vector (   i   olo   ) for the inverter output; determining a flux vector ( ψ ) for the
inverter load; determining an angular speed (ω) for the inverter load; determining

load resistance (R) and the output current vector (   i   olo   ) and a voltage
proportional to the electromotive force of the load; forming a direction vector
(   S   ) on the basis of a current vector ( i ref    ) for the inverter reference value and
the inverter output current vector (   i   olo    ); determining a space coordinate system
 µυ  associated with the voltage vector (   b    ) and having a real axis µ which is
co-directional with the voltage vector (   b    ); determining the direction vector (   S   )
in the  µυ  coordinates system; and forming inverter switch commands on the
basis of a component ( S   µ  ) co-directional with the µ axis of the direction vector
(   S   ) and a component ( S   υ  ) co-directional with the υ axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vibration wave driving
apparatus including an electro-mechanical energy
conversion element that is sandwiched and fixed between
elastic members, in which a flange-shaped elastic
member is provided between the electro-mechanical
energy conversion element and one of the elastic
members. When a driving vibration is applied to the
electro-mechanical energy conversion element, a
vibration element excites bending vibrations and those
bending vibrations allow out-of-plane bending
vibrations to be excited in the flange-shaped elastic
member. Since a rotor is brought into contact with the
third elastic member sandwiched between the elastic
member and the electro-mechanical energy conversion
element, the size of the vibration wave driving
apparatus can be reduced. In addition, since a
travelling wave produced by the bending vibration of
the vibration element and a travelling wave produced by
the out-of-plane bending vibration of the third elastic
member are generated at the frictional surface of the
vibration element, the output of the vibration wave
driving apparatus can be improved.

IPC: G03H1/04

Abstract: A method of imaging an object, such as a diseased human heart or bone
or malignant tumor, in a nontransparent medium, such as the human body, involves
placing an array of transmitters and receivers in operational association with the
medium. The transmitters generate a broad band harmonic (frequency domain) or pulse
(time domain) primary electromagnetic field (EM) field, including the lower frequency
portions of the EM spectrum, whose propagation is typically characterized by the
diffusion phenomena, or by the combination of the diffusion and wave phenomena. The
primary field propagates through the examined medium and interacts with the object to
produce a scattered field, which is recorded by the receivers. The scattered EM field
components measured by the receivers are applied as an artificial EM field to generate a
backscattering EM field. Cross power spectra of the primary and backscattering fields
(in the frequency domain) or cross correlation between these fields (in the time domain)
produce a numerical reconstruction of an EM hologram. The desired properties of the
medium, such as conductivity or dielectric permittivity, are then derived from this
hologram.
