摘要:
Thermostats disclosed herein are operable to control an HVAC system. In controlling the HVAC system, a need to determine an expected indoor temperature profile for a particular schedule of setpoint temperatures may arise. To make such a determination, a thermodynamic model of the structure is used. The thermodynamic model may be generated by fitting weighting factors of a set of basis functions to a variety of historical data including time information, temperature information, and HVAC actuation state information. The set of basis functions characterize an indoor temperature trajectory of the structure in response to a change in HVAC actuation state, and include an inertial carryover component that characterizes a carryover of a rate of indoor temperature change that was occurring immediately prior to the change in actuation state.

The invention relates to a system for writing a simulation program for simulating an automation installation. To facilitate the writing of a simulation program for a complex automation installation, the system comprises - means for defining a respective resource object (1, 3) for at least two components of the automation installation, wherein each of these resource objects (1, 3) has an associated program fragment (2, 4) with computer program code for simulating the functionality of the associated component and wherein each of these resource objects (1, 3) has at least one port (30, 40) whose value can be engaged and/or read in by the program fragment (2, 4) of the associated resource object (1, 2), - means for defining port data (31, 41, 61, 71) for each port (30, 40, 60, 70), which define characteristics of the values which can be interchanged on the associated port (30, 40, 60, 70), - means for identifying a first port (30) of a first resource object (1), which is provided for interchanging values with a second port (60) of a second resource object (3), on the basis of the port data (31, 61) associated with the first and second ports (30, 60), - means for defining precisely one variable which can be engaged with the values to be interchanged between the first and second ports (30, 60), and - means for integrating the program fragments (2, 4) associated with the first and second resource objects (1, 3) into the simulation program (5) and for engaging the variables with the values to be interchanged between the first and second ports (30, 60).

A process for curing a moldable compound under a plurality of curing conditions by: (1) obtaining time dependent data streams of dielectric or impedance values from a plurality of sensors distributed within a curing mold, wherein the moldable compound is a dialectric for each of the sensors; (2) determining impedance related measurements from the data streams for the plurality of sensors; (3) determining predictive and/or corrective curing actions for enhancing the curing process using the impedance related measurements for the plurality of sensors; and (4) controlling the mass production curing of parts to obtain cured parts having one or more desired properties.
摘要:
A system and method for monitoring the conditions in a gas plasma processing system while varying or modulating the RF power (2A, 2B, 2C) supplied to the system, so that resulting signals of the electrical circuits of the system provide information regarding operational parameters of the system or the state of a process. Significant improvements in sensitivity and accuracy over conventional techniques are thereby achieved. In addition, the plasma processing system can be thoroughly tested and characterized before delivery, to allow more accurate monitoring by monitor controller (1) of and greater control over a process, thereby improving quality control/assurance of substrates (40) being produced by the system. The information obtained by the modulation technique can be displayed on a monitor screen, in order to allow an operator to accurately monitor the system/process and diagnose any problems with the system/process.
摘要:
A system and device for sculpturing a laser beam along a laser axis to a target upon command using a device (17) between the laser source (11) and the target (23). The device includes an adjustable iris aperture (19) perpendicular to the axis. A controller adjusts the aperture and the door to sculpture the laser beam in a predetermined pattern. The controller also controls the laser to direct a laser beam on a target in the predetermined pattern which may be pulsed, the duration and intensity of the pulses being controlled by the controller. An encoder (41, 49) locates the iris and the door with respect to the axis for comparison of the positions with the predetermined pattern period. The device is rotatable in clockwise and counterclockwise directions by at least 180 degrees. A computer (27) is preferably used to control the positions of the iris and the door means.
