A control system for an electric arc welder performing a welding process between an electrode and a workpiece, which system comprises: a high speed switching type power supply with a controller operated at a switching frequency of at least about 10 kHz with an input current control signal to adjust the output current of the power supply; a first sensor sensing the actual arc voltage; a second sensor sensing the actual arc current; a first circuit for creating a power signal representing the desired real time power level at progressive times during the welding process; a second circuit for creating a function of the sensed actual voltage and the sensed actual current; and a third circuit for adjusting the current control signal in accordance with the difference between the power signal and the function of the actual voltage and current, preferably arc power.

The invention relates to a model reference self-adaptive sliding mode control method for a vertical takeoff and landing reusable launch vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of aircraft control.A self-adaptive sliding mode reaching law with fixed convergence characteristics and a second-order fixed-time convergence extension state observer are introduced into the design of a model referenceself-adaptive sliding mode controller, the capability of a system for suppressing complex external interference is improved accordingly, and meanwhile the precision and tracking speed of model tracking are increased.

A bumper includes a beam and an energy absorber supported thereon. The energy absorber includes horizontal walls, each having a front portion, a rear portion, and an interconnecting mid-portion that offsets and misaligns the front and rear portions. Upon impact, the front and rear portions collapse with the offset mid portion wrapping back upon itself with a predictable energy-absorbing collapse. The energy absorber further includes flanges and friction pads that frictionally engage the top and bottom of the beam to temporarily retain the energy absorber to the beam. In one embodiment, the front beam wall includes at least one aperture, and the energy absorber includes a tubular column extending from its front wall through the aperture in the front beam wall to the rear beam wall. By this arrangement, the front wall of the energy absorber receives support from the front beam wall via the structural column.

A zeroing adjustment for a depth control system of an agricultural seed planting implement has an adjustable link to compensate for the variable effects of tolerance stack-up and wear, so that all planting units of the implement can be adjusted to a common zero ground penetration setting from which depth settings can be made.

An automatic sandwich maker designed to automate the process of preparing sandwiches, including hamburgers, is included. This automated sandwich maker is designed for use in commercial kitchens, including small commercial kitchens, such as fast-food kitchens. The apparatus and method for automatically making sandwiches overcomes the drawbacks and limitations of the prior art. The individual sandwich process can be controlled by communications interface with a point of sales system. The inventive apparatus and method reduces manpower requirements for restaurants, provides enhanced ingredient control, and improves overall product quality.

Method and apparatus for pneumatically conveying granular material from a supply thereof through a conduit to a plurality of receivers for temporary storage of the material prior to molding or extrusion thereof by drawing vacuum in the conduit using a vacuum pump and varying the vacuum pump speed in response to sensed vacuum level in the conduit proximate the pump.

An agricultural planting implement is used to plant seed in a field. The implement includes an electrically-driven seed meter that is spaced on a toolbar of the implement. The seed meter, or other metering member, is a precision meter that is used to control the volume, spacing, and location of a seed that is delivered from a meter to the field. A seed source, such as a seed cart or hopper, is attached to the seed meters to provide an on-demand amount of seed to the meters for planting in the field.

The invention relates to an interaction object control method and belongs to the technical field of man-machine interaction. The method comprises the steps that the quantity of logical pixels, corresponding to a touch control operation, aiming at an interaction object, executed in a touch screen of a terminal is acquired; the density of the logical pixels of the touch screen is acquired; according to the density of the logical pixels and the density of reference pixels, the quantity of the logical pixels corresponding to the touch control operation is corrected; according to the corrected quantity of the logical pixels, the interaction object is controlled. According to the interaction object control method, after the quantity of logical pixels corresponding to the touch control operation aiming at the interaction object is acquired, according to the density of the logical pixels and the density of the reference pixels of the touch screen, the quantity of the logical pixels corresponding to the touch control operation is corrected, and according to the corrected quantity of the logical pixels, the interaction object is controlled, so that when a sliding control operation with the same physical distance is conducted in the random touch screen, the control effects on the interaction object is kept uniform finally.
