Abstract: A process for crystallization of at least partially amorphous thermoplastic polymer material obtained from a polymer melt, in which before crystallization the polymer material is subjected to one or more conditioning steps, in which a controlled moisture level and/or a controlled moisture profile is set up in the material. During crystallization of partially amorphous thermoplastic polymers, in spite of careful temperature control agglomerate formation via pellet formation and/or formation of pellets with their breaking open on the crystallizer walls can occur when the conditions of granulate formation are unsuitable and/or because of unsuitable bedding of the granulate prior to crystallization, and this can be hindered by controlling the moisture content. A process for crystallization of at least partially amorphous thermoplastic polymer material obtained from a polymer melt, in which before crystallization the polymer material is subjected to one or more conditioning steps, in which a controlled moisture level and/or a controlled moisture profile is set up in the material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and influencing the state of plants in a contactless manner, especially for the specific partial surface fertilisation of plants. According to the inventive method, the plants are illuminated, with a light spot or a light strip, by means of a modulated artificial light source (6) which produces a halogen or xenon light, during the passage of said source on a carrier. The reflection signals of the leafage of the plants are detected in the visible and/or near-infrared spectral region by means of detectors (14), and are transferred to an evaluation and signal processing device (21) for the determination of biophysical parameters such as biomass, and chlorophyll and/or water content. A variable is determined on the basis of said parameters for the nutrition state of the plants, by which means a computer controls the quantities of fertiliser to be correspondingly applied, as a target variable. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a system and process that controls a group of networked electronic components using a multimodal integration scheme in which inputs from a speech recognition subsystem, gesture recognition subsystem employing a wireless pointing device and pointing analysis subsystem also employing the pointing device, are combined to determine what component a user wants to control and what control action is desired. In this multimodal integration scheme, the desired action concerning an electronic component is decomposed into a command and a referent pair. The referent can be identified using the pointing device to identify the component by pointing at the component or an object associated with it, by using speech recognition, or both. The command may be specified by pressing a button on the pointing device, by a gesture performed with the pointing device, by a speech recognition event, or by any combination of these inputs.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of electronics and more particularly to the tuning and injection locking of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). An improved injection locking circuit is provided which allows the VCO to injection lock with a smaller reference signal and therefore a smaller locking bandwidth (LBW). In order to allow the VCO to injection lock with a lower power reference signal, this invention includes a pre-tuning algorithm to place the VCO frequency such that the desired frequency is in the LBW. Tuning of the VCO is achieved using direct digital tuning that does not require an input reference. Injection locking is performed using a low frequency clock harmonic as the reference signal. More specifically, tuning is accomplished by sub-sampling and digitizing the output signal of the VCO, determining the center frequency, and adjusting the VCO control voltage.
