Abstract: A polishing apparatus is used for polishing a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer to a flat mirror finish. The polishing apparatus includes a polishing table (12) having a polishing surface, a top ring (20) configured to hold and press the substrate against the polishing surface, a top ring shaft (18) configured to lift and lower the top ring, and an elongation detecting device (70) configured to detect an elongation of the top ring shaft. The polishing apparatus further includes a controller (47) configured to set a vertical position of the top ring at the time of polishing, and control a lifting and lowering mechanism (24) to lower the top ring to a preset polishing position as the set vertical position. The controller corrects the preset polishing position based on the elongation of the top ring shaft which has been detected by the elongation detecting device.

Abstract: An output control unit outputs data of bit rate A to a first header-attaching unit and data of bit rate B to a second header-attaching unit. An instructing unit instructs the first or the second header-attaching unit to attach a header of bit rate being the least bit rate to the data of bit rate A or B. The first header-attaching unit creates a header of bit rate A, including an ID of a destination ONU of the data of bit rate A and information concerning the data length, and attaches the header of bit rate A to the data of bit rate A. The second header-attaching unit creates a header of bit rate A, including an ID of the destination ONU of the data of bit rate B and information concerning the data length, and attaches the header of bit rate A to the data of bit rate B.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for synchronizing one or more output/sink devices (104a,104b) are described. In each sink device (104a,104b), a communication packet is received from a source device (102). The communication packet includes data and a source clock timestamp. A local clock signal is generated that is synchronized with a source clock signal of the source device. The data is decoded using a codec. At least one delay and the source clock timestamp are subtracted from a current value of the local clock signal to generate a local latency value. A difference between a desired latency value and the local latency value is determined (502a,502b). A rate of a clock signal of the codec is adjusted according to the determined difference. Because each sink device adjusts its latency to a common desired latency value, the sink devices are thereby synchronized.

Abstract: An apparatus is for controlling rotation of an engine mounted on a vehicle. In the apparatus, a count of a crank counter is updated based on a signal changing In accordance with rotation of a crankshaft. The count indicates a rotational position of the crankshaft. The rotation of the engine is controlled based on the count of the crank counter. An idle stop control member issues an engine stop request when it is determined that engine stop conditions are met, and then issues a command to crank the engine for restarting the engine when it is determined that engine start conditions are met. Further, an update prohibiting members prohibits the counter from being updated during a period of time ranging from a time instant when the engine stops in response to the engine stop request to a time instant when it is determined that the engine start conditions are met.

Abstract: A method and controller for identifying lean blowout conditions in a Dry Low NO x  (DLN) combustor of a gas turbine 580 during a premix mode. An effective approach to quickly and reliably identify a blowout during operation in the premix mode is by the effect on fuel normalized power (FNP) 515. FNP 515 is a useful signal, in that a power reduction from a blowout may be distinguished much slower changes in power resulting from global fuel demand (changing load request). A difference 520 between the calculated FNP 515 and a filtered FNP parameter 518 may be compared against a predetermined threshold 521. If the difference520 exceeds the predetermined threshold 521, a lean blowout is identified and a signal 525 may be transmitted to the turbine controls 575 to reposition combustor operation away from blowout conditions.

Title: Bearing unit
Inventor: ANGER ANDRE
IPC: F16C35/067
Filed: 2008-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing unit. A bearing shell (6) of a bearing unit (1) comprises a projection (17) which plastically deforms, when mounted, a bore (14) of an adjacent component (15) while producing a recess, thereby protecting the bearing shell (6) from being axially displaced in the direction of a bearing axis (7-7) and from being twisted in the peripheral direction. The position and anti-twist locking effect is thus achieved by producing a recess in the adjacent component (15) in which recess the projection (17) is accommodated in a form-fit manner. The invention is preferably used for bearing a starter shaft in a starter of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a continuously variable transmission incorporating a variator of the type having at least two co-axial races (D1-D4) between which drive is transferred at a continuously variable variator ratio. The variator races are mounted for rotation about a variator shaft (16). The transmission has a layshaft (18) which is laterally separated from the variator shaft. It has two epicyclic gears. A splitter epicyclic (14) has an input member driven from the transmission input (10) and two output members arranged respectively to drive the layshaft and the variator shaft. A recirculater epicyclic has first and second input members for coupling respectively to the variator shaft and to the layshaft and a recirculater output member. An arrangement of clutches is provided for selectively engaging any of at least three regimes. In one regime the recirculater output member drives the transmission output. In another the layshaft drives the transmission output. In a third, the variator shaft drives the transmission output. The arrangement of the components is such that the variator shaft is co-axial with the transmission output, the recirculater epicyclic, a first coupling, between the recirculater output member and the transmission output, which serves to drive the transmission output in the first regime, and a second coupling, between the variator shaft and the transmission output, which serves to drive the transmission output in the third above-mentioned regime.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés pour délivrer des substances à libérer, par exemple des médicaments et d'autres substances bioactives. Des systèmes polymères cristallins, désignés par support CYC, sont associés aux substances à libérer, par des liaisons chimiques ou par association physique. La cristallinité des supports CYC est due à la présence de chaînes latérales cristallisables, par exemple, des résidus n-alkyle à longue chaîne, qui donnent des températures de fusion relativement basses et précises. Les supports CYC d'une catégorie, désignés par polymères CYSC, comportent une majorité de chaînes latérales cristallisables pendantes du squelette de polymère. Les supports CYC d'une autre catégorie, désignés par polymères ECC, comportent une majorité de chaînes latérales cristallisables attachées aux motifs terminaux du squelette de polymère. Les polymères ECC peuvent être obtenus, par exemple, par modification de polymères PLGA. Des supports CYC se situent dans une autre catégorie de substances non polymères. Certains supports CYC, désignés par ensembles CYC, ont une cristallinité améliorée due à l'association physique de résidus cristallisables qui sont présents dans différents types de molécules, par exemple entre un polymère contenant des résidus cristallisables et un monomère contenant des résidus cristallisables. Pour certaines utilisations, en particulier la délivrance de médicaments, on utilise de préférence un support CYC bioérodable.
