Patent EP-1336241-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHIERLING HUBERT
IPC: H02M7/537
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a matrix converter (4) having nine bi-directional power circuit breakers (S11,...,S33) arranged in a 3 X 3 switch matrix, whereby switching states of a modulation period are each calculated with associated time intervals by using a space vector modulation method. According to the invention, these  calculated switching states are each divided into switching states of an output phase (1, 2, 3) of the matrix converter (4) to each of which an associated time interval is assigned. In addition, the output phase-related switching states with associated time intervals are temporally combined to form a pulse train of a modulation period according to determined input voltages (U1, U2, U3). The output phase-related switchingstates are combined in such a manner that a sequential commutation always occurs to an adjacent input voltage (U1, U2, U3). This results in significantly improving the switching loss behavior of a matrix converter (4).

Abstract: A scanning optical system using a short-wavelength
light of 500 nm or less uses a
reflecting mirror having a higher absolute
reflectivity and having reduced wavelength and
angle dependences. Divergent ray of light emitted
from a semiconductor laser is converted into an
approximately parallel light beam by a collimator
lens and the diameter of the light flux is reduced
by an aperture before travel to a polygon mirror.
The light beam from the polygon mirror passes
through scanning lenses to form a small spot at
any point in the entire scanning area. The
semiconductor laser is a gallium nitride
semiconductor laser having an oscillation
wavelength of 408 nm. The polygon mirror has such
a characteristic that, if the complex refractive
index N of a metallic film contributing to a
reflection characteristic of the reflecting mirror
is defined as N(λ) = n(λ) - ik(λ), then k(λ) >    (-n λ  + 18n λ  - 1)    is satisfied.

Each architecture thus defined having a different processing complexity, the overall processing resources available can be optimally used and minimized along a group of frames in the transcoding of parts of said frames in accordance with one of these four architectures, while ensuring a good video quality of tanscoded signal (109). A cost-effective control strategy of said switches based on an energy prediction of said coding error is also proposed.
