Patent EP-0805215-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MUELLER UWE RICHARD
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1997-04-30
Abstract: The invention features methods for detecting a target analyte in a sample. In these methods, a sample is contacted with a detector probe and a capture probe to form a detector probe-analyte-capture probe complex. The detector probe includes a new moiety, having a predetermined pI and containing a detectable label. The complex is isolated from detector probe that is not bound in the complex, the moiety is released from the complex, and the released moiety is concentrated,  e.g.,  by isoelectric focusing or other methods. Detection of the moiety,  e.g. , at a position in a pH gradient corresponding to its pI, can be used as a measure of the presence and concentration of the analyte in the sample.

Abstract: A method is provided for a vehicle yaw rate estimation
using two accelerometers (12,14) and a steer angle sensor (22). The new
method combines two complimentary approaches to yaw rate
estimation using accelerometers. A kinematic yaw rate
estimate is weighted with a vehicle lateral acceleration at
the centre of gravity, and steering angle and vehicle
forward speed are incorporated into a Kalman filter for
estimating vehicle yaw rate based upon the kinematic yaw
rate estimate, the lateral acceleration at the centre of
gravity, the vehicle steering angle, and the vehicle forward
speed. The method incorporates use of either one or two
accelerometers. An apparatus for estimating vehicle yaw
rate is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicular air conditioning refrigerant compressor is disclosed. The variable
displacement compressor includes a suction chamber, a discharge chamber, a crank
chamber, a drive shaft having rotated by a vehicle engine, a swash plate rotatable with the
drive shaft and located within the crank chamber. The swash plate and the drive shaft
have a tilt angle between them. The tilt angle is controlled by a control valve mechanism
which regulates the introduction of a gas from the discharge chamber to the crank
chamber. The compressor further includes a center sleeve slidably mounted on the drive
shaft. The position of the center sleeve is responsive to the tilt angle. The compressor
also includes a relief passage for relieving gas from the crank chamber to the suction
chamber, and includes an axial hole in the drive shaft having an opening at one end of the
drive shaft and an end within the drive shaft, a vertical hole in the drive shaft having two
openings on the surface of the drive shaft and perpendicular to said axial hole. The
vertical hole intersects the axial hole near the end of the axial hole. The relief passage
further includes a passage in fluid connection with the suction chamber and the opening
of the axial hole. The aperture of the two openings is regulated by the position of the
center sleeve.

IPC: H04W52/04

Abstract: A receiving power is measured at a step 101. An
initial value IP and an increment value PI for a transmission
power are determined at a step 102 according to the receiving
power measurement value. An expected transmission power P is
set to the initial value IP at a step 103. At a step 104, it
is determined whether the number of transmission times
exceeds or not a predetermined number N. When the number of
transmission times exceeds a predetermined number N, the
operation goes back to the processing step 103. When the
number of transmission times does not exceed a predetermined
number of times N, a test signal is transmitted with the
expected transmission power P at a step 105. After the
transmission of the test signal, at a processing step 106,
receipt acknowledge signal ACK from a receiving station is
waited in a predetermined period of time. If no receipt
acknowledge signal ACK is received in the predetermined
period of time, the expected transmission power P is
increased by the amount corresponding to PI at a step 107 and
the operation goes back to the step 104. On the other hand,
if the receipt acknowledge signal ACK is received in the
predetermined period of time, the data which want to be
transmitted is transmitted with the expected transmission
power P at a step 108.

IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: A circuit for causing a voltage step in a battery of a
plurality of serially-connected cells is provided. The circuit
causes one or more of the cells to discharge through a resistor
at a higher rate than the other cells, thus producing a voltage
step when the faster discharging cell dies before the other
cells. A reverse-biased diode is connected in parallel to the
faster discharging cell to cause the current to bypass the
faster discharging cell after it has died, thus preventing it
from reverse charging. This circuit may be controlled to
adjust the higher rate of discharge, and thus the time of
occurrence of the voltage step.

Inventor: KERZ LUDO
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1998-05-14
Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur digitalen Rasterung eines Halbtonbildes mit Rastern beliebiger Rasterweiten und Rasterwinkel beschrieben, bei dem die Rasterung durch Auslesen einer Schwellwertmatrix und Vergleichen der ausgelesenen Schwellwerte mit den Farbwerten des Halbtonbildes erfolgt. Dazu wird eine Schwellwertmatrix verwendet, in der die Schwellwerte eine oder mehrere Rasterpunkte eines unter einem Winkel angeordneten Rasters repräsentieren, mit dem die gewünschte Rasterweite und der gewünschte Winkel angenähert wird. Während des Auslesens der Schwellwerte wird ein Fehler zwischen dem gewünschten Raster und dem durch die Schwellwertmatrix angenäherten Raster ermittelt, und der Fehler wird durch eine Korrektur der Ausleseadresse für die Schwellwertmatrix kompensiert, sobald der Fehler einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert überschreitet. Alternativ können anstelle der Schwellwertmatrix gespeicherte Bitmuster verwendet werden, die durch Vergleichen der zu reproduzierenden Tonwerte mit einer Schwellwertmatrix gewonnen wurden.
