Title: Improvements relating to DC-DC converters
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2009-10-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for control of DC-DC converters, especially in valley current mode. The DC-DC converter is operable so that a low side supply switch may be turned off, before the high side supply switch is turned on. During the period when both switches are off the current loop control remains active and the change in inductor (L) current is emulated. One embodiment uses a current sensor for lossless current sensing and emulates the change in inductor current by holding the value of the output of the current sensor (ISNS) at the time that the low side switch turns off and adding an emulated ramp signal (VISLP) until the inductor current reaches zero. Embodiment employing a pulse-skip mode of operation based on a minimum conduction time are also disclosed. The invention enables a seamless transition from Continuous Conduction Mode the Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Pulse Skipping and provide converters that are efficient at low current loads.

Title: Enzyme electrode using electrolytic oxygen
Inventor: ENFORS SVEN-OLOF
IPC: G01N27/30
Filed: 1981-02-20
Granted: 1984-08-30
Abstract: An enzyme electrode based on an oxygen electrode and an oxygen consuming enzyme is described. The oxygen demand of the electrode is satisfied through an electrolytical oxygen production by means of an anode located close to the enzyme and the sensitive surface of the oxygen electrode. The deviation from a reference value, which could be constant or be formed by the signal from an enzymatically passive oxygen electrode, of the oxygen electrode signal, is used to control the electrolysis current in order to keep the oxygen activity in the enzyme electrode constant. The electrolysis current is used as a measure of the concentration of the substrate of the enzyme.

Title: Beamforming apparatus and method for ultrasonic imaging systems
Inventor: BRANDESTINI MARCO A
IPC: G01S15/89
Filed: 1981-12-08
Granted: 1987-10-01
Abstract: A scanner includes a scan head having a linear array of transducers Xn, and a transmitter 106 which excites the transducers in response to transmit signals TRn from a reference generator 110 so that the transducers emit a plurality of successive bursts of ultrasonic energy, each burst producing a transmitted beam which is steered and focused along a radially-extending scan line. To effect received beam steering and focusing, received signals Sn from the transducers are supplied to a processor 112 along with associated in-phase binary reference signals bn(R) and quadrature binary reference signals bn(I). The received signal is multiplied by a reference signal and the product is integrated for a specific time duration whose time occurrence is used to steer and focus the beam. Processor 112 is responsive to WRITE SELECT, READ SELECT and SAMPLE signals from reference generator 110 to correlate each signal Sn with its associated reference signals during a plurality of successive resolution windows, each of which corresponds to a distinct incremental area along a scan line, so as to provide in-phase and quadrature output signals Re and Im each representing a response of the array to reflections from successive incremental areas along a scan line. Signals Re and Im are combined by processors 114 and 116 to develop output signals A and O representing, respectively, the amplitude and phase of returns from successive incremental areas along a scan line. Information for transmitted and received beam steering and focusing is stored in a phase pattern memory 118A, and extracted therefrom by a controller 118 in a predetermined order and supplied to reference generator 110.

Title: Two-feed pressure swing adsorption process for enhancing the recovery of hydrogen in a feed gas
Inventor: FUDERER ANDRIJA W
IPC: C01B3/50
Filed: 1982-03-08
Granted: 1985-09-26
Abstract: The invention deals with a two-feed pressure swing adsorption process for enhancing the recovery of hydrogen in a feed gas. 
<??>One portion comprising about 30-80% of a hydrogen-containing feed gas having a relatively high carbon dioxide content is preheated to remove a substantial portion of said carbon dioxide therefrom. The thus-preheated stream is passed to a pressure swing adsorption bed from which a purified hydrogen stream is withdrawn. Upon completion of this step, the unpretreated portion of the feed gas is passed to the feed end of the bed, with purified hydrogen continuing to be withdrawn from the bed. In cyclic pressure swing adsorption operations employing such a two-feed process, the recovery of purified hydrogen is enhanced as compared with operations in which none of the feed gas is pretreated for carbon dioxide removal or in which all of the feed gas is so treated for removal of carbon dioxide therefrom.
