Abstract: Tantalum powder and solid electrolytic capacitor using
the same are disclosed. Cohered powder or Low CV powder is
added to High CV powder in order to noticeably enhance an
anchor effect during molding and therefore to increase the
mechanical strength of a molding. Further, the addition of
powder cohered beforehand prevents a contraction ratio from
increasing at the time of sintering and thereby prevents the
cavity distribution of an anode body from increasing, so that
the electrical characteristic is improved.

Abstract: It is provided an ATM switch of the present invention
comprising: a detector that detects impairments in signal lines,
and a controller that controls the preservation of paths that
have been established by call control via a signal line when
an impairment has been detected on a signal line by the detector.
When an impairment has occurred only on a signal line, it is
possible to prevent interruptions in communications services
by causing the data line paths to be preserved rather than
released.

Abstract: Switched-mode power supplies having a switching
transistor (T50) and a transformer (L50), with whose
primary winding (W1) the switching transistor is
connected in series, usually require a starting circuit
(R30), which is connected to an input voltage (U0). Since
a current continually flows through the starting circuit
even during normal operation, it is endeavoured to keep
the said current as small as possible. 
     The switched-mode power supply of the invention
contains a threshold value circuit, for example a zener
diode (D44) connected in series with a resistor (R44),
which keeps the driver circuit (T42, T44) turned off
after the switching-on of the switched-mode power supply,
until the operating voltage (UT) for the driver circuit
has exceeded a specific threshold value which is referred
to one end (3; 5) of a winding (W2) on the primary side.
As a result of this, it is possible to charge a charging
capacitor (C30) via the starting circuit (R30) with a low
current, without currents flowing away. The threshold
value circuit (D44, R44) is advantageously connected by
one end to that end (5) of a secondary winding (W2)
which, by means of positive feedback, assists the
activation of the driver stage. 
     Applications emerge in particular for television
sets, video recorders, satellite decoders and set-top
boxes.
