A method is provided for detecting road lane markers in a vehicle road using an imaging device. Road input data is captured using the imaging device. Lighting normalization is applied to the road input data. The method detects the road lane markers in a few main orientations in the normalized input data. In each main orientation, the normalized input data is convolved with an oriented edge detection filter for generating an oriented edge-based filter response. The normalized input data is convolved with an oriented line detection filter for generating an oriented line-based filter response. Candidate lane markers are selected in response to the edge-based filter response and line-based filter response in each main orientation. A transformation technique is applied to the candidate lane markers for identifying the lane markings in each main orientation.

An exhaust gas purification system includes a particulate filter, a sensor that detects a filter differential pressure and a controller that controls regeneration of the particulate filter. The controller is programmed to execute a control for burning particulate accumulated on the particulate filter, determine whether regeneration of the particulate filter is completed, detect, in cooperation with the sensor, a filter differential pressure immediately after it is determined that regeneration of the particulate filter is completed, and estimate an ash accumulation amount based on the detected filter differential pressure. An exhaust gas purification method is also provided.

A kit for testing male fertility comprises a vessel, a base unit, a liquid supply containing liquid and two filters. The first filter is a sample separation filter which forms a hindrance to transmission of spermatozoa. The second filter of the kit is a spermatozoa detection filter comprising a reagent for identifying spermatozoa. Activation of the kit is prevented until a transport medium, such as the liquid, fills a gap allowing spermatozoa to transmit to a detection zone. The kit may be of one-piece construction and utilizes a thin piece of filter material to separate motile from non-motile spermatozoa.

A cordless modem comprises a radio pair interfaced to a standard data/fax modem which allows a user of a personal computer to wirelessly connect to a telephone line. One end of the radio pair is a remote unit interfaced to the modem contained within the PC while the other end is a base unit connected to a standard telephone wall jack. The base unit can selectively discriminate and adjust for signals received from a telephone voice handset or data signals received from the cordless modem remote unit. Upon receiving an off-hook signal or an incoming call signal, the base unit identifies the type of data (i.e., voice or computer modem data) and adapts accordingly by placing an FM modulator in either of a narrow band deviation or a wide band deviation covering the required range of the particular signal combined with local echo. That is, when voice data is present, a low deviation, narrow filter combination is selected. If, on the other hand, the computer data from the cordless modem is detected, a higher deviation, wider bandwidth filter is selected. In addition, the remote unit switches a pre-detection filter from one mode to another depending on whether it is connected to a computer modem or to a voice handset. Security from eavesdroppers as well as the mitigation of signal fading is provided by overlaying a pseudo-random number (PN) code on the FM modulated signal.

A method is provided for detecting filter clogging which are able to keep track of the filter clogging with precision and in detail. At least one pressure selected from the group consisting of a pressure Pa in a blood inflow portion (32a), a pressure Pv in a blood outflow portion (32b), a pressure Pf1 in a filtrate inflow portion (32c), and a pressure Pf2 in a filtrate outflow portion (32d) is measured continuously, then a variation (pressure waveform) of the pressure is analyzed, a clogging of a filter (32) is detected using the analyzed result. Thereby a clogging of a filter is detected early. As a result, it is possible to prevent from developing of the filter clogging by controlling a dosage amount of anti-coagulant properly and changing a flow rate of blood. The variation of the pressure wave may be analyzed by subjecting the variable to Fast Fourier Transform.

The invention belongs to the control field and provides a design method of a robustness fault detection filter of a linear uncertain system. A Lyapunov function method on which a homogeneous polynomial parameter depend is introduced into robustness fault detection of a linear time invariant system with convex polyhedron nondeterminacy. Firstly, existence of an HPPDL function used for designing an RFDF can be verified through feasibility of a linear matrix inequality; secondly, maximal fault sensitivity is obtained through solving a generalized eigenvalue problem, and an optimal RFDF is obtained. With increase of polynomial time, quantity of the linear matrix inequality and a free variable are increased, and conservation of verification is reduced substantially. The design method comprises two phases: (1) designing an optimal RFDF for a residual error generator with certain interference attenuation and largest fault sensitivity; (2) carrying out threshold design for a residual error generated by estimation. Compared with a previous analogy method, the design method in the invention has generality.

Each time a starting process for a diesel engine 2 is conducted and before the diesel engine 2 is started, any differences of the pressures P1 and P2 detected by first and second pressure sensors 21 and 22, respectively, with respect to a predetermined reference pressure value Pref, are computed and stored as first and second correction values ΔP1 and ΔP2, and then a differential pressure P12 across a particulate filter in the diesel engine 2 is computed using the pressure detection results of the first and second pressure sensors 21, 22 and the first and second correction values ΔP1,ΔP2. Thus, use of simply constructed and highly durable sensors during the detection of the differential pressure existing across the filter allows accurate measurement of this differential pressure.
