Title: Method for regulating the operation of a device for generating electric energy by means of a generator driven by a free-piston internal combustion engine
Inventor: KEMPER HANS
IPC: H02P9/04
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the operation of a device for generating electric energy. Said device comprises a generator with at least one stator winding that can be impinged by an electric voltage and at least one rotor and a two-stroke, free-piston internal combustion engine, provided with two coaxial cylinders arranged one behind the other and a pair of pistons per cylinder, the pistons of each pair working in opposition to one another. The invention is characterised in that the respective pistons of each pair that are displaced in the same direction are interconnected, said piston connections interacting with the rotor of the generator and that the electric voltage impingement of the stator winding and/or the fuel metering is regulated to maintain a predefinable compression ratio in the cylinders of the free-piston internal combustion engine.

Abstract: In a voice packet communication system (100), a voice
packet loss concealment device (1) compensates for the
deterioration of voice quality due to voice packet loss.
In the device (1), a detecting section (33b) detects a loss
of a voice packet and outputting information; an
estimating section (39) estimates the voice
characteristics of the lost segment using a pre-loss voice
packet received before the lost segment or a post-loss
voice packet received after the lost segment; a pitch
signal generating section (33e) generates a pitch signal
having the voice characteristics; and a lost packet
generating section (33f) outputs the pitch signal
generated by the pitch signal generating section (33e),
with the voice characteristics estimated by the estimating
section (39), which allows abnormal noise and feeling of
mute, subjective deterioration of naturalness and
continuity to be improved, and the voice packet loss
concealment to be further improved.

IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: An RFID system and method for communicating between a host computer, one
or more interrogators connected to the host computer, and a large body of
transponders distributed within an area covered by the interrogators. Each
transponder originally has a common identification code, and upon initialization by
the host computer internally generates a unique identification code based upon an
internally generated random number. The host, through the interrogators, reads
each of the identification codes associated with each transponder by iteratively
transmitting a read identification code command along with a controlled variable.
Each transponder compares the received controlled variable to an internally
generated random number, and selectively transmits its identification code based
upon the outcome of this comparison. After the completion of each read
identification code iteration, the host adjusts the controlled variable based upon the
responses received in the previous iteration. Preferably, communications between
the interrogators and the transponders are DSSS signals in TDMA format, and the
transponders use the random number generator to assign a time slot for transmission
of their response. Each interrogator includes an antenna system utilizing a switch
matrix to connect multiple antennas having different polarizations, which ensures
that all transponders within the range of the interrogator receive the signals from the
interrogator. In a further aspect, the interrogators are arranged in groups, each
group in nearest neighbor format, to reduce the time for reading the transponders
and the emissions generated when more than one interrogator is active at the same
time.

Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A particle therapy system, as one example of a particle beam irradiation system,
comprises a charged particle beam generator (2) and an irradiation field forming
apparatus (15). An ion beam from the charged particle beam generator (2) is irradiated
to a diseased part in the body of a patient through the irradiation field forming apparatus
(15). A scattering compensator (34) and a range modulation wheel (24) are disposed on
the upstream side in a direction of beam advance and are movable along a beam axis.
The movement of the scattering compensator (34) and the range modulation wheel (24)
adjusts the size of the ion beam entering a scatterer device (18), whereby a change in
scattering intensity of the ion beam in the scatterer device (18) is adjusted. As a result, a
penumbra in dose distribution is reduced and a more uniform dose distribution in a
direction perpendicular to the direction of beam advance is obtained in the diseased
part.

Abstract: A workpiece (1) is gripped by a robot hand (11) and the
image of the workpiece (1) is captured by a camera (103)
without being stopped. An image processing device (104)
detects the position and posture of a characteristic
portion (105) of the workpiece (1). A robot controller
(102) stores the present position of the robot (101) once
or more times synchronously with the output of an image
pick-up trigger instruction. On the basis of the present
position of the robot (101) and a detection result, the
relative position and posture between a flange of the robot
(101) and the workpiece characteristic portion (105) is
detected. The relative position and posture is compared
with that observed when the workpiece (1) is gripped
correctly, to determine a gripping error. If the gripping
error exceeds a permissible error, the robot (101) is
stopped. If the gripping error is equal to or less than
the permissible error, a taught position where the
workpiece (1) is to be released is corrected so as to
cancel the adverse effect of the gripping error.
