Patent EP-1130751-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KOH KIAN MENG
IPC: H02H9/04
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: The protection circuit comprises a clamping circuit (CL) with a switching element (T21) for reducing a supply voltage (Vcc) in case of a failure, especially in case of an overvoltage condition, and a holding circuit (HO) for providing a holding current for said clamping circuit. With the holding current the switch-off time in case of a failure is extended which avoids therefore an immediate start-up of the power supply when the supply voltage (Vcc) is reduced, and which would lead to a hiccup stage. 
     The clamping circuit (CL) comprises advantageously a threshold circuit D24, R38), which provides a switching voltage (Ue) for the switching element (T21) when the supply voltage (Vcc) reaches an upper voltage limit. The switching element is connected to a charge capacitor (C25) which provides the switching-on voltage for the switching transistor (T20), and by reducing this supply voltage the switching of the switching transistor is disabled. The holding circuit (HO) comprises in particular a capacitor (C37) which is coupled via a resistor (R37) to the clamping circuit (CL), especially to the threshold circuit D24, R38), for providing an additional current also in a failure mode. In a special embodiment the capacitor (C37) of the holding circuit (HO) is connected via a rectifying element (D37) to an auxiliary winding (W2) of the transformer. 
     The protection circuit may be used especially for a switched mode power supply comprising a transformer with a primary winding (W1) and an auxiliary winding (W2), and a switching transistor (T20) which is coupled to said primary winding and which is operating in a flyback mode.

Title: Rod lens array
Inventor: FUKUZAWA TAKASHI

Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: A rod lens array has a construction in which a number of
rod-shaped lens elements are arrayed in at least one row between
two side plates, and the clearances are filled with resin to
form a single integral unit. Two side plates are formed of glass
plates, the surfaces of these two glass plates facing the lens
elements are flat and smooth, the outer surfaces on the opposite
sides are formed with reflection-preventing portions, the side
surfaces of both of the glass plates on the beam-exit side are
formed with beam-shielding zones from the outer edges inwardly
along almost the whole length. The width of the light-tight
zone Ts satisfies the relation; 
Tg > Ts > Tg - Z x D x {2+√3 x (n-1)}/{2x(TC-Z)}, where Tg is
a thickness of the glass plate, D is a diameter of lens element,
Z is a length of lens element, TC is a conjugate length, and
n: number of columns of lens element. The glass plate may be
made thinner instead of providing a light-tight zone.

Abstract: A natural gas having steam and carbon dioxide
added thereto is supplied into a reaction tube (11) of
a reformer (10) provided with the reaction tube (11)
and a combustion radiation section (12) for heating the
reaction tube by combustion of a fuel so as to carry
out a reaction'between the hydrocarbon contained in the
natural gas and the steam added to the natural gas,
thereby forming a synthetic gas containing hydrogen,
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Then, the
synthetic gas is subjected to a reaction in the
presence of a methanol synthesizing catalyst. A crude
methanol obtained is subjected to a gas-liquid
separation. Further, a liquid crude methanol separated
in the separation is distilled. In the particular
methanol manufacturing process, a part of the purge gas
obtained in the separation is recycled into the natural
gas having steam and carbon dioxide added thereto in
advance.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the selective
covalent modification of nucleic acids with redox
active moieties such as transition metal complexes.
Electron donor and electron acceptor moieties are
covalently bound to the ribose-phosphate backbone of
a nucleic acid at predetermined positions. The
resulting complexes represent a series of new
derivatives that are bimolecular templates capable of
transferring electrons over very large distances at
extremely fast rates. These complexes possess unique
structural features which enable the use of an
entirely new class of bioconductors and photoactive
probes.

Abstract: A method for controlling a terminal flow of ink droplets from the
nozzle of an ink jet printer at the end of a printing operation is provided. The
printer has a first heating element disposed on one side of the nozzle that is
selectively actuated to direct ink droplets away from a recording medium and into
an ink gutter during a printing operation. The printer also has a second heating
element disposed on the side of the nozzle opposite from the first heating element.
After the first heating element applies its last operational heat pulse to the
printing nozzle at the end of a printing operation, the second heating element
applies at least one deflection correcting heat pulse of the same duration,
magnitude and period as the last operational heat pumps. The method prevents
ink droplets generated after the end of a printing operation from erroneously
striking the printing medium.
