Stratified Diesel Fuel-Water-Diesel Fuel Injection Combined with EGR-The Most Efficient In-Cylinder NOx and PM Reduction Technology (1997)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">For meeting 21st-century exhaust emission standards for HD diesel engines, new methods are necessary for reducing NOx and PM emissions without increasing fuel consumption. The stratified diesel fuel-water-diesel fuel (DWD) injection in combination with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is as a means for NOx and PM reduction without any negative effect on fuel economy. The investigation was performed on a charged HD single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine with a modern low-swirl combustion system, 4-valve technology and high pressure injection. The application of DWD injection combined with EGR resulted in a 60 percent lower NOx emission at full load and a 75 percent reduced NOx emission at part load when compared with present day (EURO II) technology. This was achieved without any fuel economy penalty, but with an additional PM emission reduction. The European EURO IV emission limits under discussion of NOx &lt; 3.0 g/kWh and PM &lt; 0.01 g/kWh appear to be achievable with retained fuel economy. The disadvantage of the DWD+EGR technology, however, is the fairly large expenditure. Particularly for vehicle application some more technical solutions will have to be developed, e.g. anti-freezing and safety functions in case of water failure.</div>

A spatial image hierarchy for compression in image-based-rendering (2005)

Image-based rendering (IBR) systems create photorealistic views of complex 3D environments by resampling large collections of images captured in the environment. The quality of the resampled images increases significantly with higher image capture density. Thus, a significant challenge in interactive IBR systems is to provide both fast image access along arbitrary viewpoint paths and efficient storage of large image data sets. We describe a compression scheme based on a spatial image hierarchy that meets the requirements of interactive IBR walkthroughs. By exploiting image coherence over the entire image capture plane, we achieve compression performance similar to traditional motion-compensated schema, e.g., MPEG, yet allow image access along arbitrary paths. Furthermore, by exploiting graphics hardware for image resampling, we achieve interactive display rates during IBR walkthroughs.
RFID Asset Management Solution with Cloud Computation Service (2012)

This work proposes the deployment of a web-based architecture of an RFID tracking solution. An extensive literature survey has been conducted to find existing RFID web based architectures and the current requirements of supply chain based organizations. These findings were used to design a web based RFID tracking system with a goal of reducing set up time and infrastructure for the client. The architecture attempts to depart from the typical localized approach of most RFID middlewares. The middleware has been replaced by a web service residing in a cloud. The traditional roles of the middleware such as tag data filtering, sorting, storage and event processing have been redistributed amongst an RFID reader-based application and the web service. This architecture provides more flexibility and control to large scale RFID-based supply chain operations which are global in nature and unsuitable to the traditional localizediiimiddleware based architecture of RFID tracking solutions. The feasibility of the web based architecture is further augmented by validating performance parameters such as tag processing and primitive and complex event processing delay. Different kinds of RFID readers are also tested to ensure the suitability of the architecture. Different sub-architectures are proposed based on performance data for different scales of operations. Event processing capability on a reader device is demonstrated and tested, where occurrence of certain specified sequence of events results in automated notifications sent to the clients by means of e-mail, text messaging etc. It is concluded that for small number of tag operations (&lt;400) or small scale businesses, performing complex event processing at the reader level is faster and more economical. For large scale tag operations (&gt;400), performing only partial event processing at the reader level leads to lowest event trigger delays.Finally, the event processing algorithm is demonstrated as a proof of concept for an RFID enabled parking lot to control and schedule charging and discharging of EV's and inform their users of the charge status. The RFID triggered events are used to automatically set charge/discharge preferences of the EV owner for the duration for which the EV is parked. This was supplemented by designing a charge/discharge algorithm to optimize the consumption of energy by parking lots.

Liquid Fall-Back Measurements in Intermittent Gas Lift with Plunger (1993)

Abstract This work represents the first part of a three - stage research program that consists of: a) lab scale test; b) Held scale test in an experimental well and c) adjustment of existing mathematical models based on experimental test and actual oil wells. The objective of this first stage was not to develop mathematical correlations that can be applied in the field, but to gather well controlled data that can be used to look for trends and test simple theoretical models. The experimental results of liquid fall-back measurements in intermittent gas lift are presented. The variation of liquid fall-back with changing injection pressures, amount of gas injected and initial liquid column above the plunger are described. The plunger velocity is measured by means of proximity sensors able to detect the metallic plunger. The amount of liquid produced is determined in two ways: a) by using a weighting tank separator at the tubing outlet and b) by using pressure transducers in the bottom of the production tubing which measure liquid column height, before and after the gas injection. The experimental work was carried out using 2 3/8" tubing of 63 ft in length. The liquid being lifted was water and compressed air was used to lift the water.

