摘要:
A method for automated control of a steam turbine during cyclic operation includes the steps of comparing current turbine loading with an anticipated load profile to generate a load error signal. Anticipated electrical load profiles correspond to the time of day, day of the week, month of the year, and historical data; operator input can vary such historical profiles as appropriate for unusual situations. The predicted load profile is categorized with respect to selected composite electrical load cycle profiles; weighted operating constraints are generated by means of a fuzzy inference calculation using electrical cycle profiles selected to correspond to the anticipated electrical load profile. Control signals for selected steam plant regulatory functions, such as steam supply valve position and boiler pressure, are produced by applying the fuzzy logic-generated weighted operating constraints and the load error signal so as to optimize turbine load-following efficacy, steam plant efficiency, and machinery stress reduction. These control signals are then applied to respective regulatory function actuators in the steam plant to implement the desired trajectory of steam plant operation.
摘要:
The means shown and described in the specifications to activate the covers can be modified and/or varied using different means. A year of evaluating and testing a working model of a toaster using the disclosed design proved it to be economically alnd practically superior over other means being considered. Its means of operation prevented damaging of food which, for any reason, protruded out of the toaster's receptacles. The normal operation of the toaster is not affected. The covers do not interfere with the pop up of the toaster. The versatility of the covers' design permits it to be utilized to cover the receptacles to keep the toast warm after toasting without the use of electrical energy, and to cover the receptacles when the toaster is not being used. Better tasting toast is produced as the result of convection toasting effected by the covering of the receptacles.
摘要:
A multiprocessing system is presented having a plurality of processing nodes interconnected together by a communication network, each processing node including a processor, responsive to user software running on the system, and an associated memory module, and capable under user control of dynamically partitioning each memory module into a global storage efficiently accessible by a number of processors connected to the network, and local storage efficiently accessible by its associated processor.
摘要:
A multiprocessing system is presented for dynamically partitioning a storage module into a global storage efficiently accessible by a number of processors connected to a network, and local storage efficiently accessible by individual processors, including the interleaving of storage references output by a processor, under the control of that processor, and dynamically directing the storage references to first or second portions of the storage module.
