Patent EP-1364455-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAO YUAN
IPC: H02P9/10
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: A generator control unit (200) includes a field current modulator (212) that repeatedly switches between an ON state and an OFF state to control the flow of field current to the generator (20), a free-wheeling path (216) that feeds excitation current from the generator (20) back to the generator (20) as a field current component when the field current modulator (212) is in the OFF state, and an impedance circuit (220) that selectively and temporarily absorbs excitation current in the free-wheeling path (216) to reduce voltage overshoot of the generator (20) upon occurrence of an operating transition, such as a transition from high load to low load. In one implementation, the impedance circuit (220) is an RC circuit and a by-pass switch (222) is provided across the RC circuit. When excitation current in the free-wheeling path (216) is not to be absorbed by the RC circuit, the by-pass switch (222) is ON, thereby providing a low-impedance path for the excitation current. A by-pass driver (230) controls the by-pass switch (222) to change the by-pass switch (222) from ON to OFF based on one or more detection signals, e.g., indicating a load transition or power-up, thereby introducing the impedance circuit (220) into the free-wheeling path (216) to effect decay of the excitation current from the generator (20).

IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: An input unit for receiving a signal from an oscillator corresponds to an
ultrasonic wave received by the oscillator has an input impedance
significantly smaller than an impedance of an inter-electrode capacitance in
the oscillator. This arrangement allows the delay of timing of the received
wave to be influenced by a change in the input impedance of the input unit
than by a change in the impedance of the oscillator. Since the influence of
the change in the impedance of the oscillator against the delay of timing of
the received wave is reduced, a flow meter can measure a propagation
duration of the ultrasonic wave accurately. More specifically, the flow
meter can measure the propagation duration accurately regardless of a
change of the inter-electrode capacitance of the oscillator by temperature,
thus measuring a flow rate of fluid correctly.

Abstract: The present invention relates includes system and a method for
automatically generating short segments of video (or video "cliplets") from a
larger source video. A cliplet has the properties that its length is determined prior
to generation and that the cliplet ideally is semantically meaningful and contains
a single short event or theme. Generally, the cliplet generation method
processes a large source video and generates cliplet results for presentation
(such as to a user). Specifically, the method processes the source video to
determine editing points and then extracts cliplets from the source video based
on the editing points. The extracted cliplets can overlap in time. Cliplet results
then are presented, such as to a user. The cliplet generation system includes a
video cliplet generator that processes a large source video and generates cliplets
in accordance with the cliplet generation method.
