Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: A basic required manipulated variable Mfbdmd_a is determined on the basis of a state amount error, which is the difference between a state amount of a motion of an actual vehicle 1 and a reference state amount, then a driving/braking force manipulation control input Fxfbdmd_n of a wheel is determined on the basis of the above basic required manipulated variable. At this time, a change in a driving/braking force operation control input Fxdmd_n of a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, of a particular set is made to be proportional to a change in the basic required manipulated variable Mfbdmd_a, and the ratio (gain) of a change in Fxdmd_n with respect to a change in Mfbdmd_a is made to change on the basis of gain adjustment parameters, such as side slip angles .beta.f_act and .beta.r_act. This makes it possible to properly control a motion of the actual vehicle to a desired motion by properly manipulating a road surface reaction force acting on a front wheel of the vehicle and a road surface reaction force acting on a rear wheel.

Abstract: Compatibility and consolidation analyses can be performed on a collection of systems to evaluate the 1-to-1 compatibility of every source-target pair, evaluate the multi-dimensional compatibility of specific transfer sets, and to determine the best consolidation solution based on various constraints including the compatibility scores of the transfer sets. The analyses can be done together or be performed independently. These analyses are based on collected system data related to their technical configuration, business factors and workloads. Differential rule sets and workload compatibility algorithms are used to evaluate the compatibility of systems. The technical configuration, business and workload related compatibility results are combined to create an overall compatibility assessment. These results are visually represented using color coded scorecard maps.

Abstract: A method of bonding a film (2) to a curved substrate (1) comprises preforming the film by applying a pneumatic pressure difference between two sides of the film and by heating said film. An intermediate shape is then conferred on the film, which is suitable for applying the film against a curved face of the substrate. This application is carried out, on the one hand, by keeping the film in the intermediate shape by means of an adjusted pressure difference applied between the two sides of the film and, on the other hand, by pressing the substrate against the film by means of a movable support (12-14). Such a method is used to obtain a defect-free ophthalmic lens with a film bonded to it.