Randomized Controlled Trial of a Monoclonal Antibody against the Interleukin-2 Receptor (33B3.1) as Compared with Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin for Prophylaxis against Rejection of Renal Allografts (1990)

Interleukin-2 is a major growth factor for activated T lymphocytes, and antibodies reacting with the Tac-chain component of the interleukin-2 receptor can prevent allograft rejection in animals. Because Tac chains are expressed only on a small fraction of activated lymphocytes, monoclonal antibodies against the interleukin-2 receptor may offer a more specific means of immunosuppression than polyclonal antilymphocyte globulin in prophylaxis against graft rejection. Therefore, we compared the immunosuppressive effect of 33B3.1, a rat monoclonal antibody against the human Tac chain, with the effect of a rabbit polyclonal antithymocyte globulin in a randomized study of 100 recipients of first renal transplants. Injections of 33B3.1 (10 mg per day) were tolerated well, whereas major side effects in 15 of 47 patients (32 percent) receiving antithymocyte globulin required discontinuation of treatment before day 14. The incidence of rejection episodes was not statistically different in the two groups at days 14, 30, 60, and 90 after transplantation. Patient and graft survival was also equal in the two groups at one year (96 and 85 percent, respectively, in both groups), and graft function was similar. The total number of infectious episodes within the first three months was lower in the 33B3.1 group than in the antithymocyte group (47 vs. 72). The drop in peripheral-blood lymphocyte concentrations was significantly larger in the patients treated with antithymocyte globulin. The level of circulating Tac-chain-bearing lymphocytes remained below 1 percent during 33B3.1 treatment, as compared with 4 to 5 percent during antithymocyte-globulin treatment (P not significant). We conclude that 33B3.1 is as effective as antithymocyte globulin in the prevention of renal-transplant rejection, and its use results in fewer infections and side effects.
Receptor subtypes mediating adenosine-induced dilation of cerebral arterioles (2001)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the receptor subtypes that mediate the dilation of rat intracerebral arterioles elicited by adenosine. Penetrating arterioles were isolated from the rat brain, cannulated with the use of a micropipette system, and luminally pressurized to 60 mmHg. Both adenosine and the A2A receptor-selective agonist CGS-21680 induced dose-dependent vasodilation (-logEC(50): 6.5 +/- 0.2 and 8.6 +/- 0.3, respectively). However, adenosine, which is capable of activating both A2A and A2B receptors, caused a greater maximal dilation than CGS-21680. The A2A receptor-selective antagonist ZM-241385 (0.1 microM) only partially inhibited the dilation induced by adenosine but almost completely blocked CGS-21680-induced dilation. Neither 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (0.1 microM), an A1 receptor-selective antagonist, nor MRS-1191 (0.1 microM), an A3 receptor-selective antagonist, attenuated adenosine dose responses. Moreover, ZM-241385 had no effect on the dilation induced by ATP (10 microM) or acidic (pH 6.8) buffer. We concluded that the A2A receptor subtype mediates adenosine-induced dilation of intracerebral arterioles in the rat brain. Furthermore, our results suggest that A2B receptors may also participate in the dilation response to adenosine.
Silicon photonic microring components for on-chip WDM networks (2013)

Silicon photonics has matured to become an important platform for photonics integrated circuits (PICs) due to its compatibility with the CMOS process, which enables electronics and photonics to be integrated on the same chip. One of the main applications driving silicon photonics is on-chip WDM networks for optical interconnects. These applications often require add-drop filters with high frequency selectivity and low group delay dispersion. In this paper we give an overview of recent progress in the development of advanced silicon PICs based on microring resonators for WDM filter applications. The issue of post-fabrication tuning of silicon components to correct for fabrication imperfections will also be addressed.
Isolation and Characterization of a Soluble NADPH-Dependent Fe(III) Reductase from <i>Geobacter sulfurreducens</i> (2001)

