Title: Environmental brush seal
Inventor: MATTICE DOUGLAS A
IPC: E06B7/22
Filed: 2008-05-19
Abstract: A passive brush seal effectively to limit conditioned air such as humidity, temperature or filtered air, or contaminated air such as smoke or fumes from an area of greater pressure to one of lower pressure.

Abstract: A steady state frequency control circuit for a variable frequency regulator including an open loop frequency control circuit, a frequency detector and a comparator circuit. The variable frequency regulator provides a clock signal indicating actual operating frequency and has a frequency control parameter for adjusting steady state operating frequency. The frequency detector receives the clock signal and provides a frequency sense signal which is compared with a steady state frequency reference signal to provide a frequency adjust signal. The frequency control parameter is adjusted by the frequency adjust signal to control steady state frequency. A method of controlling steady state frequency of a variable frequency regulator includes using open loop frequency control, determining the operating frequency and providing a frequency sense signal, comparing the frequency sense signal with frequency reference signal and providing a frequency adjust signal, and adjusting the frequency control parameter based on the frequency adjust signal.
