Patent EP-0835443-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DEMOREST DAVID M
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for increasing the electroosmotic flow rate available for a silica surface. In the method, there is provided an electrophoretic channel which is defined by one or more silica surfaces. The surface(s) are contacted with an alkaline aqueous solution containing a solubilized silicate-monovalent metal complex in an amount effective to increase the acidity of the silica surface(s), as evidenced by a reduction in the average bulk pKa of the surface(s). The achieved increase in acidity is greater than would be obtained using an otherwise identical solution lacking said silicate. In one preferred embodiment, the monovalent metal used in the solution is Li+, Na+, or K+. Also disclosed is a method for increasing the acidity of a silica surface, by contacting the surface with an alkaline aqueous solution of the type noted above.

Abstract: Système de codage permettant de protéger contre les erreurs aussi bien les symboles significatifs que les symboles non significatifs d'un message numérique à transmettre d'un émetteur à un récepteur d'un système numérique. La protection contre les erreurs des symboles non significatifs aussi bien que des symboles significatifs est assurée par codage au niveau de l'émetteur des symboles significatifs et des symboles non significatifs des blocs de message constituant le message numérique. On assure une protection inégale contre les erreurs en ce qui concerne les symboles significatifs en supprimant un certain nombre de symboles non significatifs de chaque mot de code du signal codé. A la réception, on détermine, pour chaque mot de code reçu, si les effacements et les erreurs contenues dans le mot de code peuvent être corrigés. Cette détermination de la possibilité de correction est fonction du nombre des erreurs, du nombre des effacements et de la distance minimale du code. Sur la base de cette détermination, les symboles les moins significatifs sont réintroduits dans le mot de code reçu qui est ensuite codé. De préférence, cette réintroduction s'effectue au moyen d'un code décodable Berlekamp analogue à un code Reed-Solomon dans lequel les symboles supprimés sont considérés comme des effacements. Ainsi, le message comportant lesdits symboles réintroduits est décodé au moyen d'un décodage de type Viterbi par estimation séquentielle.

Abstract: The booster takes the relatively low voltage available from a photoelectric cell (1) and uses it to charge an accumulator (6) to a suitable voltage by connecting it to the accumulator through a self inductance (4) and Schottky diode (5) and using a transistor (7) to cyclically ground the inductance. The power available from a given photovoltaic cell is known to be at or near a maximum at a particular cell voltage for a broad range of light intensities and this voltage is used as a reference voltage (Vref,9). The photoelectric cell voltage is compared (16) to the reference voltage and the result sampled by regulating circuits (11,12,17) which adjust the transistor switching speed to obtain the optimum photoelectric cell voltage.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé d'analyse d'un échantillon de constitution inconnue par un appareil d'analyse. Ce procédé, qui consiste à prendre un ensemble de mesures d'analyse et un ensemble de mesures de référence, constitués chacun d'un ensemble de réponses sous forme de signaux multivariables obtenus par des premier et second appareils d'analyse à partir d'un jeu d'échantillon, et à les ajuster pour en éliminer les variabilités opérationnelles liées à l'appareil, produit des première et seconde matrices de réponses de signaux ajustées. Le procédé consiste ensuite à décomposer l'une des deux matrices de réponses de signaux ajustées en un produit matriciel entre une matrice comprenant un ensemble de facteurs principaux et une matrice comprenant les quantités affectées à chacun des facteurs principaux. On passe alors à la construction d'un produit matriciel comprimé de réponses de signaux à partir d'une matrice comprenant un sous-ensemble de l'ensemble de facteurs principaux et d'une matrice comprenant les quantités affectées à chacun des facteurs principaux inclus dans le sous-ensemble, cette dernière matrice servant alors à calculer une matrice de projections. On construit alors un produit matriciel normalisé comprimé à partir de cette matrice de projections et d'un premier produit matriciel normalisé qui comprend une matrice de normalisation et l'autre des deux matrices de réponses de signaux ajustées. On calcule les valeurs de la matrice de normalisation qui réduisent à un minimum la différence entre le premier produit matriciel normalisé et le produit matriciel normalisé comprimé, ce qui donne une matrice de normalisation optimale. On construit ensuite un second produit matriciel normalisé comprenant la matrice de normalisation optimale et la matrice de réponses de signaux ajustées qui avait été décomposée en un produit matriciel. En utilisant l'autre matrice de réponses de signaux ajustées et le second produit matriciel normalisé, on construit ensuite un gabarit convenant à l'analyse des réponses de signaux provenant de l'échantillon de constitution inconnue par le premier appareil d'analyse, l'application de ce gabarit aux réponses de signaux issues de l'échantillon permettant alors d'en déterminer la constitution.
