Patent CA-2675304-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOO HYUK
IPC: F16H3/66
Filed: 2008-01-16
Abstract: Disclosed therein is a transmission, which is adapted to have a deceleration structure while generating an output in the same direction as when a motive power is rotated forwardly when the motive power is rotated reversely. The transmission includes: a motor having a driving shaft; an output cover adapted to surround the outside of the motor and rotated by receiving a rotational force of the motor; fixed shafts adapted to extend toward both sides of the output cover; and a transmission formed between the driving shaft and the output cover. The transmission is selectively connected according to the rotational direction of the driving shaft to thereby provide an output at a constant speed or a reduced speed only in a predetermined direction. The transmission provides a constant speed output in the forward direction since the driving shaft and the output cover are directly connected to each other when the driving shaft is rotated forwardly, but provides a decelerated output in the forward direction since a reduction planetary gear is geared between the driving shaft and the output cover when the driving shaft is rotated reversely. In addition, a controlling device for automatically controlling the transmission for the motor according to a load applied to the output side is also provided.

Title: Two-stage model predictive control technique
Inventor: CHENG XU
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A two-stage model predictive control (MPC) controller uses a process model and two separate MPC control modules, including a feedfoward MPC control module and a feedback MPC control module, to determine a set of control signals for use in controlling a process.  The feedforward MPC control module uses the process model to determine a feedforward control component for each of a set of control signals and the feedback MPC  control module uses the process model and one or more measured process outputs to determine a feedback control component for each of the set of control signals. The two-stage MPC  controller combines the feedforward control components with the feedback control components to form the final control signals used to control the process. The two different control modules may receive separate and different inputs from the process to determine the feedforward control components and the feedback control components, and may be tuned separately, to thereby enable a control operator or other user to perform more standardized and stabilized tuning within an MPC controller environment.
