Title: Performing mechanical operations upon components
Inventor: WALTON PAUL DENNISON
IPC: G05B19/4099
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: Mechanical operations are performed upon components having initial surface shapes or configurations, in order to achieve a desired surface shape or configuration. An engineering model is identified that defines a preferred surface shape or configuration for a component. A description of at least part of the initial configuration of the component is derived and a component model is defined by manipulating the engineering model with reference to the description. Thereafter, in response to said component model, mechanical operations are performed upon the component, thereby modifying the component so as to bring it into line with the original engineering model while at the same time being sympathetic to part of the initial configuration. The procedure may be used for repair of turbine blades taking account of any distortion occuring in previous use.

Title: Automatic channel selection device
Inventor: KUWABARA MITSUTAKA
IPC: H03J7/18
Filed: 1990-01-19
Abstract: PURPOSE:To attain quick search of other station receiving the content of a same broadcast in an excellent way in response to the state of a radio wave without channel selection by the user and to attain automatic channel selection by applying search of other station with a sub-tuner, comparing whether or not the received content is the same, judging the strength of the received wave of a main station and a sub station simultaneously and selecting the sub station automatically when the received wave of the sub station is large. CONSTITUTION:A user operates a key operation section 14 to select a channel of a main tuner 6 optionally thereby selecting a specific broadcast station. Succeedingly, a sub tuner 7 starts searching to find out other station of the same broadcast content. When the sub tuner 7 receives a broadcast station, the sound output of the sub channel and the sound output of the main channel are compared by a sound comparator circuit 11 to decide whether or not the broadcast content of the main channel and the broadcast content of the sub channel are the same. Then a channel selection microcomputer 8 compares an AGC output of both the tuners to decide the strength of the received waves by the main tuner 6 and the sub tuner 7. When an output of the sub channel exceeds an output of the main channel, the reception station of the main tuner 6 is changed into a station received by the sub tuner 7.

Title: Controller of active filter
Inventor: SANO KOICHI
IPC: H02J3/01
Filed: 1997-01-23
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the capacity of an active filter to its indispensable minimum by conforming the quantity of compensation to the target quantity obtained by subtracting the upper limit value of the higher harmonic wave components regulated by the higher harmonic wave guideline from the quantity of generated higher harmonic wave components of each order. SOLUTION: This device is equipped with higher-harmonic waves detecting circuits 11a-11d, which detect the quantities of generated higher harmonic wave components of fifth order, seventh order, eleventh order, and thirteenth order by the development of Fourier series from higher harmonic wave currents generated in a load 2. Then, the target quantity ratio of the compensating current to the quantity of generated higher harmonic wave components of the fifth order highest in occurrence factor from among the higher harmonic wave components of each order is set in a setter 12a.  Moreover, when the target volume ratio of the compensating current to the quantity of generated higher harmonic wave components of the seventh order, eleventh order, and thirteenth order does not conform to that in the case of the higher harmonic wave of fifth order, mutual ratios to the target quantity of the higher harmonic wave components of the fifth order is set in setters 12b-12d separately for higher harmonic components of each order. As a result, the capacity of an active filter can be suppressed to its indispensable minimum by conforming the quantity of compensation of the higher harmonic wave components of each order to the target value by the higher harmonic wave guideline.
