Abstract: A pivoting sailing rig adapted for use on a vehicle, such as a watercraft, includes a frame with spaced apart primary shafts which are oriented to rotate about and move axially along axes which are generally parallel to the center line or fore-aft axis of the watercraft. Wing sails are mounted on coupling elements secured to the primary shafts and are connected to rigging for rotating the wing sails about their longitudinal axes to vary the angle of attack, respectively. The primary shafts include control arms and rigging for rotating the primary shafts between substantially upright positions of the wing sails and laterally declined and reefed positions of the wing sails. The wing sails may include solar collectors mounted thereon and may be oriented in use to take advantage of wind as well as sunlight conditions to optimize sailing as well as energy collection.

Title: High voltage power converter system
Inventor: STEINER MICHAEL
IPC: H02M1/10
Filed: 1997-04-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a high voltage power converter system which is usable, for example, in a drive system (1) for rail vehicles. The current rectifier system (2) comprises a plurality of partial rectifier systems (2,1 to 2.n) for the supply of several motors of a user system (3). A high a.c. voltage (5.1) is supplied in a series circuit of the partial rectifier systems (2.1 to 2.n), thus avoiding the use of an otherwise necessary mains-side transformer. The rectifier system (2) can be relatively simply designed as a multiple system and even to supply a d.c. voltage (5.2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device provided with a semiconductor substrate (2) with a bipolar transistor (1) having a collector region (3) of a first conductivity type, a base region (4) adjoining the collector region (3) and of a second conductivity type opposed to the first, and an elongate emitter region (7) of the first conductivity type adjoining the base region (4); the collector region (3), the base region (6), and the emitter region (7) being provided with conductor tracks (10, 11, 110, 12, 120) which are connected to conductive connection surfaces (C, B, E). According to the invention, the semiconductor device is characterized in that the conductor track (11, 110) on the elongate emitter region (7) has a connection to a connection surface (E1, E2) for a further electrical connection (25) at each of the two ends (70, 77) of the emitter region (7). The emitter region (7) may be made longer in this manner because the length of the emitter region (7) is effectively halved by the connections (11, 110) at the two ends (70, 77). Indeed, charge carriers need be transported over no more than at most half the emitter length. The semiconductor device according to the invention is thus capable of supplying high powers because the charge transport is not limited by charge transport through the conductor track (11, 110) on the elongate emitter region (7).

Abstract: Mikrosporidien sind eine ungewöhnlich schwer nachzuweisende Gruppe von Parasiten. Die neue Nachweismethode soll den Nachweis von Mikrosporidien ohne vorherige Kultivierung der Erreger, ohne DNA-Amplifizierungstechniken und ohne mikroskopische Methoden ermöglichen. Aus mRNA einer Kultur von Encephalitozoon cuniculi wird eine cDNA-Bank hergestellt und immunogene Klone mit polyklonalen Antikörpern gegen E. cuniculi identifiziert und nach Umklonierung in einen Expressionsvektor als rekombinante Antigene exprimiert. Antigene weiterer, auch nicht kultivierbarer Mikrosporidienarten werden auf DNA-Ebene durch Hybridisierung homologer Genabschnitte und anschließender Isolation und Expression erzeugt. Dadurch werden Antigene in großer Menge und Reinheit verfügbar, die entweder direkt zum serologischen Nachweis von Antikörpern oder zur Immunisierung und damit zur Gewinnung von mono- und polyklonalen Antikörpern eingesetzt werden können. Mit diesen Antikörpern können wiederum Mikrosporidien direkt durch Nachweis ihrer Antigene aus klinischem Material von Menschen und Tieren sowie aus Umweltproben und Nahrungsmitteln nachgewiesen werden, ohne daß dazu eine vorherige Kultivierung der Erreger, DNA-Amplifizierungstechniken oder mikroskopische Methoden notwendig sind. Anwendungsgebiet ist der Nachweis von Mikrosporidien und Mikrosporidieninfektionen, insbesondere aus klinischem Material von Menschen und Tieren sowie aus Umweltproben und Nahrungsmitteln durch Antigen-Antikörper-Reaktionen.

Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ROBERT D
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: Flow parameters in a fluid delivery assembly are determined by monitoring pressure responses and processing those responses along with information regarding the fluid flow. In one aspect, a processor controls the pump to pump flow quantities in accordance with a pseudorandom code. Portions of the resulting pressure signal sensed are then decoded in accordance with the pseudorandom code. An estimate of the equilibrium pressure is generated from the decoded pressure values, while a summation of the pressure samples is generated from the undecoded pressure signals. The resistance to fluid flow of the system is determined from the estimated equilibrium pressure and pressure summation. For low flow rates, a processor controls the pump to pump fluid in a series of fluid boluses, with each fluid bolus delivered in the beginning of a separate timeslot. The equilibrium pressure is measured at the end of each timeslot, and a summation of the pressure samples is generated from the pressure signals. For high flow rates, the pump is controlled to vary the flow rate and the change in pressure is divided by the change in flow to directly determine the resistance. A resistance display continuously displays the resistance of the system. The pseudorandom coding and decoding can be used to filter out pressure-response crosstalk caused by multiple fluid infusion segments feeding into a common line.

Title: Multi-projection image display device
Inventor: YAMASAKI MASAMI
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: A multi-projection image display device using a plurality
of image projectors to form one picture on a screen, in which
images projected from the projectors are smoothly connected
with one another, so that seams of the images do not appear
conspicuously. The image display device has projectors (0121,
0122, 0123, 0124) and a screen (0140) laid out in such a
manner that maximum image projection ranges (0151, 0152,
0153, 0154) of the respective projectors ovelap the adjacent
ranges. An image signal control unit (0110) for processing an
image signal supplied from an external image input (0180) has,
therein, a member for cutting out a partial image area dealt with
by each projector, an image converting member for performing
geometric transformation and local color correction of the
partial image, and an arithmetic control member for controlling
the image converting member on the basis of image information
inputted from a screen state monitor camera (0130). With this
structure, smoothing of the seams between the images may be
realized simply by image signal processing, and precise
adjustment of the optical system of the projectors becomes
unnecessary.

Inventor: FRANCO LUIS PADILLA
IPC: G11B5/64
Filed: 1992-12-07
Abstract: A thin film metal alloy magnetic recording disk has a protective
nitrogen-containing carbon overcoat which is thinner and which exhibits
better wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and hardness than
conventional carbon overcoats without nitrogen. The nitrogen present in
the disk overcoat substantially reduces the film stress. Because of the
low stress of the overcoat film there is significantly less likelihood
that the overcoat will delaminate, buckle, or otherwise wear away from
the underlying magnetic layer during operation of the disk file. This
allows for significantly reduced overcoat thickness, thus reducing the
head-disk spacing in the disk file. The overcoat, even though
significantly thinner than prior art carbon overcoats, exhibits better
wear and corrosion resistance than carbon overcoats without nitrogen. In
addition, when the carbon overcoat contains hydrogen, the presence of the
nitrogen increases the hardness of the film if present in a specific
amount dependent on the amount of hydrogen present.
