Patent EP-1058366-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KLADAR DALIBOR
IPC: H02H9/04
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A surge suppression network for single and multiphase ac systems has a
voltage clamping device connected in series with a gated crowbar device across the
supply voltage in parallel with the load to be protected. A trigger circuit gates the
crowbar device on in response to a specified rate of change of the supply voltage
indicative of a surge. For higher levels of surge current shunting, pluralities of
clamping devices and crowbar devices can be connected in parallel with a single trigger
circuit simultaneously turning on all of the crowbar devices for each phase. For
crowbar devices such as TRIACs with different response characteristics to positive and
negative surges and for unipolar devices such as SCRs, positive and negative
subnetworks are connected in anti-parallel across the load.

Inventor: WUEST JOCHEN
IPC: B25B21/00
Filed: 2000-08-25
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handschrauber, in dessen Abtrieb erfindungsgemäß ein Zwischenglied eingefügt ist, welches bei serienmäßig manuell zu montierenden Verschraubungen ohne Werkzeugwechsel ein rasches Arbeiten, gleichwohl aber ein Soll-Anzugsmoment zuverlässig einzuhalten erlaubt. Die Schrauben werden mit dem Handschrauber rasch eingedreht und bei geringem Moment fixiert. Mittels eines außenseitig am Zwischenglied angesteckten Drehmomentschlüssels kann unmittelbar anschließend das Soll-Anzugsmoment aufgebracht werden. Damit dies möglich ist, ist in dem Zwischenglied eine aus zwei gegensinnig schaltenden Einzelkupllungen gebildete Wechselkupplung vorgersehen, die im Stillstand umschaltbar ist und mit der der Kraftfluß vom Schrauber auf den Drehmomentenschlüssel umschaltbar ist. Dieses Umschalten kann sinnfälliger Weise durch axiales Entlasten seitens des Handschraubers erfolgen. Die drehmoment-übertragenden Teile des Zwischengliedes können an das Gehäuses auch über eine Ratsche angekoppelt werden. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an improved nozzle (7) for use in wear-resistant
rotary atomizers and to atomizer wheels containing said improved nozzles.
Said atomizer wheels and nozzles (7) have the same wear resistance as the ones
described in the prior art or even better, but at the same time, the nozzles (7) have
been improved to provide microspherical particles with a very narrow particle
size distribution. 
     The nozzle (7) of the present invention comprises wear-resistant sintered material
and has a flow channel in the shape of a vertical slot. Said vertical slot may
optionally be uniformly rounded. It was found that when these improved nozzles
are used for spray-drying suspensions, microspherical particles with a narrower
particle size distribution are obtained than when using nozzles (7) with cylindrical
flow channels.

Abstract: The present invention is an efficient and improved dynamic home agent
discovery algorithm and system to be used in a protocol for Internet or network
communications. The present efficient and improved dynamic home agent
discovery algorithm and system for a protocol more efficiently uses the wireless
access, communications resources, and the network resources. If a failure or
error occurs at a home agent (16), the efficient and improved dynamic home
agent discovery algorithm and system provide recovery or backup home agent
services to the mobile node(s) associated or coupled to the failed home agent.
The efficient dynamic home agent discovery algorithm and system encapsulate
and integrate communications of the home agents (16) into a single home agent
communication. Communication between the mobile node (11) and the home
agents (16) is simplified to a single home agent communication. Dynamic home
agent discovery processes are performed based on the single home agent
communication. Encapsulation is achieved by having each of the home agents
(16) maintain a home agent list that contains information about each of the
home agents coupled to the home link. Heart beat messages are used to
communicate the information between each of the home agents (16). A
designated home agent (16) for the home agents receives and processes a
single home agent discovery request from the mobile node (11), and a
designated home agent (16) for the home agents (16) sends home agent
advertisement and communicates and processes a single home agent
discovery request to the mobile node (11).

Abstract: In a coating film transfer tool in which a
transferrable film is carried by a tape base, tape breakage
and non-uniform film application due to twisting are
avoided by providing the tape supply and take-up reels in a
cassette which also includes a fixed transfer head and
mounting shafts. The cassette is disposed in a casing with
its transfer head protruding out of the casing, and with
its mounting shafts supported in bearings in the casing so
that the cassette and transfer head can rotate relative to
the casing. Since the tape cassette is rotatable
integrally with the tape and the transfer head, when the
transfer head is rotated to follow a tape-receiving
surface, the tape does not become twisted.

