Title: Compensation Method for Time Delays in Oscillartory Control
Inventor: SCHNIEDER MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G05D19/02
Filed: 2006-06-12
Abstract: A system and method that compensates for the time delay between a sensed oscillatory signal and an oscillatory input control signal TCin 28 are provided. Initially, an oscillation signal is detected and/or a need for time delay compensation is determined. An algorithm is performed on the TCin to provide an actuator output signal, TCout 32 preferably when TCin has peaked and has begun to be reduced from the peak by a delta amount, the actuator output TCout is commanded immediately to a central value of the oscillation. Alternatively when the control signal TCin has peaked and has begun to be reduced from the peak by a delta amount, the actuator output TCout is commanded immediately to an alternate value with an offset large enough to drive the TCout past the central value of the oscillation and toward an opposite peak.

Title: Thermally insulated and moisture repellant textile structure
Inventor: WU MING LAI
IPC: A41B17/00
Filed: 2006-06-22
Abstract: A thermally insulated and moisture-repellent textile structure consists of an inner layer (10) (contact skin): made of moisture-absorbent and sweat-repellent ultrafine fiber; a middle layer (20) made of thermally insulated and anti-static metal yarns combined with moisture-absorbent and sweat-repellent ultrafine fibers; and an outer layer (30) made of moisture-absorbent and breathable pure cotton. When such textiles are applied to apparel like underwear, sweaters or jackets, the ultrafine fibers in the inner layer can completely absorb excessive water molecules on skin surface. When these water molecules that carry body heat pass through the middle layer, through the dual functions of the metal yarns of thermal insulation and the ultra fine fibers of moisture absorbance and sweat repellency, the water molecules are completely absorbed by the outer layer of pure cotton and repelled from the body. The body heat is conserved between the middle layer and human body. Thus when such textile is worn, besides the anti-static and anti-bacteria property of the metal yarns, body dryness and comfort can be kept at a constant body temperature. It greatly improves the textile in the effect of moisture-absorbance and sweat-repellency and thermal insulation.
