Abstract: The present invention relates to nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes that may be used in a number of commercial applications in which a contaminant, such as salt, must be separated from a feed fluid, such as brackish water, to yield a purified product fluid, as well as a method for manufacturing such membranes. According to embodiments of the invention, an aqueous amine solution including an amine, an organic acid (e.g., propionic acid) and a non-amine base is applied to the surface of a porous substrate. A second solution containing an acyl halide and an organic solvent immiscible in water is then applied to the aqueous amine solution to cause interfacial polymerization to occur. The resulting membranes exhibit superior salt rejection and flux properties.

Abstract: An optical disc recording method comprises the steps of:
setting a recording parameter function representing a relationship
between a recording velocity for recording data to an optical disc and a
parameter for optimally controlling a recording power controlling
waveform for controlling a recording power of a light beam irradiated to
the optical disc for recording the data; obtaining an optimal value for the
parameter by executing a test recording at one recording velocity or at a
plurality of recording velocities to a test area of the optical disc before
actual data recording to the optical disc; correcting the recording
parameter function in accordance with the obtained optimal value for the
parameter; deriving the parameter corresponding to a recording velocity
from the corrected recording parameter function; and recording the data
by irradiating a light beam of the recording power controlling waveform
to which the obtained parameter is applied.

Abstract: In a vehicle control device having a so-called keyless
entry system in which a door lock control unit controls a
door lock actuator by receiving a signal representing an
identification code and transmitted from a transmitter, an
internal-combustion engine control unit computes fuel
injection quantity and ignition timing from control data
stored in a memory in response to detection results inputted
from respective detectors, and thereby drives a fuel
injection valve and an igniter. The door lock control unit
detects whether a theft is attempted on the vehicle, based
on the switching states of various switches, and supplies
the result of the detection to a constant-voltage circuit in
the internal-combustion engine control unit in the form of a
code signal; when a theft is detected, power supply to
respective circuits in the internal-combustion engine
control unit is shut off. Furthermore, the internal-combustion
engine control unit checks whether the
identification code received by a receiver matches the
identification code prestored in the memory, and if they do
not coincide, inhibits the internal-combustion engine from
starting. Since identification code data that cannot be
created in a pseudo manner is inputted to the internal-combustion
engine control unit, not a binary signal
indicating whether to permit or not permit the starting of 
the internal-combustion engine, the vehicle can be reliably
prevented from being burgled and driven away.

Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous parenteral formulations containing an antiarrhythmic agent, such as amiodarone, and a sulfoalkyl ether cyclodextrin. The liquid formulations are clear, sterilizable, and chemically and physically stable. The liquid formulations do not require a surfactant and do not precipitate upon dilution with distilled water or other pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier. The sulfoalkyl ether cyclodextrin-containing formulation provides significant advantages over other cyclodextrin-containing formulations of amiodarone. The formulation can be prepared in acidic, neutral and slightly basic medium while providing acceptable concentrations of amiodarone suitable for parental administration. An SAE-CD-containing formulation of amiodarone can be provided in liquid form or as a reconstitutable powder. Moreover, highly concentrated solutions exceeding 200 mg of amiodarone per mL can be prepared. Solutions can be made either dilutable or non-dilutable with water at room temperature or under conditions typically encountered in the clinic.

Abstract: An analog/digital gain control device avoid some of the requirements associated with the nature of a closed-loop AGC circuits and which meets the remaining requirements without much difficulty uses an analog to digital conversion method that increases the number of effective ADC bits by compressing the baseband input analog signal using a logarithmic circuit. After the compressed analog signal is converted into a digital signal, a digital anti-log process or look-up table (LUT) is used to expand the digital signal back to the original linear scale. The word size of the output of the anti-log process is larger than the input word size due to the nature of the anti-log function. To reduce the word size of the digital signal an open loop normalization technique can be applied.
