (8) of the output operation parameter DELTAM for providing a signal Uc proportional to a current value DELTAMc and an adaptive controller (10) for determining a value Fc to which the input operation parameter F should be adjusted, as a function of kUc, where k is a signal transmission coefficient which comprises an invariant signal transmission coefficient component ko inversely proportional to DELTAMo. The adaptive controller includes an amplifier transforming the signal Uc into koUc, and an input parameter override unit controlled to adjust the controlled operation input parameter to Fc. The adaptive controller further comprises a correction processing means calculating kcUc, where kc is a varying signal transmission coefficient component whose current values depend on the variation of the operation condition B=B (t). The adaptive controller is capable of calculating k=f (ko, kc).

Title: Method for the preparation of a probe for nucleic acid hybridization
Inventor: SVANVIK NICKE
IPC: C12Q1/6837
Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a probe, thus prepared probe, and the use of such a probe for selectively choosing sequence for nucleic acid diagnostic purposes, using preferably homogenous solutions. The invention is based upon a great number of probes having different sequences and lengths which all are complementary to different parts of the nucleic acid to be detected, which probes are synthetised on a solid matrix. The signal which they provide in non-hybridized condition is monitored, whereupon the nucleic acid to be detected is added, and the signal is monitored again. Those probes that show the most significant difference in signal are those, from a sensitivity point of view, that are the most suitable one.

Title: Germinating and treating malting grain
Inventor: SCOTT LIONEL
IPC: C12C1/047
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: A method of treating malting grain, in which the grain is subjected to a water restriction stress after commencement of germination under normal conditions by reducing the amount of water available to the grain within the germinating environment. This is done for at least one time-interval sufficient to modify, as compared with normally-germinated grain, at least one of the following parameter; (i) the amount of soluble sugars in a hot water extract; (ii) the alpha-amylase level; (iii) the degree of root and shoot growth; (iv) the total nitrogen content and the soluble nitrogen ratio; and/or (v) the diastatic power; as determined in the germinated and thus-treated grain. Preferably the water restriction stress is imparted by lowering the relative humidity of air flowing around the grain within a germination environment to below 95%.

Title: Preparation of conductive polymers from stabilized precursor solutions
Inventor: LESSNER PHILIP M
IPC: H01G9/028
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: Conductive polymers are prepared from a stabilized solution containing a monomer, an Fe(II) oxidizing agent, and a mixed solvent. The solvents are selected to stabilize the Fe(III) oxidizing agent and monomer in solution while allowing highly conducting polymers to be produced upon evaporating the lower-boiling solvent. The higher-boiling solvent does not appreciably complex with Fe(III), while the lower-boiling solvent forms a weak complex with Fe(III). The mixed-solvent system of the present invention may be used for preparing a conductive polymer counter electrode in a solid tantalum capacitor by polymerizing the monomer inside a porous tantalum pellet.

Title: Adjusting time intervals for the update of gain control signals according to a time-variant characteristic of a power level
Inventor: TSUMURA SOICHI
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: A baseband signal processing section 50 for performing baseband processing of a received signal produces and updates a gain control signal for controlling gain used in a variable-gain section 30. Time intervals for the update of the gain control signal are set on the basis of the rate of change over time in the power level of the received signal. As the absolute value of the slope of the amount of change in the power level of the received signal per unit time increases, a shorter time interval for the update of the gain control signal is set. The intervals may also be adjusted according to the difference or ratio between the power level and a power level averaged over a long time period. Preferably the gain control has a log-linear characteristic. The stated application is mobile terminals.

IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: An instrument for monitoring and indicating electrical battery health by comparison of in-service performance with performance measured when the battery was first installed. Data is automatically collected through accurate monitoring and recording of battery terminal voltage during normal operation, and by applying periodic calibrated loads. By comparing collected data with that collected when the equipment was new, an indication of health, relative to that when new, is given. The output may be used by machine operators and/or machine systems to avoid failure of the associated machine because of poor battery condition, to minimise the effects of a failure, and to schedule maintenance including a battery replacement strategy. The instrument may be used on a tractor or a boat.
