Abstract:
A method and apparatus for obtaining a corrected engine operational parameter value, using cylinder pressure information. A real pressure sensor signal output from a sensor (41D) is compared for discrepancies with an estimated output from engine pressure model (42A), including an engine model and a sensor model. The engine pressure model is corrected dependent on the discrepancy and the model engine pressure is then taken as the output value.
Abstract:
A method of calculating the state of charge of a power source, the method comprising the steps of; providing a plurality of equivalent circuit models; selecting an equivalent circuit from the provided equivalent circuits; calculating the input power to the equivalent circuit; calculating the losses from the equivalent circuit; determining an initial state of charge for the power source from the calculated input power and losses of the equivalent circuit; subsequently recalculating the value of one or more of the component parts of the equivalent circuit based on the temperature behaviour of the cell; and determining a state of charge using one or more of the recalculated component parts.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for a noninvasive optical determination of the volume of a fluid in a compartment within a closed system comprising a compartment wherein a fluid resides which is permeable to at least one wavelength of light, a light source and light detecting device configured to obtain spectral data for a fluid for at least one wavelength, a processor adapted to determine the volume of the fluid by correlating the spectral data for a fluid at a known path length with the spectral data for the fluid at an unknown path length and wherein the processor is further configured to control the release of the substance from the compartment to its end use.

This invention relates to high-throughput, semi-automated methods for identifying compounds that are effective in targeting leukemia stem cells, as well as compounds identified by those methods and uses thereof for treating leukemia.
Abstract:
Heavy equipment includes first and second hydraulic pumps, and first and second hydraulic actuators, where the first hydraulic actuator facilitates a first work function of the heavy equipment and the second hydraulic actuator facilitates a second work function of the heavy equipment. The heavy equipment further includes valving and a computerized controller. The valving is configured to allow the first hydraulic pump to be coupled to the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator, and to allow the second hydraulic pump to be coupled to the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator. The computerized controller is coupled to the valving, and has a logic module. The logic module provides instructions to the computerized controller to operate the valving as a function of inputs from an operator command, a sensor input, and prioritization logic associated with the first and second work functions, so as to optimize performance of the work functions facilitated by the hydraulic actuators with respect to available output of the hydraulic pumps.

Abstract:
DNP polarizer comprising a housing receiving a free end of a tubular fluid conduit positioned in fluid communication with a nozzle supported by said housing, said nozzle including an input port, a dispense port and a tapering inner surface or a stepped inner surface defining a nozzle flowpath extending in fluid communication between said input port and said dispense port.
Abstract:
A device for dynamic filtration of a pharmaceutical product is provided. The device includes a resin configured to selectively retain one or more components from a mixture having the pharmaceutical product, where the resin is configured to be activated by a medium of the mixture. The device further includes at least one positioning material disposed adjacent to the resin, where the positioning material is configured to provide mechanical support to the resin to at least partially retain the resin in position. In certain embodiments, the device does not require conditioning immediately prior to filtration.
