Abstract: La présente invention concerne un commutateur magnétique amélioré (10). Ledit commutateur est conçu pour être utilisé dans un circuit d'alarme (52) de manière à détecter un mouvement relatif entre des premier et second éléments tels qu'une porte (14) et un cadre (12), de manière à signaler l'ouverture non autorisée de la porte (14). Le commutateur (10) comprend un ensemble commutateur destiné à être monté dans le cadre (12) et présentant des premier et second éléments de commutation (40,42), un corps mobile, magnétisé en permanence (44), adjacent aux éléments (40,42), et un premier composant d'attraction (36). De plus, le commutateur (10) présente un second composant d'attraction (22), destiné à être monté sur la porte (14), qui se présente sous la forme d'un composant ferromagnétique tel qu'un aimant permanent (50) ou une tôle d'acier (60). Lors de l'utilisation lorsque la porte (14) est fermée et que le circuit (52) est mis en vigilance, l'attraction magnétique entre le corps (44) et le composant (22) décale le corps (44) vers une position de fermeture du commutateur en contact simultané avec les éléments commutateurs (40, 42). Si la porte (14) est ouverte, l'attraction magnétique entre le corps (44) et le composant (36) déplace le corps vers une position d'ouverture du commutateur hors contact simultané avec les éléments commutateurs (40,42), déclenchant ainsi le circuit (52). Si un intrus tente de rendre inopérant le commutateur (10) au moyen d'un aimant externe (58), le corps (44) est à nouveau déplacé vers une position d'ouverture du commutateur, déclenchant le circuit (52).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in complex genetics classification are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a method is performed using data from a sample population which includes counts of individuals in the sample population associated with both a particular diploid haplotype pair and a particular genetic trait class. A correspondence to analysis (COA) on the data from the sample population is performed (at least in part) so as to determine a first plurality of n-dimensional coordinates for each diploid haplotype pair and a second plurality of n-dimensional coordinates for each genetic trait class. A linear or quadratic classification analysis is then performed based on the first and the second pluralities of n-dimensional coordinates and diploid haplotype pairs of the at least two genes from an individual sample.  Advantageously, the individual sample can be accurately classified into one of the genetic trait classes using the method.

Title: Liquifier pump control in an extrusion apparatus
Inventor: COMB JAMES W
IPC: B29C48/02
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: An extrusion apparatus (10) employs a method for controlling the output flow rate of a liquifier (26). The apparatus (10) includes an extrusion head (20) which moves along a predetermined tool path at an extrusion head velocity. The extrusion head (20) carries the liquifier (26). The liquifier (26) receives a solid element of a modeling material (14), heats the modeling material, and outputs a flow of the modeling material at an output flow rate. A material advance mechanism (23) is employed to supply the solid element of modeling material (14) to the liquifier (26) at an input rate which controls the output flow rate. In order to control the output flow rate, an extrusion head velocity profile is determined based on the tool path. The input rate of modeling material (14) to the liquifier (26) is then controlled to produce an output flow rate of modeling material from the liquifier (26) that is proportional to a current extrusion head velocity corresponding to the extrusion head velocity profile.
