Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an air conditioner comprises an inverter circuit (9) for
feeding a pseudo-sine wave obtained by comparison between a modulated wave and a
carrier wave, a refrigeration cycle device which has a compressor (5) driven by the
pseudo-sine wave from the inverter circuit (9) so that the modulated wave is adjusted
according to a load of an air conditioner, and a correction device for correcting the
amplitude of the modulated wave at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the
power source from the inverter circuit (9) extends beyond a predetermined range.
When the rated voltage of the power source extends beyond a second predetermined
range, the compressor (5) is shut down to avoid damage to the air conditioner. A
predetermined time interval is shortened as the difference between the aforementioned
power source voltage and the rated voltage becomes larger, so that shutdown of the
compressor (5) is restricted during voltage variation of the power source.

Patent EP-0949765-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04J13/10
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A digital (de)modulation system uses a larger code set of M codes for N
length codes, where M > N, to provide an increased data rate while maintaining the
coding gain. For example, the system can use 16 different codes each having a length
of 11 chips in a code set while the conventional M-ary keying systems use a code set
size of 8 for 11-chip codes or 8-chip codes. By extending the code set size, the
system increases the data rate of the system. With 16 codes and the ability to change
the sign of the code to be transmitted, the system can encode 5 data bits on both I and
Q, so a total of 10 data bits can be encoded per code symbol. In this embodiment, a
code symbol contains an 11 chip code on a I modulation branch and an 11 chip code
on a Q modulation branch. As such, using 11 chip codes and a chip rate of 11Mhz,
the system provides a data rate of 10Mbps while conventional M-ary keying systems
can only achieve 8Mbps using the same code length and chip rate. By extending the
code length, the processing gain is increased. The extended code set is not
orthogonal, so a non-zero cross-correlation value results between the different codes
of the code set. However, the resulting noise and multipath performance degradation
can be kept small by choosing code sets with small cross-correlation values (nearly
orthogonal). The magnitudes of both cross-correlation values and auto-correlation
sidelobes should preferably be below half a code length. In some embodiments, the
code set is derived from orthogonal codes which are modified to reduce the
autocorrelation sidelobes associated with the orthogonal codes. In other
embodiments, the code set is derived using a complementary code which provides
low autocorrelation sidelobes and is modified to reduce the cross-correlation values
between the codes.

Abstract: A plurality of patterns (SP1 to SP8) respectively
having different area factor of dot formation area are
formed by forward and reverse scanning printing of a
print head (1), and then optical characteristics of
the plurality of formed patterns are measured. A
function representing the relationship between the
printing position offset between the forward and
reverse printings is determined from the optical
characteristics. Then, respective pattern (PM, PF,
PS) having a predetermined area factor of dot formation
area is formed by means of forward and reverse scanning
where the speed is differentiated according to the mode
of a printing apparatus, and then the optical
characteristics of this pattern is measured. By
applying this measured optical characteristics to the
function, an adjustment value of the dot formation
position conditions between the forward and reverse
scans is obtained for each mode. This makes it easy
to perform printing registration in a printing
apparatus in the case of printing by a forward and
reverse scan of a printing head or in the case of
printing by means of a plurality of printing heads.
In this case, operations by a user etc. are also
unnecessary and are easily performed.

Abstract: A dual-mode system for inexpensively operating electrically powered double-insulated devices (12), such as hand-held power tools and appliances. The system includes a cordless battery pack (14) that supplies the power and current demands of the device (12) in a cordless mode or a non-isolated corded voltage converter (16) that supplies the necessary power and current demands in a physical envelope commensurate in size and interchangeable with that of the battery pack (14). The corded voltage converter (16) is provided with a non-isolated high efficiency power supply that allows the converter (16) to generate the power and current required by the driven device (12). The double insulation of the driven device (12) negates the need for a transformer-isolated voltage converter. Eliminating the power transformer from the converter significantly reduces the cost of the module (16). Additionally, the need for multiple battery packs and fast rechargers is minimized by the availability of a low-cost converter. The voltage converter (16) includes an inrush current limiter (103) and power conditioner for filtering AC or DC input power. The filtered voltage is chopped by a transformerless buck-derived converter. The chopped voltage is rectified and filtered to provide low-voltage DC power to the drive motor of the powered double-insulated device (12). <IMAGE>
