Abstract: An electric power steering control method includes: measuring an operation state of a vehicle and determining whether the operation state of the vehicle corresponds to a sudden start-up condition; measuring a steering operation state and determining whether the steering operation state corresponds to a torque steer compensation control condition; determining a compensation torque according to a speed difference between left and right front wheels when the sudden start-up condition and the torque steer compensation control condition are satisfied; and outputting a compensation torque signal to an electric power steering according to the determined compensation torque.

Abstract: A commercially viable method is provided herein for isolating and purifying steviol glycosides from a source containing the steviol glycosides. The method includes the first step of passing an organic solution containing the steviol glycosides through a chromatographic column, where the packing medium in the column has been compressed substantially to avoid voids therein, and then the packing medium is maintained under a pressure of up to about 1500 psi to thereby provide an organic solution containing impure stevioside derivatives.

Abstract: A deposition system for performing chemical vapor deposition comprising deposition chamber having a lid and a vaporizer attached to the lid is provided. Additionally, one or more valves disposed between the lid and the vaporizer to limit the flow of precursor material to the chamber and to improve purging of a precursor material delivery system attached to the vaporizer. The precursor delivery system has one or more conduction lines. One of the conduction lines is a flexible conduction line in the form of a multiple turn coil having a torsional elasticity suitable for allowing detachment of the lid from the chamber without having to break or disassemble a conduction line. Preferably, the flexible conduction line is a thirty (30) turn coil having a diameter of approximately three (3) inches fabricated from stainless steel tubing.
