:NA<br />
In one aspect, the present invention provides a two-element ophthalmic lens in which a lateral shift <strong>of</strong> the elements relative to one<br />
another can cause a variation not only in a spherical power provided by the lens but also in spherical aberration exhibited by that lens.<br />
In some implementations, the thickness pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> the two elements are designed such that the variation in spherical aberration is<br />
positively correlated with that <strong>of</strong> the spherical power <strong>of</strong> the lens.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
The present invention generally provides multifocal ophthalmic lenses, e.g., multifocal intraocular lenses, that employ a central<br />
refractive region for providing a refractive focusing power <strong>and</strong> a diffractive region for providing two diffractive focusing powers. In<br />
many cases, the refractive focusing power provided by the lens’s central region corresponds to a far-focusing power that is<br />
substantially equal to one <strong>of</strong> the diffractive focusing powers while the other diffractive power corresponds to a near-focusing power.<br />
As such, in many cases, the focusing properties <strong>of</strong> the lenses are dominated by the far-focus ability, especially for small pupil sizes.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
Embodiments <strong>of</strong> the invention relate for rendering translucent objects. According to some embodiments, the color <strong>of</strong> a pixel <strong>of</strong> a<br />
translucent object that is not directly illuminated by a light source can be determined by decaying the illumination contributed by the<br />
light source according to a predefined decay function. The decay function may be, for example, an exponential decay function. The<br />
decay function may be evaluated based on an initial illumination contributed by the light source, <strong>and</strong> a transmittance distance. In some<br />
embodiments, the initial color <strong>of</strong> the pixel is decayed instead <strong>of</strong> the illumination. Also disclosed is modifying the renderings <strong>of</strong><br />
different regions <strong>of</strong> an object which have been rendered using different methods in order to remove sharp contrasts between these<br />
regions.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
The central venous sensor assembly (1) comprises a catheler body (2) with several proximal ports (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d). The catheler<br />
portion placed in the vena cava superior (4) is equipped with a proximal flux measurement unit (6), <strong>and</strong> the catheter portion placed in<br />
the vena cava inferior (5) is equipped with a distal flux measurement unit (7) A first input channel (8) supplies a measurement signal<br />
indicative <strong>of</strong> a flux vp to the evaluation unit (10) <strong>from</strong> which the latter calculates a blood flow in me vena cava superior (4). Likewise,<br />
a second input channel (9) supplies a measurement signal indicative <strong>of</strong> a flux vp to the evaluation unit (10) <strong>from</strong> which the latter<br />
calculates a blood flow rate in the vena cava inferior (5). Due to continuity, the sum <strong>of</strong> the flow rates in the upper <strong>and</strong> lower central<br />
veins (4, 5) corresponds to the flow rate through the right heart (11) <strong>and</strong> in the pulmonary artery (12) <strong>and</strong> thus to cardiac output.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
A method for improving fuel cell system reliability in the event <strong>of</strong> end cell heater failure in a fuel cell stack. The method includes<br />
detecting that an end cell heater has failed. If an end cell heater failure is detected, then he method performs one or more <strong>of</strong> setting a<br />
cooling fluid pump to a predetermined speed that drives a cooling fluid through cooling fluid flow channels in the fuel cell stack,<br />
limiting the output power <strong>of</strong> the fuel cell stack or the net power <strong>of</strong> one fuel cell system, limiting the maximum temperature <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cooling fluid flowing out <strong>of</strong> the stack, turning <strong>of</strong>f stack anti-flooding algorithms that may be used to remove water <strong>from</strong> reactant gas<br />
flow channels in the stack, <strong>and</strong> turning <strong>of</strong> cathode stoichiometry adjustments for relative humidity control in response to water<br />
accumulating in cathode flow channels in the fuel cell stack.<br />

