Abstract: A system for driving a load is disclosed comprising a programmable power supply for metering power directly to the load and a regulating element connected to the load and parallel with the programmable power supply for shunting excess power from the programmable power supply in response to a control signal in order to waveshape the power signal to the load. Sensing means are provided for sensing the power demands of the load and generating a control signal which is received by the programmable power supply. In response to the control signal, the programmable power supply meters more or less power to the load so that the power delivered directly to the load by the power supply approximately follows the power demand of the load as determined by the control signal. The power delivered by the programmable power supply is always in excess of the power demanded by it so that the regulating element continuously shunts power away from the load in accordance with the control signal in order to waveshape the power signal so as to provide a high fidelity signal to the load.

Abstract: A stereoscopic viewer (10) comprises a housing (32) having an advancing plate (90) for supporting and advancing a disc-shaped carrying card (14) for stereo images which are viewed through a pair of eyepieces (16R, 16L) in the housing. A trigger (156) oscillates the plate to incrementally rotate the card and position sequential pairs of images in the viewing axis of the eyepieces. The trigger includes a depressible actuator vertically projecting through a top surface (80) of the viewer, as it is held for viewing. The trigger comprises a cylindrical actuator portion (158) projecting through the top surface of the housing, and a leg (162) depending from the actuator portion which engages the advancing plate (90) to oscillate it as the trigger is depressed. As the plate oscillates in a forward direction, a flat front face (146) of a pawl (144) on the plate engages a radial slot (26) on the disc to rotate it. The pawl is slightly inclined in the direction of advance of the card to help hold the card flat against the plate during incremental advancement. A rear element (36) of the viewer is completely translucent to allow a greater amount of light into the interior of the housing and permit viewing of the mechanical actuation of the viewer.

Abstract: The invention proposes a slip control circuit (13) which compares the actual differential speed formed from the input speed and the output speed of a friction clutch (5) of a motor vehicle with a desired differential speed and adjusts a positioning drive (7) of the clutch (5) in accordance with the desired differential speed. To increase accuracy of control, a desired position signal from a clutch characteristic memory (25) is superimposed additively, as a disturbance variable, on the desired position signal s' calculated by a controller (19) of the slip control circuit (13). The clutch characteristic memory (25) stores the desired position signal s'' as a function of the clutch torque transmissible in this position and is addressed in accordance with the instantaneous engine torque, for example that determined via an engine map (27). In the event of a load change on the engine (1), the clutch (5) is adjusted to the torque to be expected before any significant change in the actual differential speed occurs. The controller (19) has an integrating controller property, with the result that the integral component of the desired signal s' is zero given correct dimensioning of the clutch characteristic stored in the clutch characteristic memory 25. A correction device (33) permits a stepwise correction of the characteristic as a function of the magnitude of the integral component. <IMAGE>
