Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB88/01024 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 14, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 14, 1989 PCT Filed Nov. 25, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/05002 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 1, 1989.An adaptive H INFINITY  industrial control system has a controller 21 controlling an industrial process 20 (ship, rolling mill, etc.), the state of which is measured (y). The controller and process outputs are fed to a parameter estimator 34 which estimates the operating polynomials (transfer functions or delay operator functions) A, B, and C of the process. A controller design unit 35 processes the output of estimator 34 to produce coefficients for the controller 21, which implements a polynomial ratio Cn/Cd. The H INFINITY  algorithm is based on minimizing a "square of sum" form of function (Pcxu(t)+Fcxe(t))2, which results in equations which are easier to solve than those arising from the usual "sum of squares" form of function. A polynomial L=Pcn Fcd B-Fcn Pcd A is calculated, the unstable zeros L- are calculated, the matrix equations  FAPcd lambda +L- G=Pcn CF*z -n  FBFcd lambda -L- H=FcnCF*z -n are calculated, the extreme eigenvalue extracted, the corresponding eigenvector extracted, and Cn and Cd calculated as GFcd and HPcd for passing to the controller unit 21. Alternately, G and H can be calculated by an iterative convergent procedure. The parameters of Fc and Pc may be adjustable.

Abstract: A switched-mode power supply for a light source whose brightness is controlled, having a rectifier which produces a half-wave rectified voltage at first terminals, having a smoothing circuit which produces a smoothed DC voltage at second terminals, having two push-pull semiconductor switches, associated with a high-frequency generator, whose control inputs are each coupled to a transformer winding, and having a first switching element, which is coupled to the DC voltage input and is voltage-dependent, for triggering a semiconductor switch. The technical problem is producing a switched-mode power supply which permits brightness control by controlling the high-frequency generator without the high switching loads of phase chopping. A control input is fed via a first switching stage (81). A capacitor (44) with an adjustable load resistor (46) is connected to the second terminals (54, 55) of the DC voltage. The charging voltage of the capacitor (44) is applied to the input of a second switching stage (43) whose output switches off the first switching stage (81) and the voltage-dependent first switching element (15). A zero-voltage identifying circuit (56) is connected to the first terminals (5, 6) of the half-wave rectified voltage. The output of the zero-voltage identifying circuit (56) controls a discharge stage (57) for the charging capacitor (44). <IMAGE>

Title: Treatment of metal slabs
IPC: B21B15/00
Filed: 1989-08-24
Granted: 1993-08-11
Abstract: A method of treating hot metal slabs (6) aims to reduce the width of the slab (6) produced by a continuous casting process to avoid the need for the prolific number of moulds otherwise required to produce slabs of various widths. In order to achieve this the hot metal slab (6) is presented, with its width dimension vertically oriented, to a pressing machine (24) having a vertically movable top platen (26) and a fixed bottom platen (28). The slab (6) is incrementally displaced, longitudinally, through the pressing machine and pressing forces are applied to its opposing edges by the platens, to reduce its width. Subsequently, the slab (6) is turned so that its width dimension is oriented horizontally and rolled between the horizontal rolls of a rolling mill (22). An apparatus for performing the method is disclosed.

Abstract: A jar mechanism is described, which comprises a piston (5) movably mounted in a fluid chamber (9). A jar member (2) is releasably coupled to the piston (5) by a release device (3, 4; 3, 38, 39, 40, 54, 64) so that when the piston (5) is in a first position in the fluid chamber (9), the jar member (2) is coupled to the piston (5) by the release device (3, 4; 3, 38, 39, 40, 54, 64). A first force exerted on the jar member (2) moves the piston (5) to a second position within the fluid chamber (9) against the resistance of the fluid (11). When the piston (5) is in the second position, the action of the first force applied to the jar member (2) actuates the release device (3, 4; 3, 38, 39, 40, 54, 64) to enable the jar member (2) to be uncoupled from the piston (5).

Title: Laser pulse transmitter for a weapon

IPC: F41A33/02

Granted: 1994-12-28
Abstract: The holding housing (1) of the laser pulse transmitter has essentially the shape and size of the cartridge suitable for a weapon and can be inserted instead of this into the barrel or the cartridge bearing of a weapon. The holding housing (1) contains a sleeve (2) which is closed at both ends by means of holders (4,6). A laser collimator (28) is arranged at the front end and a switch (8) designed as piezoceramic (10) is arranged at the rear end. A printed circuitboard (34) is provided in the chamber (32) formed between the holders (4,6), a current source (36) being present on one side and a driver circuit (38) on the other side. Since the piezoceramic (10) serves only as a switch (8) and batteries (36) are provided as a current source, on the one hand a very small design and on the other hand a low striking force of the striking pin are possible. The laser pulse transmitter can thus also be designed for small-calibre weapons. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a body-felt sound unit having a vibration transmitting member (2) imbedded in a human body support member (8), for example, a chair, a bed, etc., and an electro-mechanical vibration transducer (4) attached to the vibration transmitting member (2), the transducer (4) generating mechanical vibration on receipt of a low-frequency current, thereby transmitting the vibration to the human body (9). The vibration transmitting member (2) comprises a flat plate- or net-shaped member (3) of a relatively large area, and the electro-mechanical vibration transducer (4) is attached to the vibration transmitting member (2) such that the direction of vibration generated from the transducer (4) coincides with the direction of the width of the vibration transmitting member (2) so as to transmit transverse vibration to the vibration transmitting member (2). Even if the vibration transmitting member (2) is thin, the apparent rigidity becomes high, so that the transmission of vibration is effectively made. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1996-09-04
Abstract: A rapid, simple and inexpensive method to screen and classify proteins as partners of heterodimeric proteins is described which utilizes fusion protein constructs containing a DNA binding domain and a dimerization domain from a different protein. According to the method of the invention, heterodimer formation is detected by the ability of the protein partner to displace homodimer formation, and thus reveal a phenotypic change in a bacterial host which was dependent upon maintenance of the homodimer configuration. The method of the invention may be used to identify compounds of interest which inhibit such heterodimer formation, and especially to identify compounds which prevent heterodimer formation and activation of oncogenic transcriptional regulatory proteins.
