Abstract: A control system and a method for controlling a pressure medium circuit which is arranged for the rate control and/or the position control of an actuator driven by pressurized medium. The pressure medium circuit comprises a first connection (1) between an input port (P) and a first working port (A), a second connection (2) between an output port (T) and a second working port (B), and valve means (102) for guiding the volume flow of said connections (1, 2), which valve means comprise at least a first set (103) and at least a second set (104) of controllable valves (V1-V4), coupled in parallel, which can be opened and closed, wherein the volume flow of the set (103, 104) is determined as the sum of the capacities of the valves controlled to be opened at a time, and wherein the first set (103) is coupled in series with the first connection (1) and the second set (104) is coupled in series with the second connection (2), and control means (105, 109) for controlling said valve means (102). The method comprises the steps of determining at least some of the discrete rates achieved by said actuator, when valves (V1-V4) of the sets (103, 104) are opened and closed in various combinations, selecting from these combinations at least one which, according to a set optimization criterion, realizes the desired rate at each moment of time, and guiding the valves (V1-V4) of said sets to positions complying with the selected combination.

Abstract: Nanostructured Li4Ti5O12 (spinel) was prepared via a method employing lithium ethoxide and Ti(IV) alkoxides as the starting reagents. The optimized materials contained less than 1% of anatase as the main impurity and, depending on the synthetic conditions, they exhibited the BET surface areas of 5-183 m<2>/g. Trace amount of anatase in Li4Ti5O12 was conveniently determined by cyclic voltammetry of Li-insertion. Thin-film electrodes from nanostructured Li4Ti5O12 spinel exhibit excellent activity towards Li-insertion, even at charging rates as high as 250C. This behavior compares favorably with that of microcrystalline Li4Ti5O12 made by conventional high-temperature solid-state synthesis. A use of this compound in lithium secondary batteries is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disposable packaging, comprising a container that defines a main compartment and at least an additional compartment. The container is bowl-shaped and is closed on the upper side by a film, or by a cover, in order to prevent the main food component contained inside the main compartment from coming out. Moreover, the additional compartment is closed by a slidable sealing system of the cylinder-piston type. In the closure position of the piston, which is formed by a plug, the food component contained in the additional compartment cannot mix with the food component located in the main compartment, whereas in the opening position of the plug, the dressing/seasoning may leak from the additional compartment through lateral apertures of the plug, at the time the user turns over and shakes the packaging.

Abstract: Techniques to combine soft-decision power control symbols received for multiple active base stations. In one method, a received signal is initially processed to derive soft-decision (multi-bit valued) symbols for power control commands transmitted from a number of base stations. Each soft-decision symbol for each base station is then scaled based on a scaling factor associated with the base station and which is related to the received signal quality for the power control symbols for the base station. The scaling allows power control symbols for more reliably received base stations to be given greater weights. The scaled soft-decision symbols for each power control period are then combined to provide a decision metric for the period. Each decision metric is then compared against a particular threshold, and a power control decision is derived for each decision metric based on the result of the comparison.

Abstract: Apparatus and method provide flexibility in generating a stimulation waveform to an electrode of an Implantable Neuro Stimulator (INS). The stimulation waveform is synthesized for each rate period interval. Each rate period interval is partitioned into time intervals, during which stimulation pulses, recharging, and time duration delays may be induced. With the embodiment of the invention, a second stimulation pulse, having different electrical characteristics than a first stimulation pulse, may be generated during the rate period interval. An embodiment utilizes apparatus comprising a waveform controller and a waveform generator that are controlled by the waveform controller. The waveform controller uses waveform parameters to instruct the waveform generator to form stimulation pulses. Any of the components may be adjusted or deleted in the generation of the stimulation waveform. The embodiment enables any of the associated waveform parameters to be updated at the waveform controller in order to alter the stimulation waveform.
