Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and device for detecting at least one target, comprising: transmitting a sensing signal; obtaining a first channel estimation result corresponding to an echo signal of the sensing signal; obtaining a second channel estimation result based on the first channel estimation result; based on the first channel estimation result and the second channel estimation result, performing over-threshold detection based on a threshold value being used to obtain an index subset related to target(s); and obtaining an over-threshold detection result based on the index subset related to the target(s).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing lamination segments for the stator of an electrical machine is disclosed. The method comprises producing successive segments (24) from a strip of raw material. Techniques are disclosed for using parts of the raw material which would otherwise be scrap. In one embodiment each segment has a recess (32) in its outer edge, and a portion of an adjacent segment is produced from raw material within the recess. This can allow the scrap rate for segmented stator laminations to be optimised.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method of increasing plan yield. Also described are DNA constructs comprising DNA sequences coding for proteins involved in sucrose transport, metabolism and uptake operably linked to controllable promoter regions and plants transformed with said constructs. More particularly a method for the controlled production of said proteins resulting in an alteration in plant growth characteristics, flowering time and in yield is described.
