  • Publication number: 20240094688
    Abstract: A machining result processing device includes processing circuitry configured to collect machining result information; calculate a provisional evaluation value for machining performed; estimate an estimated convergence value when the provisional evaluation value has not converged; determine whether to terminate the machining before the provisional evaluation value converges when the provisional evaluation value has not converged; determine the estimated convergence value as an evaluation value when the machining is terminated and determine the convergence value of the provisional evaluation value as an evaluation value after the provisional evaluation value has converged when the machining is not terminated; and determine an optimal machining condition when the search is terminated and generates a machining condition to be tried next when the search is not terminated, in which until it is determined to end the search, each of aforementioned processes described above is repeatedly performed.

  • Patent number: 9459610
    Abstract: An electric discharge machine includes at least one of a noncontact-position detection sensor that outputs a detection signal when a distance between a first contact body and a second contact body is equal to a preset residual distance in a noncontact phase and a drive unit that detects a load given on the main spindle, and a main-spindle-drive control unit stops moving of the main spindle in at least either a case where a moving amount of the main spindle since the noncontact-position detection sensor outputs the detection signal exceeds the residual distance or a case where it is determined that an overload is given from a detection result of the drive unit.

  • Patent number: 8907244
    Abstract: The present invention includes steps of, determining a search starting position; setting a center position, and a first position and a second position with a distance provided therebetween; obtaining a measurement point group including measurement points of the center position, the first position, and the second position; and determining a measurement point closest to the tip portion in the measurement point group based on positions of the measurement points in a second direction and selecting a position of the measurement point in a first direction as a selected position. When the measurement point group is obtained initially after the determination of the search starting position, the search starting position is set as the center position; and when the measurement point group is obtained after the selection of the selected position, the selected position is set as the center position. The distance is narrowed for every selection of the selected position.

  • Publication number: 20140172151
    Abstract: A numerical control device analyzes a machining program containing one or more unit machining programs and displays a process shape figure (141a, 144a) obtained by executing the unit machining program. The device includes a machining-program analyzing unit that analyzes the unit machining program and acquires process shape information having parameters containing tool information for obtaining the figure (141a, 144a) for the unit machining program, a process-shape-figure creating unit that acquires process shape data corresponding to the tool information and creates a process shape figure obtained by changing the process shape data based on the parameters, and a display processing unit that displays the machining program and the figure (141a, 144a) on a display unit. The display processing unit displays the figure (141a, 144a) that is aligned with a display position of the unit machining program on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 7352316
    Abstract: In a time-interleaved AD converter which combines together low-speed high-resolution AD converters for effective high speed operation, various deterioration factors possessed by each of the converters, including DC offset, conversion gain error, sampling timing error, and a frequency characteristic, need to be compensated. The compensation is performed through nonlinear filter operation in which a constant term is added to linear filter operation. A high-speed low-resolution AD converter is separately used, and through adaptive signal processing in which an output signal thereof is defined as an instruction signal, a compensation coefficient is calculated. In this condition, the compensation can be performed without the influence of quantization noise attributable to the high-speed low-resolution AD converter.

  • Patent number: 7161990
    Abstract: Unlike a prior art digital predistortion compensation device for determining a compensation coefficient based on absolute value information about a baseband complex input signal, the present invention performs distortion compensation calculation in accordance with a complex coefficient polynomial using real and imaginary parts of the baseband complex input signal as its variables.

    Abstract: A base station controller and a mobile station to achieve high speed transmission and effective use of radio resources in a radio communications system. A communication system includes a plurality of base stations in order to provide communication among a mobile station, another mobile station and a communication link. The communication links for use in the communication are selected base on the channel quality of the communications links. The communication information is then demultiplexed for each selected link, and the data is sent parallel by way of the demultiplexed communication information along the selected communication links to allow high speed transmission.

  • Patent number: 6577880
    Abstract: Even if traffic concentrates on a specific place in a cellular radio communication in which a base station communicates with its corresponding wireless terminal, power to be used up or consumed by the base station can be restricted. Further, the equality of communication is satisfactory and the need for a change in the conventional wireless terminal is eliminated. Therefore, two types of sectors corresponding to a wide range sector and narrow range sectors each overlapping with the wide range sector are defined in a multi-sector model. Further, a wide range antenna for the wide range sector and narrow range antennas for the narrow range sectors are separately prepared for the base station. Afterwards, signals are transmitted to wireless terminals located within the narrow range sectors by using both the wide range antenna and the narrow range antennas. In the case of CDMA in particular, the same signal is transmitted with respect to a traffic channel alone.