A system for bleeding the anode side <strong>of</strong> first <strong>and</strong> second split fuel cell stacks in a fuel cell system that employs anode flow-shifting,<br />
where each split stack includes a bleed valve. The system determines that one or both <strong>of</strong> the bleed valves is stuck in an open position if<br />
there is flow through an orifice <strong>and</strong> a bleed has not been comm<strong>and</strong>ed. A shut-<strong>of</strong>f valve is then used to provide the bleed if the cathode<br />
exhaust gas is able to dilute the hydrogen in the bled anode exhaust gas. An outlet valve between the first <strong>and</strong> second split stacks is<br />
used to bleed the anode exhaust gas if the cathode exhaust gas is not significant enough to dilute the hydrogen in the anode exhaust<br />
gas. If the first or second bleed valve is stuck in the closed position, then the outlet valve is used to provide the bleed.<br />

A starting system is provided for delivering pressurized fuel to an engine to start the engine without a starter. The starting system<br />
includes an accumulator for storing pressurized fuel during engine operation <strong>and</strong> engine shut-down. During engine start-up, the<br />
accumulator delivers the stored pressurized fuel to the engine to start the engine. The accumulator is in fluid communication with a<br />
low pressure fuel reservoir <strong>and</strong> the engine. The accumulator includes an accumulator housing defining an accumulator cavity <strong>and</strong><br />
including an accumulator piston <strong>and</strong> spring assembly, which is moveable longitudinally within the accumulator cavity. An electronic<br />
control module (ECM) is in electronic control with the starting system <strong>and</strong> the engine. The ECM is operable to activate the<br />
accumulator, forcing pressurized fuel stored within the accumulator into a high-pressure fuel line for injection into the engine, to<br />
generate at least one starting combustion event to start the engine without a starter.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
An engine cylinder head has an exhaust manifold cast in the cylinder head. A turbocharger with a turbine body is adapted to mount<br />
directly to an exhaust outlet mounting face <strong>of</strong> the exhaust manifold. A dual level water jacket within the cylinder head has separate<br />
coolant feeds for upper <strong>and</strong> lower cooling jackets. The cooling jackets extend above <strong>and</strong> below the exhaust outlet <strong>and</strong> are connected<br />
inward <strong>of</strong> the exhaust mounting face to reduce metal temperatures <strong>of</strong> the mounting face below those <strong>of</strong> the turbocharger exhaust inlet<br />
flange. Separate cores for the upper <strong>and</strong> lower jackets are connected at coolant inlet <strong>and</strong> outlet locations at opposite ends. Intermediate<br />
core print connectors form controlled flow passages between the upper <strong>and</strong> lower jackets <strong>and</strong> exhaust ports in the cylinder head <strong>and</strong><br />
integrated manifold. The improved cooling in these areas lowers operating temperatures in the cylinder head <strong>and</strong> obviates the need for<br />
a separate exhaust manifold.<br />

An electrically-variable transmission is provided with first <strong>and</strong> second motor/generators <strong>and</strong> three planetary gear assemblies. At least<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the planetary gear assemblies is a planetary gear assembly having multiple planetary gear sets. As a result, the gears for the<br />
planetary gear assembly can be represented on multiple radial planes. Each <strong>of</strong> the planetary gear assemblies has continuous<br />
interconnections, <strong>and</strong> selective connections via a plurality <strong>of</strong> torque-transmitting mechanisms, that provide three forward electricallyvariable<br />
modes. Preferably, the planetary gear assemblies are connected to one another in such a manner as to allow shifting between<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the electrically-variable modes to occur at a point <strong>of</strong>fset <strong>from</strong> a mechanical power flow <strong>of</strong> the transmission. This decreases the<br />
maximum power output required <strong>from</strong> the motor/generators.<br />

