Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de syntonisation et de commande de pièces à main à ultrasons par introduction d'un signal à large spectre sous forme d'au moins une composante du signal utilisé pour commander la pièce à main. On mesure la réponse de la pièce à main à ce signal à large spectre et on ajuste la fréquence ou l'amplitude du signal de commande, ou les deux, afin de maintenir un niveau voulu de performance de la pièce à main. Grâce au fonctionnement des systèmes et à la performance des procédés, on peut actionner la pièce à main plus efficacement dans une plage de charges mécaniques et de conditions thermiques plus large qu'il n'était jusqu'ici possible en utilisant les systèmes et procédés de commande antérieurs.

The method for registering, analyzing and validating the hand-written personal signature requires that the signature be written in an x, y plane with a writing instrument which has a multiaxis movement detector at its end. The multiaxis movement detector detects the movement of said writing device as a function of time and with six degrees of freedom. The six degrees of freedom given by a linear movement along an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, respectively, as well as by rotation about said x-axis, said y-axis and said z-axis, respectively. The six degrees of freedom of the writing instrument are recorded in predetermined formats in a database.

Abstract: A CMOS output circuit including a differential error amplifier (3) is operated to provide a stable quiescent bias current in an output MOSFET by causing a first current equal to a threshold voltage of a P-channel reference MOSFET (M1) divided by the resistance of a reference resistor (R1) to flow through an N-channel current mirror control MOSFET (M4). A first N-channel current mirror output MOSFET (M6) having a gate coupled to the gate of the N-channel current mirror control MOSFET (M4) and a drain coupled to a drain of the P-channel reference MOSFET (M1) causes a second current proportional to the first current to flow through the P-channel reference MOSFET (M1). The first current is controlled in response to feedback from the P-channel reference MOSFET (M1). A bias current in an error amplifier (3) is controlled in response to the N-channel current mirror control MOSFET (M4). The bias current in the error amplifier and the resistances of first (R2) and second (R3) resistive load devices of the error amplifier are scaled to produce a drive voltage which applies a gate-to-source quiescent bias voltage to a P-channel pull-up MOSFET (M11) which is substantially equal to and tracks with the gate-to-source voltage of the reference MOSFET (M1).

Abstract: A medium attachment unit (MAU) is provided with a combined function override and status indication for a link test feature. A link integrity status feature is employed by MAU's to establish that the network is operational. The link test is performed by supplying test pulses over the network. Older devices which do not supply the necessary test pulses can cause newer devices to artificially detect a failure since they do not receive the test pulses.The MAU disclosed herein is provided with a means for disabling the internal link test receive function while allowing transmit and receive functions of the MAU to remain operational. Idle link pulses are still generated irrespective of whether or not the test receive function is disabled. In one example, a pin on an IC package may be held at a particular level to activate the disable function. When the disable function is not active, the same pin may be used to drive an LED device for indicating the operational status of the apparatus.

Abstract: A system for regulating the output voltage of a generator (10)
driven by a motor vehicle engine (13), comprising a semiconductor switch
(48) connected in series with the field winding (12) of the generator for
on-off control of excitation thereof, and a comparator (52) for comparing a
sensed generator voltage ( Va ) with a reference voltage ( Vr ), 
     During steady-state operation, when the sensed generator voltage
( Va ) develops higher than the reference voltage ( Vr ) during each prescribed
period of time, the switch (48) is biased on and off by a first
duration modulated pulse signal formed from the comparator output signal
( S   1 ). In the event of an abrupt rise in energy requirement from the
electrical loads (37) of the vehicle, when the sensed generator voltage
( Va ) does not grow higher than the reference voltage ( Vr ) within the
preset time, a second duration modulated pulse signal ( S   4 ) is applied to
the switch in order to make progressively longer the excitation periods of
the generator field winding and hence to prevent a sudden increase in
torque demand from the generator to the engine. The second duration
modulated pulse signal is created by a digital integrated circuit (56) comprising
two down counters (69, 70).

Abstract: The method involves measuring the current currently being fed into a network (5) and determining its apparent, effective and reactive components. The wind power system (2) is connected via a three-phase controller and the current fed into the network is regulated to a predefined demand value. Capacitors (10) are switched in steps to compensate for reactive power. The three-phase controller (7) or a bypass circuit (9) are switched through via a trip (8) as soon as the supplied current no longer requires limiting following the synchronous speed of the generator (3) being exceeded. After the maximum demanded current is again exceeded, a switching device (12) is connected in regulated manner to regulate the current fed into the network.

Abstract: A system for verifying ownership of articles
is based on attributing a unique article number and an
ownership certificate to each article. The ownership certificate
carries an individual certification number different
from the article number. A central computer (6)
with a storage (7) contains a list of matching pairs of
article and certification numbers. The system can be queried
by entering both, the article and certification numbers.
The system then returns if the two numbers match or
if the do not match. The system provides no means for retrieving
a certification number from a article number or
vice versa but requires that both numbers are entered for
a query. This makes it impossible to forge an ownership
certificate from a given article or an article number
from a given certificate.

Abstract: According to the present invention, one or more
addresses are forced to a logic state to define a smaller,
fully functional portion of embedded memory. A first
preferred embodiment has a first fuse circuit and a second
fuse circuit which control the conduction and the output
signal of a transmission gate which passes through an
address signal. The output signal of both the first and
the second fuse circuits are input signals to logic
circuitry which produces a first input signal and a second
input signal to the transmission gate. When the first fuse
is blown, the address signal is forced to a first logic
state and when the second fuse is blown, the address signal
is forced to a second logic state. When neither the first
fuse nor the second fuse is blown, the address signal is
simply passed through the transmission gate. 
     A second preferred embodiment of the present invention
has a first fuse circuit, a second fuse circuit, and an
inverting stage through which an address signal passes.
When the first fuse is blown, the address signal is forced
to a first logic state and when the second fuse is blown,
the address signal is forced to a second logic state. When
neither the first fuse nor the second fuse is blown, the
address signal is inverted.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved method for allergy diagnostics,
particularly for food allergy diagnostics, characterized in that IgE antibodies
obtained from an individual are exposed to an agent that renders the IgE
antibodies substantially incapable of reacting with a saccharidic epitope of an
antigen of said antigenic material; and/or to a protease-digested portion of
said antigenic material; and to a native, i.e., non-digested portion of said
antigenic material; whereupon the formation of IgE/antigen-complexes is
detected and evaluated with regard to the determination of unreacted
antigens and/or of clinically relevant IgE/antigen complexes in which the IgE
antibody is bound to an essentially peptidic epitope of an antigen. 
The present invention also relates to a diagnostic kit for use in one or more
of the aforementioned methods, particularly for food allergy diagnostics  in
vitro  or  in vivo   
And to a method for determining an allergic response of an individual to an
orally or nasally ingestible antigenic material by means of an improved skin
