Abstract: A current-controlled ring oscillator uses a single controlled-current supply for supplying current to each inversion stage of the ring oscillator. The controlled current is dynamically adjusted to compensate for variations in process, voltage, or temperature conditions. A relatively simple circuit is used to generate the controlled current that supplies all of the inversion stages over a wide range of process, voltage, and temperature variations.

Abstract: Switching elements M1, M2, M3 are connected in series between the positive and negative lines carrying DC current supplied through a rectifier circuit 2 from an AC power supply 1 or directly supplied from a DC power source. The switching elements M1, M2, M3 are on/off controlled by a high-frequency signal. An inductor L1 and a capacitor C1 are inserted between a connection node a and a load terminal c. An inductor L2 and a capacitor C2 are inserted between a connection node b and a load terminal d. The phases of on/off of the switching elements M1, M3 are the same, and the phase of on/off of the switching element M2 is opposite to them. Without using any transformer, not only insulation against DC but insulation against AC is adequately ensured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for separating steam from a mixture of steam and fibres, comprising an elongated feeding compartment (12) having an inlet and feeding means (10) for feeding a mixture through said inlet. The feeding means comprises a tubular section (18) which is curved such that the mixture in the tubular section (18) is separated during influence of centrifugal forces in a heavy steam-less fraction of fibres in a outer layer (20) and in a light fibre-free fraction of steam in a inner layer (22). The tubular section is arranged in such a way that heavy fraction of fibres is fed through the inlet peripherally (P). The separated light fraction of steam is fed against the centre (C) of the compartment and removed through an outlet (23,24) of the apparatus. The present invention also relates to a feeding means (10) for use in an apparatus as defined above and a method.

The column in the system with the highest operating pressure is said to be operating at medium pressure. All the air to be distilled is pressurized to a high pressure, which is about 5 bar greater than the medium pressure. The air is purified at this high pressure, and a portion of the purified air is cooled in a heat exchange line, while another portion is expanded in a turbine. Part of the cooled air is drawn from the exchange line with a cold booster, which is mechanically coupled to at least one turbine. An energy dissipation device is also provided which is coupled to the turbine not coupled to the cold booster. The energy dissipation device is either another booster, an oil break system, or an electrical generator.

Abstract: Afin d'inverser avec précision une image inversée, un dispositif de traitement d'image comprend des moyens de jugement d'image inversée (S51 à S70) afin de juger une image dans laquelle un caractère ayant une plus forte concentration que le fond est tracé ou une image dans laquelle un caractère ayant une plus faible concentration que le fond est tracé à partir de la longueur d'exécution même si l'information sur l'image prédéterminée est moindre. Le dispositif de traitement d'image effectue un jugement d'image inversée. Tant que l'image inversée est jugée par la longueur d'exécution, il n'y a aucun risque de jugement erroné lorsqu'un rapport du caractère non inversé occupant la zone de jugement est important.