A vehicle includes an engine, a controller for turning <strong>of</strong>f the engine when the vehicle is idle, a motor/generator for starting the engine,<br />
an inverter for converting a DC auxiliary voltage <strong>from</strong> a battery into an AC voltage for powering the motor/generator, <strong>and</strong> a device for<br />
isolating a DC voltage <strong>from</strong> the DC auxiliary voltage to prevent voltage sag in a vehicle system during engine starting. The device<br />
includes a transformer, a rectifier/regulator, <strong>and</strong> an isolator. A mechanical relay opens, or an FET is activated, to isolate the DC<br />
voltage during engine start. A method for preventing voltage sag in an auxiliary vehicle system includes detecting a comm<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
engine start, comparing a measured auxiliary voltage to a threshold, isolating a predetermined DC voltage <strong>from</strong> a DC auxiliary voltage<br />
when the measured auxiliary voltage is less than the threshold, <strong>and</strong> powering the auxiliary vehicle system using the isolated DC<br />
voltage.<br />

A tinted color value is produced for a surface <strong>of</strong> an object in a computer generated scene. The surface is illuminated by a light source<br />
having a lighting color value associated with the light source. A first reflected color value is calculated for the surface. The first<br />
reflected color value is calculated based on an assumption that the surface is illuminated by while light rather than the lighting color<br />
value associated with the light source. A desaturated color value is computed using the first reflected color value. A tinted color value<br />
is computed by combining the desaturated color value with the lighting color value associated with the light source. The tinted color<br />
value is stored.<br />

An object <strong>of</strong> the present invention is to provide a method for producing a resin-coated sliding member wherein the method ensures the<br />
productivity <strong>and</strong> at the same time enables the recycling <strong>of</strong> the solvent so as to be friendly to the environment. According to the present<br />
invention, included are a coating step in which a porous sintered layer prepared by sintering on a back metal is impregnated with a<br />
solvent-containing resin composition, a heating step to heat the solvent <strong>and</strong> the resin composition <strong>and</strong> a collecting step to collect the<br />
solvent wherein the vaporized solvent is sucked, liquefied <strong>and</strong> collected; <strong>and</strong> hence even when a solvent having a high boiling point<br />
<strong>and</strong> a low vapor pressure is used, the solvent can be collected efficiently by applying a low energy, <strong>and</strong> the collected solvent is<br />
recycled so as to be friendly to the environment <strong>and</strong> to enable the reduction <strong>of</strong> the consumed raw materials.<br />

A vehicle includes a powertrain system <strong>and</strong> a friction braking system, the powertrain system including a hybrid transmission operative<br />
in one <strong>of</strong> a fixed gear operating range state <strong>and</strong> a continuously variable operating range state to transmit torque between an input<br />
member <strong>and</strong> a torque machine <strong>and</strong> an output member coupled to a driveline. A method for operating the vehicle includes monitoring<br />
operator inputs to an accelerator pedal <strong>and</strong> a brake pedal, monitoring vehicle speed, maintaining the transmission in a present<br />
operating range state subsequent to the operator disengaging the accelerator pedal absent the operator engaging the brake pedal,<br />
transitioning the transmission device to a continuously variable operating range state subsequent to the operator disengaging the<br />
accelerator pedal <strong>and</strong> the operator engaging the brake pedal, executing regenerative braking by controlling the torque machine to react<br />

A vehicle driveline includes a hybrid transmission, having a mass damper that provides noise <strong>and</strong> vibration damping over a broad<br />
range <strong>of</strong> frequencies. The damper provides damping at a desired frequency <strong>and</strong> all greater frequencies to act as a low pass filter for<br />
noise <strong>and</strong> vibration. A specific mass <strong>and</strong> inertia for the damper are selected to target the desired frequency range. Due to the hybrid<br />
design <strong>of</strong> the transmission the energy that is used to rotate the damper <strong>and</strong> provide the desired inertia is recovered by at least one<br />
motor/generator within the transmission during deceleration <strong>of</strong> the vehicle.<br />

are determined by defining minimum input speeds for each potential transmission operating range state, <strong>and</strong> ascribing biasing costs to<br />
potential transmission input speeds which are slower than the minimum input speeds defined for each potential transmission operating<br />
range state. A single transmission input speed is selected <strong>and</strong> preferability factors are determined, which are preferentially weighted to<br />
enable selective comm<strong>and</strong>ment <strong>of</strong> changes in the transmission operating range state <strong>and</strong> engine state.<br />

