Abstract: The invention relates to an installation switchgear (1) with at least one pole current path (2), said switchgear comprising two fixed contact pieces (5, 6) and two mobile contact pieces (8, 9) arranged on a mobile contact bridge (7), forming a pole switch with two contacts and a double break. The contact bridge (7) is acted upon by a pusher (12) in the opening direction (O) and by a contact pressure spring (11) in the closing direction. The two contacts are closed in the connected state, and in the event of a short circuit, the contact bridge is pushed in the opening direction thereof and the pusher is moved into its trigger position in which it acts on the contact bridge in order to open same. Said switchgear is also provided with an electromagnetic tripping device (13), the armature of which releases the latching position of a switch latch (15) in the event of a short-circuit, such that the switch latch maintains the pusher (12) in the trigger position thereof by means of an actuating lever (17) which lags in relation to the pusher (12) and moves from the idle position into the disconnected position thereof. The contact bridge (7) is thereby permanently held open against the force of the contact pressure spring (11). The installation switchgear (1) comprises a control slide (30) mounted in such a way that it can be displaced between a release position and a locking position and, in its locking position, maintains the pusher in the trigger position thereof. The movement of the actuating lever from its idle position into its disconnected position causes the control slide to move from its locking position into its release position such that the pusher (12) is released from the trigger position thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reading a RFID-tag signal in the presence of noise and other propagation and circuit impairments using a RFID-tag reader are disclosed. The method includes receiving with a RFID-tag reader multiple copies of an original RFID-tag signal from a RFID tag. The original RFID-tag signal comprises an original bit sequence representative of information stored in the RFID tag. At least some of the received RFID-tag signal copies differ from one another due to noise or other signal impairments. The received multiple copies are processed on a sample-by-sample basis in the RFID-tag reader using digital signal processing techniques to obtain an improved received digitized RFID tag signal that substantially removes the noise and other impairments. This improved signal is used to recover the original bit sequence and thus the information stored in the RFID tag.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for determining incomplete combustion in a combustion analyser comprising a combustion chamber (60). A sample is supplied to the combustion chamber and combusted to produce combustion products. A target gas characteristic of incomplete combustion of the sample is detected in the combustion products by a target gas sensor (72). The target gas may be carbon monoxide, methane, methanal and/or methanol, among others. Preferably, the gas sensor is an electronic or catalytic combustible gas sensor. Whether incomplete combustion of the sample has occurred may be determined. A signal indicative of incomplete combustion is output from the target gas sensor to a controller (78). The combustion products can be directed to waste and/or further supply of the sample/oxygen may be stopped/adjusted. Faulty analysis measurements and/or contamination of downstream components, which would otherwise result from incomplete combustion - in particular, from soot formation - can thereby be avoided.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a metabolic analyzer incorporating an oxygen analyzer and a NDIR carbon dioxide analyzer in the field that does not require the use of gas cylinders containing gases of known concentration is described. In calibrating the CO 2  detector, at the time of factory setup, the detector output for a gas of a known concentration is measured and stored in the memory of the metabolic analyzer's microprocessor, as is the detector output voltage when the IR source is dimmed by a known percentage. Subsequently, in the field, CO 2  levels in ambient air and cell pressure are measured at two different flow rates through the sample chamber and the IR source is again dimmed by the same percentage as had been used at the time of factory setup. Based upon the resulting readings, both the zeroing and span adjustment factors can be computed.

Abstract: A switching converter controller and method for controlling a switch-mode converter in a hybrid discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)/continuous conduction mode (CCM) mode are disclosed. The hybrid mode involves using double (two) or more switching pulses in a switching period of a control signal for controlling the switch-mode converter. The switching period is defined by a switch on-time duration, a switch off-time duration, and an N number of switching pulses. N is an integer greater than one. An inductor current through the inductor of the switch-mode converter is zero before an initial switching pulse, is zero after a last switching pulse, and is non-zero for all other times within the switching period. The switch-mode-converter controller can be used as a power factor correction controller for a power factor corrector. The switch-mode converter controller can be implemented on a single integrated circuit.
