Abstract: Circuits and methods for a switched power converter providing charge power for at least one battery and at the same time delivering current to operate an electronic device, wherein the converter is enabled to operate out of current limit mode, for the maximum possible range of system load requirements, have been achieved. The input current of the power converter is measured within each cycle-by-cycle, i.e. within each cycle of an external clock reference and the charge current is reduced if the input current exceeds a defined portion, e.g. 80% of the maximum allowable input current. The power converter may only enter current limited operation after the charge current has been already reduced to zero. Operating out of current limit mode ensures a maximum efficiency of the converter, maximize the current deliverable to a given load and minimizes subharmonics in the output current and voltage, thereby minimizing interference with other system component..

Abstract: When a large optical device is incorporated into a large telescope or the like, a support state and a load distribution are different from those when an object to be ground is placed on a workpiece supporting fixture of a processing machine, and a surface shape measured in a state of being mounted on the processing machine is different from a surface shape in an incorporated state. Thus, there has been no apparatus for manufacturing an optical device that is deformed by its own weight. The present invention provides a grinding apparatus for manufacturing an optical device that is deformed by its own weight, including a workpiece supporting fixture having a workpiece support surface shaped so as to closely contact a rear surface opposite to a ground surface of an object to be ground that is to be an optical device in a grinding state, wherein a plurality of piezoelectric actuator holes each having an open portion in the workpiece support surface and a central axis oriented vertically are provided at predetermined hole locations of the workpiece supporting fixture, and a piezoelectric actuator and a load cell are incorporated in each of the piezoelectric actuator holes in a liftable manner.

Abstract: In an interior-side design surface (24) of a trim (16) of a rear door (10), a pull handle portion (30) to be grasped by fingers from the rear of a vehicle body when the rear door (10) is closed is provided. The pull handle portion 30 has a recessed shape running obliquely downwards from a handle opening portion (32) formed in the interior-side design surface (24). Since a section 28 sandwiched between the handle opening portion (32) and a lower end of the trim (16) is sunken relative to a general portion, a trim bottom face (26) is recessed in this section (28). Therefore, even when the interior-side design surface (24) of the trim (16) of the fully opened rear door (10) is not visible from the rear of the vehicle body, the position of the pull handle portion (30) is easily recognizable from the position of the recessed section (28) in the trim bottom face (26).

Abstract: To include a cooling passage leading from a latter stage of a compressor (1), via an external cooler (5), to a hollow part (6) provided in a load coupling (43) that couples a rotor (4) of the compressor (1) and a rotor (4) of a turbine (3) to each other, and also leading from the hollow part (6) to the latter stage of the compressor (1), and a centrifugal compressor (7) that raises air pressure in the hollow part (6) with rotation of the load coupling (43), in the hollow part (6). Therefore, a pressure of the air in the hollow part (6) is raised by the centrifugal compressor (7) by using a centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of the load coupling (43) at the time of operating the gas turbine. As a result, cooled air flows from the hollow part (6) to between compressor rotor blades (141) and compressor vanes (131) at the latter stage, and then flows into the hollow part (6), thereby enabling to efficiently reduce temperature in the hollow part (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a spunbonded fabric. In order to achieve an improved airiness of the spunbonded fabric and ready adaptability to process parameters which are to be changed, the spinning beam together with the blowing apparatus is configured to be pivotable in a pivoting unit. A required high airiness is achieved by the filaments running obliquely onto the fabric belt below the spinning beam. Rotary leadthroughs or elastic feed lines to the spinning beam make the slight pivoting possible.
