Patent GB-2376357-B (GB)
Title: Power converter and method for power conversion
Inventor: CROCKER TIMOTHY RICHARD
IPC: H02M3/155
Filed: 2001-06-09
Granted: 2005-05-04
Abstract: A power converter for controlling power flow between first and second voltages has the following structure. A common connection links a first polarity of the first and second voltages, and a first electrode of a capacitance is coupled to the common connection. First and second switches are connected in series between the common connection and the second electrode of the capacitance, and the second polarity of the first voltage is coupled through a first inductance to the connection between the first and second switches. Third and fourth switches are also connected in series between the common connection and the second electrode if the capacitance, but the second polarity of the second voltage is coupled through a second polarity of the second voltage is coupled through a second inductance to the connection between the third and fourth switches. A controller controls the operation of all the switches in order to control the power flow between the first and second voltages. The circuit can be controlled in a variety of ways. For example, if the first switch is opened and the second closed while the third and fourth switches operate alternately, the second voltage is less than the first voltage. In general, however, controlling the alternating switching of the first and second or the third and fourth switches determines the ratio between the first and second voltages.

Title: TV camera optical system

Granted: 1987-10-22
Abstract: The system has components series-mounted in the direction of the light travel. The face-plate of the camera tube is coated with a light-sensitive layer, and the last compoen component of the objective exhibits a lens power different from zero while acting as the faceplate of the tube. For cameras with a significant angular field of view it is expedient to have the last component in the objective as a concave lens with the curvature facing the object. When the field is limited to 20 deg. in the case of long-focus system, the last component is a positive plano-convex lens with its curvature facing the object. Other types of lenses are selected for different conditions of camera work. The first variant of the objective (2) has input with cemented biconvex lens (5) and biconcave lens (6) followed by similar cemented lenses (7,8). The third component includes cemented biconvex and biconcave lenses (9,10), the last part of the objective formed by the faceplate (3) the optical power of which differs from zero. The faceplate lens is planoconcave and is mounted in the holder (11) secured at the end of the camera housing, while the lens (3) is coated with a light-sensitive layer (12). The adapter (14) connects the housing (13) holding the objective (2) with the housing of the TV tube (4).
