Patent EP-0946121-A1 (EP)
Title: Dosing method for adding detergent to a dishwashing machine
Inventor: HELMINGER KARL
IPC: A47L15/44
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a commercial dishwashing machine, where the detergent added to the first wash tank of the wash section is controlled by a regulator which controls a dosing device. The regulator is a fuzzy regulator, which in a learning phase determines characteristic influencing values of the system to be regulated. In the learning phase, detergent is continuously added to the first wash tank for a predefined period. The change in the water's conductivity over that period is determined. In the subsequent operating phase, the extent to which the conductivity measured deviates from a set value is determined. Dosing takes place by fuzzy regulation on the set value deviation, on the basis of the measured influencing values as fuzzy variables. Because in the learning phase all the influencing values of the dishwashing machine, dosage device and detergent are taken into account, dosing is automatically optimally adjusted to prevailing conditions.

Abstract: In a MOSFET or other high voltage device, an annular channel stopper (4) extends around the outer periphery (14) of a body portion (11) with which a device region (15) forms a p-n junction (5) operable under high reverse bias in at least one mode of operation of the device. A field plate structure (34, 34a, 34b, 34c) on an insulating layer (24) over the body portion (11) extends towards the outer periphery (14) to spread a depletion layer from the reverse-biased p-n junction (5) towards the outer periphery (14). The channel stopper (4) comprises concentrically doped stopper regions (41 to 44) with different doping concentrations and/or region widths and/or spacings, giving to the body portion (11) a non-uniform doping profile the doping of which, under the field plate structure (34, 34a, 34b, 34c), increases with distance (D) towards the outer periphery (14) to slow progressively the spread of the depletion layer under the field plate structure (34, 34a, 34b, 34c). This field plate structure (34, 34a, 34b, 34c) connected to the device region (15) and/or to a field region (35) can extend laterally over the whole of the body portion (11) between the device region (15) and a doped channel stopper region (41) in the vicinity of the outer periphery (14), and without the complication of any field plate connected to the channel stopper (4).

Abstract: Ce système de commande de frein détermine si une roue est stable ou non pendant une condition de freinage. Une roue est déterminée comme étant non stable lorsque la vitesse (310) de la roue est différente de la vitesse estimée du véhicule et dépasse cette dernière d'une quantité fixée. Lorsque la roue est déterminée non stable une quantité de réduction de pression des freins est déterminée conformément à une compensation proportionnelle et intégrale. Cette compensation est une fonction de la différence entre la vitesse (310) de la roue et la vitesse estimée du véhicule, ainsi qu'une valeur de décélération de la roue. Lorsque la roue est déterminée stable une pression de frein est appliquée à un taux exponentiel. Un mode d'arrêt est lancé lorsque la roue est déterminée ne plus décélérer pendant un cycle de décharge de la pression.

Abstract: A method of controlling recharging of a water conditioning apparatus comprises the steps of: detecting water usage by the apparatus; storing for each time slot of a cyclically repeating series of such time slots information about the usage in that time slot; and determining, at least in part, a time for recharging the apparatus in dependence upon the stored information. The information which is stored for each time slot (for example of 3 hours duration) of the cyclically repeating serie of such time slots (for example over a period of one week) is a value dependent upon an average of the measured amounts of usage in that time slot and in at least one corresponding such time slot in a previous cycle. The storing of an amount of usage for each time slot opens up many possibilities for improving the method. Also, the use of average values for corresponding time slots makes the method less susceptible to vagaries in the water usage in one particular week.
