Inventor: NORTH JOHN HERBERT
IPC: B04C5/103
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: Apparatus is described for separating particulate material from an airstream established by sucton. The apparatus comprises a primary separation chamber (12) in which particles are separated from the airstream therein by centrifugal force, a main particle collecting region (14) into which the particles separated by the primary separation (12) can fall under gravity, and a secondary separation chamber (90) downstream of the primary chamber (12), to which air and particles not separated in the first chamber (12), pass. An air outlet in the secondary chamber allows air substantially free of particles to exit. An intermediate particle collecting region is associated with the secondary chamber (90), in which particles collect after separation by centrifugal force from the air flowing through the secondary chamber (90). A valve (41) is provided between the intermediate particle collecting region and a second particle collecting region, which is closed while air flows through the apparatus but which is opened when airflow ceases, to allow particles in the intermediate region to pass into the second region. The second collecting region may be separate from the main particle collecting region (14), or may comprise the second particle collecting region. The valve (41) may be operable manually, electrically, or in response to the flow of air through the apparatus so as to become closed when the air flow reaches and exceeds a given rate of flow, and opens when air fluid flow falls below a given rate of flow. A baffle may be provided downstream of the valve to reduce the tendency for material beyond the valve to be sucked back through the valve while the air flow is being established. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Proceeding from conventional switched-mode power supply topologies showing a
resonant converter stage combined with a preceding boost converter stage for
power factor correction and/or for generation of a second output voltage, the
present design describes a new topology of a switched-mode power supply with
integrated boost means. The present switched-mode power supply comprises a
boost means (1) for transforming a rectified AC input voltage (U in ) in a primary
regulated output voltage (U pri ) and/or for use as a power factor correction circuit
and a resonant converter means (2) for generating a secondary regulated output
voltage (U out ). Whereas in conventional two-stage switched-mode power supplies
the two stages are operating substantially independently, in the present design
the boost means (1) is coupled by a coupling network (10) to the resonant
converter means, enabling controlling of the boost means (1) by control means
(IC, Sres) of the resonant converter means (2), reducing thereby circuit
complexity, switching losses and EMI-emission.
