When finding a current on an AC side of an inverter by observing that on a DC side, a current that is not affected by pulsating components contained in the AC current must be detected. Timing of change of a gate signal for driving a switch element of a phase having an intermediate magnitude among three-phase voltage command signals to ON / OFF is used as a reference time point for DC bus current detection. DC bus currents sampled T1 before and T2 after the reference time point are designated as IDC1 and IDC2, respectively. A detected current value of a maximum voltage phase is computed by using IDC2 and IDC1 respectively in an increase period and a decrease period of a carrier signal alternately. A detected current value of a minimum voltage phase is computed by using IDC1 and IDC2 respectively in an increase period and a decrease period alternately.

A technology described herein is for accurately determining the SOC of a secondary battery. An open-circuit-voltage-to-state-of-charge (OCV-SOC) characteristic has a capacity decrease estimation OCV region in which a relationship between the OCV and the SOC is assumed not to change due to degradation of the secondary battery 1a since a reference time point. Charge currents or discharge currents in the capacity decrease estimation OCV region are accumulated in a process in which the secondary battery SOC changes among OCVs. From the accumulation, an accumulated current is obtained. A secondary battery capacity decrease is estimated based on the accumulated current. An OCV-SOC characteristic is specified based on the estimated secondary battery capacity decrease and a predetermined relationship between the battery capacity decrease of the secondary battery since the reference time point and the OCV-SOC characteristic. A secondary battery SOC is determined based on the OCV and the specified OCV-SOC characteristic.

A color image forming apparatus in which an engine controller outputs an operation start signal to write controllers at a timing at which a registration sensor detects a position of a sheet of transfer paper. Synchronization detection signals for colors are used to set reference positions for front edges of the colors in a main scanning direction. A write controller for a reference color outputs a write-operation start signal so as not to cut the synchronization detection signals each indicating one line for one color in the main scanning direction and line synchronization signals, into two parts in their longitudinal direction. The write-operation start signal is used to set a reference time point when the write controllers make transfer requests for image signals for the colors to an image processor.

Described is a process for performing an improved mixed frequency-time algorithm to simulate responses of a circuit that receives a periodic sample signal and at least one information signal. The process selects a set of evenly spaced distinct time points and a set of reference time points. Each of the reference points is associated with a distinct time point, and a reference time point is a signal period away from its respective distinct time point. The process finds a first set of relationships between the values at the distinct time points and the values at the reference time points. The process also finds a second set of relationships between the values at the distinct time points and the values at the reference time points. The process then combines the first and second sets of relationships to establish a system of nonlinear equations in terms of the values at the distinct time points only. By solving the system of nonlinear equations, the process finds simulated responses of the circuit in time domain. The process then converts the simulated circuit responses from time domain to frequency domain.

A sampler circuit may sample the control signal at an edge of a rising edge of the clock signal.

An intelligent phase selection control system for a 12 kV permanent magnet vacuum circuit breaker is composed of a control board and a driving board. After the control board acquires a current signal, a zero-crossing point is extracted from the signal to serve as a reference time point for phase selection control. After receiving a circuit breaker switching-on-off instruction, the control board conducts calculation to obtain a period of delay time and then controls a coil of the driving board to discharge electricity for switch on and off of the circuit breaker. Due to the fact that factors affecting phase selection time accuracy mainly include operating mechanism actuation time, driving board coil excitation time and reference zero point capture and program delay time, the switch on and off action time of a permanent magnetic operating mechanism is basically constant and the excitation time of the coil of the driving board is also a constant value, the accuracy of phase selection control mainly depends on program delay time. By reasonably controlling delay time, switch on and off of the circuit breaker can be achieved at the current zero-crossing point, so that switch on and off inrush current and operation overvoltage transient process are effectively avoided and working reliability of the circuit breaker is improved.
