Abstract: In the case of a method of detecting wind velocities by means of a Doppler-lidar system (10), a laser beam of a defined frequency generated by means of a laser (11) is emitted by a transmitting device (12) toward a space area and the light backscattered from the space area is received by means of a receiving telescope (13). For determining a Doppler shift, an interferogram is generated by means of an interferometer (16), the intensity distribution of the interferogram being directly measured by means of a photodetector (17). The measured intensity distribution is compared with one or more reference patterns which had previously been determined for defined parameters and are filed in a memory device (18a). From the comparison, the Doppler shift is determined as a measurement for the wind velocity. The Doppler-lidar system (10) comprises an analyzing unit (18a, 18b) for implementing the method, having a comparison unit (18b) for the comparison of reference patterns with the measured interferogram.

Abstract: The length and attenuation of a signal line between a transmitter and a customer premises equipment is to be estimated. A frequency dependent line input impedance (Z<SUB>in</SUB>(f)) as seen from the transmitter, is measured and an absolute impedance value (oe Z<SUB>in</SUB>(f) oe), is generated. The latter is shown as a curve (A1) in the diagram with the frequency (f) on the abscissa and the impedance (oe Z<SUB>in</SUB>(f) oe) on the ordinate. Extreme values (Max. 1 , Max 2 , Max 3 ; Min 1 , Min 2 , Min 3 ) arc denoted and a frequency distance (FD 1 -FD 4 ) between two consecutive of the extreme values is generated. The line length (L) is generated as L=½.vop/FD 1 , in which vop is the velocity of propagation of a signal on the line. The attenuation is estimated by multiplying the line length with an average attenuation value for the actual line type. The advantages are that the line length can be estimated with good accuracy in a simple manner for short lines and that the line attenuation is estimated in a simple manner.

Abstract: Refrigerant is circulated through an economized refrigeration system including a compressor, a gas cooler, a main expansion device, an economizer heat exchanger and an evaporator. After cooling, the refrigerant splits into an economizer flow path and a main flow path. Refrigerant in the economizer flow path is expanded to a low pressure and exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the main flow path in the economizer heat exchanger. The refrigerant in the main flow path is then expanded and heated in the evaporator and enters the compressor, completing the cycle. An accumulator positioned between the economizer heat exchanger and the compressor stores excess refrigerant in the system, regulating the amount of refrigerant in the system and the high pressure in the system. The amount of refrigerant in the accumulator is controlled by regulating the economizer expansion device. By adjusting the amount of refrigerant in the accumulator, the amount of refrigerant in the system, and therefore the high pressure of the system, can be regulated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining if a test compound, or a mix of compounds, modulates the interaction between two proteins of interest. The determination is made possible via the use of two recombinant molecules, one of which contains the first protein, a cleavage site for a proteolytic molecule, and an activator of a gene. The second recombinant molecule includes the second protein and the proteolytic molecule. If the test compound binds to the first protein, a reaction is initiated whereby the activator is cleaved, and activates a reporter gene.

Abstract: In a method of measuring a temperature value associated with melting, softening or decomposition of sample substances, an array of samples is deposited onto a support tray. The support tray is placed onto a heating device provided with temperature sensing means, the support tray is illuminated, and the array of samples is observed by a imaging device. WNle varying the temperature of the heating device, the image data from the imaging device is fed to an image recording device and temperature values associated with each feed of image data are also recorded. The image data is reviewed to detect changes in the image, such as image intensity, at each or selected sample locations, and the temperature of the heating device at an image change associated with a change in state of a sample is logged. Image processing software may be used to detect changes in the image, for example in the intensity of the image, at each sample location. The method may be used as a means for rapidly obtaining a melting point value for comparison of the physical characteristics of the members of a library of samples, especially polymer samples.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une activité de transmission de données de connexions établies surveillée au moyen de la mesure d'une charge ou d'un drain affectant des ressources de communication. D'une part, lorsque la charge affectant les ressources de communication augmente ou lorsqu'elle dépasse un seuil, on autorise ou on interdit une inactivité aux bornes d'une connexion pendant une courte période avant de libérer la connexion utilisateur. D'autre part, des charges inférieures autorisent (ou interdisent) une période d'inactivité plus longue avant de déconnecter la connexion. Une fois que l'inactivité affectant une connexion qui dépasse le temps déterminé en fonction de la charge, cette connexion peut être transférée à un canal de capacité inférieure, par exemple, un canal commun.

Abstract: The steering wheel measuring scales (200) has a housing (201) that is intended for being placed in a top area (110) of a steering wheel rim (101) and at least first clamping means (203,204), which can be deployed from a bottom area (2018) of the housing with an electric motor in such a way that said means lock with the steering wheel rim. This facilitates considerably the correct insertion of the steering wheel measuring scales in the steering wheel (100), thereby reducing the danger of erroneous slanted clampings. Another embodiment includes means for measuring the deployment time of the first clamping means, means for determining the deployment lengths based on the deployment time and a set value of the deployment speed, means for comparing the deployment lengths with set values and means for signaling in case inadmissible deviations of the deployment lengths from the set values occur. This makes it possible to easily determine whether the first clamping means are mounted slanted in a steering wheel thereby existing the danger of erroneous measurement when determining the angle of the steering wheel. An alternative embodiment includes means for measuring the deployment lengths of the first clamping means. This makes it possible to accurately determine whether the first clamping means are improperly mounted on the steering wheel.

Abstract: A method for deep paging in a communication system employing orthogonal channelizing codes, such as Walsh sequences, of predetermined length m, that does not require a high powered paging channel. The method includes the steps of generating a paging channel message which is combined with a Walsh sequence having a length greater than or equal to 2 m , and transmitting the paging channel message at a data rate of less than 480 bits per second (bps). By transmitting the paging channel message at a low data rate and integrating collected energy over a period longer by a factor on the order of 1000, the message is able to penetrate buildings and other structures or high attenuation environments, thereby allowing one to successfully page a user terminal that is inside such a structure or area. Preferably, the paging channel message is formed using an auxiliary Walsh sequence on the order of 65536 chips in length, and the data rate is less than 10 bps.
