34results about How to "Satisfactory solution" patented technology

A Path Generator connects to a communication network and uses genetic algorithms to assign flows to paths. Genotypes encode flow to path assignments for working and protection paths. Genotype fitness functions are computed as a weighted sum of constraint fitness functions. Each constraint fitness function evaluates the degrees to which the genotype is a satisfactory solution. The system can be used for network modeling. It can also receive requests for on-demand assignment of flows and on-demand rerouting of flows.

This consists of six pieces: a bottom (1), two side pieces (2), (2′) and two ends (3), (3′), and a lid or top (4), all made of medium or high density wood fiber and that can be assembled by means of a number of tabs (11) and (29) emerging from some of said pieces and which couple by a tongue and groove system to respective slots (19) and (17) made in other pieces. The box has stacking means which are materialized in upward extensions (20), (20′), (24), (24′) of the upper ends of the side pieces and of the ends, determining oblique edges, coinciding with notches of the same shape made in their lower edges, which allow these to be self-centring. The free outwardly-projecting ends of the securing tabs constitute a spacer between boxes, which when these are palletised means that conduits are formed to facilitate air circulation between them.

A method calibrates an inertial-sensor device installed in an arbitrary position on board a vehicle and adapted to detect at least one entity indicative of vehicle dynamics along at least one direction of a local reference-coordinate system. The method includes steps of: acquiring by the inertial-sensor device at predetermined measuring times real-measured data indicative of the vehicle dynamics in the local reference-coordinate system; acquiring by a calibrating detector different from the inertial-sensor device, at sampling times coinciding with the measuring times, reference-measured data indicative of the vehicle dynamics in a vehicle-coordinate system; and generating a coordinate-transformation matrix adapted to correlate the entity measured in the local reference-coordinate system with a corresponding entity in the vehicle-coordinate system. Also, a sensor system of dynamics of the vehicle is able to be installed on board in an arbitrary position.

The eigenperiod in pitch, T₀₅ (roll, T₀₄), is preferably less than 80% of the T₀₃ eigenperiod in heave. Moreover, the ratio between T₀₃ and T₀₅ is not close to 0.5 or 1.

The invention relates to a device and method for ensuring more uniform heating of food by microwaves. The method includes providing food in a portion having a predetermined size and shape; and providing a container adapted for receiving and reheating the portion of food in a microwave oven. The container forms a supporting cavity having peripheral sides and a bottom side, with the portion of food placed within the supporting cavity. The peripheral sides of the container are circumferentially shielded by a microwave reflective material that forms a circumference having axial and transverse distances that are determined so as to change the wavelength of resonant modes inside the food thereby resulting in a more uniform heating food pattern.

A MEMS device having a wafer-level package, is provided with: a stack of a first die and a second die, defining at least a first internal surface internal to the package and carrying at least an electrical contact pad, and at least a first external surface external to the package and defining a first outer face of the package; and a mold compound, at least in part coating the stack of the first and second dies and having a front surface defining at least part of a second outer face of the package, opposite to the first outer face. The MEMS device is further provided with: at least a vertical connection structure extending from the contact pad at the first internal surface towards the front surface of the mold compound; and at least an external connection element, electrically coupled to the vertical connection structure and exposed to the outside of the package, at the second outer face thereof.

A method for the diagnosis of the offset of the resolver of an electric motor, comprising acquiring a predetermined offset of a resolver associated with the electric motor; in a first transient, supplying an excitation current to the phases of the electric motor. As a consequence of the excitation current, a current established on the axis d of minimum reluctance and a current established on an axis q in phase quadrature with respect to the axis of minimum reluctance are determined. The correctness of the offset of the resolver is diagnosed if the current established on the axis d in the first transient is higher than the current established on the axis d in the second or third transient, and if the current established on the axis q in the first transient is lower than the current established on the axis q in the second or third transient.

A method of reducing drag on the web of a positive displacement sorter is used with a web made up of a plurality of parallel slats interconnected at their opposite ends with chain assemblies in an endless loop. A plurality of pusher shoes each travel along at least one of said slats. The sorter further includes a driven sprocket assembly and a non-driven sprocket assembly. Each of the sprocket assemblies includes at least two sprockets on a shaft, each for engaging one of the chain assemblies. The sprocket assemblies support the chain assemblies at opposite ends of the web. The method includes auditing the sorter including determining if the slats are skewed with respect to the direction of travel of the web. If it is determined that the slats are skewed, then the chain assemblies and the non-driven sprocket assembly are modified. The chain assemblies are modified by adding side thrust wheels on opposite sides of the web. The non-driven sprocket is modified by locking the sprockets to the shaft such that the sprockets rotate together.

Based on that efficiency parameter, causes for said wasted production times are identified and corrected. The invention provides a methodology for detecting and correcting causes which reduce production efficiency, in industries with low productivity cadence.
