Characteristic oscillation periods and overall drive take-up times, experimentally determined, are entered in control unit memory. The unit receives operational input every e.g. 10ms covering e.g. instantaneous acceleration, accelerator pedal position, and prime mover variables, and controls engine or electric motor torque. If, e.g., decelerating (al) the driver calls for an acceleration (a2), the...

A method for exposing one or more synthetically-produced nucleotide RNA or DNA sequences in liquid phase and in the presence of excess deoxynucleotides or nucleotides and a predetermined polymerase respectively, from a primer oligonucleotide hybridized with a nucleic acid which is to be detected in a biological sample. Said method includes exposing in the sample the production of pyrophosphate (PP...

A modulation and demodulation scheme for video signals may be used for HDTV signals using VSB-PAM, analog NTSC signals using VSB-AM and digital video signals using QAM. VSB-PAM modulation and demodulation may be performed using in-phase and quadrature baseband filters. By adjusting the filter taps, a single modulator structure may be used for QAM and VSB-PAM modulation. Similarly, a single demodul...
