Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the thickness and formation rate of a layer of ice on components, in particular on aircraft components. According to the invention, the radiation which falls on a surface covered with an ice layer and/or a disruptive layer (1) is spectrally split by a holographic optical diffraction grating (6), connected to a line-scanning receiver (7). By comparing the measured radiation with a stored reflection curve of a surface without any deposit and by linking the comparison values and the determination of the peak surface in the wavelength range of the ice absorption, a correction to said ice absorption is obtained and the thickness and formation rate of the ice and/or disruptive layer (1) is determined and displayed. The device provides a window (3) in the surface which is covered by an ice and/or disruptive layer (1). Radiation passes through said window by means of an optical representation system (4) and an entry gap (5) and falls onto a holographic optical diffraction grating (6), where it is split according to wavelength, represented in a line-scanning receiver (7) and evaluated, using a control and evaluation unit (8). The evaluation data is displayed on a display (9).

Abstract: A saw blade positioning device has two drive mechanisms and two guidance devices, which are preferably oriented at right angles in respect to each other. If a first guidance device is oriented in the radial direction of the circular saw blade by the linear guides, and the other guidance device in the circumferential direction, a desired advancement curve of the engagement member, independently of the saw blade diameter, is achieved respectively by means of the same control, or respectively the same control pulses, and of the drive mechanisms, in every radial position of the first guidance device. A mechanically robust basic structure results in addition, which makes a precise positioning possible.

Abstract: A method for improving oxygenation in subjects having essencially healthy lungs, as evidenced by the absence of a diagnosis of lung disease or injury, but having reduced alveolar gas exchange area. This reduction may be caused by such acute circumstances as an unnatural body position, or may be, for example, chronic as caused by obesity. The method employs the administration of nitric oxide (NO) into the breathing gases of such subjects. NO provided to alveoli collapsing during expiration is small compared to those remaining open, thereby to provide net reduction in the shunt and thus an oxygenation improvement. This result may be gained either by precise control of the inspired NO concentration or by pulsed administration of the NO.

Abstract: A circuit and method are disclosed for biasing a power transistor to offset unwanted variations in the operating characteristics thereof. The circuit includes a correction transistor having the same device structure as the structure of the power transistor. In addition, one or more dimensions of the correction transistor is scaled relative to corresponding dimensions of the power transistor. The correction transistor is biased so that the ratio of drain currents of the correction transistor and the power transistor is the same as the size ratio thereof. In this way, the output signal of the correction transistor is based upon an unwanted variation in the operating characteristics of the power transistor. The output terminal of the correction transistor is amplified and coupled to the control terminal of the power transistor so that the bias signal applied to the control terminal thereof offsets the unwanted variation in the operating characteristics of the power transistor.

In one embodiment, a list of modules and corresponding start times, end times and durations is provided. Minimum beginning times and maximum beginning times are determined for each of the modules. The modules in the list are prioritized, first according to minimum beginning times and then according to maximum beginning times. A module having the earliest maximum beginning time is selected from those modules for which the minimum beginning time is equal or prior to a current time. A portion of the selected module is scheduled. After a portion of a module is scheduled, the information in the module list is updated, the modules in the list are re-prioritized, and another module is selected for scheduling. This is repeated until all of the modules have been scheduled.
