Filed: 1993-04-24
Abstract: It is the object to create a vertical deflection circuit which, in particular, is suitable for symmetric deflection by means of a sinusoidal deflection current and a freely oscillating horizontal deflection circuit not synchronised by the input signal. A vertical pulse derived from the received signal and a horizontal pulse (H<*>) derived from the horizontal deflection circuit are applied to the synchronising inputs of the vertical deflection circuit in such a manner that the vertical deflection in each case begins with the first horizontal pulse after an edge of the vertical pulse (V) derived from the received signal and ends in a waiting position preceeding the next vertical pulse (V). Particularly for television receivers with a symmetric, freely oscillating horizontal deflection which is not synchronised by the input signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transmission control circuit for use in a TDMA communication device controls the rise and fall characteristics of driving voltages applied to high-frequency amplifier circuits in such a way that the generation of unnecessary waves at the time of transmission can be restrained to a minimum, wherein a driving voltage ON/OFF circuit B1 outputs first and second driving voltages S1 and S2 having different rise and fall time constants, the first driving voltage S1 being supplied to a first high-frequency amplifier circuit A1, and the second driving voltage S2 to a second high-frequency amplifier circuit.

Patent EP-0605057-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MARINUS ANTONIUS ADRIANUS M
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1993-12-24
Abstract: In switched-mode power supply circuits the switch is rendered conducting for a longer period (or more frequently), dependent on the load connected to the power supply circuit, so as to ensure that the transformer can transfer enough energy to the secondary side for charging the output capacitor to a sufficient extent. To ensure that the transformer can always supply all energy stored in the transformer to the secondary side, a demagnetizing detection circuit detects the demagnetization of the transformer. If the load decreases (for example, in standby operation) the on-time of the switch is reduced. 
     However, this on-time may achieve a minimum value so that the power supply circuit no longer functions properly. To obtain an efficiently operating power supply circuit, both in normal operation and in a low-load state, the control circuit of the power supply circuit has at least two modes,  i . e . a first mode (standby operation) in which the control pulses are applied to the switch at a fixed frequency and the demagnetizing signal has no influence, and a second mode (normal operation) at a variable frequency, in which second mode the frequency of the control pulses is variable and, if necessary, the demagnetizing signal can delay the control pulses applied to the switch when the transformer is not fully demagnetized yet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an updating method for an additional automation system (2'), which is intended to be coupled to an initial automation system (2), the initial automation system (2) controlling a technical installation (1). Until now, the program processing by the initial automation system (2) was interrupted for this purpose, the updating carried out and then the program processing continued once again by both automation systems (2, 2'). In the case of the present invention, on the other hand, the updating is carried out without an updating shock. One possibility consists in waiting for a non-time-critical installation condition and then carrying out the updating. A further implementation of the invention consists in scattering the updating in small time slices in the program processing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The gas burner has an injector (3) and a gas nozzle (4) arranged in front of the injector, the gas nozzle being provided with a main nozzle bore (5) and a subsidiary nozzle bore (6). Both nozzle bores are directed towards the injector, but the subsidiary nozzle bore at an angle ( alpha ) in relation to the injector axis. The main nozzle bore (5) is assigned a closure element (7) which closes the main nozzle bore when the burner is to be run at reduced output. Given a constant gas pressure, a reduced quantity of gas then flows out of the subsidiary nozzle bore (6), the pulse which is still high being compensated for by the inclination of this nozzle bore. This limits the rise of the air ratio in the case of a reduction in the output. Clocking of the closure element (7) enables the setting of intermediate output stages. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a piezoelectric transformer is disclosed. A transformer driver (12) supplies the transformer with a driving voltage the frequency of which is controlled by a frequency oscillator (18). A load current monitor (20, 22, 24, 26) observes a load current flowing through a load such as a fluorescent which is powered by said transformer. A frequency sweep controller (16) controls the frequency oscillator, when the transformer is initially energized, so as to execute a downward frequency sweep wherein the frequency of the driving voltage is swept from a predetermined upper frequency to a predetermined lower frequency. The frequency sweep controller further controls the frequency oscillator, after the transformer has been brought into stable operation, so as to execute the downward frequency sweep when the load current reduces to a second preset level lower than the first preset level.

Codes representing topological, vector dimension features and the microfeatures of the character are extracted from the character, then the features of the character are compared with a set of reference features corresponding thereto stored in a memory. Each of the set of reference characters corresponding with a specific script written character. A logic process is then performed to determine which of the set of reference features most closely corresponds to the topological features of the digitized character thereby identifying the script written character. The relative weighting of the feature can be varied for different types of script or confusing characters to enable still more accurate recognition.
