Abstract: The method provides information on an elevator hoistway (1) to control an elevator. An elevator car (6) is provided to be guided in the hoistway. A readable code (3) is arranged in the hoistway. The code is read as an image. At least one pattern in the image of the code is detected. The detected pattern is compared to a reference pattern. Hoistway information is generated from the detected pattern to control the elevator. The appts. includes at least one sensor (10) to read the code. It also includes at least one device to detect the pattern. At least one computing unit evaluates the hoistway information contained in the pattern. Preferably the pattern detected includes at least one light region and one dark region. A pattern repetition distance is then derived from the spacing between the middle of dark regions. The position of the elevator car (6) is read from the repetition distance.

Abstract: A separate spout (18) is attached to each open bottle (14) in a tavern with each spout (18) having a magnetically operable valve (44) to control the flow of liquor from the bottle. To pour liquor from a bottle, an actuator (22) is placed over the spout (18). An interrogator (90) coupled to an interrogator coil (58) in the actuator (22) for sending an activation signal to a transponder (52) in the spout to read a unique spout identification code. A memory (71) provides a group of storage locations for each spout with each group storing an identification code and data regarding a total volume dispensed from the bottle (14) to which the particular spout (18) is attached, a quantity present in the particular bottle when full, and a price per volume unit. A controller (26) energizes a valve operating coil (60) in the actuator (22) to open a valve (44) in response to the interrogator (90) reading the spout identification code. Then, the controller (26) accesses the memory (71) and updates data in for the identified spout (18). The system (6) accounts for the amount of liquor dispensed from each bottle (14) and the value of that liquor to monitor the liquor inventory and sales. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the locally-resolved immune-histochemical detection of steroid receptors in tissue containing target cells, the method comprising the following steps: A tissue sample containing target cells is treated with an aqueous formaldehyde solution with a pH of less than about 6.0, a non-covalently bound ligand on the steroid receptor being set free from the steroid receptor and covalently bound in the molecular vicinity of a sterically open bonding point. The tissue sample is subsequently dehydrated and embedded in a standard embedding compound. The embedded tissue sample is sliced to produce a sequence of slices. At least some of the slices are rehydrated and incubated with a ligand-specific antibody, the ligand-specific antibodies adding to the ligands bound at sterically open bonding points. The added ligand-specific antibodies are then rendered visible by means of a second antibody/enzyme conjugate pair and by its reaction with a substrate to give an insoluble product.

Abstract: Setting parameters of a PID controller are obtained by feeding a step signal or another input signal to an assigned controlled system. The response signal emitted by the controlled system is sampled and the characteristics of the Bode diagram are generated from the input signal and the response signal by using a smoothing method and elementary correspondences. The characteristics are normalized and input values are derived therefrom for a neural network which is trained on the properties of the controlled systems. The neural network directly generates the setting parameters for the controller.

Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism is integrated into an end cap assembly for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. Alternatively, the thermally responsive mechanism may include a meltable mass of material which melts when exposed to elevated temperature to break an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. The end cap assembly may also include integrated therein a pressure responsive current interrupt mechanism. If the internal gas pressure within an operating cell exceeds a predetermined value, the pressure responsive mechanism activates to sever an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly to prevent current from passing through the cell. The pressure responsive mechanism may include a diaphragm which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures within the end cap assembly.

Date Sep. 25, 1997The invention concerns a method of reducing the amplitude noise of solid lasers (e.g. Nd-YAG, Nd:YAlO, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO3, etc.) with resonator-internal frequency doubling (for example by KTP, LBO, BBO, KNbO3, LiNbO3, etc.). According to the invention, some of the frequency-doubled ejected laser radiation or the fundamental wave radiation is guided onto a photodetector (in particular a photodiode) whose electrical output signal undergoes bandpass filtering which filters out a frequency range typical of the noise. This output signal, optionally after rectification, quadrature and/or integration, is then subjected to temperature regulation or control which corrects the temperature of the frequency-doubling crystal such that the output signal is minimized after the bandpass filter and thus the amplitude noise of the laser radiation is minimized.
