Abstract: A radiometric data acquisition and display system is provided. The
system has a detector assembly with a boom. A radiometer is connected at an
end of the boom. The radiometer has a sensor head including an antenna horn
to acquire radiometric data from an area of interest. A rangefinder is
constructed and arranged to provide location data indicative of a position of the
sensor head, and a data processor is connected to receive the location data from
the rangefinder and the radiometric data from the radiometer. The data
processor includes signal processing circuitry and a display connected to the
computer. A method of acquiring and displaying a radiometric image of an
object is also provided. The method has the steps of: randomly sweeping a
radiometer detector over an area of interest; detecting an object in a portion of
the area of interest; sweeping the radiometer detector over the object to acquire
radiometric image data; processing the data to construct an image from the
radiometric image data; and displaying the image. In an embodiment, the
method distributes the radiometric data over an antenna pattern to construct an
image using the location data.

Abstract: Es wird eine Verfahren zur Erkennung von Zündaussetzern bei einer Brennkraftmaschine mit zwei Zündkerzen pro Zylinder durch Ionenstrommessung an den Zündkerzen vorgeschlagen, bei dem die Ionenstromsignale der beiden Zündkerzen jeweils über einen zugeordneten Integrator über den gesamten Verbrennungszyklus aufintegriert und die Integratorwerte miteinander verglichen werden. Da bei einer defekten Zündkerze ein Ionenstromsignal erst einige Zeit nach der Zündung, nämlich nach Ankunft der Flamme von der gezündeten Zündkerze, erfolgt, ist deren Integrationswert wesentlich geringer als derjenige der intakten Kerze. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The rapamycin gene cluster is an example of a gene cluster which includes a gene (rapL) leading to the formation of a precursor compound (pipecolic acid, in this case) which is required for inclusion in the larger product (rapamycin) produced by the enzymes encoded by the cluster. We have produced a mutant strain containing a rapamycin gene cluster in which the rapL gene is disabled. The strain does not naturally produce rapamycin but does so if fed with pipecolic acid. By feeding with alternative carboxylic acids we have produced variants of rapamycins. Tests have shown biological activity.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une électrode comportant une couche de particules d'un métal précieux. Cette électrode comprend un substrat électroconducteur sur lequel sont déposées des particules de métal précieux, à effet catalytique. La taille moyenne des surfaces contiguës desdites particules de métal précieux dépasse une valeur minimale. Cette valeur minimale est sélectionnée de sorte que la compatibilité desdites particules avec le monoxyde de carbone soit constante dès le dépassement de la valeur minimale. On a constaté que, lorsque cette valeur minimale n'était pas atteinte, la compatibilité du métal précieux, catalytiquement actif, avec le monoxyde de carbone se détériorait. Pour parvenir à des bonnes comptabilités avec le monoxyde de carbone, on utilise la valeur minimale des surfaces contiguës. On peut obtenir de grandes surfaces contiguës au moyen de particules suffisamment grosses et/ou de densités de particules suffisamment élevées. En général, on peut utiliser de façon avantageuse un substrat, sur lequel ont été déposées les particules selon l'invention, pour l'oxydation catalytique de monoxyde de carbone.
