Abstract: A method and a device are described for determining an angular velocity of the rotor of a polyphase machine operated by field orientation without a transmitter, wherein control signals, a stator current model space vector and a conjugated complex reference space vector are calculated by a signal processor containing, among other things, a complete machine model and a modulator, as a function of a flux setpoint, a torque setpoint, a d.c. voltage value, measured power converter output voltage values and system parameters, with a real stator current space vector which is measured and the calculated stator current model space vector are being multiplied by the calculated conjugated complex reference space vector, and the imaginary components of the results being compared with one another, and the system deviation determined therefrom being used to adjust the angular velocity of the rotor as a system parameter in such a way that the system deviation thus determined becomes zero. In this method, the stator current model space vector and the real stator current space vector are each processed in angular position and modulus as a function of the operating point before these processed space vectors are transformed into the complex reference system. Thus, the operational dependence of the relationship between the rotational speed difference and the system is greatly reduced.

Abstract: An aircraft is provided including a fuselage with a drive shaft in the fuselage, in which the drive shaft drives an aerodynamic generator consisting of an aerodynamic rotor which is attached to the shaft and an aerodynamic stator which is attached to the fuselage over the rotor. A control device which is responsive to control commands is attached to the fuselage and has an actuator for controlling the aerodynamic generator. The aerodynamic generator produces an aerodynamic force in response to the commands whose intensity, direction and sense of direction can be controlled through the control device, in which vertical lifting and landing are achieved by orienting the direction and sense of direction of the aerodynamic force vertically with respect to the horizon plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic spring system comprising at least one pneumatic spring which consists of at least the following: a pneumatic spring cap as an upper component; a pneumatic spring piston as a lower component; pneumatic cushioning bellows made of elastomer connecting the two opposite components with the help of fastening elements. The bellows can roll off, when an interior space having elasticity of volume forms at the outer wall of the piston, inside their roll-off zone. The pneumatic spring system also consists of at least one control valve configured in particular as a magnet valve; a compressor having integrated residual pressure maintaining function; and a pilot controlled check valve connected to the pneumatic spring, which is preferably situated in the pneumatic spring cap or piston, and as such is accommodated in a housing, although different mounting variations exist. The invention also relates to a particularly advantageous design for the pilot controlled check valve, using a flexible tube of resistant plastic lodged in a valve boring, and an elastomeric valve plate. The valve plate is pushed aside by the tube, thus unblocking the valve boring (operating state).

Abstract: Outputs from an array of input signals are amplified by an amplification section, sampled and multiplexed onto an analog bus. Amplifiers in the amplification section are segregated into groups. When the amplifiers are in a first mode, as indicated by a binning signal, the amplifiers within each group are electrically isolated from another and function independently from one another to provide a high resolution output signal. When in a second mode, amplifiers within a group operate as a single unified amplifier that averages the inputs for that group to provide a single output. Thus, in this second mode of operation, readout speed may be improved while increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of each input signal relative to the first mode of operation.

Abstract: A controlled spindle drive is utilized for producing an axially acting clamping force for the purpose of clamping/releasing tools or workpieces on the work spindle of machine tools. A two-part spindle shaft is enclosed coaxially by a ring which can be displaced axially between two end positions. In one end position, the ring connects the two spindle-shaft parts to form a spindle shaft, which acts as a whole, for a normal operation as a machine spindle. In the other end position, the spindle-shaft part with the tool or workpiece mounting, is connected in a fixed manner to the non-rotating spindle housing. The non-secured spindle-shaft part then acts exclusively on the task-specific clamping/release mechanism. The controlled spindle drive, which acts on the non-secured spindle-shaft part, can actuate the clamping mechanism exclusively. Instead of the axially displaceable, coaxially disposed ring, it is possible to use a second controlled spindle drive which drives the spindle-shaft part with the tool or workpiece mounting independently. The drive operations for the two drives are coupled via an axis interpolation.

Abstract: A method and system for the transmission, reception, and processing of 4-level and 8-level signaling symbols is provided. An inventive modulator is provided for modulating 4-level signaling symbols using an 8-level modulator. Further, this inventive modulator is able to produce 4-level modulation when modulating 4-level signaling symbols using an 8-level modulator, where the 4-level modulation represents the 4-level symbol sequence modulated. Further, a constrained/unconstrained demodulator is provided which is able to demodulate both 4-level signaling symbols and 8-level signaling symbols. The inventive demodulator accomplishes this by limiting the number of new symbol hypotheses and path histories to 4 when working with 4-level signaling symbols, and setting the number of new symbol hypotheses and path histories to 8 when working with 8-level signaling symbols. Additionally, an error correction decoder is provided which is also able to decode a demodulated signal which contains both 4-level and 8-level signaling symbols. The inventive error correction decoder accomplishes this by utilizing an interleaver that only places bits in the 2-bit positions of the 3-PSK soft values that correspond to the 2-bits of QPSK to decode 4-level signalling symbols, and utilizing an interleaver that places bits in all three of the possible bit positions of a symbol to decode 8-level signalling symbols.
