Title: Dual seal anchoring systems for insulated cavity walls
Inventor: HOHMANN RONALD P JR
IPC: E04B1/41
Filed: 2007-05-02
Abstract: An anchoring system for cavity walls is disclosed. The system includes a stud-type wall anchor and a wire formative veneer tie. The stud has a driver head, a dual-diameter barrel, and a driven tip. A flange at the juncture of the two barrels houses an interior seal; and a flange under the driver head, an exterior seal. The smaller diameter barrel is coextensive with the drywall installation; and the length of the larger diameter barrel, with the rigid insulation. The interior seal seals the insertion point into the drywall installation; and the exterior seal, the opening of the anchor-receiving channel. The interior seal and the larger barrel of the anchor fill the anchor-receiving channel and stabilize the wall anchor. Also, the wall anchor is clamped in place by the seals. The stud-type anchor operates with a variety of veneer ties for different applications.

Inventor: BOHREN PATRICK
IPC: H02K24/00
Filed: 2007-08-13
Abstract: The invention specifies a method for determining the rotor angular position of a rotating electrical machine, which machine has a set of stator windings and a set of rotor windings, and in which method the set of stator windings is fed by an associated converter unit.  First, the set of stator windings is then short--circuited at at least three predeterminable short--circuiting times (T0, T1, T2) by means of the converter unit within one revolution of the rotor given an assumed speed of the rotor. Then, the phase angle (.alpha.T0, (.alpha.T1, .alpha.T2) of the respective stator current (i ST0, i ST1, i ST2) is determined at each short-circuiting time (T0, T1, T2), a differential phase angle (.DELTA.i1, .DELTA.i2) being formed from phase angles (.alpha.T0, .alpha.T1, .alpha.T2) determined at in each case two temporally adjacent short-circuiting times (T0, T1, T2). Then, the minimum differential phase angle (.DELTA.i min) is determined from the differential phase angles (.DELTA.i1, .DELTA.i2), in the event of a negative minimum differential phase angle (.DELTA.i min), a correction phase angle (.DELTA.i c) being added to the most recently determined phase angle (.alpha.T2), and, in the event of a positive minimum differential phase angle (.DELTA.i min), the correction phase angle (.DELTA.i c) being subtracted from the most recently determined phase angle (.alpha.T2).
