Inventor: RAISER FRANZ DR
IPC: H05B37/00
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: One or more low voltage lamps are connected to a switching network's component's output. A load current (IL) matches the sum of currents (I1,I2) flowing through all these voltage lamps. The switching network's component's input is triggered by a changeable input signal (Ue1,Ue2). The switching network's component is connected to an operating voltage (UB). During the calibration process the dependence of an output signal's (Ua) parameter on the operating voltage and the load current is specified and stored in a memory along with the corresponding values for the changeable input signal. During operation parameters are specified for load current and operating voltage and values selected for the changeable input signal depending on values specified before by the load current and the operating voltage. These values correspond to the desired value of the output signal's parameter. The output signal is changed to the values selected from the memory store. An Independent claim is included for a switching circuit for low-voltage lamp.

Abstract: A power circuit according to the present invention is
adapted to suppress the generation of an inrush current during
the initial operation thereof substantially without increasing
the layout area thereof. The power circuit includes:
an output transistor for supplying a current from a power supply
to an output terminal; and a differential amplifier for
controlling the current supplied by the output transistor at
such a value as equalizing an output voltage with a reference
voltage. A limiting transistor is provided as a source follower
on a current path at the output stage of the differential
amplifier. The gate potential of the output transistor
is controlled using the source potential of the limiting transistor.
Before the power circuit starts to operate, an operation
controller charges a capacitor for controlling the gate
potential of the limiting transistor. And during the initial
operation of the power circuit, the operation controller
gradually discharges the capacitor using a current source.
Accordingly, during the initial operation of the power circuit,
the gate potential of the limiting transistor gradually
decreases from the supply potential, while the gate-source
voltage of the output transistor gradually increases. As a
result, the generation of the inrush current can be suppressed.

Abstract: Saw blade clamping means (11) are formed by a pressing ball (12)
arranged partially in a receiving space (5) for a saw blade (2), and an
operating ring (13) arranged rotatably round rod-like part (4). The
depth of the receiving space (5) in the clamping direction, is greater
than the thickness of the saw blade (2), so that the blade can be pushed
with its T-shaped outer end (3) along the lower blocking members (6). By
means of a torsion spring (16) the operating ring (13) is biased
relative to rod-like part (4) to a position in which recess (15) is
removed as far as possible from receiving space (5) and ball (12) is
pressed firmly into receiving space (5). In this position a saw blade
(2) present in receiving space (5) is therefore pressed with force
against rear wall (10) and thus fixed by blocking members (6,7). The
rotation movement of operating ring (13) relative to rod-like part (4)
is otherwise limited by co-acting stops (29,30).

IPC: C10G35/12

Abstract: The operation of multistage catalytic hydrocarbon conversion system in which
hydrocarbons flow serially through at least two reaction zones is improved by using
staggered by-passing of a portion of the change to each zone such that the first zone
processes only a first portion of the feed and the second zone processes the
remaining portion of the feed and at least a portion of the effluent from the first zone.
Where three reaction zones are used, processing of the effluent stream from the first
reaction zone is split between the second and third reaction zones so that a portion of
the charge to each zone always is directed around the zone and processed in the next
reaction zone. One portion of the effluent stream is combined with hydrocarbons that
bypassed the first reaction zone, and the combined stream is passed to the second
reaction zone. The other portion of the first reaction zone effluent stream and at least
a portion of the effluent stream of the second reaction zone are passed to the third
reaction zone. This invention is applicable to processes where the first and second
reaction zones are susceptible to pinning in that this invention decreases the mass
flow through the first and second reaction zones while nevertheless maintaining high
hydrocarbon conversion capacity.

Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system includes a selection distribution unit
(SDU) for receiving high speed data. The high speed data is stored in a buffer queue
within the SDU prior to allocation of high speed data resources by a base station
controller. Signaling between the base station controller and the SDU ensures that
high speed data resources are not prematurely released. More particularly, constant
monitoring of high speed data levels within the buffer queue triggers specific signaling
from the SDU to the base station controller to guide the allocation of high speed data
resources.

a solution for (a' 1 , ...,a' n ) and the secret key operation is
applied (130) to transform the solution to the digital