An internal combustion engine is mechanically coupled to a hybrid transmission to transmit mechanical power to an output member.<br />
A method for controlling the internal combustion engine includes determining an accelerator output torque request based upon an<br />
operator input to the accelerator pedal, <strong>and</strong> determining an axle torque response type. A preferred input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine to the<br />
hybrid transmission is determined based upon the accelerator output torque request. An allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the<br />
engine which can be reacted with the hybrid transmission is determined based upon the accelerator output torque request <strong>and</strong> the axle<br />
torque response type. The engine is controlled to meet the preferred input torque when the preferred input torque is within the<br />
allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine. The engine is controlled within the allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine<br />
when the preferred input torque is outside the allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torques <strong>from</strong> the engine.<br />

combustion engine <strong>and</strong> the electro-mechanical transmission to meet the operator torque request for each engine operating point within<br />
each <strong>of</strong> the subregions, <strong>and</strong> iteratively identifying the subregion having a minimum operating cost to meet the operator torque request.<br />
A preferred engine operating point is determined based upon the engine operating point within the identified subregion having the<br />
minimum operating cost to meet the operator torque request.<br />

A hybrid powertrain is provided that includes an engine operatively connected with an input member. The powertrain includes a<br />
transmission with first <strong>and</strong> second electric motor/generators, a differential gear set having multiple members, <strong>and</strong> selectively<br />
engagable torque-transmitting mechanisms. The input member, the output member, the engine <strong>and</strong> the motor/generators are<br />
selectively interconnected through the differential gear set by engagement <strong>of</strong> the torque-transmitting mechanisms in different<br />
combinations. An electronic controller controls the electric motor/generators, the engine <strong>and</strong> the torque-transmitting mechanisms to<br />
provide multiple operating modes between the input member <strong>and</strong> the output member, including an electric-only operating mode in<br />
which the engine is <strong>of</strong>f <strong>and</strong> one motor generator acts as a motor to provide torque at the output member while the other electric<br />
motor/generator can remain substantially stationary, <strong>and</strong> another electric-only operating mode in which both electric motor/generators<br />
act as motors to provide torque at the output member.<br />

A hybrid power system for a vehicle includes an engine, an input shaft, an output shaft, a transmission mechanism, a primary electric<br />
motor, a secondary electric motor, a power coupling mechanism, a driving wheel, a battery, <strong>and</strong> a controller. The primary electric<br />
motor is pivotally coupled to the crankshaft <strong>of</strong> the engine, <strong>and</strong> the secondary electric motor to the input shaft. The controller can<br />
govern, selectively, the secondary electric motor to drive the driving wheel for rotation; <strong>and</strong>/or the primary electric motor drives the<br />
crankshaft for rotation <strong>and</strong> then starts the engine so as to output power to drive the driving wheel for rotation. Therefore, the primary<br />
electric motor can start the engine directly, <strong>and</strong> depending on the vehicle’s traveling condition, the controller can govern the timing for<br />
the secondary electric motor <strong>and</strong> the engine to drive the driving wheel directly through the transmission system so as to transmit the<br />
power to the driving wheel, such that the vehicle can be ridden in a status <strong>of</strong> optimal energy-consumption rate.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
A catheter enables real-time light measurements, for example, without limitation, diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, etc., <strong>from</strong><br />
biological materials, such as tissue (including blood), while performing RF ablation. The catheter tip design isolates illumination <strong>and</strong><br />
collection paths such that light exits the catheter tip <strong>and</strong> travels through the tissue <strong>of</strong> interest (e.g., cardiac tissue or blood) before<br />
returning to the catheter tip. Such a design advantageously avoids saturation <strong>of</strong> the optical detector, <strong>and</strong> ensures diffusion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
illumination light within the medium <strong>of</strong> interest. The catheter has a catheter body <strong>and</strong> a tip electrode. The tip electrode has an exterior<br />
shell, an inner layer <strong>of</strong> diffuse material <strong>and</strong> a hollow cavity, wherein the inner layer is configured to transmit light outside the tip<br />
electrode to a tissue via a set <strong>of</strong> illumination openings in the shell wall <strong>and</strong> the hollow cavity is configured to receive light <strong>from</strong> the<br />
tissue via a set <strong>of</strong> collection openings in the shell wall <strong>and</strong> the inner layer. An inner surface <strong>of</strong> the inner layer has an opaque coating to<br />
isolate light injected into the inner layer <strong>from</strong> light collected in the hollow cavity. There are a first optical waveguide extending<br />
between the catheter body <strong>and</strong> the tip electrode to inject light into the inner layer <strong>and</strong> illuminate the tissue, <strong>and</strong> a second optical<br />
waveguide extending between the catheter body <strong>and</strong> the tip electrode to collect the recaptured light in the hollow cavity.<br />

