IPC: B60L50/15
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a hybrid vehicle having an auxiliary power unit, at least one energy storage device, at least one electric drive motor for traction, and a controller with associated memory. The method initially involves the steps of acquiring data for the current vehicle operating state for a variable control interval and storing the vehicle operating state data as measured operating state variables. Simulated vehicle operating state data is generated by inputting the measured vehicle operating state variables into a simulation model running on-board in the controller memory. The simulation model is validated for the control interval by comparing simulated vehicle response data generated by the simulation model with corresponding measured operating state variables The measured operating state data is analyzed to predict the vehicle operating state for the next control interval, and a control scheme is generated for optimizing energy management of the auxiliary power unit, the at least one energy storage device and the at least one electric drive motor for the predicted operating state by running the simulation model through various iterations and monitoring the simulated vehicle response data to select the optimal control scheme for the next control interval. Finally, the auxiliary power unit, the at least one energy store device and the at least one electric drive motor are controlled through the controller according to the optimal control scheme for the next control interval. The control method of the present invention adapts to changing driving conditions and component parameter changes.

Abstract: There is provided a power amplifier module which is
provided with a function of protecting an amplifying device
against destruction caused by a standing wave by reflection
from an antenna end in load variation, having a high tolerance
level of device destruction and is highly efficient. 
     Overcurrent flowing at a base of a final stage
amplifying portion GaAs-HBT in load variation is detected
and canceled and collector current is restrained to thereby
prevent an increase in output and prevent destruction of
GaAs-HBT. Further, by also using a function of successively
lowering idling current when power source voltage is elevated
and a clipping function of diodes connected in parallel with
output stage GaAs-HBT, voltage as well as current more than
necessary are avoided from being applied on the output stage
GaAs-HBT. 
     The tolerance level of device destruction of the power
amplifier module can be promoted and device destruction in
load variation can be prevented. Further, influence of a
current amplification rate of GaAs-HBT on production
deviation or temperature variation can be reduced and high
production yield can be achieved, which accordingly can
contribute to low cost formation.

Abstract: A micro-perimeter technique using a portable computer (10) and a projector (12), and using two screening (14) methods, multi-resolution static and bi-directional kinetic. The static method, as applied to a static test, starts with relatively low-resolutions, and only the unseen zones are selectively remapped under higher resolutions during successive iterations. The bi-directional kinetic method, as applied to a kinetic test, uses a response to a continuously moving target, and the unknown response delay is compensated for by an algorithm that merges the patient's response to measurement at the same visual location, but with opposite scanning directions. Offline visualization of the mapping results is performed automatically superimposed over the fundus image.
