Title: Method for determining the air-tightness of enclosed spaces
IPC: G01F17/00
Filed: 2007-08-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method that enables the air tightness of an enclosed space to be determined in the most precise manner and without increasing expenditure. Said space is particularly suitable for use in the above mentioned inert gas fire extinction system. The invention relates to, in particular, a method in which the actual air tightness of the enclosed space can be determined, if required, at any particular time in an effective but simple manner without having to acquire a series of expensive measurements.  According to the invention, a concentration gradient between the room air atmosphere of an enclosed space and the ambient air atmosphere is initially controlled, and in which the concentration of at least one component of the room air atmosphere, in particular oxygen, is adjusted to a value that is different from the corresponding value of the concentration of at least one component in the ambient air atmosphere. Subsequently, a concentration variation rate is determined in which the temporal modification of the concentration of at least one component is detected in the room-air atmosphere. Subsequently, an airtightness value of the enclosed space is calculated by taking into account the determined concentration modification rate.

Title: Computer process resource modelling method and apparatus
Inventor: BUSH WILLIAM R
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 1995-08-09
Abstract: An error detection mechanism for detecting programming errors in a computer program. A component of the computer program, e.g., a procedure or function of the computer program, is analyzed to determine the effect of the component on resources used by the computer program. A component is analyzed by traversing the computer instructions, i.e., statements, of the component and tracking the state of resources used by the components as affected by the statements of the component. Each resource has a prescribed behavior represented by a number of states and transition between states. Violations in the prescribed behavior of a resource resulting from an emulated execution of the statements of the component are detected and reported as programming errors. Resources used by two or more components are modelled by modelling externals of the components. The effect of execution of a component on externals and resources of the component is determined by traversing one or more possible control flow paths through the component and tracking the use of each external and resource by each statement of each control flow path. Once the effect of execution of a component on externals and resources of the component is determined, a model of the component is created and used to model externals and resources of other components which invoke the modelled component.

Inventor: VAKIL TARUN D
IPC: B01D53/62
Filed: 2008-11-12
Abstract: A novel steam reformer unit design, a novel hydrogen PSA unit design, a novel hydrogen/nitrogen enrichment unit design, and novel processing scheme application are presented. The result of these innovations results in re-allocating most of the total hydrogen plant CO2 emissions load to high pressure syngas stream exiting the water gas shift reactor while minimizing the CO2 emissions load from the reformer furnace flue gas. As compared to the conventional 60/40 split of total CO2 emissions in syngas/flue gas streams for steam reformer based conventional hydrogen plant designs, the present invention results in 85/15 or better CO2 split. This will permit about 85% or better of the total CO2 emissions load to be captured from the syngas stream, using the conventional, well proven and cost effective amine scrubbing technology. Such 85% or better CO2 capture is much greater than the 55% to 60% maximum possible using conventional steam reformer based hydrogen plant technology. As CO2 recovery from high pressure syngas stream is much easier and cost effective as compared to that from low pressure reformer furnace flue gases, a major cost benefit for equivalent CO2 recovery results with the present invention.

Title: Commande d'antennes montees sur une porte et integrees
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JACK H
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 2007-07-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de commande d'antennes montées sur une porte ou intégrées dans une porte. Une antenne, par exemple, une antenne EAS ou RF, envoie des signaux d'interrogation qui sont reçus par des marqueurs situés sur des marchandises à l'intérieur d'une plage de détection, c.-à-d., une "zone d'interrogation". Les antennes qui sont montées sur ou intégrées dans une porte se déplacent conjointement avec le mouvement de la porte. Ainsi, la zone d'interrogation couverte par le champ magnétique des antennes change en continu conjointement avec le mouvement de la porte. Le système et le procédé de la présente invention permettent de commander les antennes montées sur une porte par surveillance du mouvement de la porte sur laquelle l'antenne est montée, et par réglage de la taille et de l'étendue de la zone d'interrogation générée par l'antenne en conséquence. Un processeur à l'intérieur d'une unité de commande reçoit des signaux de position provenant d'un capteur de position monté sur la porte mobile, détermine si la zone d'interrogation doit être augmentée, diminuée, supprimée, ou maintenue, et transmet des signaux à l'antenne ou à un dispositif d'alarme, le signal contenant des instructions de modification de zone d'interrogation.

Abstract: A converter ECU (30) acquires a temperature rise start signal for instructing the temperature rise start of storage portions (10, 20) from each sensor and ECU provided in a vehicle. The converter ECU (30) also acquires the allowable power of the storage portions (10, 20) from a battery ECU (32) and acquires storage portion temperatures (Tb1, Tb2) from temperature detecting portions (12, 22). If any of the acquired accumulation portion temperatures (Tb1, Tb2) falls below the corresponding temperature lower limit, the converter ECU (30) generates a temperature rise instruction for the storage portion whose temperature is below the corresponding temperature lower limit on the basis of the temperature rise start signal. Furthermore, on the basis of the generated temperature rise instruction, the converter ECU (30) selects one control mode from a plurality of preset control modes and determines it as the control mode of converters (18, 28).

Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer tissue phantom involves successively forming at least two layers, each layer formed by depositing a viscous flowable material over a supporting element or over a previously formed layer of the phantom supported by the supporting element, selectively redistributing the material while material is solidifying to control a thickness distribution of the layer, and allowing the material to solidify sufficiently to apply a next layer. The supporting element supports the material in 2 or 3 directions and effectively molds a lumen of the tissue. The neighbouring layers are of different composition and of chosen thickness to provide desired optical properties and mechanical properties of the phantom. The phantom may have selected attenuation and backscattering properties to mimic tissues for optical coherence tomography imaging.

Title: Cqi reporting for mimo transmission in a wireless communication system
Inventor: BLANZ JOSEF J
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: Techniques for determining and reporting channel quality indicator (CQI) information are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a transmit power per channelization code, POVSF, based on the available transmit power and a designated number of channelization codes, e.g., by uniformly distributing the available transmit power across all transport blocks and all of the designated number of channelization codes. The UE may estimate SINRs of multiple transport blocks based on POVSF, determine CQI indices for the transport blocks based on the SINRs, and send the CQI indices to a Node B. The Node B may send multiple transport blocks to the UE based on the CQI indices. The Node B may send the transport blocks (i) with the designated number of channelization codes at POVSF or (ii) with a second number of channelization codes at POVSF, with the transport block sizes being scaled based on the designated and second numbers of channelization codes.
