Abstract

In a motor current optimization control method and system, while the motor runs steadily at a set speed, one d-axis current command value of the input current is set to 0. Then, the d-axis current command value is step-wisely increased by an increment at least twice. At least three real-time feedback current values can be collected from detecting a feedback current of an AC power. When an instant detected is smaller than the previous detected, the d-axis current command value is increased. When the instant detected is greater than the previous detected, the d-axis current command value corresponding to the previous detected is a minimum feedback current value and is defined as the optimized d-axis current command value. The optimized d-axis current command value is set as the d-axis current command value of the input current to control the motor to keep running steadily at the set speed.

Abstract

In a refrigerator storage temperature control method, according to a target temperature (Ts), a regulated temperature upper limit value (T1) and an allowable temperature upper limit value (T2) are defined. According to T1 and T2, an adjustment interval, an allowable temperature interval and a convergent cooling interval are defined. A detection temperature is periodically detected and updated with a detection period, the detection temperature in the previous detection period is a previous temperature, and the detection temperature in the instant detection period is a current temperature. A control module performs RPS-m for a compressor when the current temperature falls within the adjustment interval, RPS+0 when the current temperature falls within the allowable temperature interval, and RPS+o when the current and previous temperatures fall within the convergent cooling interval and the allowable temperature interval, respectively. Detection, judgment and control are repeated until the current temperature falls within the allowable temperature interval.

Abstract

A system includes a control module, a velocity-detecting module and a state-analyzing module. The control module generates a control command to control the servo drive system, and bases on the control command to define angular-acceleration standard ranges with respect to detection times. The velocity-detecting module detects output angular-velocity values of the servo motor with respect to detection times upon when the servo motor is driven. The state-analyzing module includes a processing unit and an abnormal-state judging unit. The processing unit stores the output angular-velocity values, and bases on the output angular-velocity values to calculate output angular-acceleration values with respect to the detection times. The abnormal-state judging unit determines whether or not each of the output angular-acceleration values with respect to each of the corresponding detection times is within the respective angular-acceleration standard range and thereby to generate corresponding comparison results.

A system for managing real-time work information of a motor fitting provides a sensor set at the motor fitting to transmit the real-time work information to a processing module. A processing unit of the processing module sends type information and a real-time work parameter according to the real-time work information. When a detection unit determines the real-time work parameter is fallen outside a normal work parameter according to a lookup table stored in a database and the type information, the detection unit generates an abnormal-notification signal for transmission. When an application procedure of the application-processing unit is triggered, the application-processing unit activates a play unit to play the normal work parameter, and further the activated play unit plays notification information upon receiving the abnormal-notification signal.

Abstract

[Problem] The present invention relates to a new pump unit which is capable of preventing an impact and vibration which are generated when a pump for discharging (filling) a capsule liquid is in operation at a high speed while manufacturing a capsule by coating the capsule liquid with an outer coating part, expanding a length of time of capsule liquid discharge and an actual fillable area, and controlling a discharge pressure which may increase during a high-speed rotation. [Solution] According to the pump unit of the present invention, an end of a plunger pin is extended to protrude out of a pump chamber, and receives driving by a shifter at the protruding portion for a reciprocating movement in the pump chamber. The shifter comprises a rotating pendulum lever, and the plunger pin reciprocates in the pump chamber due to a reciprocating rotation of the pendulum lever.

Abstract

Disclosed is a novel manufacturing method, which is a manufacturing procedure wherein a capsule is formed by combining starch, λ-carrageenan, metallic salt, a plasticiser, and water as the structural component composition for the raw materials for the outer-skin part of the capsule, and which has enhanced the drying ability of conventional rotary-die type soft capsule manufacturing methods, enabling the water content of a capsule outer-skin sheet to be freely adjusted, and which also has improved the previously problematic post-formation hardness-stability of the capsule. In the disclosed soft capsule manufacturing method a capsule is formed by combining starch, λ-carrageenan, metallic salt, a plasticiser, and water as the structural component composition for the raw materials for the outer-skin part of the capsule. In addition to being a novel method wherein trisodium citrate is mixed as the metallic salt, the method is characterised by the introduction to conventional rotary-die type automatic soft capsule manufacturing methods of a drying procedure for the capsule outer-skin sheet using medium wavelength infra-red radiation, thus enhancing drying ability and enabling the water content of the capsule outer-skin sheet to be freely adjusted.

Abstract

A transformer module includes a main primary winding coupled to a first input power source to receive a medium voltage signal, multiple main secondary windings each to couple to a power cell of a drive system, and an auxiliary primary winding coupled to a second input power source to receive a low voltage signal. The auxiliary primary winding can be spatially separated from the main windings to increase leakage inductance. The auxiliary primary winding can be active during a pre-charge operation to pre-charge the power cells.

Abstract

Disclosed are soft capsules having been widely used in 旜drugs”, 旜foods for specific health uses”, 旜so-called health foods” and foods which have soft and excellent mastication properties and a high meltability in the oral cavity, impart a mild and full-bodied taste to a gelatin film coating, show an excellent ability to regulate the stickiness of the capsule film coating to thereby prevent sticking of the capsules to each other or to a container, and further inhibit an increase in the moisture content of the gelatin film coating even under highly humid conditions and so on. Soft capsules to be masticated characterized in that a gelatin film coating for the soft capsules to be masticated is formed by blending a powdery fat with gelatin, a plasticizer and water.

Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a medium voltage drive system having multiple power cells each to couple between a transformer and a load. A first subset of the power cells are configured to provide power to the load and to perform partial regeneration from the load, and a second subset of the power cells are configured to provide power to the load but not perform partial regeneration. A controller may be included in the system to simultaneously control a DC bus voltage of at least one of the first subset of the power cells, correct a power factor of the system, and provide harmonic current compensation for the system.
