Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling a power converter that can be used to interface to a power grid or supply network operating at a frequency (Fnet) that is nominally fixed (say at 50 Hz, for example) but which can be varied as a way of controlling power imbalanced within the network as a whole. The power converter can include a network bridge that operates in accordance with the pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy having a switching frequency (Fpwm), a nominal switching frequency (Fpwm_nom) and a number of pulses per period (Pulse_Number). The method comprising the step of varying the switching frequency (Fpwm) of the PWM strategy in accordance with the time-varying frequency (Fnet) of the supply network to achieve only integer odd harmonics of the time-varying frequency (Fnet) and adjusting the number of pulses per period (Pulse Number) in accordance with the time-varying frequency (Fnet) of the supply network to maintain a switching frequency (Fpwm) that is less than, or equal to, the nominal switching frequency (Fpwm_nom).

Abstract: L~invention concerne un comprimé dont il est possible de préserver dans une large mesure la capacité par rapport à celle des comprimés traditionnels sans en augmenter les dimensions, notamment l~épaisseur, et dont le rendement de fabrication peut être amélioré du fait de l~absence d~agglutination d~une pluralité de comprimés même en cas de traitement tel qu~un pelliculage. Dans le comprimé (1) plus long dans une direction en vue en plan, des bords latéraux (6) dans le sens de la longueur prennent des formes incurvées faisant saillie vers l~extérieur, leur rayon de courbure (R1) correspondant à au moins 1,5 fois la longueur (L) du comprimé. La région saillante du comprimé en vue en plan peut donc être équivalente à 97 % au moins de la région saillante d~un comprimé ovale traditionnel dont les deux parties d~extrémité prennent la forme de demi-cercles d~un diamètre égal à la largeur (W) du comprimé.

Abstract: A task input is received at a well service rig. The maximum allowable speed is determined for the task. Current block speed inputs are received. The throttle position for the engine controlling the block is evaluated to determine if the block is to be sped up or slowed down. When the throttle position indicates the operator is attempting to speed up the block, the current block speed is compared to the maximum allowable speed and the engine is only allowed to speed up the block up to the maximum allowable speed, at which point the operators control of block speed is limited to reducing block speed. Each task can have multiple maximum allowable speeds, which can vary based on specified conditions. When the hookload is light or the remaining equipment in the well is small, the lock-up feature for the transmission can be disengaged in addition to the block speed governing feature.

Abstract: The present document describes a method, a processor platform and a processor readable medium for controlling a supply chain for moving goods by agents according to orders. The method is for controlling globally and/or individually, and for optimizing based on live events, in real-time, in a single or multi company environment, simultaneously many well known business activities such as customer relationship management (CRM), pickup calls phone services, scheduling, monitoring of picking up and delivery of parcels and operations status, of transfer, of terminal, of interleaving and of deliveries, human resource management, pricing, maintenance, engine monitoring, device monitoring and invoicing, offering thus integrated solutions to each segment of the market of goods transportation in a single system. The method comprises:  updating a knowledge base populated with statuses of the goods; statuses of the agents;  rules for establishing expected behaviors of the goods and of the agents; and the orders. The method further comprises: determining, based on the knowledge base, instructions to be executed by the agents for moving the goods to achieve the orders, each one of the instructions having an expected completion duration; sending the instructions to the agents; receiving the instructions for execution by the agents; upon completion an instruction by an agent or when an event affects an instruction executed by an agent, the same agent sending the status of a good or its own status to the knowledge base;  and returning to the updating a knowledge base, wherein each elapsed time between each agent sending the status of a good or its own status to the knowledge base and the same agent receiving an instruction is smaller that the expected completion duration of the same instruction.

Abstract: A dimmer switch has a user adjustable high-end trim. The dimmer switch includes a bidirectional semiconductor switch, such as a triac, for controlling the amount of power delivered from a source of alternating current power to a lighting load, such as an electric lamp.  A user-adjustable timing circuit controls the conduction time of the triac from a minimum time to a maximum time. The maximum possible conduction time of the triac is the high-end trim.  The minimum possible conduction time of the triac is the low-end trim. The timing circuit includes a user-accessible switch that allows a user to reduce the high-end trim from a first nominal level to a second reduced level, lower than the first level, without substantially affecting the low-end trim. The switch allows a user to switch a transient voltage suppressor into and out of parallel connection with a resistor that is part of an RC timing circuit for the triac. The dimmer switch advantageously uses less energy and the lifetime of the lamp is extended when the second reduced level of the high-end trim is selected.
