Title: Control arrangement and method for regulating the output current of a dc source power converter connected to a multi-source dc system
Inventor: STEPHENS RICHARD IAN
IPC: H02J3/36
Filed: 2012-02-29
Abstract: Control arrangement and method for regulating the output current of a dc source power converter connected to a multi-source dc system A converter control arrangement (18) for regulating the output current of a dc source power converter (16) comprises a current regulator (20) for regulating the output current based on a comparison of an output current value (Iout) of the dc source power converter (16) with a desired target current value (Itgt). When the output voltage value (Vout) of the dc source power converter (16) is within a normal operating voltage range between minimum and maximum voltage values (Vmin, Vmax) defined with respect to a voltage reference value (Vref) of the dc source power converter (16), the converter control arrangement (18) controls the target current value (Itgt) so that it is equal to a desired reference current value (Iref). When the output voltage value (Vout) is outside the normal operating voltage range, which typically indicates a fault condition, the converter control arrangement (18) modulates the reference current value (Iref) to provide a target current value (Itgt) that is less than the reference current value (Iref).

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the production of self-reproducing hybrid plants are provided. Compositions include suppression cassettes encoding polynucleotides and promoters that result in the MiMe diploid gamete phenotype compositions and suppression cassettes and expression cassettes useful for genome elimination of a parental diploid gamete in a fertilized zygote.

Abstract: An extendable beam measurement system includes a support; a beam mounted on the support and movable with respect to the support along an axis of movement; a series of sensory points mounted along either the beam or the support in an orientation that is not parallel to the axis of movement of the beam; and a sensor attached to the other of the beam or the support in a direction that crosses the series of sensory points at different positions during movement of the beam along said axis. The sensor generates a first signal varying as the beam is moved along the axis to thereby provide a signal indicating the position of the beam with respect to the support. The system is useful on an outrigger for supporting a crane. Optionally the system can provide a second signal indicative of whether a jack on the outrigger is contacting a support surface and supporting the crane. Alternatively, the system used to optionally generate the second signal can be used by itself to indicate whether a jack is supporting the crane, even if the beam extension is not measured.

Abstract: A straddle apparatus deploys in a borehole with tubing to treat a formation. The apparatus has first and second packer elements and a flow element disposed on the apparatus. The first and second packer elements have fill ports in fluid communication with the tubing and have packer valves, biased to open fluid communication between the packer elements and the fill port for inflating the packer elements to isolate the borehole when fluid pressure is applied. Once the elements inflate, one or more control units on the apparatus electronically activate the at packer valves to close fluid communication between the packer elements and the fill ports. Then, the one or more control units electronically activate the flow valve to open fluid communication between the flow port and the borehole so treatment can be applied to the formation zone in the isolated borehole section.

Abstract: A real-time imaging system that provides ultrasonic imaging and optoacoustic imaging coregistered through application of the same hand-held probe to generate and detect ultrasonic and optoacoustic signals. These signals are digitized, processed and used to reconstruct anatomical maps superimposed with maps of two functional parameters of blood hemoglobin index and blood oxygenation index. The blood hemoglobin index represents blood hemoglobin concentration changes in the areas of diagnostic interest relative to the background blood concentration. The blood oxygenation index represents blood oxygenation changes in the areas of diagnostic interest relative to the background level of blood oxygenation. These coregistered maps can be used to noninvasively differentiate malignant tumors from benign lumps and cysts.