NADPH is an intermediate in the oxidation of organic compounds coupled to Fe(III) reduction in Geobacter species, but Fe(III) reduction with NADPH as the electron donor has not been studied in these organisms. Crude extracts of Geobacter sulfurreducens catalyzed the NADPH-dependent reduction of Fe(III)-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). The responsible enzyme, which was recovered in the soluble protein fraction, was purified to apparent homogeneity in a four-step procedure. Its specific activity for Fe(III) reduction was 65 micromol. min(-1). mg(-1). The soluble Fe(III) reductase was specific for NADPH and did not utilize NADH as an electron donor. Although the enzyme reduced several forms of Fe(III), Fe(III)-NTA was the preferred electron acceptor. The protein possessed methyl viologen:NADP(+) oxidoreductase activity and catalyzed the reduction of NADP(+) with reduced methyl viologen as electron donor at a rate of 385 U/mg. The enzyme consisted of two subunits with molecular masses of 87 and 78 kDa and had a native molecular mass of 320 kDa, as determined by gel filtration. The purified enzyme contained 28.9 mol of Fe, 17.4 mol of acid-labile sulfur, and 0.7 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide per mol of protein. The genes encoding the two subunits were identified in the complete sequence of the G. sulfurreducens genome from the N-terminal amino acid sequences derived from the subunits of the purified protein. The sequences of the two subunits had about 30% amino acid identity to the respective subunits of the formate dehydrogenase from Moorella thermoacetica, but the soluble Fe(III) reductase did not possess formate dehydrogenase activity. This soluble Fe(III) reductase differs significantly from previously characterized dissimilatory and assimilatory Fe(III) reductases in its molecular composition and cofactor content.
Low Power Near Field Communication Methods for RFID Applications of SIM Cards (2017)

Power consumption and communication distance have become crucial challenges for SIM card RFID (radio frequency identification) applications. The combination of long distance 2.45 GHz radio frequency (RF) technology and low power 2 kHz near distance communication is a workable scheme. In this paper, an ultra-low frequency 2 kHz near field communication (NFC) method suitable for SIM cards is proposed and verified in silicon. The low frequency transmission model based on electromagnetic induction is discussed. Different transmission modes are introduced and compared, which show that the baseband transmit mode has a better performance. The low-pass filter circuit and programmable gain amplifiers are applied for noise reduction and signal amplitude amplification. Digital-to-analog converters and comparators are used to judge the card approach and departure. A novel differential Manchester decoder is proposed to deal with the internal clock drift in range-controlled communication applications. The chip has been fully implemented in 0.18 µm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, with a 330 µA work current and a 45 µA idle current. The low frequency chip can be integrated into a radio frequency SIM card for near field RFID applications.
Highly reliable process insensitive 3.3 V-5 V interface circuit (2003)

By adopting a new process-insensitive output circuit, with a depression-type transistor and a new DC current free input circuit, a highly reliable 3.3-V-5-V interface circuit has been developed. Using a separated input-output structure, the circuit achieves a wide operating voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and a wide process margin. A reliable n-p-n lateral bipolar device yields a high ESD failure threshold. The circuit is fabricated by means of a 0.6- mu m standard CMOS process without multioxide.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Serial concatenated trellis coded modulation with rate-1 inner code (2002)

We develop new, low complexity turbo codes suitable for bandwidth and power limited systems, for very low bit and word error rate requirements. Motivated by the structure of previously discovered low complexity codes such as repeat-accumulate (RA) codes with low density parity check matrix, we extend the structure to high-level modulation such as 8PSK, and 16QAM. The structure consists of a simple 4-state convolutional or short block code as an outer code, and a rate-1, 2 or 4-state inner code. Two design criteria are proposed: the maximum likelihood design criterion, for short to moderate block sizes, and an iterative decoding design criterion for very long block sizes.
Complete endovascular debranching of the aortic arch: A report of two cases (2014)

Patients suffering from aortic arch aneurysms continue to encounter few treatment options. Because of co-morbidities, most are deemed to not be open surgical candidates. The two cases presented here demonstrate a novel endovascular approach in the care of an arch aneurysm complicated by dissection. Even though final graft configurations differed slightly between the two cases, all three great vessels were successfully de-branched through the combination of standard endovascular aneurysm repair techniques and modifications to off-the-shelf devices. Aortic flow was compartmentalized in the ascending aorta at or near the level of the sinotubular junction. This was done with a physician-assembled endografts. One of these lumens was dedicated to the descending aorta, while the other was further divided into three channels used to stent the great vessels. Completion angiography demonstrated patency in the arch, great vessels, and descending aorta. No endoleaks have been reported. Although data is limited, this approach appears promising.
The Psychosocial Impact of Self-Reported Morning Allergy Symptoms: Findings from an Australian Internet-Based Survey (2010)

