Abstract: A power system includes a load bus configured to be connected to a power source, a generator and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The generator is operated as an induction generator to provide power to the load bus while providing reactive power to the load bus from the UPS. In some embodiments, prior to operating the generator as an induction generator, the generator is operated as an induction motor while the load bus is receiving power from the power source. Responsive to loss of the power source, the UPS may be used to maintain operation of the generator as an induction motor while the prime mover accelerates up to a speed sufficient to drive the generator as an induction generator.

Abstract: A method for transforming electronic information in to a format, the method comprising the steps of: accessing a first electronic file that comprises control data; accessing metadata based on the control data; identifying input data based on the metadata and the control data; and creating output data that is based on the input data and which has an output format that is based on the control data.

Abstract: An image intensifier tube is provided. The image intensifier tube has a microchannel plate (MCP), a photocathode and phosphor screen deposited on a fiber optic substrate. A first spacer is positioned between the microchannel plate and the fiber optic substrate. A second spacer is positioned between the fiber optic substrate and the photocathode. The first and second spacers cooperate to provide a spatial relationship among the MCP, phosphor screen and photocathode for effective operation of the image intensifier tube.

Abstract: Heteropolytype SiC heterojunctions display an abrupt change in polarization leading to 2 dimensional electron or hole gases at the lattice matched interface, depending on the direction of polarization. These channels carry a large amount of electric current which can be modulated with a gate electrode, giving rise to transistor operation in the lateral geometry without the need for n or p type doping. Furthermore, some of these structures display high turn-on voltages which may have applications in terahertz sources and exotic diodes in the transverse geometry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (Ia) wherein A, B, n, m, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 and R11 are defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; the compounds are of particular use in the treatment or prevention of depression, anxiety, pain, inflammation, migraine, emesis or postherpetic neuralgia.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sulfone derivatives of formula (I): Ar—SO2—CR2R3-L-N(R1)2I wherein Ar, L, R1, R2 and R3 are as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and N-oxides thereof, useful in the treatment of a condition which is susceptible to treatment by modulation of 5-HT7 receptor activity, such as depression or a sleep disorder.

Abstract: This invention control system having: means (12) for detecting an irregularity in aircraft handling during flight; means (18) for causing temporarily a rigid body excitation in at least a portion of the aircraft; means (20) for monitoring an actual response to the excitation; means (22) for comparing the actual response and a target response to the rigid body excitation; and means (14) responsive to an output from the comparison means for determining the need for a modification of the current flight plan and for generating a corresponding control output. The invention also provides a corresponding method for controlling an aircraft.

Abstract: A computer-based system for supporting negotiations with any number of variables and any number of parties. After negotiation variables are created, each negotiating party defines preferred outcomes and associated relative importances for each variable. A neutral site where parties have access only to their own private information and that which other parties share with them manages confidential information. Parties can then create proposals and other packages within those ranges, which may be visible to other parties or not, at their own option. In addition to exchanging conventional proposals in terms of actual values for the negotiation variables, parties may also exchange “reflected” proposals. When a proposal is reflected, what is proposed to another party is merely a rating representing the highest possible potential satisfaction level for that other party, given the reflected proposal, each party's preferences and any constraints imposed on the problem.

Abstract: The invention provides fungicidal compounds of formula (I) or stereoisomers thereof: wherein X is CH2O; A is hydrogen; E is hydrogen; q is 1; any two of K, L and M are nitrogen and the other is CH; T is oxygen or sulfur; and Z is an optionally substituted phenyl group or an optionally substituted heterocylyl group.

Abstract: A computer-based blind-bidding system for supporting negotiations with any number of issues and any number of parties is disclosed. After negotiation issues are created, each negotiating party defines preferred outcomes and associated relative importances for each issue. Confidential information is managed by a neutral site where parties have access only to their only private information and that which other parties share with them. Parties can then create proposals and other potential agreements within those ranges, which may be visible to other parties or not, at their own option. Upon request, the system generates visible suggestions, which are potential agreements whose values are derived from party preference information. If some suggestions already exist, new suggestions fall between existing suggestions. Parties can see the suggestions generated by the system, but are “blind” to a confidential acceptance that any other party may indicate with respect to any package.
