Patent EP-0878904-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ICHIKAWA YOHEI
IPC: H03F1/30
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A power amplifier including an FET and a gate bias
circuit having a variable resistor (VR) and a method of
trimming the VR in the power amplifier are disclosed. The
VR is trimmed to make the bias voltage to a pinch-off
voltage of the FET. A first current in the pinch-off
voltage condition from a bias supply voltage is measured.
The VR is adjusted with a second current from the bias
supply voltage measured. A difference between the first
and second drain current values is calculated and a
resistance of the VR is determined to make the difference
within a reference. A second VR may be connected to the VR
in parallel to make trimming the bias voltage easier or
more accurately. The second VR may comprise a printed
circuit pattern which shows 0 Ω for the pinch-off condition
and the printed circuit pattern also provides the infinite
resistance when it is cut to adjust the VR. Another power
amplifier including a memory and a D/A converter for
generating the gate bias voltage is also disclosed. The
memory stores data making the FET in the pinch-off
condition to measure the first current, a set of data
varying the second current to adjust the VR and can store
the data making the difference within the predetermined
value. In the case of multi-stage, trimming is performed
from one of stages of which reference is smallest.

Abstract: An instrument for measuring electrical capacitance in the core of an insulated cable (10, 12, 14), passing through a cooling water bath (16) is in two sections. The second measuring tube (44, 64), which surrounds the cable, is coaxial to the first (20, 60, 62), but shorter in length. Both are covered by a protective tube (24). They are identical in cross-section. Two current measuring devices (34, 36) are connected to the first section and a third (38) is connected to the second section. They depend on a high frequency voltage of 450 kHz. From the currents (1/1, 1/2), detected in the two latter devices (36, 38) and added together, a measure of capacitance can be obtained. The current (1/5) measured in the first device (34) is used for comparison to indicate capacitance variations.

Abstract: A control valve (40) is provided to be mainly used in a
clutch-less compressor of the type in which displacement of
the compressor is varied depending on the inclination of a
drive plate (17) which varies depending on the crank
pressure. The control valve (40) includes biasing means
(47,52) that applies force to a valve body (46), a force
transferring member (65) that urges the valve body (46) to
forcibly open the valve against the force of the biasing
means (47,52) and the pressure difference between a crank
chamber (3) and a suction chamber (8) of the compressor, and
a solenoid assembly (60) to actuate the force transferring
member (65). The valve remains closed when no electric
current is supplied to the solenoid assembly (60),
regardless of the crank pressure or the suction pressure.
This facilitates minimum displacement operation of the
compressor for a desired period of time and therefore makes
the valve suitable for a clutch-less type compressor that is
directly connected to an engine with a belt and/or a pulley.

station is performed. Thus, when the control station is set and the access
management of wireless communication is carried out under the control of the