Background. Allergies can substantially impact health-related quality of life (HRQL). We investigated the psychosocial impact of morning symptoms amongst Australian adults with self-reported allergic rhinitis (AR). Method. An online survey comprising 24 questions was conducted in August 2008. Inclusion criteria were age (20-49 years) and self-reported moderate to severe symptoms of AR. Results. One thousand sixty respondents met the inclusion criteria. Amongst consumers with self-reported AR, symptoms were more severe in the morning in 597 (56%) and affected mood in 1025 (97%). Nine hundred seventy (91%) indicated that their symptoms had some impact on their day ahead and 868 (82%) reported a negative impact on relationships. Morning symptoms in particular had a substantial affect on mood for the day. HRQL impact was more pronounced in those who reported severe symptoms and in females. Discussion. Encouraging consumers with self-diagnosed AR to seek formal diagnosis and offering appropriate treatment strategies, such as those offering sustained effectiveness over 24-hours, may aid in negating the negative impact of morning symptoms.
An exhaust pressure control strategy for a diesel engine (2004)

A control method has been developed that uses exhaust manifold pressure measurements to regulate the turbine nozzle vane position on a turbocharged diesel engine with variable-geometry turbocharger during transient operation. Significant reductions in exhaust manifold pressures are achieved without degrading the turbocharger response and, overall, engine behaviour is improved through more rapid torque delivery, lower transient smoke and improved aircharge stability immediately after the transient.
Electrophoresis of Hemoglobin on Polyacrylamide Gels: Precise Method for Measurement of Hemoglobin A2 (1973)

Abstract Hemoglobin electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels is a technique applicable in the clinical laboratory that processes moderately large numbers of specimens. Rapid and precise, it yields reproducible quantitative data when the hemoglobins are eluted from the gel and their concentrations determined spectrophotometrically. Hemoglobin A2 measurements were reproducible and did not differ from those measured by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Concentrations of hemoglobin A2 in the blood of patients with sickle cell anemia were significantly higher than in normal individuals and individuals with sickle trait, but significantly lower than is the case for patients with beta-thalassemia minor.
Single Crystal Anisotropy and Magnetostriction Constants of Several Ferromagnetic Materials Including Alloys of NiFe, SiFe, AlFe, CoNi, and CoFe (1959)

The anisotropy and magnetostriction of single crystals of several ferromagnetic materials have been determined experimentally. The materials include the metals iron and nickel, binary alloys of nickel iron, silicon iron, aluminum iron, cobalt nickel, and cobalt iron, ternary alloys of molybdenum nickel iron, nickel cobalt iron, and molybdenum aluminum iron, and magnetite. The effect of the order-disorder reaction on these properties was measured for several of the alloys. The present data for the nickel iron and silicon iron systems agree well with recently published values. Ordering generally raises the magnetostriction and lowers the anisotropy of the aluminum iron alloys near the Fe3Al composition. The first anisotropy constant, K1, for the cobalt nickel system as derived from torque curves is similar to old data derived from magnetization curves. However, K1 for cobalt iron (30, 35, and 45% cobalt) appears to be considerably larger than previously reported. In general, the addition of cobalt to nickel and to iron changes the magnetostriction constants (λ100 and λ111) toward large positive values. Thus, λ100 increases to 100×10−6 for 50% cobalt nickel and to 130×10−6 for 45% cobalt iron; λ111 increases to 30×10−6 for 45% cobalt iron but remains approximately constant for the cobalt nickel alloys.
Estimates of velocity dispersion between seismic and ultrasonic frequencies (1986)

Abstract It is generally accepted that acoustic velocities in fluid-saturated rocks vary with frequency. Evidence comes from experimental measurements and from theoretical causality arguments. We have developed a simple analysis technique that gives estimates of total velocity dispersion between zero frequency and any measurement frequency. The technique requires compressional (P) and shear (S) wave velocity measurements on dry and fully saturated rock. Assuming that the dry velocities are independent of frequency, the Biot-Gassmann equations are used to calculate the zero-frequency velocities in the fully saturated rock. Any difference between the measured velocities and the calculated zero-frequency velocities is interpreted as evidence of dispersion.Application of this analysis technique to a variety c ultrasonic data sets gives consistent results. In many rocks, dispersion between zero frequency and ultrasonic frequencies is on the order of 10 percent at low effective stress, and it decreases to only a few percent at higher stresses. Dispersion varies with degree of saturation and with fluid viscosity in the same way as do low-frequency attenuation measurements. The results are readily interpreted in terms of the same local-flow absorption/dispersion mechanism that has been used to explain recent laboratory attenuation measurements. This apparent dispersion places upper bounds on seismic-to-sonic velocity differences. It also points out possible discrepancies between seismic velocities and ultrasonic laboratory measurements.
