Patent CA-2630939-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEWTON CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B63H21/00
Filed: 2008-05-08
Abstract: A power converter includes a first active rectifier/inverter electrically connected to the stator of a motor and a second active rectifier/inverter. The rectifier/inverters include a plurality of semiconductor power switching devices. A dc link is connected between the rectifier/inverters. A filter is connected between the second active rectifier/inverter and a supply network and includes network terminals. A  first controller uses a dc link voltage demand signal indicative of a desired dc link voltage to control the semiconductor power switching devices of the first active rectifier/inverter. A second controller uses a power demand signal P* indicative of the level of power to be transferred to the dc link from the supply network (bus) through the second active rectifier/inverter, and a voltage demand signal VBUS* indicative of the voltage to be achieved at the network terminals of the filter to control the semiconductor power switching devices of the second active rectifier/inverter.

Patent CA-2648754-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WATANABE ATSUSHI
IPC: F16B5/02
Filed: 2007-04-10
Abstract: Since a portion of projected streaks on a friction- joining steel plate 10 is provided with a Vickers hardness which is at least 3 times greater than that on the surface of steel plates IA and IB, the projected streaks are allowed to more easily enter into the steel plates IA and IB, and since a frictional resistance derived from a mechanical slip resistance of the thus entered projected streaks acts between the steel plates IA and IB, a marked increase is obtained in the friction coefficient between the steel plates IA and IB via the friction-joining steel plate 10. Consequently, a friction-joining structure is constituted by a slip resistance mechanism which can be easily validated from a theoretical or an experimental point of view and is also small in variance of the friction coefficient. Therefore, a friction coefficient used in design can be set at a high value with high accuracy to realize a rational design.
Patent CA-2649644-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NELSON CHRISTINE D
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2007-05-02
Abstract: A biosensor has an underfill detection system that determines whether a sample of a biological fluid is large enough for an analysis of one or more analytes. The underfill detection system applies an excitation signal to the sample, which generates an output signal in response to the excitation signal. The underfill detection system switches the amplitude of the excitation signal. The transition of the excitation signal to a different amplitude changes the output signal when the sample is not large enough for an accurate and/or precise analysis. The underfill detection system measures and compares the output signal with one or more underfill thresholds to determine whether an underfill condition exists.
