Patent EP-0660501-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUSASE SHIN
IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 1994-12-23
Abstract: A vehicular generator motor performing generator operation and motor operation is disclosed. The generator motor comprises an AC-DC converter means and a switching means. The converter means is composed of a plurality of MOSFETs and connected between each armature coil and a vehicular storage battery. Alternating current produced across the coils is converted into a direct current for charging the battery by the AC-DC converter means in generator operation mode. In motor operation mode, the DC output from the battery is converted into an alternating current for setting up a rotating magnetic field by the converter means, and the battery output is fed to the armature coils. The mode of operation of the MOSFETs is switched between these two modes by the switching means. The rotating field produces a certain phase difference with the magnetic field developed by the rotating magnetic poles. The MOSFETs are made of SiC having a smaller resistivity than that of Si. This ensures a high withstand voltage necessary during power generation. Loss caused by large current flowing in the motor operation mode is reduced. Good driving torque can be obtained.

IPC: G05B19/404
Filed: 1994-05-11
Abstract: The accuracy of an apparatus for the movement of an object is increased by means of compensating for geometric errors and load and temperature induced deformations. The effects of the errors and deformations are stored in regularly updated compensation tables or parameterisations from which the error values as a function of position are available. The appropriate error values are selected while the complete momentary state of the apparatus can be taken into account. The derived error values can be used to correct the measured position in a feedback loop or to modify the steering signals for driving means without use of a feedback loop.

Abstract: In a vacuum casting method, a molding cavity (6) is reduced in pressure to a vacuum, and when a gate (10) is opened, a molten metal which has been raised to a molten metal retaining dome (8) is charged into the molding cavity (6) at a high speed. When a portion of a molten metal held in a molten metal holding furnace (22) is raised to the molten metal retaining dome (8), an upper surface of the molten metal is moved downwardly and upwardly through at least one cycle in the molten metal retaining dome (8), or a swirl flow is generated in the molten metal in a stalk (20). Such a unique motion as the downward and upward motion or the swirl flow effectively operates to detach solid metal pieces from an inside surface of the molten metal retaining dome (8) or the stalk (20) to push them to an upper portion of the molten metal. As a result, the detached metal pieces are prevented from being charged into the molding cavity (6) to thereby cause defects in a cast product.

Abstract: The invention relates to fuses for an integrated circuit. Such fuses are useful for irreversibly preventing access to certain regions of the integrated circuit. They serve particularly in applications for memory cards. According to the invention, a fuse is provided consisting of an NP junction of shallow depth (12, 11) covered by a metal contact (22), the semiconducting region covered over not being heavily doped. In order to blow the fuse, the junction is forward-biased with a current which is sufficient to allow diffusion of metal as far as the junction, which short-circuits it. Detection is carried out also by forward-biasing the junction, but with a low current or a low voltage. Detection can also be carried out in reverse bias. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un système de communication (100) segmente un champ de données de sorte que des segments de données sont transmis dans leur propre tranche de temps avec leur propre champ de commande. Le système de communication (100) segmente le champ de données en segments de données, ajoute une commande à la tranche de temps dans un champ destiné à l'information de l'utilisateur, et transmet les données segmentées et la commande pendant les tranches de temps à une unité réceptrice. Cette dernière reçoit les tranches de temps, stocke le segment de données représentant un segment du champ, et recombine les segments pour produire le champ de données. Lorsqu'une retransmission est requise par une unité réceptrice, l'unité émettrice ne retransmet que la tranche de temps unique contenant le segment de données présentant des erreurs de transmission. Il n'est jamais nécessaire de retransmettre des tranches de temps multiples, puisque chaque tranche de temps contient un segment discret du champ de données.
