Inventor: KITA DAVID
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: A method for the prediction of adverse cross-reactions between lead candidate biomolecules and potential reactant molecules, often biopolymers, is described. In a computational system, reactions are modeled within a suitable environment, in order to determine a reaction profile between a lead candidate molecule and a potential reactant molecule. A risk assessment is then generated for each lead based on a plurality of reaction profiles for the lead with respect to a plurality of potential reactant molecules. The method includes provision for the redesign and optimization of the lead candidate, possibly iterative in nature, in order to avoid predicted adverse cross-reactions.

Inventor: HICKENLOOPER HARRISON THOMAS
IPC: B61L25/02
Filed: 2004-11-23
Abstract: A method and system for compensating for wheel wear uses position and/or speed information from an independent positioning system to measure some distance over which the train has traveled. Wheel rotation information and/or distance and speed from a wheel sensor over the distance is also collected. The wheel rotation information and distance and/or speed information are then used to determine the size of the train wheels and/or a correction factor that can be used to correct the information from the wheel sensor for wheel wear. The method is performed periodically to correct for changes in wheel size over time due to wear so that the wheel rotation information can be used to determine train position and speed in the event of a positioning system failure.

Abstract: A wing turbine generator, an active vibration damping method for the generator, and a wind turbine tower, where the reduction in vibration of the wind turbine generator and the wind turbine tower can be achieved at a low cost. Acceleration of vibration of a nacelle (13) is measured by an accelerometer (17) fixed to the nacelle (13). Based on the acceleration measured, an active vibration damping section (20) calculates a wind turbine blade (12) pitch angle that causes the wind turbine blade (12) to produce thrust to cancel vibration of the nacelle (13), and outputs the result as a damping blade pitch angle command .delta..theta.*. On the other hand, a pitch angle control section (30) calculates a wind turbine blade (12) pitch angle for setting the output to a specific value and outputs the result as a blade pitch angle command .theta.* for output control. A subtractor (40) superposes the vibration damping blade pitch angle command .delta..theta.* on the output controlling blade pitch angle command .theta.* and controls the pitch angle of the wind turbine blade based on a superposed blade pitch angle command.

Abstract: The invention relates to a semi-automatic system for the production of large electrical induction coils. The inventive system comprises an articulated head which acts on a coil production table and which confers the exact pressure on each of the windings of the coil, as well as a system for tensioning and guiding the conductor, all of which is controlled using a remotely-programmed system into which the appropriate commands have been introduced in accordance with the characteristics of the winding to be produced. According to the invention, production cycle times are reduced owing to the elimination of tasks which are currently performed manually, such as dimension checking and coil pressing, and, consequently, greater precision is obtained in relation to required coil size. The aforementioned process regulates and controls mechanical stress in relation to the conductor, thereby preventing any risk of elongation or deformation therein. In this way, improved-quality coils are produced.
