Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding 24, 25 and a field winding 10 for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit 40 is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding 24, 25 such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit 40 to control the current in the armature winding 24, 25 in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for designing protein immunogen, which comprises (a) modifying the amino acid sequence of the immunogen, and (b) determining whether the T-helper (Th) cell response to the modified immunogen is of the Th1 type or the Th2 type. The method is useful in identifying immunogens for use in immunotherapy of diseases. For example, chronic hepatitis is believed to be associated with a Th2-dominated response which fails to clear the virus, and switching the Th response to a Th1 response by administration of an immunogen that induces a Th1 response may help in clearing the virus.

Abstract: A glass fiber ( 22 ) has a core ( 24 ) provided with Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) embedded in a glass matrix ( 30 ), with glass cladding ( 26 ) around the core. The refractive index of the glass matrix ( 30 ) is matched to that of the Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) so as to avoid scattering. It is not necessary to have a single crystal of Raman laser material to create a laser effect in the glass fiber. A length of fiber in the order of meters or tens of meters can produce optical laser light. It is possible to have a single fiber ( 22 ) emit laser light at different frequencies due to Stokes and Anti-Stokes emissions. A simple laser device can therefore produce several colors of laser beams.

Abstract: The Overhauser effect is a technique for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of nuclear magnetic resonance signals. Electron spin resonance is set up for example in a contrast agent 14 injected into a patient by means of a transmitter 3 at the end of a probe 1 to excite an area 15. The excited electrons couple to MR active nuclei and increase the population in the higher energy level. Then, when an NMR signal is transmitted and received via coil 5, more MR active nuclei return to the ground state and create a bigger, enhanced, signal detected by the coil 5, hence promoting increased signal-to-noise ratio on an image formed on the monitor 9. In the invention, the Overhauser effect may be applied to an intraoperative situation by means of probe 1 which is inserted, for example, into a patient in a region of interest. According to a preferred feature, the transmitter 3 is also used for heat treatment such as ablation by means of oscillator 16 in order to destroy diseased tissue, and the temperature dependence of the enhanced NMR signal, corrected for migration of the contrast agent by the ESR signal reflected back along the central conductor 3 into the detector 13, is used to control the temperature and hence the heat treatment operation.