A control arrangement for power transmission includes a gearshift mechanism, a pressure-plate clutch, a centrifugal clutch, a<br />
transmission shaft, a coupling mechanism, <strong>and</strong> a power driver. The coupling mechanism can couple, selectively, to the power driver<br />
<strong>and</strong> the transmission shaft, so that the power driver can be employed for a gearshift; or not to couple to the power driver <strong>and</strong> the<br />
transmission shaft, so that the manipulating lever can be employed for the gearshift. Either the power driver or the manipulating lever<br />
can be employed to achieve the gearshift so as to improve convenience <strong>and</strong> mobility <strong>of</strong> manipulation <strong>of</strong> the gearshift, <strong>and</strong> to prevent<br />
the disadvantage that in case the power driver fails the gearshift would not be able to be manipulated.<br />

A needle may be fired into tissue by a needle firing mechanism, which may include a fork for holding the needle <strong>and</strong> a firing rod<br />
coupled with the fork. A spring urges the fork to a distal, fired position. A screw gear is coupled with the rod. A sled is positioned at<br />
the proximal end <strong>of</strong> the rod. A catch is configured to engage the sled when the sled is moved to a proximal position. The screw gear is<br />
operable to convert rotational motion <strong>from</strong> a motor <strong>and</strong> gear set into linear motion to move the rod proximally to engage the sled with<br />
the catch, thereby cocking the needle firing mechanism. The motor may also be used to translate the screw gear distally relative to the<br />
rod after the sled has engaged with the catch. A trigger is used to fire the cocked needle firing mechanism.<br />

A biopsy device includes a cutter defining a cutter lumen <strong>and</strong> a tissue sample holder for collecting tissue samples. In one example, the<br />
tissue sample holder has a rotatable manifold that is configured to redirect fluid <strong>from</strong> one axial direction to an opposite axial direction.<br />
The tissue sample holder also has a plurality <strong>of</strong> tissue sample trays through which fluid may be communicated. The tissue sample trays<br />
define chambers that are each configured to separately hold tissue samples. The tissue sample trays are removable relative to the<br />
manifold. A cup is configured to cover the manifold <strong>and</strong> trays. A tissue sample holder rotation mechanism is operable to rotate the<br />
manifold to successively index each chamber <strong>of</strong> the tissue sample trays with the cutter lumen. A feature may prevent rotation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
manifold when one <strong>part</strong> <strong>of</strong> the biopsy device is separated <strong>from</strong> another <strong>part</strong> <strong>of</strong> the biopsy device.<br />

bearing seat. Further, an oil-receiving groove is formed on the wall <strong>of</strong> the bore <strong>of</strong> the bearing seat, where the oil-receiving groove <strong>and</strong><br />
the oil orifice are communicated with each other. When the engine <strong>of</strong> a vehicle is running <strong>and</strong> pressurized lubricating oil comes <strong>from</strong><br />
the oil orifice so as to fill in the oil-receiving groove <strong>and</strong> forms as a tensioned membrane to lubricate <strong>and</strong> sustain the at least one<br />
bearing satisfactorily, noise incurred by impact <strong>of</strong> the at least one bearing can be avoided.<br />

