  • Patent number: 11921474
    Abstract: A virtual metrology method using a convolutional neural network (CNN) is provided. In this method, a dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to delete unsimilar sets of process data, and adjust the sets of process data to be of the same length, thereby enabling the CNN to be used for virtual metrology. A virtual metrology model of the embodiments of the present invention includes several CNN models and a conjecture model, in which plural inputs of the CNN model are sets of time sequence data of respective parameters, and plural outputs of the CNN models are inputs to the conjecture model.

  • Patent number: 9006953
    Abstract: A stator assembly structure for an axial flux electric machine is designed. The back iron for each silicon steel disk stator is formed into a specific structure with tooth-like protrusions for allowing the same to be integrated with the disk-type stator seat, while the disk-type stator seat is made of a material suitable for casting or mold forming. A coil is mounted on the disk stator, and a stator assembly is achieved by integrating the stator, the coil and the stator seat. The stator and the disk-type stator seat of the stator assembly are manufactured by using a one-piece cast or one-piece mold forming method so as to enable the contact surfaces of the stator and the stator seat to engage with each other even more tightly, and consequently enable the heat generated from the coil to be transmitted rapidly from the disk stator to the disk-type stator seat.

  • Patent number: 8991532
    Abstract: A disassembled and assembled power module includes: a wheel shaft; a power module; a central shaft, arranged in the power module and passing through the wheel shaft; and an engaging unit, capable of fastening the central shaft to the wheel shaft. In an embodiment when the detachable power module is applied in an electric driven wheelchair, it enables the weight of the wheelchair to be reduced by simply detach and remove the detachable power from the wheelchair so that the electric driven wheelchair without the heavy power module can be carry and transport easily, and also the moving range of the electric driven wheelchair can be increased as its power module can be easily detached and replaced with another fully charged power module so that the range anxiety of the disabled person using the same or the assistant can be relieved.

  • Patent number: 8541922
    Abstract: A magnetic transmission assembly is adapted to integration with a motor or generator. The magnetic transmission assembly includes a rotor, a stator, and a magnetically conductive element. The rotor and the stator are sleeved coaxially and respectively have R and ST1 pole pairs. The magnetically conductive element is located between the rotor and the stator, and has permeable regions. When the magnetically conductive element is actuated, the magnetically conductive element selectively enables PN1 or PN2 permeable regions to be corresponding to the rotor and the stator. The permeable regions corresponding to the rotor and the stator interact with magnetic fields of the R and ST1 pole pairs to generate a predetermined variable-speed ratio. The magnetic transmission assembly can be integrated into the motor, so as to improve the drive power density.

  • Patent number: 7559386
    Abstract: A vehicle hybrid propulsion system includes an internal combustion engine, a transmission, a plate clutch, and at least one electric actuator coupled with the engine and with the transmission for being able to perform one of the operations consisting of generating propulsive forces, generating electric power and idling. A lever mechanism driven by an electric motor is used to control engaging and disengaging of the plate clutch such that connection between the transmission and the engine and/or the electric motor can be established or blocked. Thus, hybrid propulsion systems having different functions can be formed. Moreover, the hybrid propulsion systems are easy to implement by combining modular components.
