20110181227	Method of Determining the Position of the Drive Mechanism of an Electric Machine, Such as a Motor, from the Current Supplied, and Arrangement for Carrying Out the Method - A method and arrangement for determining the position of the drive mechanism of an electric machine from the current supplied thereto. Determination of the position is effected over two independent channels by measuring the three-phase current of the electric machine or motor, converting the measured values to the current space vector, calculating the angle of the current space vector within one electrical revolution, and determining the position of the motor. A current command, the field of which acts in the direction of the flux or field of the drive mechanism or rotor, is added within the motor stator.	07-28-2011

20110131167	LP relaxation modification and cut selection in a MIP solver - Mixed integer programs (MIP) are solved by constructing and solving associated linear programming (LP) relaxation problems. The LP relaxations are iteratively constructed through the introduction of cutting planes that are derived using one solution of an LP, then filtered based on an alternative solution to the LP. The LP relaxation is constructed, and its alternate solution is derived, to efficiently converge to a solution for the MIP.	06-02-2011
