Abstract: The system has a pulse rectifier that generates the individual phase voltages and can be controlled in PWM or block modes. Software elements generate PWM and block control signals that determine the PWM and block signal changeover times. A switch selects the PWM or block control signal and feeds it to a PWM/block signal device that receives one of the control signals and outputs the corresponding PWM or block signal.  The system determines longitudinal and transverse voltages as control parameters and has a pulse rectifier (12) that generates the phase voltages for the individual phases and can be controlled in PWM or block modes with PWM (20) or block (21) signals. Software elements (4,16;15,16) generate PWM and block control signals that determine the PWM and block signal changeover times. A switch (17) selects the PWM or block control signal and feeds it to a PWM/block signal device (18) that receives one of the control signals and outputs the corresponding PWM or block signal. An Independent claim is also included for the following:  (a) a method of optionally regulating a polyphase electrical machine in PWM or block mode, especially a synchronous machine.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are provided for
synchronizing a slave clock time with reference time signals received from a master
clock. A first basis set of reference time signals received from a master clock is
collected. A first comparison set of slave time signals from a slave clock is
identified such that each of the slave time signals in the first comparison set
correspond with receipt of each of reference time signals in the first basis set. A
difference between each of the reference time signals in the first basis set and the
slave time signals in the first comparison set is calculated. An average difference
between each of the reference time signals in the first basis set and the slave time
signals in the first comparison set is then calculated and a slave time kept by the
slave clock is adjusted by the average difference.

Abstract: At an optical transmission system that uses plural light
sources for Raman amplification, even when a failure occurred in a
pumping light source in one of the light sources for Raman
amplification, the signal light output level and its wavelength
characteristic are not deteriorated at the final stage, and the number
of components in the system is not made to be large and the cost of the
system is not made to be high. This optical transmission system is
provided. At an optical transmission system using "n" light sources
for Raman amplification, a first to "n-1"th light sources for Raman
amplification do not provide spare pumping light sources, and an "n"th
light source for Raman amplification provides the spare pumping light
sources. When a pumping light source in one of the "n" light sources
for Raman amplification had a failure, the spare pumping light source
in the "n"th light source for Raman amplification corresponding to the
failure occurred pumping light source is worked. With this, the
signal light output level and its wavelength characteristic are
recovered to a normal state before the failure occurred.

Title: Shared queue for multiple input-streams
Inventor: ANAND VISHAL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: A queuing system uses a common buffer for receiving input data from multiple-inputs, by allocating memory-elements in the common buffer to each input-stream, as the streams provide their input data. To allow for an independently controlled unloading of the individual data-items from the multiple-input common buffer, the system maintains a mapping of the memory locations of the buffer that is allocated to each data-item in each input-stream. To minimize the memory and overhead associated with maintaining a mapping of each data-item, memory locations that are allocated to each input-stream are maintained in a sequential, first-in, first-out queue. When a subsequent receiving device acknowledges that it is ready to receive a data-item from a particular input-stream, the identification of the allocated memory location is removed from the input-stream's queue, and the data-item that is at the allocated memory in the common buffer is provided to the receiving device.

Abstract: Injection molding and blow molding systems (10a) that include screws (14a) having low L:D ratios are provided. The systems are capable of producing microcellular polymeric materials. In some cases, the systems may be formed by retrofitting conventional polymer processing systems. Retrofitting may involve changing (e.g., machining or replacing) existing components of the conventional system, as well as, adding new components to the system. For example, retrofitting generally involves replacing the conventional polymer processing screw with a new designed to satisfy conditions needed for processing microcellular materials. In other cases, the systems may be newly manufactured. The retrofitted or newly manufactured systems of the invention are considerably less expensive than newly manufactured microcellular processing systems having higher L:D ratios.

Abstract: A conventional color printing device has a problem that
the device cannot deal with a case where deviation occurs in a
color ink ejecting amount due to age softening of a print head.
Further, it also has a problem that an adjustment at a factory
is required every device to increase manufacturing process,
thereby being troublesome. 
     A deviation in output characteristics of a printer 31 is
written in a PROM area of a print head unit 31a1 as well as the
PROM area is read, or a predetermined adjusting patterns are
printed and the one closest to gray is selected among this patterns
to be inputted, so that the deviation in output characteristics
in the printer 31 can be received. Moreover, a color correction
look-up table is formed to perform a color conversion so as to
eliminate this deviation for rewriting a color conversion look-up
table, whereby a color correction foreseeing the deviation is
performed by referring to the rewritten color conversion look-up
table when a printing operation is actually executed based upon
color image data. Therefore, a printed matter does not have the
deviation existing in a hardware of the printer 31, thereby
capable of faithfully reproducing color.
