Abstract: A power amplifying apparatus which is of a switching
type and capable of efficiently amplifying a power of an input AC
signal such as an acoustic signal, includes a first switch circuit
(11) and a second switch circuit (12) to which a power supply
voltage Vc is applied, an inductor (13) and a load (14) which are
connected between the switch circuits, and a control circuit (15)
which receives an input AC signal Vi, sets a predetermined ratio of
ON/OFF periods, and drives the switch circuits. The control circuit
(15) includes an arithmetic circuit (20) which multiplies a
modulation sensitivity (for example, an amplitude of a triangular
wave voltage used for generation of a pulse signal for driving a
switch circuit) by a ratio (Vc/Ec) of the power supply voltage Vc
and a DC component Ec thereof. This configuration can compensate
for distortion caused by a ripple variation of the power supply
voltage due to regenerated power or the like, and enable a gain
control by the power supply voltage.

Abstract: A process for producing iron metal and slag by smelting iron-containing source material, having iron present as oxide and/or a partially metalized state, in a reactor containing a molten bath comprising or having a slag phase, utilises injection of fuel/reductant and oxygen-containing gas into the slag, by at least one top-submerged lance, to generate heating and reducing conditions in at least one reducing region in the bath. The source material is fed to the reactor, together with additional reductant and with flux, at or adjacent to the at least one reducing region, to subject the source material to smelting reduction which generates combustion gases comprising CO and H2. The rates of injection of the oxygen-containing gas and fuel/reductant by said at least one lance are controlled to achieve required, sufficient reducing conditions; and, in the reactor above the bath, the combustion gases generated by the smelting are post-combusted. The controlling of step (c) is conducted to result in the injected oxygen-containing gas having an oxygen content of from about 40 volume % to about 100 volume % and sufficient for a degree of combustion in excess of 60 wt % of the fuel/reductant injected by the at least one lance.
