  • Patent number: 7408312
    Abstract: A control device for a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes: an inverter 9 for converting inputted DC voltage into AC voltage of variable-voltage and variable-frequency, and driving a motor 14 with the AC voltage; a speed controller 22 for generating, in accordance with a speed instruction signal, a q-axis current component orthogonal to the magnetic field of the motor 14; a loss calculating means 50 for calculating a loss by summing a copper loss and an iron loss in the motor 14; a d-axis current generating means 52 for generating, in accordance with the value that is the motor's rated loss decreased by the loss, a d-axis current instruction signal to flow into the motor 14; and a resistor-on-judgment unit 58 for judging, from the DC voltage, whether or not the motor 14 operates in its recovery state and activating the d-axis current generator 52 while in the recovery state.

  • Patent number: 6405602
    Abstract: A machine for inspecting a ceramic sample by applying a compression thereto, includes an inspecting container including a generally cylindrical container provided with an elastic sleeve therein. An elastic sheet is disposed between the cylindrical container and the elastic sleeve. The cylindrical container and the elastic sleeve and sheet are integrated to form the inspecting container. A ceramic sample provided in the cylindrical container is compressed by injecting a hydrostatic pressure applying medium between the elastic sheet and the cylindrical container.
