Abstract: A pulse step modulator employs a plurality of series connected unit step power amplifier modules. Each module is turned on by a turn-on signal to provide a unit step voltage of a given value. An output circuit is connected to the modules for providing an output voltage to a load and wherein the output voltage is a multiple of the unit step voltages in dependence upon the number of modules that are turned on. The modules are sequentially turned on in a given order and are turned off in the reverse order. An encoder provides turn-on signals with each turn-on signal being applied to a selected one of the modules. The number of turn-on signals provided varies as a function of the magnitude of a time varying input signal.  A  controller alternately turns enables or disables (in a swapping manner) one of a pair of associated modules as the magnitude of the input signal increases and decreases.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de guidage (1) pour un dispositif permettant de produire des préformes de fibre optique dans le cadre d'un procédé TFP pour des composants composites. Un faisceau de fibres (3) est posé puis fixé sur une couche de support avec une trajectoire quasiment quelconque. Le système de guidage (1) selon cette invention sert principalement à guider le faisceau de fibres (3). Selon cette invention, le système de guidage (1) présente une ouverture de passage (2) avec une géométrie de section transversale variable pour faire passer le faisceau de fibres (3). Le système de guidage (1) peut être appliqué dans la zone d'une tête d'attache du dispositif permettant de mettre en oeuvre le procédé TFP. En raison de la géométrie de section transversale variable de l'ouverture de passage (2), la largeur du faisceau de fibres (3) à poser et à fixer peut être agrandie, par exemple dans des sections de trajectoire avec des petits rayons de courbure, de manière à éviter des épaississements locaux indésirables dans ces sections de trajectoire. Un système de commande et de régulation se charge de préférence aussi bien de la commande de voie d'une tête d'attache d'un dispositif qui est utilisé pour le procédé TFP que de la commande de la variation de la géométrie de section transversale du système de guidage (1). Grâce au système de guidage (1) selon cette invention, il est possible de rééquiper de manière simple des dispositifs préalablement connus pour produire des préformes de fibre optique pour des composants composites dans le cadre d'un procédé TFP.
