Title: Methods of reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete pore solutions
Inventor: BROWN PAUL W
IPC: C04B14/04
Filed: 2005-08-29
Abstract: Methods of reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete pore solutions are provided.  Such methods are useful in providing resistance to gels which form in concrete due to the alkali-silica (ASR) reaction. The methods comprise, in one aspect, adding a salt to the concrete, in aqueous or solid form, the salt having a cation higher in valence than the anion. In other aspects, the methods of the present invention comprise adding an acidic phosphate or a silicon-containing alkoxide to the concrete. All of the above methods are useful in reducing hydroxyl ions in concrete. Such methods can be used to resist ASR in fresh concrete, in concrete that is setting, or in hardened concrete.

Abstract: A brake control device for an electric vehicle suppresses excessive brake force or shortage of brake force. An electric-brake-force instruction controller (15) generates an electric-brake force instruction (14) to each motor. A comparison pattern generator (5) generates a release-notification-signal electric-brake-force comparison pattern (10) obtained by shifting a release-electric-brake--force comparison pattern (9) by a predetermined frequency to a side on which motor frequency increases. The release--electric-brake-force comparison pattern (9) changes over electric brake force to machine brake force while reducing electric brake force to zero at a closing speed of the electric brake. A comparator (7) outputs, as an electric--brake force pattern (11), a smaller signal selected from the electric-brake force instruction (14) and the release-electric-brake-force comparison pattern (9) to a motor controller (31). A comparator (8) outputs, as a release notification signal (4), a signal output at a timing when the release-notification-signal electric-brake-force comparison pattern (10) becomes equal to or smaller than the electric-brake force instruction (14) to a machine brake controller (2).
