Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de corriger la durée des injections sur la base de fluctuations de pression d'injections antérieures. A cet effet, la durée d'injection est déterminée sur la base d'une valeur de caractéristiques et d'une valeur de correction. La valeur de caractéristiques est sélectionnée parmi les caractéristiques, en fonction de la pression du carburant et de la masse de carburant à injecter. La valeur de correction est calculée en fonction de l'écart temporel existant entre l'injection subséquente et au moins une injection précédente. Ce système permet d'obtenir une détermination précise de la durée d'injection et par conséquent, un dosage précis de la masse de carburant voulue.

Abstract: In place of a step of centrifugation during preparation of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from bacteria, the invention utilises ultrafiltration. This allows much larger amounts of OMV-containing supernatant to be processed in a much shorter time. Thus the invention provides a process for preparing bacterial OMVs, comprising a step of ultrafiltration. The ultrafiltration step is performed on an aqueous suspension of OMVs after they have been prepared from bacteria and the OMVs remain in suspension after the filtration step. The invention is particularly useful for preparing OMVs from Neisseria meningitidis.

Abstract: A method for adapting at least one system parameter (φi) defining a connection (C) between a transmitter unit (2) and a receiver unit (3, 4) in a radio based communications system (1), wherein an adaptation frequency (ν) at which the system parameter(φi) is adapted is dependent on at least one derivative of order n, n = 0; 1, of a distance (D) between the transmitter unit (2) and the receiver unit (3, 4) with respect to time. Thus, the method provides an efficient way of relating the need to update system parameters in radio based communications systems to physically measured quantities in connection with constituents of said system, such that the parameter adaptation rate itself is adapted dynamically and system resources can be used in an optimized fashion.
