Abstract: A drive device for a vehicle miniaturizable or enabling an improvement in fuel consumption, comprising a selector clutch (C0) and a selector brake (B0) as differential state selector devices for selectively switching between a differential state (steplessly variable transmission state) in which a power distribution mechanism (16) can be operated as an electric steplessly variable transmission and a fixed speed state in which the power distribution mechanism can be operated as a transmission with a fixed transmission gear ratio. In the high speed traveling area of the vehicle or in the high rotational speed area of an engine (8), the power distribution mechanism (16) is brought into the fixed speed state, and the output of the engine (8) is transmitted to drive wheels (38) exclusively through a mechanical power transmission route to suppress the loss of conversion between the power and an electric power so as to improve the fuel consumption. Also, in the high output area of the engine (8), the power distribution mechanism (16) is brought into the fixed speed state, and an electric reaction to be assured by a first motor (M1) can be reduced. As a result, the first motor (M) or the drive device (10) for the vehicle including the first motor can be further miniaturized.

Abstract: Circuit d'attaque d'une charge dans lequel le mécanisme de coupure destiné à couper une alimentation principale lorsqu'une défaillance se produit est du type à sûreté intégrée. Le circuit peut attaquer une charge inductive, économisant de la puissance. Le circuit est également amélioré du point de vue de la temporisation de son arrêt de fonctionnement. Le mécanisme de coupure est du type sans contact. Dans un circuit d'alimentation destiné à alimenter la charge en puissance est interposé un moyen destiné à détecter une défaillance des éléments de commutation à semi-conducteur effectuant une commande de MARCHE/ARRET de l'alimentation en puissance de la charge. Le mécanisme de coupure est actionné par la sortie du moyen de détection de défaillance. Lors de l'attaque d'une charge inductive, deux alimentations en puissance destinées à alimenter la charge sont interposées dans le circuit d'alimentation. Lors de la production d'un signal donnant au circuit d'alimentation l'instruction d'attaquer la charge, une haute tension est appliquée à la charge par les deux alimentations, et après un temps prédéterminé, une des deux alimentations est stoppée. Dans un fonctionnement statique, une basse tension est appliquée à la charge, acheminant la puissance au moyen d'une alimentation, utilisant le signal afin de donner au circuit d'alimentation l'instruction d'attaquer la charge, une sortie de modulation de largeur d'impulsion est créée. A l'aide de la sortie, une puissance est fournie à la charge par l'intermédiaire d'un transformateur. Ainsi, lorsque la charge est attaquée de façon statique, une tension inférieure à la tension du début du fonctionnement d'attaque est fournie. On économise ainsi de la puissance d'attaque d'une charge, et on réduit la temporisation d'arrêt de fonctionnement.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the bed temperature in a circulating fluidized bed reactor
Inventor: BELIN FELIX
IPC: F22B31/00
Filed: 1995-01-26
Abstract: Bed temperature in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor is controlled by varying a recirculation rate of particles collected by a secondary particle separator back to the CFB reactor. Particle storage means, sized to contain sufficient inventory required for bed inventory/temperature control due to fuel/sorbent variations and/or load changes, stores particles collected by the secondary particle separator. The storage means can be either directly below the secondary particle separator or at a remote location. Particles collected by the secondary particle separator rather than by the primary particle separator are preferred due to their smaller size and lower temperature. A bed temperature control system controls the recirculation rate of these particles back to the reactor. Level sensing devices are provided on the storage means. A solids storage level control system that interacts with the bed temperature control system controls the solids inventory in the storage means via a purge system.
