Title: Methods for diagnosis and prognosis of graft versus host disease by measurement of peripheral cd3+cd4+cd8.beta.+ cells
Inventor: SMITH CLAYTON
IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 2007-03-12
Abstract: Acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) is one of the most significant clinic al problems in allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation. Currently, there is no unequivocal diagnostic test for GvHD until the disease is well developed and can be recognized histologically. The invention provides a blood based test for diagnosis and/or prognosis of GvHD, allowing assessment of risk for developing GvHD prior to appearance of clinical symptoms. Using flow cytometry, peripheral blood mononuclear cells are assessed for an increase i n proportion and fluctuation of CD3+CD4+CD8~+ cells. An increase in presence o r proportion, or high fluctuation in this cell population prior to onset of clinically recognized indicators of GvHD is predictive of later development of GvHD.

Title: Motor driving system and controlling method of the same
Inventor: OYANAGI HIROYUKI
IPC: H02P5/74
Filed: 2006-08-10
Abstract: A plurality of current sensors (41,42,51,52,61,62) are provided which are associated with a plurality of inverter circuits (40,50,60) that drive a plurality of motor generators (MG1,MG2,MGR), respectively. The zero adjustment of each current sensor is executed, during a nonconductive state that is identified by a halt of operation of the associated inverter circuit, if it is determined that noise affection is small due to the halt of operation of the other inverter circuits in the same casing (105). As a result, this can avoid a risk of performing a zero adjustment during a state in which the output of a current sensor exhibits no correct value corresponding to the zero current due to the noise affection by other inverter circuits. In this way, the zero adjustment of each current sensor for measuring a motor drive current can be implemented with high precision.

Abstract: A wind turbine tower load control method. The pitch of the rotor blades is controlled in a conventional manner by a collective command component. An estimator estimates the tower resonant acceleration and the thrice-per-revolution blade imbalance acceleration. Combining logic, connected to the estimated resonant acceleration and to the estimated thrice-per-revolution (3P) acceleration provides a combined pitch modulation to damp the tower resonant motion and the thrice-per-revolution motion using collective modulation. Said pitch modulation is combined with the collective command component to drive the pitch actuators.
