Abstract: A Data Link Clearance Alerting System is enabled, either manually or
automatically, as soon as the flight crew establishes a data link connection with air
traffic control. Once a connection is established, the system stores each ATC clearance
that has been positively acknowledged, accepted, by the crew. The system monitors the
aircraft in relation to the clearance. An alert is provided to the flight crew as soon as, in
some cases just prior to, the airplane is not in compliance with a clearance. In addition,
an alert is provided when estimates (e.g. estimated time of arrival at a point) or intent
data passed to ATC by data link communication or data link surveillance systems no
longer reflect the aircraft's predicted flight path.

Inventor: CANNESTRA MICHAEL
IPC: F15B11/16
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: A method and system for controlling fluid pressure in a hydraulically actuated device is
provided, in which the device receives an input indicating the amount of work that the device is
to perform, and the threshold pressure of a relief valve (16) is adjusted so that the pressure of the fluid
is appropriate for the amount of work indicated by the input. In one implementation, the device
receives a user input representing the amount of work to be performed by the device. Based on
the user input, a setting for a relief valve (16) that is sufficient to maintain the fluid pressure at a level
appropriate for the amount of work required is determined. An electrical signal is then sent to
the relief valve (16) to adjust it to the determined setting. Determining the proper setting for the relief
valve (16) may involve referencing a look-up table that maps user input values to electrical signal
values. It may also involve calculating the value of the signal needed to adjust the relief valve (16) to
the determined setting, by, for example, inputting the value of the user input into a function and
obtaining the signal value as a result.

IPC: C07K7/08
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détection d'un produit réactionnel signalant la présence d'un inducteur de produit réactionnel, tel qu'une enzyme. Le procédé permet de reconnaître les épitopes formant la base d'une stratégie de détection sans avoir à repérer les anticorps spécifiques à l'épitope. Selon ce procédé, un domaine modulaire marqué directement ou indirectement ainsi qu'une forme biotinylée du ligand peptidique de cognate sont utilisés comme base pour une interaction mesurable. Le ligand peptidique peut être masqué par modifications à travers, par exemple, la phosphorylation d'un résidu SER ou THR, ou par extension de la séquence d'acides aminés au-delà de VAL à terminaison C. Comme les résidus masqués sont décisifs en terme de liaison du domaine modulaire marqué, le masquage d'au moins un des résidus évite la liaison. Après le traitement du résidu masqué par l'enzyme adéquate, (p.ex. traitement d'un résidu phosphorylé avec une enzyme phosphatase ou traitement d'un résidu étendu avec une enzyme protéase), le peptide est transformé en un ligand non masqué original capable de se lier au domaine modulaire marqué et de former un complexe mesurable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de télécommunications conçu pour extraire des données reçues d'un autre dispositif, d'une mémoire tampon de réception et pour les télécharger dans une mémoire gérée par logiciel, en réponse à l'occurrence d'une interruption de réception ou de rythmeur. Une occurrence fréquente de l'interruption de réception ou de rythmeur conduit à l'établissement continu d'une liaison de télécommunication avec l'autre dispositif, mais induit la réduction de l'efficacité de télécommunication à moins qu'une UC à rendement supérieur ou un matériel supplémentaire soit utilisé. Dans le dispositif de télécommunication de l'invention, il est déterminé si une liaison de télécommunication a été établie ou pas. Si la liaison est établie, les données sont extraites en réponse seulement à l'interruption du rythmeur. Si la liaison n'est pas établie, les données sont extraites en réponse à l'interruption de réception ou à l'interruption de rythmeur. L'efficacité de la télécomunication peut ainsi être améliorée avec succès et la liaison peut être établie en continu, sans que cela dépende du rendement de l'UC ou du matériel.

Abstract: Pre-processing of received signals for a layered transmission scheme
is disclosed in which different data (400A,400B) is transmitted in the
same frequency band from separate incoherent transmitters possibly
located at different locations. This scheme permits a backward
compatible upgrade of an existing system. The different data streams
(400A,400B) are transmitted at different power levels, that is power
division multiplexing is used. At the receiver side, the stronger upper
layer signal is directly fed to a legacy receiver (412A), whereas the
weaker lower layer signal is pre-processed (416) before being fed to
another legacy receiver (412B). Pre-processing is done similar to a
multistage receiver, which performs successive cancellation in order to
extract each of the data streams.
