Patent EP-1801960-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YAMAUCHI TATSUMI
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 2006-12-11
Abstract: In the inventive bi-directional DC-DC converter that uses a transformer for both step-down and step-up operations, a switching frequency for operating a switching device is set separately for the step-down and step-up operations. For example, when the switching frequency during the step-up operation is lower than the switching frequency during the step-down operation, the range in which the duty ratio in PWM control can be controlled is widened, compensating for step-up ratio insufficiency. Conversely, step-down ratio insufficiency is compensated for by making the switching frequency during the step-down operation lower than the switching frequency during the step-up operation.

Abstract: A fusing unit (100) for an image forming apparatus (300) has a heating roller (110), and a fusing belt assembly (120) that rotates in contact with the heating roller (110). The fusing belt assembly (120) comprises a pressure roller (121), a separating roller (122) and a fusing belt (123) rotatably supported by the pressure roller (121) and the separating roller (122). A slip prevention element (200) prevents slippage of the fusing belt (123). Because the slip prevention element (200) is disposed at both ends of the separating roller (122) so that it does not interfere with the paper sheet being fused, the quality of printing can be improved without shortening the life of the fusing belt (123).

Abstract: A gas discharge source for EUV radiation and/or soft X-ray radiation is arranged in a vacuum chamber and includes at least two electrodes, each with a circular periphery and rotatably mounted for rotation. At one spatial position, the electrodes have a small spacing for the ignition of a gas discharge and are each connected to a reservoir for a liquid, electrically conductive material. During rotation, a liquid film of the electrically conductive material forms over the circular periphery of the electrodes and a flow of current to the electrodes is made possible. The electrodes connect to the reservoirs via a respective connecting element, wherein a gap is formed between electrode and connecting element over a partial section of the circular periphery of each electrode. The liquid material can penetrate from the reservoir and into the gap during rotation of the electrode via a feed channel formed in the connecting element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un variateur de lumière bifilaire destiné au réglage d'une charge de lumière générée par une source de courant alternatif (c.a.), comprenant un interrupteur à semi-conducteur, une alimentation de courant et un circuit de réglage. L'alimentation comprend un condensateur d'entrée de mémoire d'énergie qui n'est apte à se charger que si l'interrupteur à semi-conducteur n'est pas conducteur. Le circuit de réglage contrôle en continu la tension au condensateur d'entrée et réduit automatiquement le temps de conduction autorisé maximum de l'interrupteur à semi-conducteur lorsque la tension chute à un niveau qui ne garantit pas le fonctionnement correct de l'alimentation. Le variateur de lumière selon l'invention est capable de fournir le temps de conduction maximum possible de l'interrupteur à semi-conducteur à extrémité élevée (c'est-à-dire à une intensité de lumière maximale) tout en assurant simultanément un temps de charge suffisant pour le fonctionnement correct de l'alimentation et, partant, du variateur de lumière.