The invention is a damper <strong>and</strong> a method for protecting buildings <strong>and</strong> similar structural systems <strong>from</strong> dynamic loading such as loading<br />
caused by earthquakes, strong winds or machine vibrations. More specifically, the damper is made <strong>from</strong> structural members being<br />
interconnected in frictional or visco-elastically dampened rotational joints. Due to the dampening <strong>of</strong> the joints, relative movement<br />
between the structural elements is dampened. In <strong>part</strong>icular, the damper is useful for base isolation, e.g. in order to allow a building or a<br />
machine to move in a dampened movement relative to its foundation or in order to allow a cable stay <strong>of</strong> a cable stay bridge to move in<br />
a dampened movement relative its fixation point on the bridge.<br />

to the introduction <strong>of</strong> the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents <strong>and</strong>/or compounds may be<br />
utilized to promote healing, including the prevention <strong>of</strong> thrombosis. The drugs, agents, <strong>and</strong>/or compounds may also be utilized to treat<br />
specific disorders, including vulnerable<br />
plaque. Therapeutic agents may also be delivered to the region <strong>of</strong> a disease site. In regional delivery, liquid formulations may be<br />
desirable to increase the efficacy <strong>and</strong> deliverability <strong>of</strong> the <strong>part</strong>icular drug. Also, the devices may be modified to promote<br />
endothelialization. Various materials <strong>and</strong> coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the agents or compounds on the medical<br />
device until delivered <strong>and</strong> positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to<br />
reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts,<br />
anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures <strong>and</strong> staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the<br />
elution rates <strong>of</strong> the therapeutic drugs, agents <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

A range selection control system for a transmission facilitates safe operation <strong>of</strong> a power take <strong>of</strong>f. A fluid actuated range piston<br />
assembly within a range cylinder moves between low range <strong>and</strong> high range positions. Range cylinder <strong>and</strong> range piston assembly<br />
define sealed high range <strong>and</strong> low range chambers. A neutral cylinder intersects range cylinder. A fluid actuated neutral piston<br />
assembly within neutral cylinder defines a neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly engages range control piston assembly<br />
responsive to pressurization <strong>of</strong> neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly is received by an engagement feature <strong>of</strong> range piston<br />
assembly when range control piston assembly is in a neutral position, retaining range piston assembly there. An electrically responsive<br />
locking mechanism locks neutral piston assembly in place when range piston assembly is in the neutral position. The locking is<br />
controlled by a condition <strong>of</strong> an electrical switch indicating a transmission condition.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
A shift fork actuation system includes an actuator housing defining a piston cavity <strong>and</strong> a piston assembly having three pistons with<br />
three different surface areas responsive to fluid pressure to establish positions <strong>of</strong> the piston assembly within the piston cavity. A<br />
stopping mechanism, such as a shoulder formed by the actuator housing at the interface <strong>of</strong> different bores in the piston cavity,<br />
interferes with one <strong>of</strong> the surface areas to prevent movement <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the pistons past the stopping mechanism. A neutral position <strong>of</strong> a<br />
shift fork is established by interference <strong>of</strong> the piston assembly with the stopping mechanism. A slot in the piston assembly captures a<br />
finger extension <strong>from</strong> the shift rail to act as an anti-rotation feature, ensuring that a magnet embedded in the piston assembly as <strong>part</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
a sensor assembly is properly positioned.<br />

