Patent CA-2644727-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SALVESTRINI CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: H05B39/08
Filed: 2007-03-15
Abstract: A two-wire dimmer is operable to control the amount of power delivered to a magnetic low-voltage (MLV) load and comprises a bidirectional semiconductor, a timing circuit, a trigger circuit having a variable voltage threshold, and a clamp circuit. When a timing voltage signal of the timing circuit exceeds an initial magnitude of the variable voltage threshold, the trigger circuit is operable to render the semiconductor switch conductive, reduce the timing voltage signal to a predetermined magnitude less than the initial magnitude, and to increase the variable voltage threshold to a second magnitude greater than the first magnitude. The clamp circuit limits the magnitude of the timing voltage signal to a clamp magnitude between the initial magnitude and the second magnitude, thereby preventing the timing voltage signal from exceeding the second magnitude. Accordingly, the MLV dimmer is prevented from conducting asymmetric current when an MLV transformer of the MLV load is unloaded.

Abstract: A pre-decoder in a variable instruction length processor indicates properties of instructions in pre-decode bits stored in an instruction cache with the instructions. When all the encodings of pre-decode bits associate with one length instruction are defined, a property of an instruction of that length may be indicated by altering the instruction to emulate an instruction of a different length, and encoding the property in the pre-decode bits associated with instructions of the different length. One example of a property that may be so indicated is an undefined instruction.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a quadrupole rod set ion trap (2, 3) wherein a potential field is creat-ed at the exit of the ion trap (4, 5) which decreases with increasing radius in one radial direction. Ions within the ion trap (2, 3) are mass selectively excited in a radial direction. Ions which have been excited in the radial direction experience a potential field which no longer confines the ions axially within the ion trap but which instead acts to extract the ions and hence causes the ions to be ejected axially from the ion trap (2, 3).
