Title: Methods for modeling two-dimensional responses of cross-machine direction actuators in sheet-forming processes
Inventor: CHEN SHIH-CHIN
IPC: G05B17/00
Filed: 1999-06-11
Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A plurality of random probing sequences are used to perturb a corresponding plurality of CD actuators of a web manufacturing machine. The web of sheet material is measured as the CD actuators are perturbed. The global process MD dynamics is estimated and a CD response is estimated for each of the plurality of CD actuators using the plurality of random probing sequences, measurements of the web of sheet material and the estimated global process MD dynamics. The estimated global process MD dynamics and the estimated CD responses form 2D responses for the plurality of CD actuators. Through appropriate processing a family of probable CD responses are generated within the variation bounds and a most probable response is selected from the family of probable responses for each CD actuator response. The CD response for each CD actuator is replaced with the most probable response shifted by an appropriate amount for each CD actuator and multiplied by an optimal gain.

Abstract: An electronically commutated motor comprising a stator and a rotor. The inventive motor also has at least two stator phase windings ( 112, 114), whereby each winding can be activated by means of an associated power transistor (126, 128) and said windings are controlled in push-pull mode by rotor position signals (OUT1, OUT2) according to the position of the rotor (116). The signals are transmitted to the bases of the power transistors via a resistance (150, 156). A discharge resistance (160) provided for the base of a first power transistor (124) is connected in series to a first interlocking transistor (172). A discharge resistance (170) connected in series to a second interlocking transistor (172) is provided for the base of the other power transistor (128).      The first interlocking transistor (162) can be controlled at least by the base signal of the second power transistor (128).      The second interlocking transistor (172) can be controlled at least by the base signal of the first power transistor (124). This prevents the two power transistors (124, 128) from becoming simultaneously conductive during commutation and makes it possible to control the commutation process by activating or deactivating the base discharge resistances (160, 170).

Granted: 2007-02-13
Abstract: The ubiquitous mobile subscriber station of the present invention enables the subscriber to receive wireless cellular mobile telecommunication services in a unified manner in both the terrestrial (ground-based) and non-terrestrial regions. The ubiquitous mobile subscriber station extends the usage of existing cellular mobile telecommunication frequencies allocated for ground-based cellular communications to non-terrestrial cellular communications in a manner that avoids the possibility of signal interference between the ground-based and non-terrestrial mobile subscriber stations. In particular, the ubiquitous mobile subscriber station automatically transitions between the communications paradigm used in ground-based cellular communications and the communications paradigm used in non-terrestrial cellular communications as a function of the present location of the ubiquitous mobile subscriber station.      The subscriber therefore can use the ubiquitous mobile subscriber station in all locations for uninterrupted wireless communications services. In addition, the non-terrestrial capabilities of the ubiquitous mobile subscriber station can be used to implement data transmission capabilities for use in the aircraft to provide Flight Information Services, real time monitoring of aircraft operation, as well as enhanced data communication services for the passengers in the aircraft.

Inventor: HARGREAVES THOMAS E
IPC: B29C53/12
Filed: 2002-02-08
Granted: 2005-11-15
Abstract: A machine and method for forming a spring coil (12) in a length of hollow, cylindrical thermoplastic tubing(10) comprises clamping the ends of a predetermined length of cylindrical thermoplastic tubing between first (90) and second (54) opposing spaced clamping members. In the machine, these clamping members include aligned first and second sections of a mandrel (28 and 30). These first and second clamping members then are rotated relative to one another (via 76, 78) by a predetermined amount selected to be slightly in excess of 360°, while the mandrels are simultaneously moved toward one another (via 24 and 26), to shorten the distance between the ends of the length of tubing, while the coil is formed. At the end of this relative rotation, the mandrel sections engage one another (at 29, 31). The clamped tube (l0), with the coil (12) now formed around the mandrels, is rotated (via 94, 96) and simultaneously heated (via 110) to the thermosetting temperature of the tubing. After a sufficient time to establish thermosetting of the coil, the heat is removed.        Rotation continues while the tube is cooled. Following the cooling cycle, the apparatus operates to release the tubing, with the formed coil in it, from the machine.

Title: Process for treating sludge
Inventor: MIURA NOBUYOSHI
IPC: B01D21/00
Filed: 2002-02-07
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: A process for treating sludge is disclosed. Sludge to which a flocculating agent has been added is stirred by a stirring pump or shear-stirred by a liquid shear-stirrer prior to initiation of flocculation reaction of the flocculating agent to render the flocculating agent in a fine particulate state to thereby disperse, diffuse or distribute the flocculating agent in a fine particulate state throughout the sludge, so that flocks or aggregate structure type flocks or blocks can be efficiently formed. A treating line is constructed such that the sludge can flow therein as a laminar flow. The distance from a flocculating agent injection part to a stirring pump is made to a distance such that the flocculating agent can pass through in a reaction initiation time obtained in advance for the flocculating agent. The time at which flocculation strength of flocks formed by the flocculation reaction of the flocculating agent is maximal is experimentally confirmed in advance and a solid-liquid separator is set at a position where at such time the flocks can reside by the solid-liquid separator.

Abstract: Méthode pour détecter et contrôler en continu la formation d'hydrates en tout point d'une conduite où circulent des fluides pétroliers polyphasiques. On utilise un code compositionnel permettant de simuler les modes et conditions de circulation en tout point de la conduite, en considérant que le mélange de fluides est sensiblement à l'équilibre à chaque instant, que la composition du mélange polyphasique est variable tout le long de la conduite et que la masse de chaque constituant du mélange est définie globalement par une équation de conservation de la masse sans considération de son état de phase. On détecte les conditions thermodynamiques de formation d'hydrates après avoir opéré un regroupement particulier des fluides pétroliers en pseudo-composants de façon à isoler les composants formateurs d'hydrates, avec définition pour chacun d'eux d'une fraction massique et d'un certain nombre de grandeurs physiques caractéristiques, et on applique aux modules, les données relatives à ces fractions particulières, de manière à déterminer en tout point la température (Td) de dissociation des hydrates. On peut utiliser aussi un organe de contrôle (C) pour comparer la température des fluides pétroliers à cette température de dissociation (Td), et appliquer sous le contrôle de cet organe de contrôle (C), des mesures destinées à combattre la formation des hydrates. Applications à la production pétrolière en eaux profondes par exemple.