The yarn (F) is unwound <strong>from</strong> a yarn-storing drum (12) <strong>and</strong> is fed to a textile machine. A weft-braking device (18) is integral with a<br />
slide (22) movable along a direction parallel to the axis <strong>of</strong> the drum (12), <strong>and</strong> is provided with a hollow braking member (32) having a<br />
circular pr<strong>of</strong>ile, which is coaxially biased, with its inner surface, against the delivery edge <strong>of</strong> the drum (12) by actuator means (20, 21)<br />
to brake the unwinding yarn. A yarn tension sensor (38) generates a measured tension signal (Tm) indicative <strong>of</strong> the tension <strong>of</strong> the yarn<br />
delivered <strong>from</strong> the drum. A control unit (CU) is programmed to compare the measured tension signal (Tm) with a reference tension<br />
signal (Tr) <strong>and</strong> to drive the actuator means (20, 21) in such a way as to minimize the difference between the measured tension <strong>and</strong> the<br />
reference tension. The control unit (CU) is programmed to generate a poor braking signal (Sib, Sib’) when the reference tension (Tr) is<br />
higher then the maximum tension avaliable with said actuator means at a stroke-end position, <strong>and</strong> an excessive braking signal (Seb,<br />
Seb’) when the reference tension (Tr) is lower then the minimum tension avaliable with said actuator means at a stroke-end position.<br />
Means for correcting the position (VD, M) <strong>of</strong> said slide (22, 23) are enabled by the poor braking signal (Sib, Sib") <strong>and</strong> the excessive<br />
braking signal (Seb, Seb’).<br />

Methods for making comb-type antithrombotic conjugate wherein substantially all side chains <strong>of</strong> water soluble poly(vinyl alcohol)<br />
(PVA) are extended by ring-opening polymerization to form a copolymer wherein substantially all terminals are conjugated to an<br />
antithrombotic molecule. In addition, a method is provided for applying a coating comprising a comb-type antithrombotic conjugate to<br />
at least a portion <strong>of</strong> an implantable device to prevent or reduce the formation <strong>of</strong> thrombosis on the surface <strong>of</strong> the device. A first or sublayer<br />
<strong>of</strong> the coating is prepared by mixing a polymeric material <strong>and</strong> a biologically active agent with a solvent, thereby forming a<br />
homogeneous solution. A second or outer layer comprising a comb-type antithrombotic conjugate may be applied over the inner drugcontaining<br />
layers using, for example, a dip coating or spray coating process. Alternatively the comb-type antithrombotic conjugate<br />
may be used as a matrix material to encapsulate a pharmaceutical agent to form microspheres or nanospheres before depositing the<br />
microspheres or nanospheres onto a medical device.<br />

undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles is effected by optoelectronic means, the fibre material can be detected by a recognition device <strong>and</strong> the<br />
measurement results can be supplied to an image-processing device. In order substantially to improve evaluation <strong>of</strong> the measurement<br />
<strong>of</strong> the undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles, there is a combing-out element for at least one fibre sliver, with which a fibre tuft having open ends in the<br />
working direction <strong>and</strong> a fibre tuft having open ends opposite to the working direction can be produced <strong>and</strong> the measured values <strong>of</strong> the<br />
undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles obtained at both fibre tufts can be supplied to a comparison device <strong>and</strong> the comparison values can be used for<br />
optimising setting parameters <strong>and</strong>/or structural elements <strong>of</strong> the spinning preparation machines.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />
A method <strong>and</strong> apparatus effectively bypasses flue gas through or around selected boiler convection heat transfer tube banks within a<br />
new or existing boiler flue. Heat transfer tubes are removed, or omitted in the design <strong>of</strong> a new boiler flue, forming one or more voids<br />
at one or more locations within the tube banks. A bypass flue or conduit is formed within each void, for example using steel plates,<br />
along with existing flue walls, or using an integral sleeve. A wall <strong>of</strong> the bypass flue may include water or steam-cooled tubes.<br />
Dampers may be installed at either end <strong>of</strong> or within the bypass flue to control the amount <strong>of</strong> flue gas directed through each bypass<br />
flue.<br />

