Abstract: An apparatus is described for extracorporeal blood treatment (1), comprising a treatment unit (2), an extracorporeal blood circuit (8) and a fluid evacuation line (10). The apparatus comprises a control unit (21) connected with a pressure sensor (13, 14) and with a blood pump (9) and configured to move the blood pump (9), generating a variable flow (Q(t)) with a constant component (Q b ) and a variable component (Qvar(t)) having a nil average value; the variable flow generates, in the expansion chamber (11, 12), a progression of the pressure that is variable over time (P(t)) with a pressure component (Pvar(t)) oscillating about an average value (P avg ). The control unit receives, from the sensor, a plurality of values (P j ) and calculates the average value of the pressure (P avg ), acquires an estimated value of volume variation (P) in the expansion chamber (11, 12) connected to the variable flow component (Qvar(t)), calculates, as a function of the pressure values (P j ), an estimated value of pressure variation (P) in the expansion chamber (11; 12) that is representative of the oscillating pressure component (Pvar(t)) and determines a representative magnitude of a blood level (L) in the expansion chamber (11, 12) as a function of the average value (P avg ) of the pressure (P(t)), of the estimated value of volume variation (V) and of the estimated pressure variation (P) in the expansion chamber.

IPC: B60T8/26

Abstract: It is an object to provide a brake apparatus which can achieve front-rear distribution in accordance with a traveling environment variation. 
     At an intermediate point Pm from a start point 0 of a second mode first interval to an end point of a second mode second interval, the increasing rate of braking force for a front wheel (11f) with respect to an operation amount is changed. The increasing rate of the operation amount to the point Pm can be represented by an inclination α1 of a curve. The increasing rate of the operation amount after the point Pm is represented by an inclination α2 of the curve. Preferably, the inclinations α1 and α2 are set so as to satisfy α1 < α2. 
     By setting the increasing rate after an intermediate point Pm so as to be higher than the increasing rate before the intermediate point Pm, the vehicle body generation deceleration can be caused to increase in a linear proportion to the operation amount. Where the vehicle body generation deceleration increases in a linear proportion to the operation amount, at an initial stage of braking (when the operation amount is small), the variation amount of the braking force of the front and rear wheels (11f,11r) can be made small giving priority to posture control, but in the latter half of the braking (when the operation amount is great), priority is given to the braking action.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting dynamic RF-link margin tests in an electronic toll collection for non-stationary vehicles travelling up to highway speed. The system maintains a list of candidate transponders and, during the course of a normal toll collection, if a transponder is on the list then the system schedules a margin test for a later handshake in the capture zone. At a location at or near the peak margin test the system conducts a margin test during one or more of the reader-transponder handshakes. The attenuation may be dynamically controlled by the system using a variable attenuator in the RF path from the reader RF module to the antenna. Distributing the margin measurement over multiple passes of a vehicle through the capture zone provides for a highway speed method of measuring link margin.
