Abstract: An inverter controlling method is applied in a system comprising a single-phase rectification circuitry and three-phase inverter. The method determines a capacitance of a capacitor connected between output terminals of the single-phase rectification circuitry for allowing an output voltage of the single-phase rectification circuitry to pulsate at twice frequency with respect to a power frequency; controls the three-phase inverter for supplying output voltages or output currents from the three-phase inverter to a motor; and suppresses a current flowing into the capacitor from a power source via the single-phase rectification circuitry.

Abstract: An arrangement in which plural users read a preset picture at different places and in which the attention of the users is directed in real-time to the picture. To this end, a picture management server 2 supervises an album made up by plural pictures. In the so supervised album, an URL is allocated to each picture. In case a PC 4-1 and a PC 4-2 acquire album data from the picture management server 2, plural pictures, derived from the album data, are demonstrated on respective display units. When a cursor of the PC 4-1, so far located on a preset picture, is moved, the URL of the picture of the destination of the movement is transmitted to the PC 4-2. The PC 4-2 causes movement of the cursor to the picture associated with the URL received. The arrangement may be applied to a personal computer configured for reading a digitized album or to a server supervising the album.
