Abstract:
Different aspects of the invention implement a system, and corresponding method, for the systematic, universal and optimized screening of oropharyngeal dysphagia which is based on an algorithm which takes into account parameters and clinical record of each patient, for determining with high probability the possibilities of suffering from oropharyngeal dysphagia, and selecting only those patients which really have a risk of suffering from oropharyngeal dysphagia for the continuation of their medical diagnosis and clinical exploration and instrumental assessment phases.
Abstract:
In some embodiments a secure permit request to change a hardware configuration is created. The secure permit request is sent to a remote location, and a permit sent from the remote location in response to the permit request is received. The hardware configuration is changed in response to the received permit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission (30) is provided having a driven element. The continuously variable transmission also has a first operator input device (22) configured to transmit a first displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the first operator input device. The continuously variable transmission further has a second operator input device (24) configured to transmit a second displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the second operator input device. In addition, the continuously variable transmission has a third operator input device (26) configured to transmit a transmission operating mode request. Furthermore, the continuously variable transmission has at least one sensor (46) configured to sense at least one parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission. Additionally, the continuously variable transmission has a controller (32) configured to determine a driven element output request based on the operating request mode, the first displacement signal, the second displacement signal, and the at least one sensed parameter. The controller is also configured to regulate an output of the driven element in response to the operating mode request, the driven element output request, and the at least one sensed parameter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding control elements that are useful in recombinant DNA technology. In particular the invention relates to nucleic acids encoding transactivation elements useful in the expression of genes in plant cells, as well as to the peptide products of such nucleic acids and the use of such nucleic acids and peptides in regulating gene expression in plants. The invention further extends to DNA constructs comprising such nucleic acids, as well as to plant cells transformed with such nucleic acids and/or such DNA constructs.
Abstract:
Diferentes aspectos de la invención implementan un sistema, y procedimiento correspondiente, para el cribaje sistemático universal y optimizado de la disfagia orofaríngea que se basa en un algoritmo que toma en cuenta parámetros y el histórico clínico de cada paciente, para determinar con alta 5 probabilidad las posibilidades de sufrir disfagia orofaríngea, y seleccionar para la continuación de su diagnóstico mediante la fase de exploración clínica y de evaluación instrumental solamente a aquellos pacientes que realmente tengan riesgo de sufrir disfagia orofaríngea.
Abstract:
De especial aplicación en jaulas (1 ) de gallinas ponedoras, permite que la yacija (3) existente en el interior de las jaulas (1 ) disponga de la cantidad suficiente de material friable (fácil de desmenuzar) para permitir que las gallinas puedan escarbar y picotear, ejecutándose todo ello de forma automática, rápida y eficaz, aumentando los rendimientos finales obtenidos y reduciendo considerablemente los costes totales de la instalación, nave o granja avícola de que se trate.
Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission (30) is provided having a driven element. The continuously variable transmission also has at least one operator input device (26) configured to transmit a transmission operating mode request and at least one other operator input device (22, 24) configured to transmit a driven element output request. In addition, the continuously variable transmission has at least one sensor (46) configured to sense at least one parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission. The continuously variable transmission further has a controller (32) configured to regulate an output of the driven element in response to the operating mode request, the driven element output request, and the at least one sensed parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an insect steroid receptor protein which is capable of acting as a gene switch which is responsive to a chemical inducer enabling external control of the gene.
Abstract:
According to the invention, a coin processing system comprises a coin verifier (2) and a ring-shaped coin magazine (1), in particular a coin magazine (1) which forms an annulus. The coin magazine (1) comprises a coin input (4) fed by the coin verifier (2), a plurality of coin supports (7.1...7.5) for separately storing a plurality of coins (12.1...12.3) and a coin output (15). The coin processing system is further characterised in that the coin verifier (2) is at least partly situated within the cavity (13) defined by the ring-shaped coin magazine (1). Further a method for feeding a ring-shaped coin magazine (1) is presented, whereas the coin magazine (1) defines a cavity (13). In particular a method for feeding a coin magazine (1) which forms an annulus is disclosed, wherein the coin magazine (1) comprises a coin input (4) fed by a coin verifier (2), a plurality of coin supports (7.1...7.5) for separately storing a plurality of coins (12.1...12.3) and a coin output ( 15). The method is characterised in that a coin (12.1...12.3) being released from the coin verifier (2) is directly fed into the magazine (1) from the cavity (13) being defined by the ring-shaped magazine (1) in a first radially outward pointing direction. Further the coin (12.1...12.3) is stored within the magazine (1) and eventually the coin (12.1...12.3) is released from the magazine (1) in a second radially outward pointing direction.
Abstract:
One disclosed embodiment relates to a propulsion system (12) for a machine (10). The propulsion system may include a prime mover (18) operatively connected through a continuously variable transmission (28) to a propulsion device (20). The propulsion system may also include propulsion- system controls (24) that control an operating parameter of the continuously variable transmission, which may include adjusting the operating parameter based on operator input. Controlling the operating parameter may also include determining an adjustment limit for the operating parameter based on one or more operating conditions and applying the adjustment limit to the operating parameter to modify at least one of acceleration and jerk of the machine based on the one or more operating conditions.
