Patent EP-1814167-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NARUSE HIDEO
IPC: H01L41/04
Filed: 2007-01-25
Abstract: A control apparatus for a piezo injector is provided which includes a chopper and a controller. The chopper works to operate in a current increasing mode and a current decreasing mode cyclically to control a stroke of a piezoelectric device. The controller works to operate selectively in a charge mode to charge electrical energy to the piezoelectric device and a discharge mode to discharge the electrical energy from the piezoelectric device. When entering the discharge mode, the controller switches an operation of the chopper from the current increasing mode to the current decreasing mode at the time when the current reaches a given peak value and also switches it from the current decreasing mode to the current increasing mode when the current reaches a given bottom value. The controller determines at least one of the peak value and the bottom value based on a given electrical quantity of state of the piezoelectric device before start of the discharge mode such as the amount of charge saved in the piezoelectric device to discharge the piezoelectric device within a selected period of time.

IPC: H03F1/30
Filed: 2007-09-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed to control an output from an amplifier used in an audio power management system during a powering sequence. This invention solves the problem of pop-noise (also known as click-on noise) which occurs at the power-up interval when single supply-asymmetric output audio amplifier is used. Pop-noise is quite annoying and easily audible at class AB audio amplifiers. Main reason for this problem is the supply voltage rising time when the audio amplifier switched on. This time is increased to avoid the click-on noise.

Abstract: A surgical instrument including a drive mechanism configured to advance a staple driver and/or cutting member at a first rate and retract the staple driver and/or cutting member at a different rate. In at least one embodiment, the rate at which the driver and cutting member is advanced and/or retracted is the distance that the driver and/or cutting member is translated per actuation of a trigger, for example. In various embodiments, the cutting member can be retracted at a faster rate as compared to the rate in which it is advanced. In such embodiments, the surgical instrument can, owing to the slower advancing rate, provide a greater torque or advancing force to the cutting member while, owing to the faster retracting rate, reduce the time required for the surgeon to retract the cutting member.
