Abstract: The invention concerns switched mode power supplies, and a current mode control circuit for such a power supply. In one of the described embodiments of the present invention, instead of employing a sense resistor directly in the primary circuit, line voltage and primary current are emulated by means of an auxiliary winding (130) on the primary side. Current flowing in a resistor (R1) is buffered by means of first and second current mirrors (312, 313) to provide a voltage varying over time at an input of a pulse width modulator (322). This voltage is utilized to provide current mode controlled operation of the switch mode power supply.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a piezoelectric motor having a stator in the form of a hollow-cylindrical oscillator, the at least one front side of which has frictional contact with a rotor and which comprises standing wave generators. According to the invention the hollow cylinder is set into a coupled tangential-axial oscillation mode so that the cylinder mainly has tangential and axial oscillatory components. The oscillatory speed maximums of the tangential components are formed on the front sides of the hollow cylinder and those of the axial components directly underneath thereof, wherein the components decrease towards the center of the cylinder height and, in the center of the cylinder height, substantially parallel to the front sides, a nodal line is formed on which the axial oscillatory component adopts the value zero and the tangential components adopt a minimum. With a motor operated in such a manner the kinetic drive energy for the rotor is concentrated in the proximity of the front sides of the hollow cylinder, wherein a mechanical attachment for the motor can be arranged in the central portion on the zero line of the oscillatory speed components.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reading passive tags affixed to objects to be identified and tracked by a radio frequency identification system are disclosed. An interrogating station sends radio-frequency inquiry signals toward the passive tags through an antenna array and receives the response signals from the tags through the same array. Electronic circuitry for processing such response signals has a phase conjugator submitting each received signal to phase conjugation, and the phase-conjugated signals are back transmitted to the passive tags. Retrodirectivity of the antenna array obtained through the phase conjugation allows a precise object identification and tracking also at relatively long distances.
