Patent NO-961960-D0 (NO)
Inventor: ENDRIKAT CHRISTIAN
IPC: B60L9/00
Filed: 1996-05-14
Abstract: A process is disclosed for regulating a four-quadrant regulator (1) that works as a mains power converter. The output of the four-quadrant regulator (1) feeds three-phase current drives through a direct voltage intermediate circuit (5) and a pulse-controlled inverter (6) and its input is connected to an alternating voltage network (4), preferably through a multiple winding transformer (2). The alternating voltage network (4) has secondary windings (8, 9) for the four-quadrant regulator (1) and additional consumers, for example auxiliary frequency converters (10) and a noise limiter set (3). This process is particularly suitable for catenary-powered three-phase locomotives. In order to actively and adequately limit with a simple process both 100 Hz parasitic currents and other low-frequency parasitic currents in the signalling frequency range, in particular 42 Hz parasitic currents, the current regulation carried out by the four-quadrant regulator (1) is supplemented by a parasitic current regulation (16) tuned to a current harmonic to be reduced in the power line current (if). The current harmonic is periodically sensed and appropriately decomposed into active and reactive components, for example into two orthogonal components or into components with different intensities and angles, that are in turn supplied to two separate parasitic current regulating circuits (16) that are set to maintain defined set values (wa3f, wb3f), preferably equal to zero, and whose output supplies set values (wa3, wb3) for the current harmonic components to be regulated by the four-quadrant regulator (1).

Title: Overhead message update with decentralized control
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An arrangement for communicating overhead messages in a wireless communication system providing access to a decentralised network, which achieves bandwidth savings as well as minimising power consumption. In one embodiment, a wireless base station which is connected to a decentralised network transmits a sequence of signatures for overhead messages to a mobile unit. The mobile unit wakes up, receives the signatures and compares them to signatures stored at the mobile unit. If the signatures received by the mobile unit are different from the signatures stored at the mobile unit, the mobile unit stays awake to receive the overhead messages to be transmitted by the wireless base station. If the signatures received by the mobile unit are the same as the signatures stored at the mobile unit, the mobile unit may go back to sleep. Alternatively (figure 5) the mobile station may create a signature upon receiving a data signal, compare the signature to a previous signature, and only update the operating parameters of the mobile if the signatures are different.

Patent GB-9109063-D0 (GB)
Title: Modification of lignin synthesis in plants
IPC: C12N15/53
Filed: 1991-04-26
Abstract: The synthesis of lignin by plants is controlled by transformation of the plant genome with a recombinant gene construct which contains the gene specifying an enzyme critical to the synthesis of a lignin precursor, which gene may be in antisense orientation so that it is transcribed to mRNA having a sequence complementary to the equivalent mRNA transcribed from the endogenous gene thus leading to suppression of lignin synthesis. If the recombinant gene has the lignin enzyme gene in normal, or "sense" orientation, increased production of the enzyme may occur when the insert is the full length DNA but suppression may occur if only a partial sequence is employed.
