Patent AU-608958-B2 (AU)
Title: Power transfer circuit including a sympathetic resonator
Inventor: EBERHART MARK ALLEN
IPC: H02J17/00
Filed: 1989-03-17
Granted: 1991-04-18
Abstract: A power transfer circuit includes first and second windings (L1,L2) sharing a common magnetic core (101). Each winding (L1,L2) has associated with it a parallel capacitor (C1,C2) to thus form a pair of "tank" circuits. The first winding (L1) is connected at one end to a voltage supply and, at the other end, to ground through an FET switch (100,200). The switch (100,200) is turned on and off at a predetermined frequency and at a 50% duty cycle. The second winding (L2) and associated capacitor (C2) achieves parallel resonance at the predetermined frequency. Similarly the combined first and second windings (L1,L2) and associated capacitors (C1,C2) achieve parallel resonance at said predetermined frequency. The second winding (L2) need not be electrically connected to the first winding (L1) which transfers energy to it through the magnetic core (101). The transfer circuit efficiently couples power across a dielectric interface to a pickup coil (L3). One particularly good application of the power taansfer circuit is in connection with a contactless Smart Card.

Title: Dual element headphone
Inventor: KOSS MICHAEL J
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1993-03-09
Granted: 1995-08-10
Abstract: A dual element headphone, including a first acoustic transducer mounted within a first housing so as to direct sound in a certain direction out of the first housing. The first housing is sized small enough so as to at least partially fit into the cavum concha of a listener's ear, and yet be larger in area than the entrance of the external acoustic meatus of the listener's ear. The first acoustic transducer is supported in the listener's ear so as to direct the sound generated by the transducer toward the entrance of the external acoustic meatus. A second acoustic transducer is mounted within a second housing. That second housing is substantially larger than the first housing, and overlies at least a portion of the auricle of the listener's ear. A crossover circuit divides the electrical signals received by the headphone, and transmits signals for higher frequencies to the first, smaller transducer and signals for lower frequencies to the second, larger transducer. The disclosure includes a headband and mounting plate, providing a set of these transducers for association with each ear. The first transducer may be flexibly mounted for improved comfort and sound fidelity.

Inventor: JANSING THOMAS
IPC: H01M8/0271
Filed: 1995-11-30
Granted: 1998-12-03
Abstract: In a high-temperature fuel cell with a solid electrolyte, the solid electrolyte (44) is mounted between metal flanges (30, 30') whose surface is at least partially coated with stabilised zirconium oxide (51, 52) or a similar gas-tight ceramic material with a crystalline structure that solidly adheres to the flanges.

The flanges are also insulated from each other. The gas flow channels (31, 31') provided in the flanges for aggressive reaction gasses may also be coated with a thin layer (41, 41') of the same material that protects them against the reaction gasses.

Title: Method and apparatus for restoring data
Inventor: HEDBERG MATS OLOF JOAKIM
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 1989-11-17
Granted: 1992-09-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for restoring at least one data signal (DATAIN) with the aid of a clock signal (CL). In the method at least two signal delay means (1,3) are arranged with time delay adjustable in time steps such that their time steps are given substantially the same responsiveness to at least one ambience factor, e.g. temperature. The first signal is delayed with the aid of a first one of the signal delay means. A first restored data signal (DATAOUT) is created by sensing the delayed first signal at given first times determined by the clock signal. The results of sensing at different sensing times are compared and the delay of the first signal by the first signal delay means is varied stepwise by varying the number of time steps in response to the comparison. The second signal delay means is used for relating a plurality of time steps to the clock signal period time. The magnitude of time steps in both the first and second signal delay means is controlled synchronously in response to the relating process to that the magnitude of a time step is in a given relationship to the clock signal period time. An apparatus in accordance with the invention inlcudes, apart from the signal delay means, first and second sensing, comparison and control means (2,4) connected to the signal delay means.
