Abstract: A 3-phase AC current flowing to a 3-phase synchronous motor is converted through coordinate conversion to a d-axis current id and a q-axis current iq in a dq-axis coordinate system which rotates in synchronization with the motor rotation and a phase δ of a rectangular wave voltage is calculated based upon the current deviation between a q-axis current command value iq* and the q-axis current iq. A 3-phase rectangular wave voltage is generated from a DC source based upon the calculated phase δ and is applied to the 3-phase synchronous motor.

Abstract: A method for data distribution, including distributing
logical addresses among an initial set of devices (14, 16,
18, 20, 22) so as provide balanced access, and transferring
the data to the devices in accordance with the logical
addresses. 
     If a device is added to the initial set (14, 16, 18,
20, 22), forming an extended set, the logical addresses are
redistributed among the extended set so as to cause some
logical addresses to be transferred from the devices in the
initial set (14, 16, 18, 20, 22) to the additional device.
There is substantially no transfer of the logical addresses
among the initial set. 
     If a surplus device is removed from the initial
set(14, 16, 18, 20, 22), forming a depleted set, the
logical addresses of the surplus device are redistributed
among the depleted set. There is substantially no transfer
of the logical addresses among the depleted set. 
     In both cases the balanced access is maintained.

Abstract: Images from geometry renderers and particle renderers are composited by
incorporating geometry information from the geometry image as a number of special
cutout particles in the particle renderer. Instead of contributing to the color and opacity
of pixels in the particle-rendered image, these cutout particles occlude or subtract from
the accumulated color and opacity of those pixels. In this way, depth resolution is
performed as part of the particle rendering process, and the geometry and particle images
may be combined using a simple process such as alpha blending. In one embodiment,
the cutout particles are obtained from a depth map associated with the geometry image.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer les paramètres d'une pluralité de cycles thermiques permettant d'atteindre un certain taux de déformation du verre sous sollicitation. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer une pluralité de paramètres d'entrée pour un substrat de verre et une pluralité de paramètres pour une pluralité de cycles thermiques. Ce procédé consiste également à modifier de façon itérative au moins une des pluralités de paramètres de cycles thermiques de façon que la déformation du verre sous sollicitation ne dépasse pas un certain taux de déformation du verre sous sollicitation une fois qu'un cycle thermique final est terminé. Un aspect dudit procédé permet à utilisateur de déterminer, à partir des paramètres des matériaux et des séquences de traitement du fabricant de verre et d'autres entités susceptibles de traiter également le verre (par exemple, les clients du fabricant de verre), si une certaine déformation du verre sous sollicitation peut être obtenue. Dans le cas contraire, les modes de réalisations selon l'invention permettent au fabricant de calculer les changements survenus dans les processus employés par les clients pour parvenir à la déformation du verre sous sollicitation voulue.
