Inventor: WELLS MARK A
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2009-05-27
Abstract: Transducer modules for use in a blood analysis instrument and methods for analyzing a blood sample. The transducer modules presented generally include a light source, a focus alignment system, a flow cell, and a light scatter detection system. Electrodes within the flow cell allow for the measurement of the DC impedance and RF conductivity of cells passing through a cell-interrogation zone in the flow cell. Light scatter from the cells passing through the cell-interrogation zone is measured by the light scatter detection system. The presented methods for analyzing a blood sample generally include aspirating a whole blood sample into a blood analysis instrument, preparing the blood sample for analysis, passing the blood sample through a flow cell in a transducer system, and measuring axial light loss, multiple angles of light scatter, DC impedance and/or RF conductivity.

Abstract: A voltage command generation unit (240) generates a voltage command value (Vd#, Vq#), based on a current deviation (ΔId, ΔIq) relative to a current command value (Idcom, Iqcom). A dq-axis voltage filter (300) generates a voltage command value (Vdf, Vqf) subjected to a filtering process for smoothing a change of the voltage command value (Vd#, Vq#) in a time axis direction. Then, the voltage command value (Vdf, Vqf) subjected to the filter processing is subjected to a voltage amplitude correcting process and a two-phase to three-phase coordinate converting process, so that a phase voltage command for an AC motor M1 is generated. Thus, it is possible to prevent both an amplitude and a phase of the voltage command for the AC motor M1 from being changed rapidly even at a time of control mode switchover.

Abstract: L’invention concerne une unité de commande de température adaptative (10) comprenant un dispositif de mesure d’une résistance, un matériau électro-conducteur (50), une alimentation électrique (11), et un dispositif de commande de puissance (12). Lors du fonctionnement, l’unité de commande (10) détermine la résistance du matériau (50) à une ou plusieurs températures, et détermine ainsi la résistance du matériau (50) sur une plage de températures de fonctionnement. En fonction de cette détermination, dans la mesure où la tension et la puissance sont connues, la résistance du matériau (50) et donc sa température, sont connues. Par conséquent la tension ou la puissance peuvent être modifiées instantanément afin d’assurer une commande quasi infinie de la température du matériau.
