Abstract: A voltage-controlled current source provides operation as either a differential current source for a floating load, or operation as a grounded current source when one end of the load is grounded. Switching between operation as a differential current source and operation as a grounded current source is automatic, and will accommodate significant lead resistance between the source and the load. Additionally, in absence of a grounded load the circuit can provide active common mode reduction using active feedback to reduce common mode voltage on the load.

Abstract: A spiral wound membrane module (100) comprises a spiral wound
membrane element (1) including a separation membrane having high
back pressure strength. In filtration running, raw water
introduced from a raw water inlet (13) of a pressure vessel (10) is
subjected to dead end filtration, and permeate is taken out
from a permeate outlet (14). In washing, wash water containing a
chemical having a contaminant separating function is
introduced from an end of a water collection pipe (5) through the
permeate outlet (14) for performing back wash reverse filtration
with a back pressure of 0.05 to 0.3MPa. The filtration running
is temporarily stopped for maintaining the pressure vessel in
a state sealed with the raw water and the permeate for a
prescribed time. Thus, contaminants adhering to the membrane
surface of the spiral wound membrane element (1) are separated.
A treatment system is formed by connecting units comprising
spiral wound membrane modules (100) in parallel with each other. In
the treatment system, one of the units is subjected to
filtration running when another one of the units is washed.
In washing, back wash reverse filtration and chemical soaking
are performed.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the control parameters for an in-and-out-of-synchronization detection algorithm ( 102 ) for a radio link set (set of combined radio links) are derived by a function ( 106 ) from the corresponding cell-based parameters. There are various modes of the method on how the control parameters for the in-and-out-of-synchronization detection algorithm for a radio link set (set of combined radio links) can be derived from the corresponding cell based parameters. For example, it could either be done dynamically, i.e. when a radio link is either added to or removed from a radio link set, or semi-statically, i.e. whenever the control parameters are changed for any cell in a base station, or in a combination of the dynamic and semi-static ways.

Abstract: The present invention is a scan test chain intermediate debugging system and method that facilitates simplified debugging of internal component scan test results with minimal impacts to normal operations and manufacturing processes. The scan test chain intermediate debugging system and method of the present invention enhances internal scan test analysis on internal scan test chains included in digital circuits and is compatible with scan test methodologies. One embodiment of the present invention includes a scan test chain intermediate debugging system including a test vector debugging control circuit (e.g., a multiplexer), a supplemental scan test output port and an intermediate control signal port. The test vector debugging control circuit selectively provides a communication path from an indicated intermediate scan test chain signal to the supplemental scan test output port. The intermediate scan test signal is a measurement or logical value captured from an intermediate point in the scan test chain. The intermediate control signal port provides a communication path for a control signal that directs the test vector debugging control circuit which intermediate scan test signal to transmit to the supplemental scan test output port. The supplemental scan test output port operates to transmit intermediate scan test signals off of the IC. By selectively transmitting one of the intermediate scan test chain signals off of the IC, the scan test chain intermediate debugging system and method facilitates greater granularity of test vector results and assists scan test analysis including debugging indications of faults.

Title: Wheel cap for a vehicle wheel
Inventor: HARTL ROBERT
IPC: B60B7/00
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a wheel cap for a vehicle wheel comprising a retaining device that is activated by laterally pressing the suitably positioned wheel cap against the wheel, thereby fixing the wheel cap on the wheel body. The retaining device is deactivated when the wheel cap is again pressed in the same direction so that the wheel cap can be easily removed from the wheel body. Preferred elements of the retaining device are a gate and a locking pin that is guided therein when the wheel cap is mounted. Said locking pin is guided in the gate with its free end when the wheel cap is placed on the wheel body in such a way that it reaches a lock-in position in the gate when the wheel cap is first pressed against the wheel. When the wheel cap is again pressed against the wheel, the locking pin is guided from the lock-in position into a gate section via which it can be removed from the gate. Preferably, the wheel cap is pressed against the wheel body against a spring force. While the locking pin is fastened on the wheel cap, said fastening and/or the locking pin itself being at least slightly flexible, the gate is provided in a wheel hub insert which can be inserted in the wheel body.

Abstract: The use of refractive optical elements to reduce or eliminate unwanted
wavelength components from a laser emission. The method and apparatus
described herein introduces modifications to the parallelism of one or more

polarizing optical components, and extra-cavity beamsplitter to accomplish
separation of wavelength components without the introduction of additional
optical components or reduction in the operating capacity of the laser. Additional
optical components can be used to accomplish further separation of the
wavelength components after the laser beam leaves the laser resonator.

Abstract: In a paper-making process the varying topographic definition of a felt water absorption belt (12) is monitored by an optical sensor (14). The image resulting is compared by a computer (16) with historic data and especially corrective action taken which is commensurate with the felt condition. An Independent claim is given for an assembly (10) which monitors the condition of a felt web (12) used in the manufacture of paper or carton. The optical sensor captures an image which is at the normal, and/or is oblique with respect to the felt surface. The captured image is temporarily stored and deleted after comparison to the historic reference images. The felt condition is monitored either continually or intermittently in an online process. The optical sensor is a full-image camera in association with high-power flash directed at a fast-moving felt web. When poor felt web condition is detected, the rectification action includes the application of a pipe vacuum and jets.

the invention, a mobile telephone is used to establish a connection with a proxy
server. The mobile telephone is then used to establish a second connection with

connection is a secure end-to-end connection which may be achieved by either
tunneling through the proxy server or by bypassing it entirely. The second
connection is used to send a secure request for hypermedia information to the
network server. If it is determined that, in order to service the request, additional
information is required, then the mobile telephone is notified and a service
capable of providing the additional information is accessed remotely in the proxy
server by sending a communication to the proxy server via the first connection.

Abstract: Flow cell system for high throughput solubility testing of compounds. The system includes
a flow cell to channel a fluid sheath which itself channels a continuous or intermittent sample
liquid stream containing a compound for testing. Where the concentration of compound in the
sample exceeds the solubility limit, particles of the test compound precipitate. These particles
scatter the light from an interrogating light beam directed at the sample liquid stream. Individual
flashes of scattered light are detected as electronic pulse signals from the detector and their
intensity analyzed according to intensity and number of events. System software analyzes the
stored pulse signal data in real-time to determine whether there is a significant increase in
scattering over the highly variable background scattering. The software then outputs a signal to
effectuate selection of a subsequent sample.
