Patent EP-0664435-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KERVINEN JOHN ARVO
IPC: G01B17/02
Filed: 1994-11-29
Abstract: A combined ultrasonic and eddy-current method and apparatus for non-destructively determining the liner thickness of a zirconium liner provided at the inner surface of a zirconium alloy nuclear fuel rod tube utilizes dimensional data acquired via conventional ultrasonic measurement techniques and impedance data acquired through electromagnetic techniques to calculate liner thickness in accordance with a specific formula. The apparatus utilizes a computer or programmable arithmetic unit with associated memory and I/O devices connected to electromagnetic and ultrasonic measurement subsystems. A particular eddy-current probe arrangement consisting of a differential coil pair is employed to obtain impedance measurements from the outside of the cladding tube. Calibrated reference impedance values for various different inner and outer tube diameters having a constant liner thickness are measured and retained in a memory. Calibrated reference impedance values for various liner thicknesses with the same inside and outside diameter are also measured and stored. A specimen cladding tube is tested and an inside diameter is computed using conventional electromagnetic techniques. The specimen tube inside diameter is also measured ultrasonically and a specific calculation of liner thickness is performed based on the difference between the inside diameter as determined by ultrasonic technique and the inside diameter as measured by eddy-current technique. The specific method of calculation utilized corrects for the erroneous effect that variations in cladding tube liner thickness can have on dimensions computed via conventional electromagnetic eddy-current techniques alone.

Abstract: A battery charging apparatus includes a charger (12) to which a battery (16) to be charged is loaded and a charge controller (10) which controls a charge in the charger. A terminal voltage of the battery loaded in the charger is sampled and A/D converted by a microcomputer (26) of the charge controller at time intervals. At every timing when a new sampled value is stored in a memory, the new sampled value is compared with a maximum sampled value which has been stored in the memory before that time. When the new sampled value is smaller than the maximum sampled value by a predetermined value (AV), a full-charge signal is outputted. In addition, when a state where the new sampled value is larger than the maximum sampled value continues for a predetermined time period or more, the maximum sampled value is updated.

Abstract: A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine, having a feedback loop. In the system, the quantity of fuel injection (Tim) to be supplied to the engine (plant) is determined outside of the feedback loop. A first feedback correction coefficient (KSTR) is calculated using an adaptive law, while a second feedback correction coefficient (KLAF(KSTRL)), whose control response is inferior to the first feedback correction coefficient is calculated, using a PID control law. The feedback correction coefficients are calculated such that the plant output (air/fuel ratio) is brought to a desired (desired air/fuel ratio). A Variable(s) of one coefficients is replaced with a value of the other coefficient such that the one coefficient becomes close to the other. Moreover, the second coefficient (KLAF(KSTRL) is used at a time of returning from open-loop to the feedback control.

sputtering bombardment. Second and third conductive films
for the window layer are then formed by DC magnetron
