Patent EP-1073176-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CANTER STANLEY
IPC: B64G1/44
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: A battery charging system (10) permits the charging of a battery (27) without the use of power conditioners or dedicated charging arrays. Primary and secondary solar array strings (11,21) are coupled by way of a shunt regulator circuit (14) to a power bus (16), such as a power bus of the spacecraft. A shunt regulator circuit (14) is coupled to the secondary solar array string (21) and to the power bus (16). Charge control relays (25) are coupled between the secondary solar array string (21) and the battery (27). A computer (29) is coupled to the shunt regulator circuit (14) and to the charge control relays (25). Current from the secondary solar array string (21) is used to charge the battery (27) when the charge control relays (25) are closed. If the computer (29) determines that the battery (27) is fully charged, the charge control relays (25) are commanded open and current flows to the power bus (16) unless shunted by the shunt regulator circuit (14). Fine control over the battery charge is achieved by adjusting the charging time and the number of circuits of the secondary solar array string (21) that are connected to the battery.

Abstract: A printer host comprising a list-forming unit for
forming a band-corresponded drawing command list showing
correspondence of respective drawing commands to a band or bands
referring to a spool file stored in a hard disk device; a drawing
command storage control unit which successively reads out the
drawing commands corresponding to the respective bands from the
spool file stored in the hard disk device according to the
band-corresponded drawing command list, and stores the drawing
command of one band that is read out in the drawing command
memory; and an image data expanding unit which converts the
drawing command of one band stored in the drawing command memory
into image data and expands the image data in the band memory.
This constitution makes it possible to decrease the number of
drawing commands stored in the memory in the host.

Abstract: Apparatus for safely installing and removing spring loaded failsafe valve actuators.
The apparatus includes a frame (20) that retains a compression spring (45) in a loaded condition
between a cover plate (50) fastened to the top wall (22) of the frame and a spring seat (35) slidably
contained inside the frame. The spring seat is attached to the valve stem (17) for moving
reciprocally therewith between a closed and an open position. The stem is connected to the
extendable rod of a remotely controlled actuator (60) that is mounted in the cover plate and
arranged to move the stem between the closed and open positions. In the event the actuator
fails while the valve is in an open position, the compressed failsafe spring is released to
rapidly close the valve.

Abstract: There is provided a MQB layer as a multi-quantum barrier
portion composed of well layers and barrier layers that are formed
of extremely thin films having different compositions and
alternately stacked. This enhances an effective barrier height
by using the phenomenon that holes likely to flow from a SiGe base
layer to a Si emitter layer are reflected by the MQB layer and
thereby suppresses the reverse injection of the holes from the
SiGe base layer into the Si emitter layer. As a result, the
reverse injection of carriers is suppressed by the MQB layer even
when the base doping concentration is increased, which provides
a satisfactory current amplification factor and increases a
maximum oscillation frequency. What results is a bipolar
transistor having excellent RF characteristics such as current
amplification factor, current gain cutoff frequency, and maximum
oscillation frequency in a microwave band or the like.

Abstract: Cells are genetically modified to express a luminophore, e.g., a modified (F64L, S65T,
Y66H) Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP,EGFP) coupled to a component of an intracellular
signalling pathway such as a transcription factor, a cGMP- or cAMP-dependent protein
kinase, a cyclin-, calmodulin- or phospholipid-dependent or mitogen-activated serine/threonin
protein kinase, a tyrosine protein kinase, or a protein phosphatase (e.g. PKA,
PKC, Erk, Smad, VASP, actin, p38, Jnk1, PKG, IkappB, CDK2, Grk5, Zap70, p85, protein-tyrosine
phosphatase 1C, stat5, NFAT, NFkappaB, RhoA, PKB). An influence modulates
the intracellular signaling pathway in such a way that the luminophore is being redistributed
or translocated with the component in living cells in a manner experimentally determined
to be correlated to the degree of influence. Measurement of redistribution is performed
by recording of light intensity, fluorescense lifetime, polarization, wavelength shift,
resonance energy transfer, or other properties by an apparatus consisting of e.g. a fluorescence
microscope and a CCD camera. Data stored as digital images are processed to
numbers representing the degree of redistribution. The method can be used as a screening
program for identifying a compound that modulates a component and is capable of
treating a disease related to the function of the component.

Abstract: A plasma source comprises a thermionic emitter material (2) heated by an induction coil
(7), which also provides radiofrequency energy within an electrically insulated cylindrical
former (1). A cylindrical anode (10) is concentric with the emitter (2) and axially
displaced therefrom, generating a potential difference between anode (10) and emitter
(2). The potential difference between anode (2) and ground and axial magnetic fields
causes the plasma to be extracted from the source. The emitter (2) is held at negative
potential via a conductive support (5). Process gas is introduced near the emitter (2) and
a secondary gas injected in the anode space. Radiofrequency excitation of the emitter
generates electrons via thermionic and field effects, resulting in efficient plasma
generation. Both electron generation effects contribute to a broad energy spectrum of
electrons, providing effective neutralisation of the plasma. Moreover, the time varying
axial magnetic field induced by the induction coil in the vicinity of the emitter (2) provides
enhancement of plasma generation and confinement of the plasma to minimise erosion
of the emitter (2).
