Patent number: 7395350Abstract: Control system for a communications network, wherein the control system contains network-control means and information-processing means. Through the quality-control means, a user may set a desired quality (UQS). Additionally, the quality-control means measures quality delivered (UQS?) by the information-processing means and compares the two qualities, UQS and UQS?. By reference to a calculated comparison result, parameters are passed on to the network-control means in order to minimize a difference between the desired and delivered qualities. The quality-control means may comprise one or more user agents which may be set through the information-processing means and the communications network.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2000Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Koninklijke KPN N.V.Inventors: Franciscus Elisabeth de Caluwe, Michael Robert Schenk, Declan Joseph Doyle, Albert Garlich, Marc Gerard Daniel Steen, Aurelia Kloosterhof

Patent number: 6252381Abstract: A method is described for regulating a generator, in particular a three-phase generator which has an excitation coil through which the regulatable excitation current (IE) used to generate the excitation field flows, and has stator coils in which currents are produced that are conveyed to the consumers via pulse inverters. By controlling the pulse inverters, the stator current can be impressed with respect to value and phase in relation to the excitation current so that the output power of the generator is optimized in the required speed range.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Robert Schenk

Patent number: 6111386Abstract: A method for controlling an asynchronous machine which is operated below a cutoff frequency in the base speed region with variable magnetization current and above a cutoff frequency in a field control speed region is provided. The maximum possible fundamental oscillation of a stator voltage is determined from a existing intermediate circuit voltage or battery voltage and a stator current is defined as a setpoint and impressed onto the asynchronous machine. A calculation is made of a rotor frequency needed, with that definition of the stator voltage to impress the current setpoint. A rotor frequency which corresponds to the current setpoint is compared via a control characteristic curve to the calculated rotor frequency and that rotor frequency value which is the greater of the two is used to determine the current setpoint. The method is advantageously performed with a microprocessor, with which the calculation algorithm may be executed rapidly, effectively, and contemporaneously.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Robert Schenk

Patent number: 4486204Abstract: A filter casing for an air conditioning system includes exterior walls (1, 2, 2', 3 and 4) together with a front cover which comprises a plurality of doors (34, 35, 36, 37 and 38). The walls (1, 2, 2', 3 and 4) and doors (34, 35, 36, 37 and 38) form the casing which is divided into two compartments by parallel partitions (9, 9'). Air is drawn through an intake opening (39), through a channel (10) and sequentially passed through a temperature control apparatus (14), a filter (15) and a fan (16). The air is then transmitted through a fan outlet duct (20) to a channel (22). A plurality of absorption filter elements (23) receive the air from channel (22) and serve to remove contaminating agents. After the air is passed through the filter elements (23), it is directed into passageways (40 and 41) which are open to a rear space (42). From the rear space (42) the filtered air is exhausted from the casing through an outlet (30).Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1982Date of Patent: December 4, 1984Assignee: Installatiegroep van Buuren-Van Swaay B.V.Inventors: Gerard J.
