Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de localisation et de suivi à étalement de spectre, selon lequel le véhicule (10) ou l'objet à localiser émet un signal radio continuel à étalement de spectre en séquence directe (11). Cette émission est reçue au niveau de plusieurs stations de réception (12) bien espacées dans la zone de couverture, et les différences entre les temps d'arrivée des signaux au niveau de ces récepteurs sont mesurées par détermination de l'époque correspondant au pic du corrélogramme. Les fréquences porteuses f1, f2, f3 des émissions d'émetteur reçues à un site de réception (12) sont calculées et les erreurs de fréquence, exception faite des erreurs de fréquence liées à un mouvement relative entre l'émetteur et un site de réception spécifique, sont considérées par tous les sites de réception comme étant un décalage commun, et peuvent par conséquent être supprimées au moyen d'un traitement adéquat, ce qui permet de calculer le vecteur vitesse d'un émetteur en déplacement à partir d'un ensemble unique de mesures en trois sites distants ou plus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for the recovery of an organic acid, such as a heat stable lactic acid, from a feed stream which contains at least one of an organic acid amide, an organic acid ammonium salt, or an alkylamine-organic acid complex. The feed stream is mixed with at least one azeotroping agent. The azeotroping agent is a hydrocarbon capable of forming at least one azeotrope with the organic acid that is produced by the thermal decomposition of the amide, ammonium salt, or complex in the feed stream. Preferably the azeotrope is a heteroazeotrope. The mixture of the feed stream and the azeotroping agent is heated to produce a vapor stream. The azeotrope is a component of the vapor stream. The vapor stream can be condensed to a liquid stream, and the organic acid is recovered in the liquid stream that is produced. When the azeotrope is a heteroazeotrope, the vapor stream can be condensed into a liquid stream, which can be separated into a first phase and a second phase. The first phase contains the highest concentration of organic acid and the second phase contains azeotroping agent. The organic acid can be further purified and/or concentrated from the separated first phase or from the liquid stream.

Abstract: When a transmission station having a voluntary
transmission right transmits FINALL FRAME as a TXOP
ending frame to HC, the HC transmits an acknowledgement
frame ACK after SIFS following the reception of FINAL FRAME.
Here, when the transmitting station has detected that no
frame transmission is performed over the communication
network from any other ESTAs in PIFS after the transmission
of FINAL FRAME, FINAL FRAME is retransmitted in DIFS after
the transmission of FINAL FRAME. By performing such a
communication management, it is possible to accurately
manage a voluntary transmission right even when the
communication medium has a low reliability in a network in
which one network pathway is time-shared by a plurality of
communication apparatuses.

Abstract: A method of boundary auto-calibration for proportional poppet valve pressure control comprises implementing an estimator to estimate a boundary deviation of the valve. A pressure command signal is detected  and its derivative over time is obtained. Then, determining which closing boundary should be updated is decided based on the sign of the pressure command derivative. A pressure error is obtained by subtracting an actual wheel brake pressure from its pressure command. Then a modified pressure error is calculated and implemented in the estimation. Finally, a boundary table is updated using the resultant boundary deviation estimate. An alternate embodiment implementing a fast boundary auto-calibration scheme includes a quasi-closed-loop pressure control system. The auto-calibration test is preferably set up so that the test only needs one cycle of pressure upward sweep and pressure downward sweep in order to cover the entire operating range of pressures for the valves.
