Patent EP-1543328-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SU XING
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: The present methods and apparatus concern the detection and/or identification of target analytes using probe molecules. In various embodiments of the invention, the probes or analytes are attached to one or more cantilevers. Binding of a probe to an analyte results in deflection of the cantilever, detected by a detection unit. A counterbalancing force may be applied to restore the cantilever to its original position. The counterbalancing force may be magnetic, electrical or radiative. The detection unit and the mechanism generating the counterbalancing force may be operably coupled to an information processing and control unit, such as a computer. The computer may regulate a feedback loop that maintains the cantilever in a fixed position by balancing the deflecting force and the counterbalancing force. The concentration of analytes in a sample may be determined from the magnitude of the counterbalancing force required to maintain the cantilever in a fixed position.

Inventor: NAGAI JUN
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 2004-06-09
Abstract: A switching electric source device includes a first synchronous rectifier control circuit,
which detects the resonance state developed based on the exciting energy of the primary winding
after the main switching element switches off, and causes a first synchronous rectifier to switch
on earlier during the time period from the completion of the resonance state to the switching on
of the main switching element. Thus, the first synchronous rectifier switches on during the time
period, and thus, current is prevented from flowing through a body diode, so that a voltage
caused by the voltage drop in the body diode is prevented from being induced in the secondary
winding and the third winding. As a result, variations in the output voltage, which is caused by
the induced voltage of the third winding, can be prevented. The output voltage can be stabilized.

Abstract: A Hard Disk Recorder (HDR) (3) is arranged to receive signals
defining television programmes and television programme schedule data. The HDR
receives updated programme schedule data substantially constantly in a dedicated
programme schedule data channel. The HDR is arranged to output the programme
schedule data for display on a television screen (2). The HDR comprises a hard disk
(16) for recording received television programmes. A remote control (28) is provided
to select television programmes to be recorded from the displayed programme
schedule. Furthermore, the HDR is arranged to receive additional programme
schedule information included in each of the received television channels which
information is used to control the hard disk to record pre-programmed television
programmes according to schedule. The hard disk is operable to record
simultaneously two different television programmes received in different channels.
Also, the HDR is operable to replay a currently broadcast programme offset in time.
The time offset can be overcome by playing back the part of the programme inside the
time offset at an increased frame rate. Furthermore, the HDR is arranged to receive
transition signals indicating transitions between parts of programmes, such as
transitions between advertisements and the "actual" programmes. The HDR is
operable to use these transition signals, for example, to skip between transitions in
previously recorded programmes replayed from the hard disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for designing a technical system, wherein the technical system comprises a target function (f(x)) which depends on at least one parameter (x) in a variable chamber. The objective function values are determined in an iterative manner in several calculation steps.  Development of a stochastic variable, which is dependent on the target function (f(x)) and is based on a stochastic differential equation, is calculated in each calculation step. The development of the stochastic variable depends on a step size (s(x)) which is selected in such a manner that the development converges with an increasing number of calculation steps adjacent to a stationary stochastic distribution.  After a number of calculation steps have been performed, a local optimisation method which is used to determine optimum criteria of an optimal target function value.  One of the target function values determined according to the number of performed calculation steps is used as a start word of the local optimisation method.  The optimal objective function value determined by the local optimisation method and the associated parameters are used to design the technical system.
