Abstract: A photosensitive surface of an image sensor, hereafter a photosurface, of a gated 3D camera is controlled to acquire both gated and ungated light in the same frame on different areas of its surface. One image capture area of the photosurface acquires gated light during a gated period while another image capture area is OFF for image data capture purposes. During an ungated period, the other image capture area of the same photosurface captures ungated light as image data. Typically, the gated and ungated periods are interleaved during the same frame period.

Inventor: BARRIL ALONSO XAVIER
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: It is described a method of binding site and binding energy determination by mixed explicit solvent all-atoms molecular dynamics simulations. The macromolecular target for which high affinity binders are sought is simulated in several mixed solvent environments comprising water and at least one amphiphilic organic co-solvent. The simulations are run so that the mixture of solvents are free to react to the presence of the target without the addition of any forces other than those found in the original potential. A correction is applied that helps dissociating the distribution of the different chemical groups found in the amphiphilic organic solvents when calculating their free energies of binding. Additionally, a second correction can be applied accounting for the aggregation of said solvents. The correction helps determining more meaningful absolute, and more accurate relative free energies of binding that can be applied in the rational design of new binders to macromolecular targets.

Cet auto-injecteurs rechargeable présente des organes d'entraînement d'insertion d'aiguille et d'injection de médicament séparés, l'organe d'entraînement d'insertion d'aiguille étant conçu pour être réactivé après recharge. Une seringue comportant une aiguille est positionnée dans un boîtier de manière à pouvoir se déplacer entre une première position, dans laquelle l'aiguille est logée à l'intérieur du boîtier, et une deuxième position, dans laquelle l'aiguille fait saillie hors du boîtier. Une tige de piston est normalement bloquée par rapport un tube de tige de piston par au moins un organe de verrouillage flexible. Un pousse-seringue applique une force à la seringue de sorte que cette dernière se déplace avec le tube de tige de piston, la tige de piston et l'organe d'entraînement de cette dernière pour passer de la première la deuxième position. Dans la seconde position, l'élément de verrouillage est débloqué et libère la tige de piston pour activer ainsi l'organe d'entraînement de cette dernière de façon à faire avancer la tige de piston dans la seringue pour administrer le médicament. Une manette de recharge est raccordée à l'ensemble seringue de sorte qu'une opération de l'utilisateur de la manette de recharge provoque le retrait de la seringue dans la première position et recharge simultanément l'organe d'entraînement de seringue de façon à permettre à l'auto-injecteur d'être prêt pour l'administration d'une autre dose de médicament.

Abstract: A method (200) to determine a performance characteristic of an exhaust system (14) of an engine (10), where the exhaust system (14) includes an exhaust gas sensor (22) that outputs an exhaust gas signal (28). A combustion event in a cylinder (18a) is fueled at an air-fuel ratio selected to produce exhaust gas that is expected to be distinguishable by the exhaust gas sensor (22) from exhaust gas produced by other combustion events (32), and used to determine the performance characteristic. The performance characteristic may be an exhaust gas transport time (30) of the exhaust system (14), a sensitivity characteristic of the exhaust gas sensor (22), or a fueling correction value necessary to restore fueling to, for example, stoichiometry. Such a method (200) is useful to detect physical changes in the exhaust system (14) such as relocating the exhaust gas sensor (22), or detect if the exhaust gas sensor (22) is damaged or not operating properly.
