Title: Plant control device and control method using modulation algorithm
Inventor: SHIMOJO KANAKO
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: There is provided a control method for sufficiently compensating the non-linear characteristic for a plant having a strong non-linear characteristic and satisfying the follow-up and stability for a plant having a large control amount fluctuation. There is provided a plant control device using modulation algorithm. The control device includes: means for calculating a temporary control input for controlling the plant output to a target value; means for dividing the temporary control input into a plurality of components; means for modulating at least one of the components; and means for adding the modulated component to another component so as to generate a control input. Thus, it is possible to minimize the input fluctuation caused by modulation while maintaining the compensation ability of the non-linear characteristic such as plant friction and hysteresis attributed to the conventional modulation algorithm. Accordingly, even in a plant in which the temporary control input is greatly changed, it is possible to prevent oscillation of the output, thereby improving the controllability.

Title: An electrostatic fluid accelerator for and a method of controlling fluid flow
Inventor: GOROBETS VLADIMIR L
IPC: B03C3/68
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: An electrostatic fluid acceleration and method of operation thereof includes at least two synchronously powered stages with final or rear-most electrodes of one stage maintained at substantially the same instantaneous voltage as the immediately adjacent initial or forward-most electrodes of a next stage in an airflow direction. A single power supply or synchronized and phase controlled power supplies provide high voltage power to each of the stages such that both the phase and amplitude of the electric power applied to the corresponding electrodes are aligned in time. The frequency and phase control allows neighboring stages to be closely spaced at a distance of from 1 to 2 times an inter-electrode distance within a stage, and, in any case, minimizing or avoiding production of a back corona current from a corona discharge electrode of one stage to an electrode of a neighboring stage. Corona discharge electrodes of neighboring stages may be horizontally aligned, complementary collector electrodes of all stages being similarly horizontally aligned between and horizontally offset from the corona discharge electrodes.

Title: Adaptive pilot insertion for a mimo-ofdm system
Inventor: WALLACE MARK S
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2005-07-07
Abstract: A transmitting entity transmits a "base" pilot in each protocol data unit (PDU). A receiving entity is able to derive a sufficiently accurate channel response estimate of a MIMO channel with the base pilot under nominal (or most) channel conditions. The transmitting entity selectively transmits an additional pilot if and as needed, e.g., based on channel conditions and/or other factors. The additional pilot may be adaptively inserted in almost any symbol period in the PDU. The receiving entity is able to derive an improved channel response estimate with the additional pilot. The transmitting entity sends signaling to indicate that additional pilot is being sent. This signaling may be embedded within pilot symbols sent on a set of pilot subbands used for a carrier pilot that is transmitted across most of the PDU. The signaling indicates whether additional pilot is being sent and possibly other pertinent information.

Title: Maltogenic alpha-amylase variants
Inventor: BEIER LARS
IPC: C12N15/56
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: The inventors realized that in some applications the control of the maltose-to-glucose ratio is of great importance. Particularly for ethanol production from granular starch by fermen-tation, it may be an advantage to form a larger amount of glucose which is more readily fermentable than maltose. Particularly for production of maltose syrups glucose is an undesired product, and hence it of interest to increase the maltose-to-glucose ratio. They then developed a method of constructing such variants of based on the three-dimensional structure of a parent maltogenic alpha-amylase.

Abstract: A battery pack is provided for use when charging of a dedicated secondary battery in a portable terminal device is difficult. The battery pack is mounted in a battery mounting section in a portable cellular phone. In the battery pack, alkaline accumulators are connected in series. Alkaline accumulators generate electromotive forces having a voltage (3V) being lower than that of the dedicated secondary battery. A power source circuit has a boosting--type DC/DC converter which boosts a voltage of the alkaline accumulators being connected in series at a level same as that of the dedicated secondary battery (for example, 4.5V), and outputs the boosted voltage. An electrical double layer capacitor has a capacity to feed stable power to an internal circuit in which power consumption increases or decreases in a burst manner and is charged by application of an output of the power source circuit and stores the power.
