Inventor: WALTERS MICHAEL
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: A multi-phase DC/DC converter having an output voltage and including a plurality of
converter channels. Each converter channel includes a converter channel input and a converter
channel output. Each converter channel is configured for generating a converter channel
current and for adjusting said converter channel current in response to a control signal
electrically connected to each converter channel input. A control circuit generates an error signal
representative of a comparison of the converter output voltage to a reference voltage. The
control circuit includes a plurality of control circuit channels, each of which correspond to a
converter channel. Each control circuit channel generates a channel current signal
representative of a corresponding converter channel current, and generates a differential
channel current signal representative of a comparison of the channel current signal to an
average current signal. The average current signal is representative of an overall average
current for the converter channels. Each control circuit channel generates a differential error
signal representative of a comparison of the error signal to the differential channel current
signal. Each control circuit channel includes a pulse width modulator having a ramp input and
a control input. The control input is electrically connected to the differential error signal.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine (2) includes a combustion main chamber (12) into which
opens one end of an upstream combustion pre-chamber (10) having a burner
face (20) at its opposite end. A swirler assembly (8) has a plurality of generally
tangentially extending swirler vanes (14) circumferentially spaced by passages
(16) disposed about a centre and along which combustion air follows radially
inward paths into the pre-chamber (10). Each passage (14) is provided with a
respective liquid fuel injection nozzle (26) including an electrode to be
electrostatically charged so each injection nozzle can impart electrostatic
charge to droplets of fuel emerging from the nozzles to travel with the
combustion air into the pre-chamber (10). Walls of the passages (16) comprise
electrodes which can be charged to the same polarity as the charged fuel.
The burner face is preferably formed of two or three electrodes, one being a
central electrode (42) at opposite plurality to the charge on the fuel and at
least one other electrode (44) surrounding the central electrode and at the
same polarity as the charge on the fuel. The pre-chamber (10) has a wall (38)
also forming an electrode which may be charged at the same polarity as the
charge on the fuel droplets. The disposition of the electrostatic charge in
the apparatus promotes fuel atomising and keeps the fuel off the walls of
passage (16) and off the burner face (20) whilst attracting or biasing the fuel
towards the centre of the burner face and pushes the fuel toward the centre
of the pre-chamber (10). The electrostatic field is indicated at (54) and a fuel
placement position or envelope demarcating the resulting fuel placement is
indicated at (56).

Title: Stress sensor based on periodically inserted color-changing tactile films to detect mishandling fiber optic cables
Inventor: ROSSI MIKE
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2001-12-04
Abstract: The present invention is a fiber optic cable which uses pressure sensitive films or
tactile films in order to detect areas on a fiber optic cable where excessive loads have been
applied or experienced. A plurality of strips of tactile film or
pressure sensitive film (35) are inserted, at regular intervals, throughout the fiber optic cable
structure in a fashion similar to that of swellable tape (34). The films
are located between the buffer tube(s) (32) and the outer
jacket (36) of the cable or between the fibers and the outer jacket of the cable. This
intermittent use decreases the overall cost and weight of the cable, over using a continuous
length of tactile film. It is also desirable to have the tactile or
pressure sensitive film with corrugated folds along the width of the film. This corrugation
provides a much higher sensitivity to loads experienced by the cables due to more
"aggressive" deformation of the film during buckling.

Abstract: A method of authorizing a key or lock device comprises the following steps: a first user device and a first system device used in a first level of a lock system, such as at a manufacturer, are created. A first encryption key is stored in the first user device and the first system device. When the user device is to be shipped to a second level of the lock system, such as a locksmith, an authentication process is carried out between the first user device and the first system device using the first encryption key stored therein. In case the authentication process was successful, a software operation is carried out by the first system device, by which the first encryption key stored in the first user device is replaced by a second encryption key. This second encryption key is stored in second system and user devices used in the second level of the lock system, thereby making the first user device operable with the second system and user devices. This prevents unauthorized use of keys and locks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigeration device (10) comprising a storage compartment (22) which is mounted on rollers and can be pulled out of the housing (11) of the refrigeration device. The problem with known refrigeration devices (10) is that the storage compartment (22), after being pulled out approximately halfway, opens independently to its full extent, colliding audibly with an end stop. To prevent an inadequacy of this type, the invention is characterized in that the guide tracks (35) are configured as two oblique planes (36) of differing lengths that are interconnected, whereby the longer oblique plane causes the storage compartment to close independently.
