Abstract: Circuit de génération et de commande de rampe linéaire destiné plus particulièrement à être utilisé dans un système de mesure d'intervalles de temps. Le circuit de rampe linéaire comprend un condensateur de maintien qu'il est possible de décharger de manière linéaire pendant un mode de fonctionnement du circuit en le couplant à une source de courant constant. La tension du condensateur de maintien est déchargée linéairement d'un niveau de tension de base à un niveau de tension de données qui est ensuite envoyé à un convertisseur analogique-numérique du système de mesure des intervalles de temps pour y subir un autre traitement. La tension du condensateur est ramenée à un niveau de tension de base pendant un mode de récupération du fonctionnement du circuit par un réseau de récupération ou de recharge. Le réseau de recharge peut comprendre un circuit à rétroaction active qui envoie une réponse de tension qui est approximativement du deuxième ordre au condensateur de maintien pendant le mode de récupération. Le circuit peut également comprendre un amplificateur composite qui sert à mettre en attente le niveau de tension du condensateur de maintien à un niveau de sortie du circuit pendant un mode de maintien du fonctionnement du circuit. Cette invention a pour effet de permettre de réduire les erreurs telles que dérive, bruit du signal et instabilité de la tension de base.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an alternating voltage indicator placed next to an electrical conductor. Indication is based on the detection of an electric field around a live conductor. Energy is taken capacitively (100) from an alternating electric field in order to bring a resonant circuit (200) tuned to the frequency of the alternating voltage into oscillating state. The voltage of the resonant circuit (200) is amplified (300) and converted into an on/off type (400) signal indicating the presence of an alternating voltage. The indicator according to the invention is electrically safe and it indicates the presence of an alternating voltage regardless of whether the alternating voltage source is loaded at that particular point or not.

Abstract: A circuit interrupter including an operating mechanism and separable main
contacts interconnected with load and line terminals has an interface region between
the top and bottom portions of the completed housing thereof, which may be of
reduced cross section relative to the remainder of the side walls of the circuit
interrupter for being moved or pushed outwardly under the pressure of expanding gas

surfaces by near lateral movement thereof to provide a small opening for pressurized
gas to escape the elasticity of the side wall is utilized for this purpose. Provided that
the elasticity limit is not exceeded, the wall will return to its original position sealing the
internal portions of the circuit interrupter from the exterior once the gas pressure has
dropped below a predetermined level.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cheap machine of
small size exclusively used for processing a key groove,
requiring no skillfulness. It is so constructed that a
voltage is applied to an insulated work table through lead
wires. A piece to be processed is reciprocated in left- and
rightward directions. A center position of processing is
calculated, based on digital displays of conduction signal
positions, which left and right contact positions of a
cutting tool inserted into a throughhole, in air inner wall
of which the key groove should be formed, with the inner wall
and a position of processing is set for the cutting tool by
means of a scale, which position is fixed by using an
eccentric lever. The work table is moved automatically
intermittently with a cutting pitch set, linked with an air
cylinder. A cutting distance for the key groove is set by a
separation distance s between two magnetic sensors and
cutting of the key groove K having a depth d is effected by
moving the work table intermittently backward in a region, at
two extremities of which the two magnetic sensors respond,
respectively, to a magnet base, which is formed in one body
with the work table.
