Title: Ueberspannungsschutzeinrichtung fuer netzgeloeschte stromrichter
Inventor: UHLENHUT GERD
IPC: H02H7/12
Filed: 1979-01-18
Abstract: Ueberspannungsschutzeinrichtung fuer hochinduktive Verbraucher speisende netzgeloeschte Stromrichter, insbesondere Umkehrstromrichter. Eine Ueberspannungsschutzeinrichtung gemaesz Hauptpatent 142832 enthaelt neben netz- und gleichstromseitigen Ueberspannungsschutzelementen einen Entregerkreis aus der Reihenschaltung von Begrenzungswiderstand, Entregegventilanordnung und nichtlinearer Entregerkreisdaempfungsdrossel und ist mit einer Informationsverarbeitung, bestehend aus Impulsgenerator, Wirkdauermeszeinrichtung und Steuerwinkelsteller, versehen. Zur Vermeidung von Betriebsstoerungen bei angeregter Entregerventilansteuerung durch Ueberspannung aus dem Netz, wird durch den Steuerwinkelsteller eine Einstellung der Zuendimpulse fuer die Stromrichterventile entsprechend einer Ausgangsspannung Null eingeleitet, wodurch eine Loeschung des stromfuehrenden Entregerventils eintritt. Wirkungen, die sich insbesondere dynamisch nachteilig bei Stromrichtern mit hohem Nennstrom auf die betriebsmaeszige Entregung im Wechselrichterbetrieb auswirken, erfordern zur Sicherstellung des nichtleitenden Zustandes des stromfuehrenden Entregerventils eine dynamisch angepaszte Einstellung der Steuerwinkelstellung. Das wird durch ein zeitlich begrenztes Signal im Steuerwinkelsteller erreicht, welches eine wechselnde Einstellung der Zuendimpulse mit dem Betrag d um einen Nennwert von 87 Grad elektrisch herum bewirkt.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for digital image (38) downsampling are disclosed
with particular application to computer-graphics imagery. The digital image (38) is
downsampled non-uniformly in a manner that attempts to minimize aliasing of
high-spatial-frequency image information by concentrating deletion paths in lower-spatial-frequency
image regions. A spatial frequency estimator compares groups of
pixels in order to produce a classification of the image. A path generator and path
scorer trace and score potential deletion paths through the image, and the path with
the greatest score (i.e., one that provides minimal distortion and aliasing) is selected
for pixel removal. A recursor repeats this process until a desired number of image
rows and/or columns have been removed.

Abstract: In a plate bonding system for bonding first (A) and
second (B) substrate discs (or other plates) with adhesive (a),
there are provided a first section for bringing the first (A)
and second (B) substrate discs closer to each other with the
interposition of adhesive (a), and a second section for
producing an electric field in the interspace between the
first and second substrate discs. The second section
produces the field and thereby deforms the adhesive into
a tapered shape to minimize the initial contact area and
thereby prevent voids from being involved in the
adhesive.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for improving adherence of metal seed layers
to barrier layers in electrochemical deposition techniques. The method includes depositing
an adhesion layer continuously or semi-continuously without agglomeration onto a barrier
layer prior to depositing a seed layer by controlling the substrate temperature, the chamber
pressure, and/or the power delivered to a deposition chamber. Deposition of the adhesion
layer prevents layer delamination which leads to agglomeration of the deposited layers and
formation of voids in the high aspect ratio features.

Abstract: A self-configuring distributed packet
switch(20) that operates in wavelength division
multiplexed (WDM) and time division multiplexed (TDM)
modes is described. The switch comprises a distributed
channel switching core (26), that includes core
modules (34) which are respectively connected by a
plurality of channels to a plurality of high-capacity
packet switch edge modules (22,24). Each core module
operates independently to schedule paths between edge
modules, and reconfigures the paths in response to
dynamic changes in data traffic loads reported by the
edge modules. Reconfiguration timing between the packet
switch modules and the channel switch core modules is
performed to keep reconfiguration guard time minimized.
The advantage is a high-capacity, load-adaptive, self-configuring
switch that can be distributed to serve a
large geographical area and can be scaled to hundreds of
Tera bits per second to support applications that require
very high bandwidth and a guaranteed quality of service.

Abstract: A switch assembly is adapted for insertion into an aperture formed in an instrument panel. The aperture has opposing edges. The switch assembly includes a body insertable into the aperture and having opposing sides. A base is connected to the body and includes integrally molded first and second retention arms extending therefrom. Each arm has a first end connected to the base and a second end configured to abut against a respective one of the opposing edges to retain the body in the aperture. Each arm has an upstanding rib between the first and second ends facing the respective opposing side of the body. Each rib extends sufficiently from the respective arm to abut the respective opposing side of the body when the second end of the arm abuts the respective opposing edge, thereby increasing the force required to remove the body from the aperture by forming a fulcrum between the first and second ends of the arms. A rotary potentiometer is housed within the body, and a control knob is engaged with the rotary potentiometer. The control knob has first and second integrally molded radial stopper edges. First and second stop portions are integrally molded with the body and engageable with the first and second stopper edges, respectively, for limiting rotary travel of the potentiometer.

Abstract: In a shift register provided with flip-flops that
operate in synchronism with a clock signal, and a switching
means, which is opened and closed in response to an output
of the preceding stage of each of the flip-flops, is
installed. The clock signal is selectively inputted by the
switching means, and the selected clock signal is inverted
and used as a shift register output from each of the stages.
Moreover, two kinds of clock signals, each of which has a
duty ratio of not more than 50 % and which have no overlapped
portions in their low-level periods, are used so as to
prevent the outputs of the shift-register from overlapping
each other. Thus, it is possible to provide a shift register
which is preferably used for a driving circuit of an image
display device, can miniaturize the driving circuit, and
can desirably change the pulse width of the output signal,
and also to provide an image display device using such a
shift register.

Abstract: In a fingerprint sensing system usable as a command interface a user's fingerprint
pattern is recognized and compared to previously stored reference patterns. If the
fingerprint pattern matches a previously stored pattern, the user is permitted to enter
commands via the same interface system. In the case of an automobile, a user may
identify themselves with their fingerprint, and then perform such functions as unlocking
the doors, setting the seat to a selected location, or even pre-starting the car prior to their
entering the automobile. The same devices which perform the fingerprint identification
are also used for input sensing and command recognition to perform various commands.
A user is thus able to control desired functions while being assured that an unauthorized
user will not have access even if they were able to obtain the command interface device.
