Abstract: A method is provided for estimating the parameters of useful signal and multi-path signals originating from a radiolocation signal emitted by a satellite, a location device comprising at least two sensors able to receive the signal. The method comprises the steps of: correlating the signal received by the sensors with a local code by means of correlators, constructing, for each sensor, a sampled intercorrelation function intercorrelating the signal received with the local code, determining a spatio-temporal intercorrelation function on the basis of the concatenation of the intercorrelation functions obtained in the previous step for each sensor, estimating parameters representative of the useful signal and of the multi-path signals by applying a maximum likelihood algorithm, the representative parameters including at least one complex amplitude estimated independently for each sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a savoury seasoning composition, a method of preparing such a composition and to uses of such a composition.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a composition containing an edible solid particulate component, for example a starch, which is free from additives like maltodextrin, lactose and flowability improvers. Nevertheless, the removal of such additives should not lead to inferior qualities of such composition when in use. The objective of this invention is to provide an alternative to such additives, which has a natural image for consumers, and which can lead to benefits like good dissolution of the starch, no clumping during dissolution, good flowability of a dry mixture in a factory, and which does not lead to a dusty dry powder mixture. This problem has been solved by agglomerating an edible solid particulate component, preferably containing a starch, with particulate, expanded, gelatinized potato starch, to create a dry, particulate, agglomerated composition.

A tumor therapeutic agent is disclosed that combines a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represented by Formula I and an anti-PD-1 antibody.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of positioning a patient. The patient is provided on a support surface, an inflatable positioning mattress disposed between the patient and the support surface. Air flow into the inflatable positioning mattress is initiated to inflate the inflatable positioning mattress. A downward force is applied on the inflatable positioning mattress proximate to a first side of the support surface. A portion of the inflatable positioning mattress proximate to a second side of the support surface is raised. At least one wedge is positioned beneath the inflatable positioning mattress. Subsequently, the patient is lowered onto the at least one wedge.

Abstract: Provided is a technology for supporting solution of a fault that has occurred in a system including an audio-visual device. A solution support program storage unit (7) is configured to store, for each potential fault, a solution support program for supporting a user's job for solving the each fault. At least one of the solution support programs for handling a fault having a plurality of possible causes includes processing for displaying a message for prompting the user to conduct a predetermined job, processing for displaying a question for the user, processing for receiving a user's answer to the question, and processing for displaying a message indicating a solution corresponding to the received answer. Then, a main control unit (9) determines a fault based on the information acquired through an audio-visual signal input interface unit (3) and an audio-visual signal output interface unit (4), and executes the solution support program for handling the determined fault.

Abstract: A mill for granular food including an adjuster attached to a barrel unit and rotatable relative to the barrel unit and to be prevented from coming off the barrel unit in an axis direction. A ground particle size for granular food is adjusted by rotating the adjuster. A movement attachment and detachment unit that inscribes an outer mill unit in the barrel unit and the adjuster, and makes the outer mill unit movable in the axis direction and makes the outer mill unit attachable and detachable. A rotary shaft extending from a rotary operation unit extends downward along a mill. An inner mill unit is attached to the rotary shaft. The adjuster is provided with a movement restricting unit that restricts movement of the inner mill unit to a predetermined position. Releasing the restriction makes the inner mill unit and the outer mill unit extractable.
