Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for returnable packaging,
such as cans and bottles for disposal in reverse vending machines. In such a machine,
one or more returnable bottles or cans are received from a customer and in return for
the drink containers, refund money is given to the customer corresponding to the
returned drink containers based on an identification and a count performed by the
reverse vending machine. Reverse vending machines are typically installed in
supermarkets where customers return their empty bottles and/or cans and dispose
them in the reverse vending machine before doing the shopping. 
     By the present invention, a new type of reverse vending machine is provided, where
the reverse vending machine is installed on a mobile platform, which may be moved
to between collection sites for domestic collection of returnable drink containers.
This means that the customers no longer must store and transport the empty
packaging back to the store in order to receive the refund. Instead, a recycling
scheme may be provided, in particular in urban habitats, which is circulated in
housing estates or the like for collecting the packaging in the domestic areas where
the drink containers are typically consumed.

Title: Controller for induction motor
Inventor: IWASHITA YASUSUKE
IPC: H02P27/04
Filed: 2003-11-19
Abstract: A controller for vector control of an induction motor
(7) is capable of easily determining rotor resistance (R 2 )
for use in calculation of slip frequency (ωs). A
temperature sensor (9) is provided for detecting
temperature of the stator of the motor (7). Information on
the relation between the rotor or stator temperature (T)
and the rotor resistance (R 2 ) predetermined based on
measurement is stored in a table (43). In driving the
induction motor (7), the rotor resistance (R 2 ) for the
stator temperature (T) detected by the temperature sensor
(9) is read from the table (43). A torque command (I 2 ) is
divided by a magnetic flux command (Φ 2 ) and the obtained
quotient is multiplied by the read value of the rotor
resistance (R 2 ) to obtain the slip frequency (ωs), so that
the vector control is performed based on the obtained slip
frequency (ωs). The value of the rotor resistance (R 2 ) is
easily determined by simply referring to the table (43)
without complicated calculation. Since the stored
information on the rotor resistance (R 2 ) is based on
measured values, a more precise value of the slip frequency
(ωs) is obtained to realize a precise vector control of the
induction motor (7).
