IPC: B60L50/16

Abstract: When an angular acceleration α of a rotating shaft of a
motor connected with a drive shaft exceeds a preset threshold
value αslip, which suggests the occurrence of a skid, the torque
control procedure sets a maximum torque Tmax by referring to
a map, which gives a smaller maximum torque Tmax with an increase
in angular acceleration α, and restricts the motor torque to
the maximum torque Tmax. The maximum torque Tmax is fixed to
a value corresponding to a peak value of the angular
acceleration α at the time of occurrence of a skid. The torque
control procedure then integrates the angular acceleration α
to give a time integration thereof over an integration interval
when the angular acceleration α once exceeds the preset
threshold value αslip and decreases again below the preset
threshold value αslip by the motor torque restriction. When
the motor torque restriction practically converges the skid,
the torque restricted to the maximum torque Tmax corresponding
to the peak value of the angular acceleration α is restored
to the new setting of the maximum torque Tmax corresponding to
the time integration of the angular acceleration α.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil préférés de stimulation atriale utilisant un système de stimulateur cardiaque intelligent pouvant continuer à effectuer une stimulation atriale aussi longtemps qu'une conduction auriculo-ventriculaire (AV) est détectée. Dans le cas où une conduction relativement fiable n'est pas détectée, le mode de stimulation passe au mode DDD/R ou DDI/R tout en sollicitant de manière continue le retour au mode de stimulation atriale. La conduction AV normalisée ou relativement fiable peut être modifiée soit automatiquement soit manuellement, ce qui permet d'accroître une stimulation utilisant une conduction AV naturelle, quand cela est possible, afin d'obtenir tous les bénéfices des propriétés de contraction cardiaque qui en résultent, tout en tolérant une dépolarisation ventriculaire occasionnelle manquée (c'est-à-dire une onde P non émise par conduction). Dans le cas où cette conduction relativement fiable est bloquée, le mode de stimulation passe en mode DDD/R tout en détectant un retour à une conduction AV relativement fiable (et le retour qui en résulte à la stimulation atriale préférée).
