Abstract: Compensateur de var statique (SVC) polyphasé à condensateur actionné par thyristor, utilisant un transformateur (21) relié aux condensateurs du SVC (33, 43, 53) et configuré de façon que lorsque les condensateurs sont désactivés du circuit en séquence, la charge résiduelle sur les condensateurs est réduite par le transfert d'énergie entre le condensateur et un dispositif de dissipation d'énergie par l'intermédiaire du transformateur. Les primaires du transformateur (31, 51, 41) sont reliés aux bornes des condensateurs correspondants, alors que les secondaires (32, 52, 42) sont reliés en série suivant une configuration en delta. Des résistances d'amortissement (34, 44, 54) peuvent être reliées en série avec les primaires pour aider à dissiper l'énergie du condensateur. Le transformateur peut être saturable et peut être constitué de transformateurs individuels ou d'un transformateur polyphasé.

Abstract: Méthodes et systèmes d'étalonnage d'émetteurs-récepteurs. Les composants d'un émetteur-récepteur analogique produisent des erreurs, telles que des erreurs de gain et de décalage dans la partie récepteur ou dans la partie émetteur. Ces erreurs sont compensées par l'ajustement du traitement des signaux numériques dans la partie calcul de l'émetteur-récepteur. Les erreurs peuvent être mesurées selon une procédure d'étalonnage, puis les valeurs de compensation déterminées sont mémorisées dans un dispositif de mémoire de l'émetteur-récepteur. Ces valeurs peuvent ensuite être retrouvées lorsque l'émetteur-récepteur est initialisé et peuvent être utilisées pendant le traitement des signaux reçus et émis par cet appareil.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously controlling satellite nutation, sun angle and attitude walk using a dual-slit sun sensor (14-20) and thrusters. The sun and nutation angles (φ, ν) are computed from sun sensor data, and the thrusters are fired when their use improves both sun angle and nutation. Precession around the sun line (S) is controlled by constraining firing, in the simplest case, firing only when the angular momentum (H) is precessed directly toward or away from the sun. Precession maneuvers are implemented by commanding a new sun angle and precession plane spin phase.

An arrangement for limiting a signal amplitude is connected in series before the low pass filter. A galvanic isolation arrangement, such as an opto-isolator, is pref. connected before the low pass filter.

continuous clock signal in one channel while the clock signal in other channels
might be changed, e.g. in order to receive new timing edges as references for
testing a DUT.

Abstract: A self-propelled harvester (10) is provided with apparatus for tracking a crop line (16) and steering the harvester along the crop line without operator assistance. The apparatus includes a video camera (30) for viewing the landscape in front of the harvester (10) and forming an image which may be electronically scanned line-by-line and pixel-by-pixel to produce a video signal containing information regarding the spectral characteristics of the image at each pixel. A microprocessor (42) is programmed to act as a discriminator and a segmenter. The discriminator generates from the information signals discriminant values d( i , j ) wherein  i  identifies the scan line and  j  is the relative position of a pixel on the scan line  i . The segmenter determines a step function which best fits the discriminant values for each scan line  i . The pixel position  j   n  corresponding to the step of this step function is taken as a vote on the location of the crop line and thus a vote on the direction the harvester (10) should be steered. The votes are summed for each pixel position  j  over one full scan of the image. The summed votes are then normalized, time-weighted, and averaged with the normalized and time-weighted votes derived from previously scanned images to derive a steering command.
