at least one electric motor 50, 60 includes a controller 200 for maintaining a state of
charge of the battery array 30 within a control limit. A controller 200 of the vehicle

compares a state of charge of the battery array 10 to an upper control limit associated
with a forward driving mode, decreases generated by the generator 310, if the state of
charge is equal to or greater than the associated upper control limit, and increases the
power generated by the generator 310, if the state of charge is less than the associated
upper control limit. A method of controlling the state of charge of the battery array
30 includes determining if the vehicle 10 is in one of a plurality of forward driving
modes, comparing a state of charge of the battery array 30 to an upper control limit
associated with a forward driving mode, decreasing the power generated by the
generator 310, if the state of charge is equal to or greater than the associated upper

Abstract: A process for producing a polyphenylene ether, which
comprises: contacting, with an aqueous solution of a
chelating agent, a polyphenylene ether solution obtained
by polymerization in a non-water-soluble polymerization
solvent for a polyphenylene ether in the presence of a
catalyst, to terminate the polymerization and
deactivating the catalyst; and adding a water-soluble
poor solvent for the polyphenylene ether to precipitate
the polyphenylene ether; and recovering the thus
precipitated polyphenylene ether, wherein (a) the contact
with the chelating agent aqueous solution is carried out
by holding the polyphenylene ether solution and the
chelating agent aqueous solution at a temperature of from
50 to 120°C for 10 to 180 minutes, wherein (b) a mixture
remaining after the recovery of the polyphenylene ether,
which contains the non-water-soluble polymerization
solvent and water-soluble poor solvent, is brought into
contact with water to extract the water-soluble poor
solvent, and a water phase containing the thus extracted
water-soluble poor solvent is recovered by separation,
and wherein (c) the water-soluble poor solvent is
separated and removed from the water phase by
distillation, and the whole or a part of the remaining 
water phase is recycled as water to be brought into
contact with the mixture, the remaining water phase
having a content of a high-boiling-point organic
substance of 1 wt.% or less.

Abstract: A method of packaging print media in combination with a printing device enables the printing device to automatically determine the type of media, and its characteristics and attributes, loaded in a media input tray. The print media package includes a pre-cut or perforated line which allows the removal of one end of the package forming a partial package exposing one end of sheets of the print media and encasing the print media. The print media is loaded in the media input tray encased in the partial package with the exposed ends of the print media sheets accessible to the printing device feed roller. The print media package includes an identifying code imprinted on an outside surface of the package located on the remaining portion of the package when the package end has been removed. The media input tray includes a sensor mounted in a location accessible to the identifying code when the print media encased in the partial package is loaded in the media input tray. When the loaded media input tray is inserted in the printing device, the sensor reads the identifying code and transmits the encoded information to the printing device control circuitry where the printing device media settings are updated.

Abstract: The present invention concerns fusion of Fc domains with biologically active peptides and a process for preparing pharmaceutical agents using biologically active peptides. In this invention, pharmacologically active compounds are prepared by a process comprising: a) selecting at least one peptide that modulates the activity of a protein of interest; and b) preparing a pharmacologic agent comprising an Fc domain covalently linked to at least one amino acid of the selected peptide. Linkage to the vehicle increases the half-life of the peptide, which otherwise would be quickly degraded in vivo. The preferred vehicle is an Fc domain. The peptide can be selected, for example, by phage display, E.coli display, ribosome display, RNA-peptide screening, yeast-based screening, chemical-peptide screening, rational design, or protein structural analysis.

Abstract: A method for determining magnitude and direction of spectral channel drift for several consecutive spectral regions over a wide spectral range. According to the method of the present invention, in-field testing of a spectral filter sequentially irradiated by two blackbody sources is performed to generate a response function of the spectral filter. The response function is ensemble averaged to reduce any noise. Background radiance is then removed to produce a smoothed spectral transmittance function of the spectral filter. The first derivative function of the smoothed spectral transmittance function is determined. The first derivative function is separated into spectral band regions having +/- N pixels on either side of the function minima. The value of N is selected to optimize the detection algorithm sensitivity to change while extending the limit of spectral shift magnitude. The sum of the differences between the first derivative function and a reference spectral derivative function is determined. The difference result is applied to a look-up table to determine magnitude and direction of spectral drift for each of the separated spectral band regions. Use of the present invention can provide information on spectral distortion or spectral smile for 2-D focal plane arrays used for hyperspectral imaging.
