Patent EP-0734108-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SACHER DOMINIC
IPC: H02G5/06
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: The electrical lighting system has a number of lighting units (1) that are supported on a flexible cable (3) that is of a flat ribbon form and is produced of an insulating material such as a silicon elastomer. The cross section can be rectangular or oval and embedded in this are live, neutral and earth flexible conductors (4, 6). The cable and the lighting units are supported on hanger brackets (2) fixed to a ceiling. Each lighting unit stem has two main parts that are hinged above the socket section. With the parts separated the unit can be located over the cable. Internally there are projecting contact pins that penetrate the insulation and engage the conductors when the parts are pressed together.

Abstract: A current limit circuit (10) uses a reference current (28)
with zero temperature coefficient. A feedback loop (18, 26, 22)
maintains substantially equal V GS  for first (22) and second (24)
transistors. The reference current sets the current through the
first transistor which therefore limits the current in the second
transistor. The second transistor is a power device that supplies
current to a squib detonation device (38) in automotive air bag
application.

IPC: H02K7/16
Filed: 1996-05-10
Abstract: A compound shaft for a three journal bearing turbomachine is disclosed which
includes a first stiff shaft supported by two journal bearings, a second stiff shaft supported
by one journal bearing and by one bi-directional thrust bearing, and a flexible disk shaft
that operably connects the first and second stiff shafts. The flexible disk shaft utilizes a
flexible disk to function as a low hysterisis joint in parallel with a non-linear trunion clock
spring such that the flexible disk shaft transfers overturning support from the first stiff
shaft to the second stiff shaft and transfers thrust bearing support from the second stiff
shaft to the first stiff shaft The flexible disk shaft allows the compound shaft to tolerate
extremely large misalignments of the three journal bearings from a strait line axis. The
dynamic characteristics of the compound shaft (especially the axial location of the flexible
disk of the flexible disk shaft) are utilized to tune the frequencies of the turbomachine's
rigid body and flexural criticals. All rigid body critical frequencies can be set below
twenty percent of the machine's maximum operating speed and all flexural critical
frequencies can be set more than thirty five percent above the turbomachine's maximum
operating speed. When the compound shaft is supported by compliant foil hydrodynamic
fluid film bearings (both journal and thrust), all negotiated rotor criticals can be extremely
well damped (dimensionless damping coefficient Q of less than 2.5) and all criticals (both
negotiated rigid body criticals and unnegotiated flexural criticals) need not be balanced.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for collecting samples from capillary electrophoresis (CE)
for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is
disclosed. The apparatus has a capillary (18), a metallic support (12), a porous
member (32), and a power supply (28) for applying an electrical potential between the
porous member (32) and an inlet end (20) of the capillary (18) to drive the sample
through the capillary during CE. The capillary (18) transmits a sample from the inlet
end (20) to the exit end (38) during capillary electrophoresis. The metallic support
(12) supports the porous membrane (14) such that the porous membrane (14) contacts
the capillary exit end (38) during CE. The metallic support (12) (with the porous
membrane (14)) is suitable for placing in a mass spectrometer (52) to act as a repeller
for MALDI. The porous member (32) has at least a portion (34) thereof that is
generally concentric with the capillary exit end (38) and contacts the porous
membrane (14) during CE. The capillary exit end (38) and the metallic support (12)
are adapted to lift the capillary exit end (38) from the porous membrane (14) and
reposition it on the porous membrane (14) at a different location to deposit
noncontinuously different fractions of the sample exiting the capillary (18) on the
porous membrane (14). When an electrically conducting liquid is present in the
porous member (32), it provides electrical communication between the capillary exit
end (38) and the power supply (28).

Abstract: Centrifuged anticoagulated blood samples are analyzed under magnification in a centrifuge tube containing a layer-elongating insert, which tube is placed on a calibrated slide. The slide includes a slot in which the tube is placed. A calibrated scale is disposed adjacent to the slot for use in measuring various blood sample parameters, such as hematocrit, platelet count, and the like. Anemia and/or low platelet counts are indicative of potentially serious complications of malaria. Their detection will prompt a physician to consider the liklihood of serious illness due to malaria. The presence or absence of blood-borne parasites can also be determined using the procedures of this invention. Thus the device allows a blood sample to be analyzed for malaria parasites, and also allows measurement of hematicrit and platelet counts. The scale can be presented in a normal image when a simple lens magnification, such as a magnifying glass, is used to view the tube and slide; and can also be presented in mirror image when compound lens magnification, such as a microscope, is used to view the tube and slide. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for creating and manipulating groups of graphic objects using enclosures. A
persistent graphic object, such as a closed loop is drawn around a set of graphic objects as an

then be modified by 1) graphically altering the enclosure loop to include or remove graphic objects,
2) fusing groups by moving one of them so that their enclosure loops overlap (i.e., they "fuse" into
one), 3) fusing groups through gestures which "touch" enclosure loops of the groups to be fused or

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement
for adapting models in speaker verification systems or similar
systems using models based on data collected from a person
during a certain time period. If a simple model is utilized
a less reliable verification is obtained, but if, on
the other hand, a more complex model is utilized, the problem
is a long training time period. The present invention
solves this problem by using a plurality of different models
in the same speaker verification system. The verification is
put into operation using the model requiring a smaller
amount of speech data. During the use, more speech data is
collected continuously. This material is used to further
train either only the more complex model or both the simpler
model already put into operation and the more complex model.
At suitable intervals, a comparison is made of the performance
capacities of the models. Once the more complex model
yields a more reliable verification result it will take over
the verification in the operating situation. The subsequent
model unit may be put into operation either instantaneously
or gradually, e.g. by using a weight function.
