Title: Controlling current in an inverter controlled DC resistance welding apparatus
Inventor: TAKANO FUMITOMO
IPC: B23K11/25
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: An inverter-controlled DC resistance welding apparatus having a transformer 14 and a means to control 61,71,30 secondary or welding current, utilizes secondary current sensing 42 and feedback 12r. The system also senses the primary current 41. If the secondary current drops rapidly due to poor electrical contact with the work piece or apparently falls due to a fault in the secondary current sensor 42, the control system may compensate by increasing the primary current to such an extent that the inverter 12 may saturate and be damaged. To avoid this problem, the control system may be switched to primary current feedback when the sensed primary current exceeds a pre-determined allowable range.

The flexible disc is sized to be capable of flexing and closing the aperture in the adjacent deflectable disc. This allows setting of different characteristics for low speed compression strokes when compared to low speed rebound strokes.

Title: Adjusting activity intervals according to remaining battery capacity in a mobile communication terminal
Inventor: SEO HEE-WON
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: The battery life of a mobile communication terminal which performs activities at particular time intervals, or slots, is extended by controlling a slot cycle according to a remaining capacity of the battery. The terminal has a slot cycle index table for storing a plurality of reference levels and their corresponding slot cycle indexes. As a slot cycle change mode is set, the terminal detects the battery level in a prescribed level check cycle and compares the detected battery level with the reference levels in sequence. If the detected battery level is higher than a selected one of the reference levels, the terminal sets the slot index to a value corresponding to the selected reference level. Further, the terminal sets the slot cycle index corresponding to a longest slot cycle, when the detected battery level falls outside of a reference level range.

Title: Thermally compensating, self-aligning bearing for a submersible pump motor
Inventor: KINSINGER GRIFF H
IPC: F16C27/06
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: A self-centring rotor bearing assembly suitable for a submersible pump motor, eg for a centrifugal pump, has a rotating shaft 26, a sleeve 48 keyed to the shaft 26, a journal 36 about the sleeve 48 with a sliding contact interface 50 therebetween, and seals 56, 58 between the journal 36 and inner surface 46 of the stator 34. The seals 56, 58, having a resilient activating member (eg a coil spring or resilient metal) and an interface member (eg a synthetic polymer like PTFE or a mixture of PTFE and other materials) dampen radial forces of the shaft 26, exert a force between the journal 36 and inner surface 46 of the stator 34 preventing rotation of the journal 36 and bias the journal 36 towards the sleeve 46. Non-uniform thermal expansion of the assembly can be accommodated for due to the axial freedom of sleeve 48 keyed to the shaft. The pump may have a plurality of such assemblies, stacked (fig 2).

Abstract: A power factor correction circuit 10 comprises an series connection of a bridge rectifier, DB<SB>1</SB> a first winding L<SB>a</SB> , a diode D<SB>1</SB> and an electrolytic capacitor C<SB>1</SB>; a series connection of the electrolytic capacitor C<SB>1</SB>, a second winding L<SB>b</SB> and a DC/DC converter 2; and a common core T<SB>r1</SB> wound round by the first winding L<SB>a</SB> and the second winding L<SB>b</SB>. The diode D<SB>1</SB> is able to switch between a reverse bias and a forward bias by controlling the polarities of the windings such that an input current always flows to the electrolytic capacitor C<SB>1</SB> during each sinusoidal period of an ac voltage. Also, a dc ripple voltage of the electrolytic capacitor C<SB>1</SB> will not rise due to a drop in load when the DC/DC convertor 2 is operating in a continuous current mode. Furthermore an output of the DC/DC converter 2 will not be adversely affected by 120 Hz ac voltage input. The DC/DC converter may be a fly back convertor (figure 9).
