Title: Voltage regulator, power supply and calibrator
IPC: H01H47/32
Filed: 1991-12-20
Abstract: A control circuit for electrical contactors, starters and the like which include one or more pairs of separable main contacts is controlled by an electromagnet assembly 10. In order to reduce, if not eliminate, audible noise generated by the electromagnet assembly, the electrical current to the electromagnetic assembly is regulated to minimize the rate of change of magnetic flux therethrough to thereby reduce, if not eliminate, audible noise. The circuitry is also adapted to compensate for alternating current (AC) magnetic coupling from the main poles in order to provide a relatively larger hold in force when the contacts are to remain in a closed position. Apparatus for calibrating an electrical device is taught. A precision power supply device PCS is interconnected by way of appropriate input channels to the device 10 to be calibrated for supplying a precise accurate calibration variable as an input. A personal computer PC is interlinked by way of a communications network CONI with the apparatus 10 to be calibrated and is also interlinked with the precision supply device so that the personal computer PC has available the exact value of input variable utilized. Upon command, the personal computer PC instructs the device being calibrated to deliver to the personal computer PC those values of input variable which the device being calibrated interprets as the input variable value. The personal computer PC compares this value with the actual value and generates a correction factor which the personal computer PC sends back to the device being calibrated for storage in an EEPROM. A power supply 202 which includes a rectifier input circuit MCR1 which provides either half wave or full wave rectified electrical current at an instantaneous voltage value to the input terminal of a controlled switch MQ3 is taught. The controlled switch is controlled by the combination of a "low voltage reset" device MU6 and a field effects transistor MQ2 combined to form a voltage sensing and switching circuit SSM which is interconnected at its input between the input terminal of the voltage regulator and ground and at its output or reset terminal to the control terminal of the voltage regulator. The output terminal of the voltage regulator is connected to the anode of a diode MCR7, the cathode of which is connected to one side of a storage capacitor MC6.

Patent EP-0745934-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BALK MICHAEL W
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1996-05-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus in a data storage device
(2) of a data storage system (1) under the control of a microprocessor (8) for preventing a
microprocessor stall upon the occurrence of a power failure during read/write operations.
During normal operations, files (9) are written to a first storage area (28) of the data
storage device (2) where a first flag associated with each file (9) is set when the writing of
the respective file (9) has successfully completed, i.e. the file is
tagged. Upon the occurrence of a power failure,
a data storage device initialization routine (20) is commenced upon reboot of the
microprocessor. During initialization, an analysis phase is begun to generate sequences of
events for at least those files (9) not having the first flag set. The events comprise memory
operations and associated data and are each re-executable upon interruption of its
execution and before execution of another event without modifying results of a previous
execution of the respective event. The events generated are then written to an event
storage area (24) in the data storage device (2). During an execution phase of the data
storage device initialization, the events are retrieved and executed by the microprocessor
(8) to cause the files (9) having at least the first flag set to be written in a compacted
manner to storage locations in a second storage area (26) of the memory device (2) to
maintain the integrity of those files (9). Subsequently, the first storage area (28) of the
memory device (2) is erased to provide additional storage space for the writing of new
files to the memory device (2). If a power failure or system failure occurs during the two-phase
initialization process, the process is re-started generally at the point where it was
interrupted so as not to leave the data storage device (2) in a partially compacted, and
hence, a potentially inconsistent state.

Abstract: In summary, the present invention is a distributed computer system having a
plurality of end user terminals and a plurality of loosely coupled server
computers that share no resources with each other. A multiplicity of user
application processes are distributed over the server computers. A
communication interface or router transmits data between the end user
terminals and a transaction router process, which executes on one of the
server computers. The transaction router process initiates execution of
transactions by ones of the user application processes based on data
received from the end user terminals. A link manager process selects
application processes to execute the applications based on computational
load distribution criteria, so as to distribute computational load as evenly as
possible over the server computers, thereby maximizing the throughput and
responsiveness of the system. A file system, located on at least one of said
server computers, provides access to stored files and database tables to all
of the user application processes without regard to which server computer
each such user application processes is executed on. The transaction
router process includes a data structure for indicating transactions waiting to
start and for initiating execution of ones of the waiting transactions by ones
of the user application processes when associated start criteria are satisfied
and user transaction processes are available.

Abstract: Apparatus (10,100) and a method for measuring the
thickness of a film (15) having top and bottom surfaces
provides a low coherence light source (12) that generates a
probe light signal. The film (15) is positioned between first
and second reference reflectors, the first reference
reflector being partially reflecting. The probe light signal
is applied to the film (15) after passing through the first
reference reflector. Part of the portion of the probe light
signal leaving the film (15) is reflected back toward the
first reference reflector by the second reference reflector.
The light exiting through the first reference reflector is
collected to form the input to a receiver (18) that
determines the time delay between light reflected from the
top and bottom surfaces of the film (15) as well as the
change in optical path length between said first and second
reflector (25,26) resulting from the introduction of said
film (15) between said first and second reflector (25,26).
In the preferred embodiment the receiver (18) is constructed
from an optical autocorrelator or an optical spectrum
analyzer that includes circuitry for providing the Fourier
transform of the frequency domain spectrum measured from the
combined light signal. Embodiments in which only one of the
reference reflectors is utilized provide a means for
simplifying the output spectrum from the receiver (18) when
multi-layer films (15) are utilized.

IPC: G02F1/01

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an optical
transmitter which enables the reduction of the strong dependency of
the transmission characteristic on the high-speed polarization scrambler
driving signal phase. The light outputted from a light source is
converted to a RZ pulse by an electro-absorption modulator. The RZ
pulse is modulated by a data modulator, and the polarization thereof
is scrambled in a high-speed electro-optic polarization scrambler and
outputted from the output terminal thereof. Since, in the present
invention, the light is once changed to a RZ pulse, the strong
dependency of the optical signal transmission characteristic on the
high-speed polarization scrambler driving signal phase can be reduced.
Further, if the phase of the RZ pulse in the NRZ modulation signal is
made to synchronize with the rising edge or the falling edge of the NRZ
signal, the dependency on the high-speed polarization scrambler driving
signal phase can be further reduced.

Abstract: An electric, electromagnetic or acoustic signal between a transmitter and a receiver is measured. The transmitter provides pulsed signals which are received at the receiver end as rising and falling wave packets with several oscillations. The received signal is compared with a first predetermined threshold voltage and compared with a second threshold voltage using a second comparator. The second threshold voltage is approximately equal to the dc component. The first comparator is switched near the beginning of a positive or negative half wave of the received signal to provide a stop signal for a run time counter regardless of whether the first threshold voltage is greater than the second or less than the second threshold voltage.
