  • Patent number: 11967915
    Abstract: The vibration and noise generated in a permanent magnet synchronous motor are effectively suppressed. A motor control device 1 comprises: a triangular wave generation unit 17 which generates a triangular wave signal Tr that is a carrier wave, a carrier frequency adjustment unit 16 which adjusts a carrier frequency fc that represents a frequency of the triangular wave signal Tr, and a gate signal generation unit 18 which performs pulse-width modulation on three-phase voltage commands Vu*, Vv*, Vw* according to a torque command T* using the triangular wave signal Tr, thereby generating a gate signal for controlling an operation of an inverter. The carrier frequency adjustment unit 16 adjusts the carrier frequency fc so as to change a voltage phase error ??v representing a phase difference of the three-phase voltage commands Vu*, Vv*, Vw* and the triangular wave signal Tr based on the torque command T*, and a rotation speed ?r of a motor.

  • Publication number: 20210121409
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a capsule filling composition which can stably produce a capsule formulation by suppressing the flow of components out of the capsule body during capsule filling, regardless of the compressibility of an active ingredient such as drugs and health foods, so that a favorable capsule filling can be achieved; and a method of producing a capsule formulation with the use of such a capsule filling composition, as well as a capsule formulation. The objective is achieved by a method of producing a capsule formulation, comprising subjecting a capsule filling composition containing an active ingredient and a cellulose ether powder to a funnel system powder filling or a die-compression system powder filling to obtain the capsule formulation, and the like.
