  • Patent number: 9359392
    Abstract: This invention relates to certain dendrimer compounds. In particular, this invention relates to novel dendrimer compounds that can be elaborated to give increasingly large and complex compounds. These elaborated compounds can be attached to, or can encapsulate within, active agent(s) so as to beneficially modify the characteristics of that active agent. Alternatively, the elaborated compounds can themselves be beneficially modified into therapeutic agents by the attachment of inactive agents.

  • Publication number: 20070090199
    Abstract: The present invention provides an airflow control loop that uses averaged airflow measurements without the problems that are normally encountered with averaging measurements, such as the delay introduced into the airflow control loop. This is accomplished, in the present invention, through a predictive control scheme. The predictive control scheme of the airflow control loop calculates the damper sensitivity, calculates the damper runtime needed to achieve setpoint, and then runs the damper for the determined period of time. In addition to the unique airflow control loop used to maintain the constant airflow into the room, the present invention also implements a digital form of proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control to maintain the room temperature. The digital form of PID control uses non-linear gains which vary according to how far the measured temperature is from setpoint.
