Granted: 2006-07-19
Abstract: A valve is provided for use in controlling the flow of liquid out of a container, the valve comprising a valve body (10) having an inlet (11) and an outlet (12) for liquid. The valve also has a valve seat (13), a valve member (14) movable in the downstream direction onto the valve (13) to close the valve, and an operating device (20) for the valve member (14), the operating device (20) being positioned downstream of the valve member (14) and the valve member (14) being guided for translational movement between open and closed positions. The translational movement of the valve member (14) has a number of advantages, including the fact that liquid flow is symmetrical all around the valve member which decreases pressure drop and accelerates the discharge of liquid from the container. Other advantages are described in the specification.

Abstract: Genetic disease can be diagnosed by detection of mutations in causative genes. Protein truncation assays can be used to detect gene products of truncation-type mutations. However, the sensitivity of the assays is often insufficient to detect mutations present in a sample of DNA at a low frequency. Sensitivity can be increased by dividing samples so that the signal generated by a mutant allele comprises a larger fraction of the total alleles than prior to dividing. Thus a previously undetectable signal generated by the mutant allele can become detectable in the assay. Such increased sensitivity permits detection at early stages and in samples having high levels of other alleles.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of automatic power control (APC) circuitries used in the analog front end of a mobile transmitter. It particularly refers to a power control circuitry (101M, 101N) and a corresponding method for controlling the power level (P<sub>out</sub>) of an RF signal (x(t)) to be transmitted at the output port of a variable-gain power amplifier (105) by performing an additional regulation of the APC loop's reference signal (V<sub>ref</sub>). Thereby, it is proposed to increase the radiated RF power (P<sub>out</sub>) in case a transmitting antenna (110) is mismatched to said power amplifier (105) in order to not release an ongoing call. In case there is a subject very close to the terminal antenna, the antenna load is changed and the increased reflected signal is measured. In a closed loop this increased reflected signal is mixed with a reference ramp signal (V<sub>ramp</sub>) which is used to calculate (S1A) a reference signal (V<sub>ref</sub>) representing the nominal power level (P<sub>ref</sub>) for the power (P<sub>out</sub>) of the RF signal (x(t)) to be transmitted, which leads to an increasing of the radiated power and prevents said call from being released.The step of calculating (S1A) the reference signal (V<sub>ref</sub>) as a function of the reference ramp signal (V<sub>ramp</sub>) and a DC feedback signal (V<sub>PD</sub>) is realized by the substeps of multiplying (S1a') a processed version (K·G<sub>OP</sub>·V<sub>PD</sub>) of the DC feedback signal (V<sub>PD</sub>) by the reference ramp signal (V<sub>ramp</sub>) and adding (S1a") the output signal (V<sub>ramp</sub>·K·G<sub>OP</sub>·V<sub>PD</sub>) of the multiplication step (S1a') to the reference ramp signal (V<sub>ramp</sub>), thereby yielding said reference signal (V<sub>ref</sub>).
