Abstract:
A stimulus-based steering sensor device and a method for the same are disclosed. The sensor device comprises at least one driving wheel, a processor, two driven wheels, and two resolvers. The processor generates a stimulus signal and has a signal-angle lookup table. The driving wheel contacts two driven wheels. When following the rotation of a steering column, the driving wheel drives two driven wheels to rotate at different speeds. Two resolvers connect with the processor, respectively engage with two driven wheels, receive the stimulus signal, and respectively output two first sinusoidal signals to the processor according to the rotational speeds of two driven wheels. The processor analyzes two first sinusoidal signals to obtain two second sinusoidal signals having different periods, and uses the second sinusoidal signals and the signal-angle lookup table to obtain a first absolute angle value of the rotation of the steering wheel.
Abstract:
Provided is a LED lighting system, including a lighting device driver having a power converter for converting an input voltage into a first DC voltage and outputting a first current having a substantially constant current value; and a LED lighting device assembly connected to the lighting device driver through two contacts. The LED lighting device assembly includes a plurality of light-emitting diode lighting devices having a plurality of lighting device connection bases and a plurality of LED units. The lighting device connection bases are connected in series with each other to allow the LED lighting devices to be connected in series with each other, and the lamp voltage is applied across the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the lighting device connection base and is generated by dividing the first DC voltage, thereby allowing the lamp currents outputted by the lighting device connection bases are substantially equal.
Abstract:
A system associated with straining media in a pipeline includes a perforated plate with perforations that are configured to remove debris from media. The perforations include an inlet edge that is chamfered. The inlet edge is an upstream edge with respect to a flow direction of the media.
Abstract:
The three β-neurexins have similar roles in synaptogenesis and interact with the neuroligins. Mutations located within the gene encoding neurexin 1 have been identified as molecular markers associated with autism and autism-related disorders. The estimated attributable risk is 2%. The invention provides methods of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to developing autism in an individual by determining the presence or absence of one or more genetic variant of a neurexin 1 gene in an individual.
Abstract:
The invention provides passivated organic polymer supports, processes for their preparation and processes for their use in oligonucleotide synthesis that allow for highly efficient solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides.
Abstract:
A jet pump assembly according to an example embodiment of the present invention includes an inlet body arranged in proximity with a throat structure so as to provide an entrainment entrance between a discharge end of the inlet body and the throat structure. A drive flow of a motive fluid is supplied at a first velocity to the inlet body and is discharged through at least one nozzle at a higher second velocity, thereby creating a pressure drop in the throat structure. The pressure drop facilitates a first entrained flow of suction fluid into the entrainment entrance and a second entrained flow of suction fluid through at least one channel passing through the inlet body. The at least one channel is configured such that the second entrained flow is isolated from the drive flow while passing through the inlet body.
Abstract:
For automatic problem diagnosis, a data collector module collects log data comprising code sets from a plurality of components in a data processing system. An analysis module translates the log data into at least one predefined symptom. Each symptom is associated with at least one code set of the log data. The analysis module selects from a knowledge base at least one problem that includes each symptom. The analysis module further calculates an influence factor for each problem, and ranks each problem from most likely to least likely based on the influence factor of the problem.
