  • Publication number: 20100039056
    Abstract: A voltage-command correction unit provided between an electric-power conversion unit and a voltage-command calculation unit provides a predetermined current range including the zero level for the detected output current, and, at a first clock time when the output current enters from outside to inside of the current range, sets a zero cross timing of the output current as a clock time for switching the polarity of the correction voltage that corrects the AC voltage command calculated and output by the voltage-command calculation unit based on the first clock time and the frequency, thereby making a configuration capable of correcting the AC voltage command with the correction voltage with the same polarity as the polarity of the output current around the zero cross point of the output current.

  • Publication number: 20090252190
    Abstract: In a method of fabricating a semiconductor optical device, a semiconductor region is formed by growing an InP lower film, a active region, an InP upper film and a capping film on a substrate sequentially. Material of the capping film is different from that of InP. Next, a mask is formed on the capping film, and the semiconductor region is etched using the mask to form a semiconductor stripe mesa, which includes an InP lower cladding layer, a active layer, an InP upper cladding layer and a capping layer. The active layer comprises aluminum-based III-V compound. A width of the top surface of the capping layer is greater than that of a width of the bottom surface of the capping layer. A width of the top surface of the InP upper cladding layer is smaller than that of the bottom surface of the InP upper cladding layer. The minimum width of the semiconductor mesa is in the InP upper cladding layer.

  • Patent number: 7436144
    Abstract: A CPU calculates, based on a frequency command value for driving a motor and on a state quantity of the motor, an output-voltage command value in which only the phase advances while amplitude is constant in each calculation period, without reducing the calculation period. An ASIC reflects the output-voltage command value in a triangular wave signal in a time-series order to compare with each other, and outputs a PWM signal to a switching circuit. Thus, a waveform of an output voltage is made close to a sine wave irrespective of an output frequency being high or low, and a processing load of the CPU is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7366565
    Abstract: In an exercise machine, when a measurement starts, an electrocardiographic signal is detected by an electrocardiographic sensor 1 (ST33), a load drive is started (ST4), and heartbeat rate intervals of the electrocardiographic signal are sequentially obtained. A fluctuation of heartbeat rate intervals PI(n) % is obtained from a calculation formula in which the RR interval RR(n+1) of the current heartbeat is subtracted from the RR interval RR(n) of the previous heartbeat, which is then divided by RR(n) and multiplied by 100% (ST5). Entropy is calculated from 128 pieces of such PI (ST6). From the change of the entropy under the gradually increasing load (ST8), a minimum point of the entropy is obtained, which point is designated as an anaerobic threshold point (ST7). The load of the exercise machine is controlled employing this anaerobic threshold.

  • Patent number: 6912391
    Abstract: A method of controlling hand over that reliably performs SHO even when there exists discrepancy between a range of a cell or sector and a range in which communication is possible. A reference value, which is compared with a received level of a perch channel signal for judging timing of starting and ending SHO, is corrected by using a correction value prepared for each combination of an SHO source cell and an SHO destination cell. The reference value is corrected such that SHO is started when the mobile station 10 arrives at a range in which the mobile station 10 can communicate with a base station 21 that covers the SHO destination candidate cell, and the hand over is ended when the mobile station 10 comes out of a range in which the mobile station 10 can communicate with a base station that covers the SHO source cell.

  • Patent number: 6754494
    Abstract: In order to reduce an unnecessary handover process incident to a sudden change in communication quality, a collection circuit collects information as to the signal quality between a mobile station and respective base stations. A learning circuit learns data for judging handover, based on the signal quality. A determination circuit determines matching between the data for judging the handover and the signal quality collected by the collection circuit. A handover control circuit performs control on handover between the mobile station and a base station brought to a handover additional or deletion candidate of the mobile station, based on the result of determination by the determination circuit.
