Granted: 2004-11-23
Abstract: A charger for charging a rechargeable battery. The charger comprises a circuit for producing a charging current having a variable level and a control circuit for controlling the charging current. During a first charging period the current is maintained at a level to rapidly charge the battery at a rate in amperes which is greater than the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours. The controller includes means for interrupting the charging current for a predetermined interruption interval. During the interruption interval, the charging current is maintained at a non-zero value. The controller also includes means for determining a resistance free voltage for the battery. During a subsequent charging period, the charging current is controlled in response to the value of the resistance free voltage.

Granted: 2002-12-17
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure de code à produit tensoriel de Kronecker pour mot de synchronisation, laquelle structure permet d'employer un filtre accordé séquentiel bi-mode. Ce filtre accordé permet de réduire considérablement les délais d'acquisition, étant donné que le nombre de fenêtres de fréquences à analyser est fortement réduit en cas de grande incertitude sur les fréquences. Avec le premier mode de fonctionnement, la sortie d'un filtre accordé sur le code à débit élevé n'est pas intégrée au niveau d'un intégrateur à post-détection en vue de l'obtention d'une acquisition fiable mais ambiguë du mot de synchronisation, alors qu'avec le second mode de fonctionnement, l'ambiguïté est levée.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter des antigènes et consistant d'abord à immobiliser un antigène sur un support solide, puis à mettre en contact le support avec un dispositif permettant d'obtenir l'anticorps par hybridation d'un dendrimère, la mise en contact se faisant par l'intermédiaire d'un oligonucléotide formant un complexe avec le dispositif. Il est possible d'employer, soit un anticorps primaire directement marqué par l'oligonucléotide, soit un anticorps secondaire marqué par l'oligonucléotide. En outre, un dendrimère marqué de façon conventionnelle peut s'hybrider pour donner l'oligonucléotide via une ou plusieurs des ramifications extérieures du dendrimère. Par rapport aux procédés conventionnels de détection d'antigènes, l'avantage de la présente invention est de donner plusieurs molécules de marquage par antigène, ce qui renforce le signal observé s'associant au marqueur.

Inventor: KESSLER RALF
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 1997-07-18
Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: A method for processing signals of a tire pressure monitoring system on vehicles on each of whose N wheels (R1 through R5) a transmitter is mounted and a reception antenna (1 through 5) which is connected to the input of a common receiver (8) is allocated to each transmitter in its vicinity, the transmitters transmitting, at time intervals, data telegrams which contain an individual identifier and a data portion following the latter. The signals received simultaneously from the reception antennas (1 through 5) and having the same identifier are conveyed in summed fashion to the receiver (8), alternately from all N reception antennas (1 through 5) and from N-1 reception antennas (1, 2, 4, 5), such that the one reception antenna (3) whose signal is blanked out of the sum of the signals is selected by cyclical transposition from the total number N of reception antennas (1 through 5). Then the intensity of the summed signals is determined, the intensity of the sums of N-1 signals is compared in each case to the intensity of the sum of N signals, and an identification is made of that reception antenna (3) from which the signal has come whose blanking from the signal sum brings about the greatest intensity loss (D1 through D5). Lastly, the signal having the relevant individual identifier is allocated to that reception antenna (3) and to the wheel (R3) allocated to it.

Abstract: A method for coating paper, wherein a coating composition containing coating particles is applied to the surface of a paper web containing lignocellulosic fibres to produce a coated paper web having coati ng particles bound to the paper web, and the coated web is dried. According to the method the surface area of the interface between the paper web and the coating particles is increased in order to enhance hydrogen bonding between the coating particles and the fibres of the web. The surface area can be increased by using a coating composition comprising fine fibrous material or by abrading the surface of t he paper or paperboard web or both. The invention will improve the smoothness of the surface without addition of foreign polymer binding agents to the web.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tray for receiving food, in particular on board aeroplanes, vehicles or other transport means, wherein the tray comprises a tray body, on which a first receiving surface for receiving food is formed, and a receiving part extending above the first receiving surface and spaced therefrom, on which upper side of which a second receiving surface for receiving food extending above the first receiving surface and spaced therefrom. Since the receiving surfaces are disposed on different planes, the actual area of the tray may be slight, in which case the receiving surfaces disposed lying above one another together form a receiving surface which may be substantially larger than the area of the tray. The tray specified by the invention is therefore particularly suitable for use in restricted spatial conditions, for example on board aeroplanes. The vertical dimensions of the tray may be such that the tray body with the receiving part placed thereon fits into a slide-in unit of an existing trolley. This saves space, for example on board aeroplanes.

Granted: 2003-10-28
Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method of monitoring a queue state of a switch in a subscriber board of an asynchronous transfer mode switching system. A difference value between a present time value and a previous input time value stored in a memory per connection is inputted to a forward resource management (FRM) cell when a resource management (RM) cell is inputted from a source, and a switch load measurement value written in the FRM cell is obtained by calculating a difference value between the present time value and a previous output time value stored in the memory per connection when the FRM cell transmitted from the source passes through the switch. The obtained switch load measurement value is inputted to a backward resource management (BRM) cell transmitted from a destination to be transmitted to the switch. Then, a queue state of the switch is judged by identifying the switch load measurement value which is applied to the BRM cell transmitted from the destination and passed through the switch, an explicit cell rate (ER) value is calculated according to the queue state of the switch, and the ER value is applied to the BRM cell to be transmitted to the destination.
