Abstract: In an RFID reader/writer (50), a transmitted signal generation unit (1) generates a carrier wave formed by circular polarization. A first antenna (6A) transmits and receives a polarized wave of a first polarization component. A second antenna (6B) transmits and receives a polarized wave of a second polarization component orthogonal to the first polarization component. When a signal analysis unit (9A, 9B) receives a reflected wave from a plurality of tags for the carrier waves by the first and second antennas (6A, 6B), the unit (9A, 9B) analyzes the first and second polarization components contained in the reflected wave. Based on the analysis result of the signal analysis unit (9A, 9B), electric power to be transmitted from the first and second antennas (6A, 6B) is set to control the polarized wave of a transmission wave to be transmitted with a command to a plurality of tags.

Abstract: Current sensing resistors are connected directly to output terminals of MOSFETs forming the series switching stage of a PWM sinewave dimmer. An analog sensed current signal is coupled through an EMI resistant current link to comparators that provide an overcurrent indication in response to an overcurrent condition. A logic circuit overrides PWM control signals from a programmable controller, and operates drivers to render the series switching stage nonconductive and to render a clamp switching stage conductive until after the end of the current PWM duty cycle power on segment. The logic circuit sends an overcurrent signal through an optocoupler to an input of the programmable controller. The input of the controller is polled at a clock frequency for overcurrent signals and if the count exceeds a limit in any half cycle, or a maximum sum in sixteen half cycles of the AC supply, the series switching stage is rendered nonconductive and the clamp switching stage is rendered conductive pending a reset signal.

Abstract: The valve housing(2) has one flow path from a first connector(3) for a melt supply via a melt channel to a first granulator connector(5). A second flow path runs between a second melt supply connector(4) and a second granulator connector(6) via a separate, second melt channel. The first and/or second melt channels have a start-up flow diverting valve. In the production position the valve opens a connection between the first melt supply connector(3) and the first granulator connection(5) and/or a connection between the second melt supply connector(4) and the second granulator connection(6). In the start-up position the valve closes the link between the first granulator connection and first melt supply connector and/or the link between the second granulator connector and the second melt supply connector and/or connects the second melt connector to a by-pass opening for dumping melt. Start-up diverting valves for both the first and second melt channels are connected to each other and operated by a common actuator so that both valves can be simultaneously set their production or start-up position. Both valves are in a common valve body. In a design variation the second granulator connector may be linked to a melt channel and a diverting valve connects the first melt supply connector to either the first or second granulator connector. In the latter design a third granulator connector connects with the melt channel and is linked to the melt supply connector by the diverting valve. The start-up diverting valve has a cylindrical body with separate production flow channels and moves axially between the different positions. One or more by-pass channels are incorporated in a valve body. Quick release couplings link the melt supply and granulator connectors to a melt source and granulator.
