Patent EP-1430296-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REISCHL ROLF
IPC: G01N27/419
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit for operating a nitrogen oxide sensor, for determining the nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentration in a gaseous mixture, in particular in the exhaust gas treatment of a motor vehicle. An electric pump voltage (U_APE,IPE), producing a pump current (I_Pump), is applied between an inner pump electrode (IPE) and an outer pump electrode (APE) of a pump cell. By means of said pump voltage, a constant oxygen partial pressure is set in a first measuring gas chamber by the pumping in or out of oxygen. Said pump voltage (U_APE,IPE) is regulated, such that a constant voltage value occurs on electrodes of a concentration cell. A third NOx-sensitive electrode, arranged in a second measuring gas chamber, is operated as a second pump cell, in which a limiting pump current, indicating the NOx concentration, occurs. In order to minimize the oxygen influence on the measured NOx signal, the pump current (I_Pump) is switched off or limited in a controlled manner within a measuring time window (T_Mess) and the NOx concentration is recorded within said measuring time window (T_Mess).

Abstract: Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit passiven retroreflektierenden oder aktiven lichtabstrahlenden optischen Markierungen versehene Objekte über eine Kamera auch bei unscharfer Abbildung der Markierung auf dem Bildsensor oder bei teilweiser Verdeckung mit geringstem algorithmischen Aufwand schnell and sicher zu identifizieren sowie die Position der markierten Objekte zu bestimmen. Hierzu sendet die Vorrichtung Licht mindestens zweier Wellenlängenbereiche aus, wobei die Lichtstrahler synchron mit dem pixel- oder zeilenweisen Belichten eines Bildsensors angesteuert werden, so daß sick eine als Retroreflektor ausgebildete passive Markierung im Bild als Objekt mit hellen und dunklen Zonen abzeichnet. Diese erzeugten Helligkeitsmuster verringern den algorithmischen Aufwand für eine automatische Erkennung von Markierungen erheblich. Anwendungsgebiete der Erfindung sind die Erkennung and Identifikation von Personen zur Warnung vor Betreten von gefährlichen Bereichen, die Lageerkennung von Lasten an Kränen, das Folgen von vorausfahrenden Fahrzeugen and die Erkennung von Radfahrern and Fußgängern im Straßenverkehr.

Abstract: The invention relates to an image pick up device (401) with pixels arranged in rows and columns. Every pixel (301) comprises a photosensitive element (302), a floating diffusion (304), a transfer transistor (303), an amplifying transistor (305) having its control electrode connected to the floating diffusion (304), and a reset transistor (306). An external node (310) is coupled to a selection switch via a row selection bus (406). The selection switch (411) provides either a first bias voltage, generated by a first voltage source (409), or a second bias voltage, generated by a second voltage source (410), to the row selection bus (406). Applying the first bias voltage and simultaneously turning on the reset transistor (306) programs the floating diffusion (304) to the first bias voltage which biases the amplifying transistor (305) in an on-mode, thereby selecting the pixel (301). Likewise, applying the second bias voltage biases, the amplifying transistor (305) in an off-mode, thereby deselecting the pixel (301). This way of selecting and deselecting pixels avoids the need for a separate selection transistor in every pixel, thereby increasing the fill factor of the pixels. This approach is especially useful for image pick up devices applying correlated double sampling (CDS).

Abstract: A recording medium storing a write protection
information, and a write protection method for protecting
data recorded on a recordable and/or rewritable disc from
unwanted overwriting or erasing. In order for write
protection of a disc in a bare state that is usually used
in a cartridge having a recognition switch for write-protection,
such as a DVD-RAM, write protection
information is recorded in a Lead-in area, a Lead-out area
or a recording information area other than a user data
area of the disc, and the data is protected from unwanted
overwriting or erasing using the write protection
information. Also, even though the write protection
information stored on a disc does not match the state of a
recognition switch of a case for write-protection, the
data can be prevented from unwanted overwriting or
erasing. Thus, the write protection can be ensured when a
recordable and/or rewritable recording medium, such as
DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW, is used in a bare state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nucleic acid analytical device, and a support,
and their use for sorting, isolating, sequencing, and manipulating nucleic
acids. Binary oligonucleotide arrays, having binary oligonucleotides
characterized by a constant nucleotide sequence adjacent to a variable
nucleotide sequence, are used for sorting and surveying nucleic acid strands.
Oligonucleotide arrays are used for sorting mixtures of nucleic acid strands,
making immobilized partial copies of nucleic strands, ligating strands, or
introducing site directed mutations into strands. Information is obtained for
determining the sequence of a nucleic acid strand, alone or in a mixture, by
generating partials of the strand and, for groups of partials having the same
terminal variable oligonucleotide, separately determining the presence and
sequence of all variable oligonucleotides. Arrays are also used to order
previously sequence nucleic acid fragments and to allocate ordered allelic
fragments to chromosomal linkage groups.

Abstract: An electric circuit (20) for equalizing voltages between serially arranged cells
(2A-2H). The circuit is operable to generate AC voltages at amplitudes dependent on
the DC voltages of the received cells. The AC voltages are all connected to an
inductive coupling circuit. The inductive coupling allows higher-voltage cells to
induce a recharging current flow in lower voltage cells and so equalize the cell
voltages. The circuit also operates to ensure that cell voltages are maintained in
equilibrium during charging or discharging of received cells, irrespective of the
individual charging and discharging characteristics of the cells. The circuit thus
prevents individual cells in a battery from being over-charged or over-discharged and
allows more efficient use of the full capacity of a battery without risking damage to
the individual cells. The cell equalizing circuit is thus especially useful for
rechargeable cells, such as lithium-ion cells, which are sensitive to damage by overcharging
and over-discharging.

Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver is described in which
detection of digital channels, and detection of the
transmission mode of such a digital channel, can be
achieved in the optimum time. The receiver employs a
number of preliminary checks which screen out channels
that are not appropriate for digital decoding before the
channels are made available to a digital signal search
circuit. These checks include determining whether the
signal in the channel is an analogue or a digital signal,
as well as determining whether the magnitude of the signal
in the channel is sufficient for it to be decoded. 
     The search circuit (30) performs digital decoding on
the channels which are deemed appropriate, and preferably
searches in parallel for all possible transmission modes
simultaneously. As a result of these measures, a
significant improvement in the time taken to detect
digital signals and tune to them is achieved.
