Patent CA-2411627-C (CA)

Granted: 2008-08-19
Abstract: A microcomputer calculates a command value for feedback control based on a target electric current value set on the basis of steering torque and a vehicle speed, and the detecting value of a motor electric current.  The microcomputer calculates the duty ratio of a PWM signal for turning on and off a switching element of a motor driving circuit from this command value.  When this calculated duty ratio is 100% or less, no voltage raising circuit is operated and a battery voltage is supplied to the motor driving circuit.  In contrast to this, when the calculated duty ratio Dc exceeds 100%, the microcomputer outputs the PWM signal for turning on and off the switching element of the voltage raising circuit in the duty ratio according to this excess amount.  Thus, the battery voltage is raised in accordance with this excess amount and is supplied to the motor driving circuit.

Abstract: The guarantee closure consists of a closure body (1) with a guarantee foil (4) and with a pour-out spout (2) as well as a closure cap (3) fitting onto the closure body (1). The pour-out spout (2) is arranged on the closure body (1) such that it may be pivoted up. The guarantee foil (4) by way of pivoting-up the pour-out spout (2) into the pour-out position is cut open and thus frees the passage to the pour-out spout. The closure body (1) comprises a relief (11) for receiving the guarantee foil (4) and forms above this relief (11) by way of two shoulders (12, 13) arranged over one another and distanced from one another a free space (14) for receiving the lying pour-out spout (2). This is enclosed and held by a film-hinge-like material bridge (5) which in the lying condition connects the two shoulders (12, 13) with a surface which seen from the outside is concave and on the upper side of the lying pour-out spout (2) runs together to a point which defines the pivoting axis of the pour-out spout (2). On pivoting up the pour-out spout (2) the film- hinge-like material bridge (5) snaps into a permanent shape which is convex seen from the outside and thus now holds the pour-out spout (2) in the closure position.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un procédé consistant à faire réagir un premier composé afin d'en produire un deuxième, et comprenant une étape consistant à mettre en contact une première phase non fluoritique contenant le premier composé avec une première phase fluoritique à une première interface de phase. Le premier composé se répartit entre la première phase fluoritique et la première phase non fluoritique. Le procédé comprend également les étapes consistant à mettre en contact la première phase fluoritique avec une deuxième phase non fluoritique à une deuxième interface de phase, et à intégrer au moins un troisième composé à la deuxième phase non fluoritique, ledit composé réagissant avec le premier composé afin de produire le deuxième composé. Le coefficient de répartition du deuxième composé est inférieur à celui du premier composé. Ce procédé peut par exemple servir à séparer le deuxième composé d'un premier composé n'ayant pas réagi, par exemple lorsque le premier composé est de nature fluoritique et se répartit plus facilement dans la phase fluoritique (ou circule plus rapidement à travers cette dernière) que le deuxième composé. Généralement, la phase fluoritique fait office de barrière empêchant que les deux phases non fluoritiques ne se mélangent, mais les molécules pouvant migrer à travers la phase fluoritique peuvent passer d'un côté à l'autre.

Abstract: A three section linear or two-dimensional (2D) quadrupole ion trap as a high performance mass spectrometer is described. Mass analysis is performed by ejecting ions radically out a slot formed in one of the rods using the mass selective instability mode of operation. The slot geometry is optimized to yield high ejection efficiencies. Resolution can be controlled by using appropriate end section potentials to control the axial spread of the ion cloud. Multiple detectors can be used for enhancing sensitivity and for enabling enhanced ion analysis techniques in the ion trap.
