  • Patent number: 8219603
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns a waveform corrector comprising a first portion calculating an offset value of an intermediate value between a maximum value and a minimum value of a signal with respect to a reference value; a second portion calculating an actual amplitude of the signal by subtracting the offset value from the maximum value or the minimum value; a third portion generating a first correction signal by subtracting the offset value from the digital signal; a fourth portion subtracting a value obtained by shifting a figure of the actual amplitude from the actual amplitude so that the actual amplitude converges into a reference amplitude; and a fifth portion subtracting a value obtained by shifting the first correction signal by an amount identical to a shift amount of the actual amplitude from the first correction signal so that the first correction signal converges into a second correction signal.

  • Patent number: 8200359
    Abstract: A method for machining a slide core hole in a mold and a measurement/correction system for use in machining of a slide core hole. A spindle head is pivoted to meet the inclination angle of the slide core hole to be machined in the mold. A shallow flat-bottomed spot-faced hole is spot-faced in the surface of the mold. A guide hole is drilled in the bottom surface of the spot-faced hole. A rod hole is drilled using the guide hole as a guide. An intermediate pocket hole is formed while expanding the spot-faced hole. A reference point is corrected based on measurement of the shape of the intermediate pocket. A corrected machining program is executed with the corrected reference point to carry out precision shaping machining of the core pocket while expanding the intermediate pocket.

  • Publication number: 20120139239
    Abstract: An inverter generator includes a motor, an electric generator and an ECU generating a pulse at each predetermined rotation angle of the motor. Estimating means estimates an initial electrical angle of alternating voltage produced by the generator from the pulse and calculates a phase shift angle to estimate continuous electrical angle of the alternating voltage. A converter converts the alternating current electric power into direct current electric power under d-q control based on the phase shift angle. An inverter converts the direct current electric power into alternating current output electric power.
