Title: Circuit d'alimentation a decoupage
Inventor: YASUMURA MASAYUKI
IPC: H02M7/06
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un circuit d'alimentation à découpage qui permet la mise en oeuvre sélective d'un élément de commutation doté d'une caractéristique de résistance à une tension relativement faible et d'une capacité de courant relativement faible, et qui peut être produit à faible coût et avec des dimensions réduites. Lors du démarrage de l'alimentation, la fréquence de commutation de l'élément de commutation est accrue par un circuit de démarrage logiciel dans le but d'augmenter le laps de temps au bout duquel une tension de sortie en C.C. du côté du secondaire atteint un niveau stable. En conséquence, les niveaux d'une tension de résonance et d'un courant collecteur obtenus lorsque l'élément de commutation démarre son opération de commutation sont supprimés.

IPC: H02M1/00

Abstract: Commercially available transition mode power factor correction integrated circuits have an output pin that is used to control a MOSFET in the power output circuit as well as a multiplier input pin that is used to set the peak current. Zero crossing distortion in the input line current is significantly decreased by reducing the range of the portion of rectified line voltage applied to the multiplier input. The range may be reduced by adding clamping device such as a Zener diode to the voltage divider used to sense the rectified line voltage, so that the peak value at the multiplier input is clamped if the rectified line voltage exceeds a certain value. Another technique changes the value of impedance in the voltage divider used to sense the rectified line voltage. The change in the divider impedance may be achieved by using a transistor to switch a resistor in and out of the divider and a detector circuit to turn the signal transistor ON or OFF as a function of the rectified line voltage.

Abstract: A multi-stage compression refrigeration apparatus (10) includes a
compressor having a first stage low-pressure compression means (32) and a second
stage high-pressure compression means (34), a condenser (1), a first decompression
means (3), an intercooler (6), a second decompression means (7), and an evaporator

second parts, with the first part passed to the intercooler (6) via the first
decompression means (3) while the second part is passed to the evaporator (8) via
the second decompressor (7). The refrigerant passed to the second decompressor (7)
undergoes heat exchange with the intercooler (6). The refrigerant discharged from
the evaporator (8) is fed to the low-pressure compression means (32). The
refrigerant discharged from the intercooler (6) is fed to the high-pressure
compression means (34) together with the refrigerant discharged from the low-pressure
compression means. The apparatus further comprises a second
intercooler (5) downstream of the evaporator (8) so that the second diverted part of
the refrigerant may undergo heat exchange in the intercooler (5) prior to entering
the evaporator. The inventive apparatus thus may perform refrigeration with an
improved efficiency during an early stage of its startup.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des absorbeurs de son microperforés, formés, et leurs procédés de fabrication. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'absorbeur de son est produit à partir d'un film polymère, généralement en plastique, comprenant une série de microperforations formées sur l'intégralité ou sur une partie de la surface du film. Le film est alors formé pour produire la forme tridimensionnelle désirée. La profondeur de la forme tridimensionnelle est conçue pour obtenir une profondeur de cavité désirée qui, à la fois, influence le spectre d'absorption du son. Après la formation, la forme tridimensionnelle est conservée sans l'aide d'éléments ou de cadres de support supplémentaires. La déformation des microperforations due au procédé de formation n'interfère pas sensiblement avec les propriétés d'absorption du son du film. De plus, la résonance du film sur des zones en grande partie sans support n'a quasiment pas d'incidence sur le spectre d'absorption du son.
