Abstract: The invention relates to a control valve ( 10 ) for controlling the pressure and flow of hydraulic oil from or to the working connections (A, B) of a consumer. The pressure and the pressure flow are controlled by means of at least one sliding piston which can be actuated by at least one drive mechanism and which can be displaced in a slider hole and in co-operating annular channels. The invention is characterized in that the annular channels are symmetrically arranged, whereby a tank connection annular channel is arranged in the symmetrical centre point on a symmetrical axis. Annular channels associated with the working connections (A, B), pump-pressure annular channels, load-sensing annular channels and end-chamber annular channels are arranged behind each other on both sides. According to the invention, the latter can be connected to other channels. The aim of the invention is to create equivalent hydraulic ratios for both working connections A and B and to keep the number of control edges in the control valve to a minimum.

Abstract: A method for determining the rotating position of the drive shaft of a commutated direct current motor by evaluation the current ripple contained in the armature current signal, wherein the metered result of the detected current ripple is corrected when erroneous ripples or double ripples are present. According to the information, determination occurs after detection of a current ripple at a point in time kt t0  at a subsequent point in time or at several subsequent points in time t1...n, the time interval between each subsequent point in time t1...n and the point in time t0 of the previous detection of the current ripple being smaller than the period of the current ripple, whereby the angle of rotation which is set back from the moment t0  of detection of the current ripple is calculated on the basis of actual motor current data and motor characteristic data and, from there, the expected moment in time of the next current ripple detection is calculated. The metered current ripple result is corrected if the expected moment in time resulting from the calculation and the moment of real current ripple detection do not coincide with each other.

Abstract: The invention describes systems and methods to obtain and present imaging data in absolute units. The systems and methods convert relative image data produced by a camera to absolute light intensity data using a compensation factor. The compensation factor accommodates for hardware and specific imaging conditions in the imaging system that variably affect camera output. The present invention determines the compensation factor based on assessing the output of the camera against a known light source for a specific set of imaging conditions in the imaging system. The compensation factor is then stored in memory corresponding to the specific set of imaging conditions. Upon subsequent imaging with the set of imaging conditions, the corresponding compensation factor is called from memory and applied to the camera output. A compensation factor may be determined and stored for each hardware state and imaging condition available to the imaging system.

Abstract: A dual input battery assisted power converter (10) which provides a continuous, regulated DC voltage output to a user-connected mobile device, such as, a laptop computer or a cell phone, for example. The power converter (10) comprises a power supply circuit (12) and a separate, detachable power storage circuit comprising a battery pack (14) having a re-chargeable battery (36). The power supply (12) is adapted to deliver a pair of regulated DC output voltages, of opposite voltage potentials, to a pair of respective output terminals. Preferably these output voltages are derived from two external input voltages: an AC input voltage and a DC input voltage. Advantageously, if both of the external input voltages are temporarily removed, the battery pack (14) will advantageously serve as a substitute DC input power source, thereby allowing the power supply (12) to deliver the same regulated DC output voltage to the user-connected mobile device without interruption. Moreover, once either of the external input voltages are again re-established, the battery pack (14) automatically taps the output terminal of the power supply (12) at a node to recharge the battery pack (14).
