Patent EP-1026068-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HORTON STEVEN JOHN
IPC: H02P6/16
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: An electric power assisted steering system (1) is disclosed which comprises a
steering shaft (2) connected at one end to the handwheel (2) and at its other end to
at least one roadwheel (4), whilst an electric motor (6) is connected to the steering shaft (2)
through a gearbox (7) having a non-integer reduction gear ratio. Two sensors (9;8,10) are also
provided with one (9) sensing the angular position of the motor rotor and the
other (8,10) sensing the angular position of the steering shaft (2). The presence of the
non-integer gear ratio produces a beat frequency between the output of the
two sensors (9;8,10) from which an unambiguous measurement of the angular
position of the steering shaft (2) over a range of greater than one complete
revolution can be made. The sensors (9;8,10) may comprise either absolute position
sensors or index-type sensors.

Abstract: To provide a magnetic bearing protective device and a
turbomolecular pump in which stable control can be held against
the excessive oscillation of a rotator and an external
vibration. 
     A magnetic bearing is stopped for the purpose of protecting
the same when the current flowing through radial position
controlling electromagnets (3A, 3B) and an axial position
controlling electromagnet (5) reaches to a preset value for a given
time. At this point, no limitation is put on the current flowing
through the radial position controlling electromagnet (3A), etc.,
so that the oscillation of rotor blades (1) ends early. Therefore,
less damage is given to touch down bearings (13, 15).

Abstract: An outer cannula has a first port for orienting outside the neck of a wearer, a second port for orienting within the trachea of the wearer, a first passageway coupling the first port to the second port to permit the flow of gases from the first port to the second during inhalation by the wearer and from the second port during exhalation by the wearer, and a third port between the first and second ports. An inner cannula is configured for insertion into the first passageway via the first port when the wearer desires to be able to exhale through his or her pharynx. The inner cannula includes a fourth port for orienting adjacent the first port, a fifth port for orienting adjacent the second port and a second passageway coupling the fourth port to the fifth port to permit the flow of gases from the fourth port to the fifth during inhalation by the wearer and from the fifth port during exhalation by the wearer. A valve controls flow through the third port. The valve assumes a first orientation to permit flow from the first port to the second port when the first port is at a higher pressure than the second port, and a second orientation to permit flow from the second port through the third port when the second port is at a higher pressure than the first port. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a nitride system III-V compound layer
which improves the quality and facilitates the manufacturing process and a
method of manufacturing a substrate employing the method of manufacturing a
nitride system III-V compound layer. A first growth layer (31) is grown on a
growth base (10) at a growth rate, in a vertical direction to the growth surface,
higher than 10µm/h. Subsequently, a second growth layer (32) is grown at a
growth rate, in a vertical direction to the growth surface, lower than 10µm/h.
The first growth layer (31) grown at the higher growth rate has a rough surface.
However, the second growth layer (32) is grown at the lower growth rate than that
used for growing the first growth layer (31), so that depressions of the surface of
the first growth layer (31) are filled and thus the surface of the second growth
layer (32) is flattened. Further, growth takes place laterally so as to fill the
depressions of the surface of the first growth layer (31). Thus, dislocation
extending from the first growth layer (31) bends laterally and density of
dislocation propagating to the surface of the second growth layer (32) is greatly
lowered.

Abstract: With an intention to improve picture quality without increasing the overall
number of times of data collection and to restrain artifacts resulting from
differences in noise structure between parts differing in the number of times of
addition, the total number V of views is equally divided into eight, and the
areas of the two ends of each V/8, where the absolute value of the quantity of
phase encoding is the greatest, are reduced in the number of times of
addition by 1/2 of the reference number of times N, because their
contributions to picture quality is small. The remaining middle 6V/8 areas are
increased in the number of times of addition by 1/2 of the reference number of
times N, because their contributions to picture quality are great, and further to
alleviate the non-continuity of the variations of the number of times of
addition, the number of times of addition in the middle 6V/8 areas is varied so
as to follow either a Hamming function or a Hanning function.

Abstract: An optical network has an optical splitter connected to (1) a working optical
subscriber unit (OSU) of a working circuit via a working optical fiber, (2) a protection OSU
of a protection circuit via a protection optical fiber, and (3) one or more optical network
terminals (ONTs). The present invention enables fast protection switching from the working
OSU to the protection OSU. In one embodiment, the arrival times of corresponding
upstream ranging reply PLOAM cells are measured at both the working and protection
OSUs during ranging operations of the working OSU. In another embodiment, a cell
delineation procedure is initiated at the protection OSU during normal, non-ranging
operations of the working OSU to enable the protection OSU to correctly delineate
upstream cells and the arrival times of corresponding upstream cells are then measured at
both the working and protection OSUs. In either case, a propagation delay value is
generated based on the measured arrival times for use by the protection OSU for
communications with the one or more ONTs if and when protection switching is
implemented upon detection of a failure in the working circuit, possibly without requiring
the protection OSU to perform any ranging for the one or more ONTs.
