Abstract: The localization of a cancellation cancer detected by a previous diagnosis is carried out in the first stage of a radiation therapy by scanning a part (7) of a body (5) where said cancellation cancer is sited. The scanning is carried out by moving a zone (4) of radiation concentration formed by crossing several roentgen beams. Data on the spissitude of a tissue is received with the aid of detectors (6), to which the secondary radiation produced in the zone (4) of concentration is transferred. In the second stage, scanning with the aid of the same means for creating roentgen beams, which are used in the first stage, is carried out by moving the zone of concentration within the limits of cancellation cancer which are defined in the first stage. X-ray emitters are switched to an increased rate of operation with the aid of a control unit making it possible to perform radiolesion of the cancellation cancer. Various combinations of collimators, roentgen lenses and hemilenses creating a roentgen optical system together with the sources of radiation and detectors are used in order to transmit the X-rays to the zone of concentration, and the secondary radiation to the detectors. A relative motion (10a, 10b) of the roentgen optical system (8) as a its whole and the body of a patient (5) is performed during the scanning. XY sensors (11) recording said motion and the outputs of the detectors (6) are connected outputs to a unit (12) for data processing and display. The inventive method for obtaining information on the spissitude of a biological tissue and the use of the same means for forming roentgen beams in both stages increase the accuracy of measurements and the precision of the radiation effect and decrease the dose of exposure of the healthy tissue.

Title: Failure detection system and failure detection method
Inventor: AZUMA TOMOHIRO
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: In order to detect a failure of an amplifier or a filter of a local signal generating section of a receiver or a synthesizer of a radio communication unit, e.g. a radio base station unit accurately in real time, a local signal used for frequency conversion is inputted to the input of the amplifier or filter, only the local signal component is taken out of the output of the amplifier or filter and detected, and the detected voltage is compared with a failure detection level, thus judging whether the amplifier or filter is normal or not. A failure can be detected more accurately by varying the failure detection level depending on the variation of temperature or local signal frequency (channel frequency).

Title: Method and apparatus for adaptive hybrid vehicle control
Inventor: DROZDZ PIOTR
IPC: B60L50/15
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a hybrid vehicle having an auxiliary power unit, at least one energy storage device, at least one electric drive motor for traction, and a controller with associated memory. The method initially involves the steps of acquiring data for the current vehicle operating state for a variable control interval and storing the vehicle operating state data as measured operating state variables. Simulated vehicle operating state data is generated by inputting the measured vehicle operating state variables into a simulation model running on-board in the controller memory. The simulation model is validated for the control interval by comparing simulated vehicle response data generated by the simulation model with corresponding measured operating state variables. The measured operating state data is analyzed to predict the vehicle operating state for the next control interval, and a control scheme is generated for optimizing energy management of the auxiliary power unit, the at least one energy storage device and the at least one electric drive motor for the predicted operating state by running the simulation model through various iterations and monitoring the simulated vehicle response data to select the optimal control scheme for the next control interval.  Finally, the auxiliary power unit, the at least one energy storage device and the at least one electric drive motor are controlled through the controller according to the optimal control scheme for the next control interval. The control method of the present invention adapts to changing driving conditions and component parameter changes.

Inventor: HUNTER CHARLES ERIC
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: Selon l'invention, des données audio sont transmises par les ondes (par exemple, via une transmission descendante par satellite) vers chaque station utilisateur où des fichiers musicaux sélectionnés sont enregistrés. Les clients effectuent une présélection dans une liste de fichiers musicaux disponibles au moyen d'un sélectionneur sur écran interactif et ne paient que les données audio qu'ils choisissent de lire pour leur plaisir. Une "étiquette d'identification" antipiratage est introduite dans les données audio enregistrées de façon que toute copie illégale de ces données puisse être tracée jusqu'à l'opération d'achat. Ces données audio sont transmises à un horaire fixe ou par un processus de programmation actif qui surveille les demandes de musique en provenance d'un ensemble ou d'un sous-ensemble de récepteurs satellitaires ou qui modifie la programmation en fonction d'une demande de plusieurs CD. Lesdits récepteurs stockent les sélections susceptibles d'être privilégiées par un client spécifique. Dans le cas où les conditions météorologiques, le mouvement des couches atmosphériques ou les obstructions de réflecteur entraînent une perte de données, le système télécharge la transmission suivante du CD demandé et utilise les deux transmissions de manière à produire une "bonne copie". Parallèlement à la transmission par les ondes d'un volume plus important de musique populaire, une installation de fabrication de CD automatisée peut servir à fabriquer des CD plus rarement demandés de façon qu'ils puissent être distribués par transport terrestre.

Title: System and method for control of fuel and air delivery in a burner of a thermal-cycle engine
Inventor: KAMEN DEAN L
IPC: F02G1/044
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A method of combusting fuel and air in a burner of an external combustion engine having a heater head. The fuel and air are combined to form a fuel-air mixture which is characterized by a fuel-air ratio. An exhaust gas product is produced when the fuel-air mixture is combusted in the burner of the external combustion engine. A flame is formed by igniting the fuel-air mixture at a first fuel-air ratio produced by a first air flow rate and a fuel flow rate. The air flow rate is then increased to produce a second fuel-air ratio. The fuel flow rate is also controlled based upon a temperature of the heater head of the external combustion engine.  The flame is maintained at the second fuel-air ratin adjusting the air flow rate based on the fuel flow rate. The external combustion engine may be, for example, a Stirling cycle engine.