A method for monitoring an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal <strong>of</strong> a subject, includes digitally sampling an average signal <strong>from</strong> at least a<br />
first ECG electrode, determining an average interference frequency, <strong>and</strong> digitally sampling <strong>and</strong> buffering a raw ECG signal <strong>from</strong> at<br />
least a second ECG electrode. The method further includes: filtering the raw ECG signal to generate a residual signal; calculating,<br />
based on the residual signal, a first amplitude <strong>and</strong> a first phase shift <strong>of</strong> a primary interference signal at the average interference<br />
frequency <strong>and</strong> a second amplitude <strong>and</strong> a second phase shift <strong>of</strong> one or more harmonic interference signals at respective multiples <strong>of</strong> the<br />
average interference frequency; <strong>and</strong> digitally subtracting the primary interference signal <strong>and</strong> the one or more harmonic interference<br />
signals <strong>from</strong> the raw ECG signal so as to generate <strong>and</strong> output a clean ECG signal.<br />

A method for controlling a transmission in a motor vehicle includes determining a temperature <strong>of</strong> a fluid in the transmission,<br />
determining whether the torque converter lockup clutch is applied, <strong>and</strong> determining an engine torque <strong>of</strong> the motor vehicle. Then, the<br />
torque converter lockup clutch is applied <strong>and</strong> the transmission is prohibited <strong>from</strong> up-shifting if the temperature <strong>of</strong> the fluid exceeds a<br />
threshold, the torque converter lockup clutch is not applied, <strong>and</strong> the engine torque exceeds a second threshold. Next, a tractive effort<br />
<strong>of</strong> the motor vehicle is determined <strong>and</strong> the torque converter lockup clutch is deactivated when the temperature <strong>of</strong> the fluid is less than<br />
a third threshold, the tractive effort is less than a fourth threshold, or the engine torque is less than the second threshold.<br />

Skin-attached features are placed on a computer generated character by defining a set <strong>of</strong> placement points on at least a portion <strong>of</strong> a<br />
skin surface <strong>of</strong> the computer generated character. For each placement point, a radius is defined for the placement point. For each<br />
placement point, a density value is determined for the placement point. The density value is a sum <strong>of</strong> weighted overlaps with<br />
neighboring placement points within the radius <strong>of</strong> the placement point. The weighted overlaps are functions <strong>of</strong> the radius <strong>of</strong> the<br />
placement point. The number <strong>of</strong> placement points in the set <strong>of</strong> placement points is reduced based on the density values.<br />

A control method for controlling load reduction for a wind turbine rotor (3) with rotor blades (5, 7, 9) comprising at least one<br />
aerodynamic active element responsive to a control signal for modifying its setting is provided. The method comprises the steps <strong>of</strong> -<br />
detecting the loads acting on the rotor blades (5, 7, 9) in relation to the rotor’s azimuth; - establishing individual control signals for<br />
modifying the settings <strong>of</strong> the aerodynamic active elements <strong>of</strong> the rotor blades (5, 7, 9) wherein each individual control signal is a<br />
complex number containing an amplitude defining the degree <strong>of</strong> modification <strong>of</strong> the respective setting <strong>and</strong> an angle defining the phase<br />
<strong>of</strong> the modification <strong>of</strong> the respective setting with respect to the rotor’s azimuth, <strong>and</strong> wherein the angle <strong>of</strong> the complex number is<br />
corrected by a phase correction factor; <strong>and</strong> - providing the aerodynamic active elements with the individual control signals. The<br />
individual control signals are established based on a PI control system (47); - the input to the Pi-control system (47) is a complex load<br />
vector; - the number <strong>of</strong> complex vector components <strong>of</strong> the complex load vector corresponds to the number <strong>of</strong> rotor blades (5, 7, 9); -<br />
the amplitude <strong>of</strong> a vector component defines the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the load acting on the respective blade (5, 7, 9) <strong>and</strong> the angle <strong>of</strong> this<br />
vector component defines the phase <strong>of</strong> the load with respect to the rotor’s (3) azimuth; <strong>and</strong> - the load vector is multiplied with the<br />
phase correction factor before it is input to the Pi-control system (47).<br />
