Patent EP-1296442-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LIU CHUI PONG JOE
IPC: H02M3/337
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: Typically, in a half-bridge converter A DC blocking capacitor and inductance on the
primary side combines with the inductor and capacitor on the secondary side to produce
complicated converter dynamic characteristics that make converter stabilization difficult. The
disclosed system and methods enable converter stabilization by modulating, as a function of
the voltage across the DC blocking capacitor, the feedback output error signal or the ramp
signal for the PWM controller of the converter. The modulation removes the effect of the
resonant circuit formed by the primary inductance and the DC blocking capacitor in the output
voltage regulation loop. Further adjustment of the duty cycle of the power switches enables
keeping the output voltage undisturbed by voltage variation across the DC blocking capacitor.
Since, this inner compensation loop results in the voltage regulation feedback loop respond to
only the output inductor-capacitor filter, the transfer function of this loop displays second
order characteristics from the fourth order. Hence, stability issues are simplified to
conventional second order compensation network whereby the converter can be optimized for
fast transient response.

Abstract: A film (6) composed of grease (or a film (8) composed of a thickener
for grease) is formed on a portion of the surface of each of components
constituting the bearing, the portion being opposed to a polymeric
lubricant (7), whereby the sliding frictional resistance between the
bearing components and the polymeric lubricant (7) is reduced. In the
formation of the grease film (6) (or the film (8) composed of a
thickener for grease), a method is employed in which the assembled
bearing in which the grease film (6) has not yet been shaped immersed
into a liquid which is obtained by diluting the grease (the thickener
for grease) with a solvent, and the solvent is then dried, whereby the
grease film (6) (or the film (8) composed of a thickener for grease)
having a uniform thickness can formed with high reproducibility.

Abstract: A perturbed flow of reactant gas is sent to each sample tested, using an impulse flow is sent to each sample under vacuum. There are means (6, 14, 16) of allowing a flow to be directed to each sample so they can be tested using transient kinetic methods. The sample receivers (20) are placed under vacuum.  Process for evaluating the characteristics of catalysts in which different catalyst samples are placed in parallel and tested one after another involves using transient kinetic methods. The impulse lasts less than 10ms, preferably less than 1ms, and each sample is at a pressure less than 10mbar, preferably less than 1mbar. All the samples undergo a single pre-treatment phase simultaneously. The impulse is sent to a given sample whilst the other samples are at rest. After the reactant gas is sent to the sample, it is sent to a single analysis device. Each sample receives a first reactant gas and then a second replacement reactant gas at a pressure more than or equal to atmospheric pressure. The second gas is an isotope of the first gas. Whilst one sample is supplied with the first or the second gas, the other samples are supplied with the second or the first gas.  An Independent claim is included for an installation to carry out the above process, with receivers (20) for a number of samples of catalyst, arranged in parallel. Means of creating an impulsive flow (16) are connected to means of supply (14), which are in turn connected in a selective fashion to means of distribution (30) which open into the receivers. A single supply line feeds a valve with many outlets, each of which is in communication with the corresponding means of distribution, which can be connected selectively to the supply line. The feed valve also has a pre-treatment inlet which can be connected to all the outlets to the valve except the one connected to the supply line. The receiver under vacuum is an annular reactor with a number of positions hollowed out in it for the samples. It has a single outlet connected to an analyzer.

Abstract: Pre-processing of received signals for a layered transmission scheme
is disclosed in which different data (400A,400B) is transmitted in the
same frequency band from separate incoherent transmitters possibly
located at different locations. This scheme permits a backward
compatible upgrade of an existing system. The different data streams
(400A,400B) are transmitted at different power levels, that is power
division multiplexing is used. At the receiver side, the stronger upper
layer signal is directly fed to a legacy receiver (412A), whereas the
weaker lower layer signal is pre-processed (416) before being fed to
another legacy receiver (412B). Pre-processing is done similar to a
multistage receiver, which performs successive cancellation in order to
extract each of the data streams.

Abstract: A piezoelectric resonator is immersed in a liquid, an AC
signal is applied, and a local maximum of the conductance is
determined. A frequency change due to the viscosity effect is
determined from two frequencies of three frequencies including
a resonance frequency that is applied at that local maximum,
and first and second half-value frequencies at which a
half-value conductance of half that local maximum is given. The
influence of the mass effect can be eliminated, so that an
accurate measurement of the viscosity change is possible.
Moreover, if the substance to be analyzed that is contained in
the liquid adheres to a reaction film of the piezoelectric
resonator, the mass of the piezoelectric resonator changes, and
the second half-value frequency is measured. It is thus possible
to derive only the influence of the mass effect, since the
half-value frequencies are not influenced by the viscosity
effect.

Abstract: Computerized testing of an object to identify one or more call sequences that give rise to exceptions. A set of potential operations (consisting of methods and associated parameter values) is automatically generated. A parameter generator may supply interesting parameter values that may more likely result in a thrown exception. A number of call sequences is automatically constructed using the operations in the set of operations as steps in the sequence. Each call sequence is then executed using a new instance of the object. If an exception is thrown, a report may be issued containing information helpful in evaluating whether the exception is appropriate. This information might include the exception type as well as the invalid call sequence that gave rise to the thrown exception. The invalid call sequence may also be minimized to assist the tester in evaluating the root cause and appropriateness of the exception.
