Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft Räder für Güterwagen mit kleinerem und größerem Durchmesser sowie Radsätze mit derartigen Rädern für Laufwerke, die auf starke passive radiale Einstellung im Durchlauf von Kurven angewiesen sind und dabei bei hohen Fahrgeschwindigkeiten trotzdem stabil fahren müssen. Das erfindungsgemäße Radprofil zeichnet sich aufgrund des relativ großen Eingangsradius in den Übergangsbereich von der Lauffläche zum Spurkranz durch eine geringe äquivalente Konizität aus. Damit ist im Geradlauf des Radsatzes ein ruhigeres Fahren möglich. In Bögen ergibt sich aber genügend Laufkreisdifferenz, womit ein verschleißarmes Verhalten einhergeht.

Abstract: A controller for a resonant inverter with a self-oscillating driver IC for powering AC loads, such as gas discharge lamps or regulated DC/DC converters, includes a timing circuit that generates control strobe pulses that are injected into the timing circuit. The timing circuit is coupled to an inverter resonant tank through a feed back circuit providing phase lock for the resonant inverter. The feed back circuit includes a passive phase shifting circuit for 360° closed loop phase shift. Phase controlled strobe pulses automatically adjust IC oscillator frequency for safe and stable inverter operation above resonant frequency. By injecting a small AC or DC control signal into the timing circuit, sync strobe pulse phase angle can be advanced or delayed and thus frequency and power of the phase lock system can be controlled.
