20140159756 | DETECTING DEVICE AND CURRENT SENSOR - A detecting device includes a detecting part configured to detect a change in an object to be detected so as to output a detection signal, an amplifying part configured to amplify the detection signal output from the detecting part to output a first amplification signal, a reference voltage supply part configured to supply a reference voltage to the amplifying part, the reference voltage being input to the amplifying part to be output as a second amplification signal, a switching part configured to switch a connection between the detecting part and the amplifying part or a connection between the amplifying part and the reference voltage supply part based on a control signal input thereto, and a comparing part configured to compare a predetermined amplification factor in the amplifying part, with an amplification factor obtained from the second amplification signal so as to output the comparison result as a comparison signal. | 06-12-2014 |
20130118250 | CALORIMETRIC FLOW METER HAVING HIGH HEAT CONDUCTIVITY STRIPS - A flow meter includes a heater for heating a fluid flow along a membrane. A temperature difference is measured between and upstream point and a downstream point. There are additionally provided one or more strips of material having a relatively high heat conductivity. Strips that are substantially perpendicular to the flow direction direct heat from the heater to the sides of the membrane, causing a large proportion of the heat that would otherwise drive heat flows to be dispersed and decreases inaccuracies or bias in the measured flow rate. Strips of material that are provided parallel to the flow direction act to direct heat from the heater along the direction of flow. This increases the proportion of heat that flows along this axis and guides the flow and hence reduces the proportion of heat available to drive heat flows that cause inaccuracies and bias in the measured flow rates. | 05-16-2013 |

20090201017 | HALL SENSOR ARRAY - A Hall sensor array has two Hall sensors arranged in opposed quadrants of a two by two array. Each Hall sensor has four contacts, arranged as two pairs of opposite contacts, the axes of each pair being substantially perpendicular. | 08-13-2009 |
20090180952 | Ligands binding the complex of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uppa) and its receptor (upar) that inhibit downstream upar interactions: identification and use in diagnosis or therapy - Antibodies or other ligands specific for the binary uPA-uPAR complexes, for ternary complexes comprising uPA-uPAR and for complexes of uPAR and proteins other than uPA such as integrins inhibit the interaction of uPA and uPAR with additional molecules with which the complexed interact. Such antibodies or other ligands are used in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, particularly against cancer. | 07-16-2009 |
20090134824 | BLDC MOTORS - A 2-phase BLDC motor is driven by a trapezoidal waveform. For one-half of the motor rotation period T, the phase is driven by the trapezoidal waveform and for the other half-period, the coil remains undriven. Accordingly, if the optimum slope duration is around 10% of the duration of the driven portion, then it is of the order of T/20. An up down counter is operable to increment at a first frequency f | 05-28-2009 |

20090096512 | Standby modes for integrated circuit devices - An integrated circuit device comprises an internal pull up current source Ipup and a pull up resistor Rpup connected in parallel between a voltage supply pin Vs and an output node OUT. A standby switch SBY is connected in series with the pull up resistor Rpup. The standby switch SBY is controlled by a standby detect means SBY Detect, which is also connected to the output node OUT. If it is desired to switch the device to standby mode, the output node OUT is externally drawn to ground by microprocessor | 04-16-2009 |
