Inventor: SCHMITT HARALD
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: The arrangement has a converter with a charge pump for improving power factor and a pump control switch that carries a pump suppression current if at low impedance, resulting in an effective reduction in charge pump operation, has temperature-dependent resistance and is heated by the suppression current to a switching temperature at which the resistance adopts values that reduce the suppression current so charge pump operation is not degraded.  The arrangement has a converter (A,HT,T1,T2) with a charge pump (D5,D6,C31,C41,C51) for improving the power factor and a pump control switch that carries a pump suppression current if it is in a low impedance state, resulting in an effective reduction in charge pump operation. The pump control circuit resistance is temperature-dependent so that it is heated to a switching temperature by the pump suppression current at which the resistance adopts values that reduce the suppression current so that the operation of the charge pump is no longer degraded. AN Independent claim is also included for the following:  (a)  a method starting and operating a discharge lamp.

Abstract: A papermaking assembly has a central calender drum with a mantle around an inner void. The void esp. incorporates a passive oscillation dampening unit (26).  The oscillation dampener operates directly in conjunction with the drum mantle (14). The oscillation dampener (26) mass is at least 15 per cent pref. 20 per cent of that of the drum mantle. The oscillation dampener is presented at a position along the drum axis where a bulge forms during operation. The oscillation dampener is sub-divided into several units, each of which makes contact with the drum mantle inner face at a point where a bulge forms during operation. The dampening frequency is at a frequency chosen below that which would effect a barring action on the drum, or any drum forming part of the drum system. The dampening unit is a roller insert. The oscillation dampener consists essentially of a dumbbell unit whose cross-bar is suspended within an elastic disc. The dampening action is modified by subjecting the elastic disc to pressure (32).

Abstract: An artificial masonry unit suitable for use with a panel made of a compressible material having masonry unit receiving depressions in a front face thereof and protruding ribs defining and bordering the depressions. The depressions are sized to receive respective artificial masonry units in a close-fitting relationship. The artificial masonry unit comprises a body bounded by a front face, a back face, and a lateral face providing a thickness to the unit, and a back peripheral edge joining the back face and the lateral face. A tooth projection is projecting from the lateral face next to and parallel to the back peripheral edge for thrusting into the protruding rib when the masonry unit is inserted in a respective depression. Thanks to the tooth projection that is thrusting into the rib of a respective depression and that helps retaining the masonry unit within the depression prior to mortaring the wall, there is no need for using a mixture of cement to temporarily retain the masonry units within the depression. A method and a kit for making a masonry wall with the above described masonry unit is also disclosed.

Abstract: There is installed a special management node to
efficiently perform network configuration management. 
     When a node starts communication with another node, the
node sends a request for node position information about the
communication counterpart node to a management node. Upon
receiving the node position information request, the
management node references a network configuration
information table to calculate information about a route from
the node to the communication counterpart node. The
management node notifies the calculated route information.
By utilizing the route information, the node can communicate
with the communication counterpart node. 
     Each node notifies node-to-node connection information,
information about links with adj acent nodes, to the management
node as necessary. When a newly connecting node requests an
optimum connection target from the management node, the
management node selects an optimum node to connect to, based
on network configuration information it holds and notifies
it to the newly connecting node. The newly connecting node
connects to the optimum node in accordance with the contents
of the notified information.

Abstract: A pressure control valve assembly is disposed in the hydraulic flow path of a differential assembly connected to a passagaway leading to a limited slip device. The assembly includes a blind hole (1a), a groove (7b) partially intersecting the blind hole, a ball member (24) seated in the blind hole, and a spring (20) acting on the ball to bias the ball into the blind hole. At the intersection of the blind hole and groove, an area is formed to provide controlled leakage for the hydraulic fuild. As the hydraulic fluid flow increases, the hydraulic pressure of the fluid on the pressure side increases which increases the force on the ball acting against the spring. As the pressure increases further, the resultant forces on the ball deflect the spring to increase the bleed area and increase the fuild bled proportionally to the fluid pressure. Therefore, a pressure control mechanism is provided.
