Patent EP-1194907-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIEH SHIUH-AN
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: A passenger detection system is provided. The passenger detection system utilizes an oscillation circuit that causes an antenna electrode to emit an electric field that is disrupted by the electrical characteristics of an object placed on the seat. This disruption alters the current and phase of the signal in the antenna electrode. By comparing the current flowing in the antenna electrode and/or the difference between the phase of the signal in the antenna electrode and the oscillation circuit output signal with predetermined threshold values, it is possible to detect the presence of a passenger in a reliable and inexpensive manner. The determination is made with a two layer electrode arrangement, including smaller and larger electrodes. The two layers allow calculation of an amount of compression on the seat. The amount of compression is used to characterize the passenger.

Patent EP-1297608-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUSHEY BRUCE
IPC: A47L11/40
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A control system for a linear actuator having an electric motor (20) drawing a variable current during operation. The control system includes a current level sensor (38) for determining an operational current level of the linear actuator and a controller for generating a drive signal (42) and a force request signal (44) representative of a desired current level of the linear actuator. The drive signal remains constant during a predetermined time interval of the controller. The control system further includes a current limiting component (34) for receiving the force request signal, the current level of the linear actuator and the drive signal. The current limiting component minimizes the current level of the electric motor in response to a comparison between the force request signal and the desired current level within a time interval substantially smaller than the predetermined time interval of the controller.

Title: Metallocenes utilises comme transducteurs du signal en vue de la detection d'evenements chimiques ou biologiques
Inventor: BAMDAD CYNTHIA C
IPC: G01N27/48
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions, des kits, des procédés et des espèces relatifs à des entités électroactives pouvant servir d'entités de signalisation dans le cadre d'analyses chimiques et/ou biochimiques. Lesdites espèces électroactives peuvent être des métallocènes, notamment des ferrocènes, renfermant des substituants qui ont une incidence sur le potentiel d'oxydoréduction (potentiel rédox) desdites espèces. La régulation du potentiel rédox de ces espèces permet donc d'utiliser plusieurs espèces pour une seule analyse de signalisation simultanée de différents événements de liaison, chaque espèce ayant un potentiel rédox différent. En outre, le procédé selon l'invention permet d'utiliser des espèces dont le potentiel rédox est inférieur à 490mV, ce qui facilite la détection de la signalisation, sur une large plage de potentiels, en présence de fluides biologiques.

Abstract: A method for converting a multimer of human serum albumin into monomers thereof comprises the step of treating the multimer with an alkaline solution. This method permits the efficient and quite simple conversion of human serum albumin multimers into monomers thereof at a low cost. A method for preventing the uncorrected holding of human serum albumin during a process for converting a multimer of human serum albumin into monomers thereof by treating the multimer with an alkaline solution, comprises the step of treating the human serum albumin-containing solution with the alkaline solution in the presence of an SH group-containing compound. This method permits the efficient inhibition of any intra-molecular or inter-molecular uncorrected holding of human serum albumin, which is specifically caused in an oxidative atmosphere during the process for preparing HSA from the plasma or the process for preparing rHSA according to the gene recombination technique. Moreover, the method likewise permits the preparation of high purity human serum albumin having a reduced content of a novel substance, which is formed through the uncorrected holding of human serum albumin and becomes a cause of side effects such as allergy observed when it is administered to a patient.
