  • Patent number: 11650159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting a performance characteristic of a plant or yeast hydrolysate, wherein a plant or yeast hydrolysate sample is measured with 2D fluorescence spectroscopy in powder form. Said method comprises the steps for providing a model based on a predetermined value of a manufacturing parameter of interest. For this purpose a training set consisting of predetermined manufacturing parameter of interest (e.g volumetric productivity parameter, virus titer or cell number) and fluorescence spectroscopic data is used. The fluorescence spectroscopic data is correlated to the values of the manufacturing parameter of interest to obtain a calibration model/model parameters by applying multivariate data analysis. This calibration model is being used to predict the manufacturing parameter of interest for new samples dedicated for the manufacturing process.

  • Patent number: 8631912
    Abstract: A brake caliper for a disk brake is disclosed. The brake caliper includes a caliper housing defining a bore that extends along a bore axis. A piston of an actuating device is mounted within the bore so as to be movable along the bore axis in an application direction and a return direction. A sealing arrangement is at least partially provided between the piston and the bore. The sealing arrangement includes a sealing ring positioned in a radial groove. A base surface of the groove is formed in the direction of the bore axis and oriented antiparallel with respect to the bore axis such that the groove base surface approaches the bore axis in the application direction.

  • Patent number: 7623698
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of learning a knowledge-based database used in automatic defect classification. According to this method, the user is spared a series of entries as the system carries out an automatic learn mode, which requires a reduced number of user entries.

  • Patent number: 6654355
    Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus for communicating a controller area network (CAN) message between a sending node, attached to a sending CAN network, and a receiving node, where the sending and receiving nodes are interconnected by a network communicating according to transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP). The invention provides for having the sending node extract the CAN message payload (arbitration field, control field and data field if any) from a CAN message, having it embed the CAN message payload in a TCP/IP frame as the TCP/IP data field of the TCP/IP frame, having it refer to a routing form to determine the address on the TCP/IP network of the receiving node; and having it transmit the TCP/IP frame over the TCP/IP network using the address for the receiving node from the routing form.

  • Patent number: 5274344
    Abstract: The disclosed waveguide branch separating filter can be modularly constructed of a basic frequency separating filter and of a filter expansion unit. Both the basic frequency separating filter as well as the filter expansion unit are composed of a reactively terminated (including short circuit) feeder waveguide to which the separating filters are coupled. The expansion of the basic frequency separating filter occurs in largely disturbance-free fashion during operation in that the reactive termination (including short circuit) thereof is mechanically replaced by the filter expansion unit and is electrically simulated during the refitting by a short-circuit plate or by short-circuit pins.
