Abstract: A diagnostic system for monitoring catalyst performance in an
exhaust system comprises a plurality of treatment devices (20,30,50,70,80)
catalytically treating an exhaust gas stream, and a plurality of gas sensors
(10,40,60) for monitoring the catalyst performance of the treatment devices
(20,30,50,70,80) to determine when sulfur poisoning occurs. An on-board
diagnostic system receives signals from the gas sensors (10,40,60), and, based
upon response time differentials between sensors (10,40,60), determines
whether the treatment devices (20,30,50,70,80) are experiencing sulfur
poisoning.

Abstract: The output current value of a direct-current power source (1) obtained by low-frequency,
minute modulation of the input voltage of a switching converter (2) is
detected in a circuit (7b) having an amplification factor switching function that switches
the amplification factor between definite magnitudes synchronizing with the modulation,
and by using a signal obtained by demodulating in a discriminator circuit (8) the output
of this circuit synchronizing with the modulation to control the switching converter, the
power point of the switching converter can be tracked to the maximum power point by
following the change in state of the direct current power source.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil system is provided which comprises
an RF coil element comprising a plurality of electrically conductive members
(36) spaced to form a generally tubular structure and defining an imaging
volume. The coil element is adapted to receive a RF signal and apply a
magnetic field to the imaging volume. A signal generator (42) generates the
RF signal, and a power splitter (44) is adapted to distribute the RF signal
across each of the plurality of electrically conductive members (36) in signals
of equal power. A phase shifter (46) receives the split signals from the power
splitter (44) and equally phase shifts each of the split RF signals across each
of the plurality of electrically conductive members (36) such that each
conductor carries the signal at a different phase angle with respect to each
other conductor. An amplifier (38) is coupled to each of the conductors (36)
for independently controlling the current amplitude of the signal carried on
said respective conductor.

transfer agent is required to prepare the low molecular weight PIB/UAR
copolymer. The PIB/UAR copolymer may be useful as is, or as an
intermediate for (1) polysuccinimides, (2) detergents or dispersants for lube oil
or fuels, (3) pour point depressants and (4) surface sizing agents for paper.
The PIB/UAR copolymer may be used by itself or as the ester, amide, imide
or metal salt derivative of the PIB/UAR copolymer. The PIB/UAR copolymer
may be liquid at ambient temperature.

Abstract: A microwave oven having a high voltage control
circuit which prevents an overheating of a high voltage
transformer (HVT). The high voltage control circuit
includes a thermostat (TCO) which is turned on or off
according to a temperature of the high voltage
transformer. The thermostat is disposed between a first
fixed terminal (D) of a tap formed at a primary coil of
the high voltage transformer and a second fixed terminal
(C) connected to a power stage, so as to allow the
primary coil to have different numbers of turns.
According, where the output of a magnetron of the
microwave oven becomes high and the temperature of the
high voltage transformer reaches a predetermined
temperature, the thermostat is turned off, thus enabling
the first and second fixed terminals to be disconnected
from each other. Therefore, the number of turns of the
primary coil of the high voltage transformer is increased
and the voltage supplied to the magnetron is decreased,
thus maintaining the decreased output of the magnetron
and preventing the overheating of the high voltage
transformer.

Title: Recrutement progressif de tissu musculaire/nerveux excitable par utilisation de parametres de stimulation electrique haut debit
Inventor: OVERSTREET EDWARD H
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système neurostimulateur (170) qui stimule un tissu musculaire ou nerveux excitable par l'intermédiaire de multiples électrodes  (E1, E2, ... En) assez rapidement pour induire une décharge neurale stochastique, ce qui permet de restaurer une activité neurale « spontanée ». Le type de stimulation produite par le neurostimulateur implique l'utilisation d'un signal de stimulation pulsatile haut débit, par exemple supérieur à environ 2000 Hz, produit par un générateur d'impulsions haut débit (172). Le flux d'impulsions produit par ce générateur d'impulsions haut débit est modulé en amplitude dans un circuit pilote de sortie (176) à l'aide d'informations de commande fournies par un élément de commande de modulation (178). Une telle modulation pulsatile modulée en amplitude exploite les subtiles différences électrophysiologiques entre des cellules comprenant du tissu excitable, afin de désynchroniser des potentiels d'action au sein de la population de tissu excitable. Une telle désynchronisation induit une distribution plus large des seuils de population et une plus grande plage dynamique électrique, ce qui permet de mieux imiter des caractéristiques de recrutement biologique.
