A system and method for controlling the temperature of a process tool uses the vaporizable characteristic of a refrigerant that is provided in direct heat exchange relation with the process tool. Pressurized refrigerant is provided as both condensed liquid and in gaseous state. The condensed liquid is expanded to a vaporous mix, and the gaseous refrigerant is added to reach a target temperature determined by its pressure. Temperature corrections can thus be made very rapidly by gas pressure adjustments. The process tool and the operating parameters will usually require that the returning refrigerant be conditioned and processed for compatibility with the compressor and other units, so that cycling can be continuous regardless of thermal demands and changes.

The present invention relates to liposomal compositions and their application for delivery of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease.

A fuel pressure control apparatus and method controls a pressure of fuel that is delivered from a fuel pump to a fuel pipe in an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. A controller of the fuel pressure control apparatus calculates a controlled variable based on at least an integral term that is updated in accordance with a difference between an actual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe and a target value thereof; and controls an amount of the fuel delivered from the fuel pump in a feedback manner, using the controlled variable, so that the actual fuel pressure approaches the target value. During the control of the fuel pressure, the controller inhibits updating of the integral term to a value that results in an increase in the amount of the fuel delivered from the fuel pump, when the amount of the fuel delivered is approximate to or equal to a maximum value thereof.

In one aspect, software or configuration data that is to be distributed is subdivided into data blocks and a list created based on the data blocks created. Users receive the list and a portion of the data blocks. The users form ad hoc networks or P2P connections among themselves. The connections allow the data blocks to be exchanged randomly.

This disclosure relates to remote control of dialysis machines. In certain aspects, a method includes receiving a request for a network connection from a dialysis machine and establishing the network connection with the dialysis machine. The method also includes receiving, from a client device, a request to access the dialysis machine, authorizing the client device to access the dialysis machine, receiving, from the dialysis machine, information pertaining to an operation of the dialysis machine, and providing, to the client device, the received information.

A platform shoe with detachable upper including a lower shoe member and an upper shoe member is disclosed. The shoe contains snaps or other connector components that provide a detachable attachment between the upper shoe member and the lower shoe member. Embodiments of the present invention include a lower shoe member having features that prevent damage to covering materials that may be caused by sharp edges of the connector components. In addition, the upper shoe member may be stretchable to allow attachment to a variety of lower shoe members of different shapes.

A training method for training a generator neural network configured to generate synthesized sensor data. A discriminator network is configured to receive discriminator input data comprising synthesized sensor data and / or measured sensor data, and to produce as output localized distinguishing information, the localized distinguishing information indicating for a plurality of sub-sets of the discriminator input data if the sub-set corresponds to measured sensor data or to synthesized sensor data.

An automated method optimally designs plates to satisfy an order book at a steel plant so as to maximize the yield of the plates designed while using capacity fully to reduce the production of surplus slabs or plates, and satisfy order deadlines. Our method consists of four main components: (1) mother plate design, (2) slab design, (3) cast design, and (4) material allocation. A column generation framework for mother plate design is used where the problem is decomposed into a master problem and a subproblem. The master problem is used to evaluate packing patterns that should be used to fulfill the order book and the subproblem generates potential one-dimensional and two-dimensional feasible packing patterns as candidates to be evaluated by the master problem. The solution to the master problem produces a list of mother plates that need to be produced. These mother plates are transformed into candidate slabs, which are represented via an interval graph. The maximal cliques in the interval graph—maximal subsets of slabs which can be grouped together to form casts—are enumerated to generate candidate casts, from which redesign information is sent to the plate / slab design processes. The cast design process is integrated with the plate design / slab design processes in the sense that information is passed from the plate / slab design processes to the cast design process and vice versa. Finally, our method has a material allocation component to assign order plates to inventory mother-plates and slabs.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a ventilation air assembly, including a filter holding unit the filter holding unit includes a housing having an inlet for ventilation air and an outlet for ventilation air, and a control member for controlling a ventilation air flow through the outlet. The filter holding unit is mounted at the wall surface. Furthermore, the ventilation air assembly includes a filter, which is arranged in the housing of the filter holding unit such that the ventilation air passes through the filter when flowing through the housing from the inlet to the outlet. Furthermore, the ventilation air assembly includes a wall portion having a wall surface, and a heater device, such as a radiator, which is mounted at the wall surface. The filter holding unit and the heater device are such positioned relative each other and the wall surface, and the control member is such adjustable, that the ventilation air flow exiting the outlet is directed towards a space between the wall surface and the heater device. The embodiment of the present invention does also relate to a filter holding unit for use in such a ventilation air assembly.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating clock pulses using a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS). The present invention seeks to solve the problems of the conventional clock generator using a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit where the output clock frequency cannot be varied and the output clock signal is degraded because of jitter and phase noise. The claimed apparatus comprises a phase accumulator, a phase-to-magnitude converter, a Digital-to-Analog (DA) converter, a band pass filter, and a comparator, which are serially connected. A 10×PLL multiplier provides a 196.608 MHz clock signal to the phase accumulator, the phase-magnitude converter and the digital analog converter, respectively. The phase accumulator also receives a Frequency Tuning Word (FTW) and using this FTW and the 196.608 MHz clock, outputs a desired specific frequency value. This frequency value is processed through the phase-magnitude converter, the digital analog converter, a band pass filter and a comparator in order to become a square wave of a desired frequency with a low jitter.

A variable valve operating device is provided that allows an ideal valve timing-lift characteristic to be realized by associating a change in a valve timing with a change in a valve lift amount. A rotation motion of a drive cam is transmitted to a slide surface of a swing member via an intermediate member. Positions of the intermediate member on the slide surface are varied in association with the rotation of a control shaft by an interlock mechanism. The slide surface is formed to be curved toward the drive cam so that the distance from the center of a camshaft increases toward the farthest point from the swing center of the swing member within the area which the intermediate member contacts from the nearest point from the swing center of the swing member within the area which the intermediate member contacts.
