Abstract: The satellite solar generator structure comprises a plurality of solar panels (PR, PS) each having a plane surface, the panels being disposed in superposition in said structure (ST), the structure including at least one rod (TI) holding said panels (PR, PS) pressed against one another, two successive panels being in contact via bearing points (AL) disposed at the peripheries of the panels. In this structure, spacers (CA) are distributed over the surfaces of the panels (PR, PS) and are disposed between pairs of successive panels in order to improve contact between two successive panels so that the structure presents better mechanical strength during the satellite launch stage. With this arrangement, a fraction of the forces is taken up by the spacers instead of being taken up by the panels, thus making it possible to optimize the solar generator, for example by reducing the weight of the panels constituting it.

Abstract: A synthetic ripple regulator for a DC-DC converter generates an auxiliary voltage waveform that effectively replicates the waveform ripple current through an output inductor, and uses the auxiliary voltage waveform to control toggling of a hysteretic comparator. In a non-limiting implementation, a transconductance amplifier monitors the voltage across the inductor, and supplies an inductor voltage-representative current to a ripple waveform capacitor, so as to produce the auxiliary voltage waveform. Using the replicated inductor current for ripple regulation results in low output ripple, input voltage feed forward, and simplified compensation.

Abstract: A system for automatic feeding of battery poultry has feeders suspended from height adjustable distribution ducts. Two telescopic sections connect each feeder to its distribution duct; an inner section connected to the duct and an outer section connected to the feeder. The telescopic sections have a set amount of rotational freedom as determined by radial stops. Access to the feed is opened by positioning the feeder onto the ground. By adjusting the height of the system different feeding ports are opened. This enables the user to set higher feeding ports for chicks and lower feeding ports for larger birds. The feeding system is thus applicable for a whole cycle of rearing, from chick to final bird. When the grown birds are removed the feeders can be cleaned by water sprays, with the rotational freedom of the mounting enabling a thorough cleaning cycle to be applied.
