Abstract: An illumination unit of the invention comprises an electrodeless low-pressure discharge-lamp (10) and a high-frequency power supply (50). The lamp (10) is provided with a gastight closed discharge vessel (20) with an ionisable fill (21). The lamp (10) further is provided with a coil (30) with turns (31,32) of a primary and a secondary winding (33,34). The power supply unit 50 is provided with input terminals (51a,51b) and is further provided with a first output terminal (52a), electrically neutral with respect to mass, that is connected to a first end (36a) of the primary winding (33) and with a further output terminal (52b) that is connected to a second end (36b) of the primary winding (33). During nominal operation of the lamp (10) the primary winding (33) excites a high-frequency magnetic field that maintains a electrical discharge in the discharge vessel (20) and that induces in the secundary winding (34) a potential drop in the direction of a first, with respect to the mass electrically neutral end (37a), to a second free end (37b) that varies in an opposite sense to the potential drop from the first to second end (36a, 36b) in the first winding (33). In a first end portion (39a) of the coil (30) that comprises half of the turns of the coil (30), the relative amount of turns (31) of the primary winding (33) is at least 3/2 times as large as the relative amount of turns (32) of the secondary winding (34). The measure of the invention improves the ignition speed of the lamp.

Abstract: A monitor-driven intracranial catheter assembly including a catheter comprising a housing (54) enclosing at least one lumen (70) for monitoring intracranial pressure via a pressure sensor located in the lumen. A second lumen (72) is provided for simultaneously draining cerebrospinal fluid. The second lumen (72) or optionally a third lumen, can be provided with a side port for receiving a stylet (74). The stylet is used as a stiffening agent to aid in advancing the catheter into the patient's brain. The pressure sensor is preferably a spectral modulation sensor that communicates with a photodetector apparatus by means of a single optical fiber (98), thus minimizing the diameter of the catheter. The photodetector is self-correcting for signal errors caused by temperature change, changes in intensity of the input light, and transmission losses within the optical apparatus. Moreover, the photodetector operates off the output voltage of the standard hospital monitor by "scaling" the signal from the monitor to provide a pressure measurement signal that emulates the output of a piezoresistive strain gauge sensor or Wheatstone bridge. Therefore, the entire catheter assembly is designed to be used with any of the common types of hospital monitors. The pressure monitoring catheter assembly can be used in any situation requiring very sensitive pressure measurements and can be zeroed and calibrated in situ.

Abstract: A system for controlling locomotion of a biped robot discretely bringing its foot in contact with a floor in an environment such as one including stairs in which the robot's foot contact position is restricted. The robot's locomotion is controlled on the basis of predesigned gait parameters including its foot position/direction which determines foot landing position on a stair. A positional error is detected (S32) between the desired and actual foot landing positions on the stair. And, the gait parameters for the next stair are modified (S36) such that the foot landing position at the next stair is corrected in response to the detected error. In the arrangement, the error is not accumulated and does not exceed an admissible range which ensures the robot's stable walking. Thus, the robot locomotion can be controlled in such a manner that the robot goes up and down the stairs consecutively.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur de direction et un procédé d'étalonnage d'un détecteur de direction (14) constitué d'un détecteur de cap (16) absolu. Ledit procédé permet d'étalonner (22) en même temps le détecteur de cap (14) relatif et le détecteur de cap absolu (16) au moyen du rapport angulaire connu entre les maxima et les minima sur la courbe de mesure du détecteur de cap absolu (16). On obtient ces minima et maxima en faisant tourner les capteurs (12-18) dans un angle d'au moins 360°C, en lisant les valeurs de sortie des détecteurs de cap relatif et absolu en de nombreux points et en comparant les valeurs de sortie successives. La valeur de sortie du détecteur de cap relatif au niveau minimum est déduite de la valeur de sortie au niveau maximum, et la différence est divisée par l'angle connu afin d'obtenir une constante de conversion pour le détecteur de cap relatif (14). On obtient le centre et les rayons de la courbe de mesure du détecteur de cap absolu (16) en déterminant les maxima et minima de la courbe dans deux directions perpendiculaires.

Abstract: The vertical sloping leaf springs (3) supporting the stator are fastened on horizontal foot plates (10). Arranged beneath the foot plates (10) is in each case one elongate bearing element (14) which lies on a foundation plate. The foot plates (10) are, moreover, connected to the foundation plates such that radial forces above a certain magnitude are no longer transmitted to the foundation. In order to absorb these forces, the invention provides connecting elements (9) which connect the foot plates to one another and absorb horizontal forces. This structure makes it possible for the sloping leaf springs to tilt elastically about a tilting axis (K) which is located perpendicularly with respect to the spring plane (5). This reduces, in the case of the given natural frequency, the loading of the spring material. The tensile forces, produced by clamping, onto the foundation also become smaller. The connecting elements (9) and the abovedescribed limitation of the forces between the foot plates and the foundation, moreover, have the effect that large radial forces are not transmitted to the foundation, this preventing damage to the foundation in the event of disruption. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for performing capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) of protein and peptide analytes with fraction collection for the purpose of post separation analysis is disclosed. Use of this method provides a large amount of sample which can be separated and recovered on a porous substrate while preserving the separation efficiency. The large amount of collected sample components may easily be subjected to further analysis such as protein sequencing and amino acid analysis. The cIEF method is conducted by a capillary electrophoresis (CE) system which includes a fused silica capillary, a high voltage power supply, an electrolyte reservoir at one end of the capillary and a porous substrate at the other, means for injecting a sample, and a detector. In carrying out the method, a protein-containing sample is mixed with suitable ampholytes and loaded into the capillary. Subsequent application of the high voltage results in the formation of a pH gradient along the length of the capillary, and more slowly, the migration of the protein analytes to their isoelectric point. The discrete focused zones of analyte are then eluted onto a porous substrate using the bulk fluid flow (electroosmotic flow) or other mobilization techniques associated with the operation of the system. The collected samples become bound to the porous substrate and may then be subjected to further analysis.