Abstract: A fuel vapour purging method controls fuel vapour
purging during stratified operation. Several factors
influence vapour purge control, including fuel vapour
concentration in the cylinder and temperature of the
emission control device (70,72). The fuel vapour passes
through the cylinder unburned by maintaining the
concentration within allowable limits. The unburned fuel
vapour reacts exothermically in the emission control device
(70,72) thereby generating heat. To guarantee that the fuel
vapour reacts in the first emission control device, the fuel
vapour purge is restricted to a certain temperature range.
To guarantee that the fuel vapour does not burn in the
cylinder, the concentration is kept to a restricted value.

Abstract: The invention relates to frequency compensation of an amplifier, particularly a
regulator amplifier with a heavy capacitive load and a wide variation of load
current. The value of a compensation resistance is adaptively adjusted as the
function of load current. The amplifier comprises a transconductance amplifier
(12) with a high input impedance and a high output impedance. The transconductance
amplifier (12) is arranged at a buffer stage (11) to the output amplifying
stage (13) with a capacitive input impedance and a high load capacitance
(CLOAD) at the output thereof. The amplifier also comprises a frequency
compensation stage (10) including a compensating capacitance
(CCOMP) and a compensation resistance (MP2-4) connected in series between
the output of the transconductance amplifier and operating voltage
(VDD). The value of said compensation resistance is adaptively adjusted as a
function of load current. The adjustment ratio is selected so that when the
change in load current changes a second dominant pole and thus the position
of a unit gain frequency in frequency domain, then the value of the compensation
resistance and thus the position of the transfer zero also move in the frequency
domain in such a manner that the transfer zero is always at a lower
frequency than the unit gain frequency of the amplifier circuit. This ensures an
adequate phase margin and stability for all load current values, thus avoiding
inconvenient ringing at the output of the amplifier.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un capteur de gaz et son procédé de fabrication. Des capteurs de gaz électrochimiques comprennent en principe un logement extérieur, qui sert de réservoir pour électrolyte, une mèche destinée à maintenir les électrodes mouillées avec l'électrolyte et des terminaux électriques externes pour créer le contact électrique avec les électrodes. Généralement, une membrane de gaz perméable/microporeuse est utilisée pour sceller le capteur de gaz afin d'empêcher les fuites d'électrolyte. Un problème avec les capteurs existants était qu'ils présentaient un risque de fuite à travers la membrane autour de la zone par laquelle les connecteurs électriques passaient. La présente invention surmonte ce problème grâce à un procédé destiné à faire passer un polymère conducteur à travers la membrane dans des conditions de chaleur et de pression contrôlées, assurant ainsi que l'intégrité de la membrane reste intacte, tout en y définissant un passage électroconducteur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes de conversion de puissance magnétiques commutés et résonants simples, multiétage et répartis comprenant des éléments magnétiques non saturés (NSME). Les NSME confèrent une plus grande protection contre les phénomènes transitoires dus à la foudre, une bande passante d'exploitation thermique supérieure, une magnétisation plus efficace, un plus grand potentiel de densité de flux/puissance, et une plus grande flexibilité de facteur de forme, lorsqu'ils sont utilisés avec les stratégies de circuit de l'invention. La tension de sortie est maintenue sensiblement constante et sans ondulations en présence de variations de ligne et de charge, et ce grâce à l'action des diverses stratégies de réaction. Ces mécanismes se combinent pour produire des compensations par réglage de la durée et/ou de la fréquence d'un ou de plusieurs commutateurs. La mise en application d'un nouveau générateur fonctionnel permet de générer un signal en fonction du cheminement du flux magnétique, de la mise en phase de ligne à courant alternatif, et de la réaction de tension de sortie, afin d'obtenir le réglage de la sortie, le rejet actif des ondulations et la correction du facteur de puissance sur la ligne à courant alternatif. On obtient un stockage et un transfert d'énergie efficaces grâce à l'application optimisée des NSME. L'utilisation de techniques de gestion efficaces de rectification de retour du spot permet de protèger les commutateurs et de génèrer une sortie supplémentaire. La mise en application d'un second nouveau générateur permet de générer un signal biphasé en fonction de la fréquence de commutation/facteur de charge et de la tension de sortie, et de procéder au réglage. D'autres résultats efficaces sont obtenus grâce à l'inclusion de circuits tampon de commutation qui réduisent sensiblement les pertes de commutation grâce à un courant d'attaque amorti à vitesse de balayage élevée et à faible impédance primaire au niveau du ou des commutateurs principaux.
