Title: Protective layer system for non-oxidic substrates containing si
Inventor: LATZEL SILKE
IPC: C04B41/89
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: Only mullite, yttrium silicate and zirconium do not have sufficient protection against oxidation at high temperatures when they are used as protective layers for non-oxidic ceramics containing Si. A covering layer arranged thereon and known according to prior art for metallic substrates is generally unsuitable due to its thermal expansion coefficient and/or its chemical incompatibility as thermally induced stresses are created, leading to cracks and flaking of the covering layer. The invention relates to a protective layer system for a non-oxidic ceramic containing Si, said system comprising a first protective layer provided with an oxide containing Si, and a covering layer arranged on the protective layer. Said covering layer contains a compound which is impermeable to oxygen and has a thermal expansion coefficient of less than 9,0*10<-6>/K. One such protective layer system is suitable both as a heat insulating layer and as an anti-corrosion layer against oxygen and water vapour. Said layers can advantageously be embodied in an at least partially graduated manner. The combination of a mullite protective layer and a lanthanum hafnate or a hafniumorthosilicate covering layer has proven to be especially advantageous.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de caractérisation de molécules d'acide nucléique, qui consiste à: i) introduire une base modifiée constituant un substrat pour une endonucléase d'ADN, par exemple une endonucléase V de E.coli, dans une molécule d'ADN cible; et ii) mettre en réaction l'acide nucléique contenant la base modifiée avec l'endonucléase d'ADN de sorte que l'acide nucléique soit clivé afin de générer un fragment amont contenant cette base modifiée et portant un groupe 3' hydroxyle. Le fragment amont généré au cours de l'étape ii) peut être utilisé en tant qu'amorce dans une réaction d'extension ultérieure. La base ainsi modifiée cible le clivage de brin d'acide nucléique parce qu'il dirige l'endonucléase de manière à ce qu'elle coupe le brin d'acide nucléique sur lequel elle réside au niveau d'un site, principalement un nucléotide, y étant extrait, de sorte que la base modifiée reste dans l'acide nucléique comme le fragment amont. Le procédé peut être utilisé en vue de détecter des polymorphismes et des mutations ainsi que dans l'identification et le profilage d'acide nucléique. Ce procédé permet de détecter des polymorphismes dans n'importe quel contexte de séquence et cette détection ne dépend pas de la séquence nucléotidique environnante.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thermomechanical
treatment means for a Fe-Mn-Si-based shape memory alloy
having specified components with Nb, C addition with
simple deformation prior to aging. Such deformation
treatment prior to aging is carried out in the
inventions of the prior applications in a temperature
range of from 500°C to 800°C. According to the present
invention, however, the deformation treatment prior to
the aging treatment can be successfully carried out not
at high temperature but at room temperature, if the
deformation ratio is in a specified range. 
     The technical meaning of the present invention
must be clearly understood as compared to the prior art
and the inventions of the prior applications because the
present invention allows the treatment at room
temperature while the others require troublesome
treatment at high temperature so that there is
significant difference therebetween. That is, according
to the present invention, the remarkable improvement in
shape memory property is achieved first time by a
combination of specified alloy components, specified
deformation ratio at room temperature, and setting of
aging condition to a certain range. With the development
of the present invention, it is expected that the use of
shape memory alloys will be accelerated toward the
practical use in a wide variety of fields.

IPC: H03F1/26
Filed: 2003-12-11
Abstract: A feed forward amplifier employing a new adaptive controller and method is disclosed. The controller aligns both a gain adjuster and phase adjuster of a first cancellation loop. The phase adjuster may be controlled following a standard approach. However, the gain adjuster is offset intentionally causing an incomplete cancellation, increasing the signal power passing through the error amplifier. If the gain adjuster is offset low, below the gain adjustment required to maximize carrier cancellation, peak power output from the main amplifier is reduced while the second loop maintains constant system output power. If the gain adjuster is offset high, peak power output from the error amplifier is reduced while the second loop maintains constant system output power. By controlling the gain adjuster offset from full first loop cancellation, the feed forward amplifier can be optimized for the power handling capabilities of the main and error amplifiers. A system and method of specifying and controlling the steady-state offset of the first loop gain adjuster is also disclosed. By altering the cost function of the first loop gain, the desired gain adjuster offset becomes the steady-state adjustment. Floors and penalties are incorporated into the first loop gain minimization approach to allow precise specification of the gain adjuster offset. The gain adjuster offset can be controlled at will to optimize the feed forward system even when the operating conditions or goals are varying.

Abstract: A video encoder comprises a video frame receiver (101) connected to a processor (103) deriving relative frames from the received video frames and predicted frames. The processor is connected to a Discrete Fourier Transform (DCT) processor (105) which again is connected to a quantiser (107) for generating quantised spatial frequency coefficients for the relative frame. The output of the quantiser (107) is fed to a splitter that splits the data subset having low frequency components and a second data subset having frequency components. The first subset is used in the encoding loop comprising an inverse quantiser (111), inverse DCT processor (113), motion compensation processor (115, 117) and predicted frame processor (104). Hence, the encoding loop is simplified by only considering a reduced data set for each frame. A transmitter (119) transmits the video data as a progressively scalable stream for both the first and second data subsets.

Abstract: Certains véhicules routiers sont équipés de systèmes de détection de l'environnement pour l'assistance au conducteur. A cet effet, des capteurs optiques destinés à enregistrer des données sur l'environnement sont installés sur le véhicule routier. Les données enregistrées sont converties en une image au moyen d'une unité informatique puis affichées au conducteur, par exemple sur un écran. De plus, les données d'image peuvent être soumises à une autre analyse, p. ex. pour la détection d'objets dans cette image. Toutefois, une très grande quantité de données doit alors être traitée, de sorte que l'obtention d'une capacité de traitement en temps réel avec ce système pose de très hautes exigences en matière de puissance matérielle. Par conséquent, la présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de fournir à ce système une capacité de traitement en temps réel au moyen d'un traitement de données simple. Selon ladite invention, une analyse à plusieurs étages au sein de zones partielles de détection individuelles, d'une part, et une limitation de la zone de détection à la zone de la voie de circulation, d'autre part, permettent de réduire considérablement la quantité de données à analyser et permettent, ainsi, un traitement rapide des données pendant la détection de l'environnement.
