Inventor: CLARK DANIEL
IPC: B22F3/105
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: A method of consolidating a powder (10) comprises the steps of filling an electrically conductive container (12) with the powder (10). Any air is evacuated out of the filled container (12), which is then sealed. The sealed container (12) is placed in a die (20) and a force is applied to consolidate the powder (10). Simultaneously an electric pulse and an ultrasonic pulse are applied to the container (12) as the powder (10) is consolidated. The electric and ultrasound pulses are applied during consolidation to disrupt the grain boundaries and assist in the fragmentation of any oxides. 
     The container (12) is then removed from the die (20) and from the consolidated powder (10).

Title: Motor control device
Inventor: TOMIGASHI YOSHIO
IPC: H02P21/13
Filed: 2006-08-25
Abstract: A motor control device includes an estimator for estimating a rotor position of a motor having a salient pole by using a value corresponding to a q-axis inductance of the motor as an operation parameter where an estimated axes for the control corresponding to d-q axes are γ-δ axes, and a controller for controlling the motor based on the estimated rotor position. The estimator generates a deviation between a d-axis and a γ-axis by performing the estimation of the rotor position based on a value between a real q-axis inductance and a real d-axis inductance of the motor adopted as the operation parameter. The controller controls the motor so that a γ-axis component of a motor current supplied to the motor is maintained to be a predetermined value of zero or close to zero regardless of a value of a δ-axis component of the motor current.

Abstract: An interface card is capable of communicating with an external device and includes a power supplier; a non-volatile memory which stores executable instructions to operate in an active-mode and a sleep-mode; a small-capacity volatile memory which is supplied with power in the sleep mode; a transmitter-receiver which transmits and receives packet data to/from the external device; and a controller which retrieves sleep-mode instructions stored in the non-volatile memory and loads the sleep mode instructions in the small-capacity volatile memory to transition the interface card into the sleep mode if the transmitter-receiver does not receive the packet data for predetermined time period in an active mode. The interface card processes certain packet data in the sleep mode and transitions back into the active mode when sleep mode operations determine that the packet data cannot be processed in the sleep mode. The non-volatile memory, and other components of an external circuit, is powered down when the interface card is in the sleep mode.
