Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil (8) dans lequel une biomasse est supportée sur un substrat fluidisé. Au dessous de ce dernier, se trouve une couche de particules du distributeur que traverse le milieu de fluidisation avant d'entrer en contact avec le substrat fluidisé et la biomasse qui lui est associée. La couche du distributeur se caractérise en ce que ses particules amortissent la turbulence excessive dans le milieu de fluidisation, ce qui évite toute turbulence inutile du milieu à l'intérieur de la couche fluidisée. Ce système présente l'avantage de contrôler dans une certaine mesure l'épaisseur du biofilm qui peut être supporté par les particules fluidisées du substrat. Ces particules (1, 2, 5) peuvent être recyclées dans la couche du distributeur où l'action des particules du distributeur permet de supprimer l'excès de film des particules du substrat qui sont ensuite renvoyées dans le lit fluidisé.

Abstract: An electric power steering device enabled to surely
detect a fault of its motor current detector circuit by avoiding
the disturbance by an electrically insulated oxide film formed
on the contact surface between the commutator and the brush
of the motor. An ignition key is turned on, then the motor
applied voltage is increased with time to break the oxide film
so that the motor current flows normally. The estimated motor
current is then compared with the detected motor current. When
the absolute value of the difference between those estimated
motor current and detected motor currents is over a
predetermined limit value, it is determined that the motor
current detection circuit is defective. It is also possible
to break the oxide film by integrating each difference between
the motor current command value and the detected motor current
value, thereby increasing the current control value step by
step and increase voltage applied to the motor.

IPC: B64G1/26

Abstract: In the control of spacecraft, thrusters must generate a commanded force or torque that is computed from the control algorithms in order to maintain a certain attitude or orbit. In general, there is an infinite number of solutions as to how the thrusters are fired in order to achieve the commanded value. However, additional imposed constraints on the mass flow allow only a small subset of those solutions to be feasible. By way of example, two constraints are considered in this invention: first, the mass flow of each thruster must exceed a minimum value and second, the total mass flow of all thrusters for any generated force/torque must be constant. If only a non-feasible solution is found, known methods turn it into a feasible one by reducing the commanded force/torque until the constraints are met. Reducing the commanded force/torque is, however, a disadvantage because the performance may decrease and even lead to instability of the closed loop system. This invention concerns a simple and time efficient method/system for improving an unfeasible solution in such a way that reducing the commanded force/torque can be minimised or even completely be avoided and, therefore, higher feasible generated forces/torques than those with known methods can be generated.
