Inventor: BUSHART SEAN
IPC: B03C1/01

Abstract: A decontamination system uses magnetic molecules having ferritin cores to selectively remove target contaminant ions from a solution. The magnetic molecules are based upon a ferritin protein structure and have a very small magnetic ferritin core and a selective ion exchange function attached to its surface. Various types of ion exchange functions can be attached to the magnetic molecules, each of which is designed to remove a specific contaminant such as radioactive ions. The ion exchange functions allow the magnetic molecules to selectively absorb the contaminant ions from a solution while being inert to other non-target ions. The magnetic properties of the magnetic molecule allow the magnetic molecules and the absorbed contaminant ions to be removed from solution by magnetic filtration.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'entraînement musculaire et un procédé pour exercer un groupe musculaire plus faible de deux groupes musculaires opposés d'une personne qui fait balancer un engin, tel qu'un club de golf. Si les deux groupes musculaires opposés étaient de force adéquate, ils appliqueraient de manière souhaitée des forces dans des sens opposés sur l'engin, afin d'aider au maintien de l'engin dans un plan de manche de club idéal. Le système d'entraînement musculaire selon cette invention comprend un corps qui présente une surface de prise, ainsi qu'un générateur de force qui est placé à un emplacement donné sur le corps, est éloigné de la surface de prise et est conçu pour éloigner l'emplacement donné dans un sens opposé au sens de la force que le muscle plus faible exercerait normalement sur l'engin lors de son balancement par la personne. La présente invention concerne également un procédé pour exercer au moins un muscle dominé de deux muscles opposés qui sont typiquement utilisés par le golfeur lorsqu'il essaie de balancer un club de golf dans un plan de manche de club idéal. Le muscle dominé exerce alors sur le club de golf une première force de balancement dans un sens de force de balancement non dominante et un muscle dominant exerce sur le club de golf une seconde force de balancement, supérieure à la force de balancement non dominante, dans un sens de force de balancement dominante qui est opposé au sens de la force de balancement non dominante.

apparatus emits a pulsed light onto an object, receives a reflected pulsed
light by a light receiving element, and amplifies an output thereof by a
tuning amplifier. A sampling data of a damped oscillation wave form
responding to the reflected pulsed light output from the tuning amplifier is
added so as to be shifted by one cycle. Accordingly, it is possible to
execute an enhancing process of a peak value utilizing a periodicity of the
damped oscillation wave form responding to the pulsed signal, and it is
possible to improve a detecting sensitivity of the reflected pulsed light.

Abstract: An electric derailleur has a motor unit 33 having a derailleur motor 62 with an output
shaft 85, a position control mechanism 64 and a controller. The output shaft 85 is rotated
through a moveable range including a first derailleur shift position and a second derailleur
shift position. The position control mechanism 64 is configured and arranged to provide a
position signal indicative of an angular position of the output shaft 85. The controller
detects a predetermined lockup position of the derailleur motor 62 occurring at one of the
first and second derailleur shift positions. The controller also sets a predetermined stop
position for the derailleur motor 62 that is calculated distance prior to the lockup position
based on the position signal of the position control mechanism. Thus, the derailleur motor
62 can be calibrated such that a new stop position is set that prevents an overcurrent from
occurring in the motor.

Abstract: A method for extending bit-depth of display systems. The method includes the
steps of measuring the static display noise of a display device (14), using the
display noise to create pseudo-random noise (12) and subtracting the pseudo-random

data with few or no contouring artifacts. Other embodiments include using the
inherent noise of the human visual system (22) instead of the static display noise, or
both. Specific adjustments can be made to the noise of the human visual system
(22) for color displays.

Abstract: A voltage raising device that provisionally maintains an operation and function when there is an abnormality provided. If a battery voltage drops when an engine is restarted after an idle stop, the voltage raising device (6) raises the output voltage to a target voltage by using a voltage detecting circuit (14) and a current detecting circuit (13). If an overcurrent determining circuit (17) detects overcurrent, a switching control circuit (16) reduces the target voltage to perform a control. If overvoltage is output, for example, due to an increased target voltage caused by an internal setting deviation resulting from a failure, an overvoltage detecting circuit (15) outputs a prohibition signal ENV to stop the switching operation. However, as long as the output voltage is not overvoltage, the voltage raising operation is allowed. Therefore, the possibility that the engine can be started at least once without a problem is increased.
