Abstract: A spinning-reel fishing line guiding mechanism that readily does away with fishing line entanglement. Arm section (40a) of first bail support member (40) on bail arm (34) lies within a sphere having a radius of a first distance R1 given by the maximum distance from a reference point P--which is the juncture between stationary shaft cover (46) and bail (41)--to an outer peripheral portion of the arm section 40a. The arm section (40a) is formed such that distances R1a and R1b from the reference point P to points on its outer peripheral portion become gradually shorter than, heading outward from, the first distance R1. That is, the configuration is such that distances R1b become shorter than distances R1a. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The drive motor (12) of a powered axle on an electric train is energized e.g. from a supply source (14) having a 3-phase output regulated by a motor controller (18) whose basic function is to establish a motor torque corresponding to a set input value (Cmanip). The motor controller is integrated with an adhesion control unit (20) comprising the adhesion controller proper (22) and a processor (24). The adhesion control unit receives input (V) from a motor speed sensor (26) and passes to the controller signals representing the first (i.e. acceleration) (gamma) and second (Dgamma) derivatives of this variable. The speed sensor signal is also delivered to the motor controller (18) and, directly, to the adhesion controller (22). The motor controller also has input a motor supply current value through connections (IS1,IS2) from two of the supply phases. From its inputs, the motor controller estimates the motor torque and inputs a corresponding signal (Cm) to the adhesion controller. The latter's output signal (C-corr) modifies the motor controller setting (Cmanip) in a subtracter unit (27) to give a corrected setting signal (Ccons). The adhesion controller then responds to motor accelerations indicative of increased slip by reducing the torque setting (Ccons) of the motor controller (18).

Abstract: The invention describe protein arrays and their use to assay, in a parallel fashion, the protein products of highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences. By highly homologous or related it is meant those DNA coding sequences which share a common sequence and which differ only by one or more naturally occurring mutations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms, deletions or insertions, or those sequences which are considered to be haplotypes (a haplotype being a combination of variations or mutations on a chromosome, usually within the context of a particular gene). Such highly homologous or related DNA coding sequences are generally naturally occurring variants of the same gene. Arrays according to the invention have multiple for example, two or more, individual proteins deposited in a spatially defined pattern on a surface in a form whereby the properties, for example the activity or function of the proteins can be investigated or assayed in parallel by interrogation of the array.
