Title: Open-loop method for controlling power
Inventor: BOYADJIEFF GEORGE I
IPC: H02P21/00
Filed: 2008-03-12
Abstract: Aspects of the present invention pertain to a method of power control for an electrical motor using open-loop principles. The method employs a desired control line function that determines hold-off time based on a detected phase lag of a motor drive signal. The motor to be controlled is driven with a motor drive signal at a given load for a first number of cycles to detect the phase lag of the motor drive signal. Controlling for phase lag for a second number of cycles is then accomplished by firing a thyristor according to the phase lag of the motor drive signal. Advantages of the present invention include reduced power consumption of a motor controlled by an embodiment of the inventive method or inventive controller, and faster response time between the detection of load changes on the motor and the issuance of power control signals.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a lactic acid bacterium which is suitable for food and drink or medicinal use and is capable of suppressing an increase in blood uric acid level. Various lactic acid bacteria were cultured in the presence of purine bodies, a consumption amount of the purine bodies and a production amount of degradation product of purine bodies were measured, and plural lactic acid bacteria exhibiting a remarkable degradation ability of purine bodies were selected. Each of the lactic acid bacteria determined to have a high degradation ability of purine bodies by the selection was orally administered to rats fed with a diet containing purine bodies, the performance status and serum uric acid level of the rats were measured, and an effect of administration of lactic acid bacterium on the serum uric acid level was examined. As a result, a lactic acid bacterium: Lactobacillus gasseri OLL2922 capable of significantly suppressing an increase in serum uric acid level was found.

Title: Coupler and anti-creep mechanism for the same
Inventor: CUI YINGJUN
IPC: B61G1/32
Filed: 2009-07-22
Abstract: An anti-creep mechanism for coupler includes a lower lockpin rod, a coupler shank and a rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is disposed in an elongate mounting hole of the lower lockpin rod and a circular mounting hole of the coupler shank so that the lower lockpin rod and the coupler shank are hinged together. A boss is axially disposed on an upper surface of the rotation shaft, and a groove is axially provided in a wall of the mounting hole of the coupler shank above the rotation shaft to receive the boss of the rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is axially movable relative to the lower lockpin rod and the coupler shank and has two operating positions. When the rotation shaft is moved to the first operating position, an inner end portion of the boss is positioned in the elongate mounting hole of the lower lockpin rod, and a top wall of this elongate mounting hole abuts against the boss. If this lower lockpin rod is rotated in a coupler unlocking direction, the anti-creep bulge of the lower lockpin rod abuts against the anti-creep surface of the coupler shank. When the rotation shaft is moved to the second operating position, the boss is positioned in the groove of the mounting hole of the coupler shank, and the top wall of this elongate mounting hole abuts against an outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft. The anti-creep mechanism for coupler of the present invention has a reliable dual anti-unlocking performance for coupler. Besides, the present invention further discloses a coupler.
