Inventor: ENG BENJAMIN JR
IPC: H03M1/52
Filed: 1994-01-25
Abstract: A multiple slope integrating analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes many improvements and refinements which eliminate timing and non-linearity errors which accumulate due to a large number of switching operations that occur over an integrate cycle. The ADC includes an integrator and a comparator in which an input voltage to be measured is applied to a summing node at the input of the integrator during an integrate cycle, while at the same time positive and negative reference currents are selectively applied to the summing node by a controller which monitors the output of the comparator in order to limit the voltage magnitude at the output of the integrator. Thereafter, during a de-integrate cycle, the input voltage is disconnected while progressively shallower ramps are measured with a high-speed clock for greater resolution and accuracy. The comparator has a slight hysteresis built in to slightly separate the switching thresholds for positive-going and negative going ramps. 
     The switches which control selection of the positive and negative reference currents are implemented in such a way that current surges are minimized. A method is provided to control the order in which the switches are operated to eliminate the effects of charge injection due to operation of the switches as well as signals that are cross-coupled from the control lines of adjacent switches. 
     The length of time the respective positive and negative currents are turned on during the integrate cycle is measured, and adjustments may be made using predetermined calibration factors to resolve errors in the ADC system. Thus, circuit parameters and values need only to be stable and not be precise, permitting the use of readily-available and inexpensive off-the-shelf parts and components.

Abstract: In a synchronizing circuit (22), an oscillator (34) provides an output signal at a frequency that is a higher integral multiple than that of a synchronizing input signal. A control circuit (24), responsive to the input signal and a feedback signal representative of the output signal, generates a control signal that is indicative of a difference in phase or frequency between the input and output signals. The oscillator is responsive to the control signal for synchronized tracking of the output signal to the input signal. The control signal exhibits a periodic variation which tends to result in a deviation of the oscillator output signal from its synchronized tracking condition in accordance with the periodic variation. The phase of the output signal is offset (by means of 142) relative to a corresponding phase of the periodic variation of the control signal for counteracting this deviation.

Abstract: Combustion of a richer-than-stoichiometric carbonaceous fuel mixture with air, yields a hot gas. Its heat drives an endothermic reaction, taking place between superheated steam and more fuel. The heat is transferred from the rich combustion process to the superheated steam and fuel, by radiative transfer, which may be direct or indirect. The hot gas flows as a hot core; the superheated steam/fuel mixture surrounds it in counterflow. Fuel gas is generated by the resulting reactions. In addition to this method, the gasifier to carry it out, is also claimed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A power output apparatus (20) of the present invention includes an engine (50), a clutch motor (30) connecting with a crankshaft (56) of the engine (50), an assist motor (40) connecting with a drive shaft (22), and a controller (80) for controlling the clutch motor (30) and the assist motor (40). In order to attain stable driving of the engine (50) at a target engine torque and a target engine speed, the engine (50) is feedback controlled with the torque of the clutch motor (30). In the feedback control, a range of scatter of the revolving speed of the crankshaft (56) (that is, a variation in rotation or pulsating torque) due to the pulsating power output from the engine (50) is set as a dead zone. The torque of the clutch motor (30) is accordingly not varied with the variation in rotation of the crankshaft 56 (pulsating torque). This structure effectively prevents the variation in rotation (pulsating torque) from being transmitted to the drive shaft (22).
