Patent EP-0645338-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SPITZER MARTIN
IPC: B66B5/00
Filed: 1994-09-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for reducing the necessary external electrical power rating for lift systems, the electrical power which is required to drive the lift motor being supplied from two electrical power sources. The invention is essentially characterised in that the currents from both the electrical power sources are joined together and added in a device (9) which forms the current sum, on the one hand a constant and previously defined maximum current being drawn from the general mains electrical power supply (1) and the current which is additionally required for acceleration and for operation at the rated rotation speed being drawn from an energy storage device (7) which is charged by a charger (6) which draws primary energy from the general mains electrical power supply (1). In consequence it is possible to reduce the value of the peak current and the external electrical power rating of the lift system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hemodialysis machine includes a chemical treatment system having a source (90) of chemical, and a proportioning pump (66) which pumps a dialysate concentrate in a dialysis mode, and pumps the chemical in a chemical treatment mode used for cleaning the machine. A vent valve (98) is provided for decoupling the chemical source (90) from the pump (66) by coupling an air source to the pump (66) when the machine is not in the chemical treatment mode. This ensures that cleaning chemicals are not inadvertently pumped during the dialysis mode.

Abstract: A power-generating voltage (Va-Vc) outputted from a vehicle synchronous power generator (100) is adjusted to a first voltage (Vref1) for charging a battery (9) under the control of a field current. Further, a leading phase current (ix-iz) that leads a phase voltage (Va-Vc) is supplied to each of multiple armature windings (5a-5c) and the field current is supplied to the field winding (4c), whereby the power-generating voltage (5a-5c) can be adjusted to a second voltage (Vref2) higher than the first power-generating voltage (Vref1). Owing to the above construction, a voltage higher than the normal voltage can be generated by supplying each leading phase current (ix-iz) from the vehicle synchronous power generator (100); hence, power can be supplied to a high-voltage load (10) based on the generated high voltage.

Abstract: A stop range setting circuit (1) sets a stop range of a control object on the basis of a target position signal, and a PBR (6) detects a present position of the control object driven by a motor (5). The comparison circuit (2) compares the present position of the control object with the set stop range, and outputs an out-of-stop range signal (e) and a rotating direction indication signal (f) until the control object reaches the stop range. The out-of-stop range signal (e) is input to a drive start determination circuit (3), and a drive permission signal (g) is output to a drive circuit (4) when the out-of-stop range signal (e) is continuously output for at least a predetermined period of time. The drive circuit (4) drives the motor (5) in a direction indicated by the rotating direction indication signal (f) while the drive permission signal (g) is continuously output, so that an instantaneous ON/OFF signal is not input to the drive circuit (4) in the presence of external noise.

Abstract: An inverter resistance welding control or power supply apparatus includes a clock generator (62) which generates a clock signal defining a switching cycle of an inverter (16) in a resistance welding machine, a device (60) for preselecting a predetermined reference value corresponding to a desired current peak, a current sensor (50) for detecting primary or secondary current of the welding machine, and an inverter control (CPU 40) for controlling the inverter on a switching cycle-by-cycle basis. Specifically, it turns on the inverter in response to a leading edge of the clock signal, and turns it off either when the current detected signal has reached the reference value or when the clock signal has reached a trailing edge. The control apparatus further includes a magnitude evaluator for measuring a magnitude of the current from the detected signal, which magnitude is expressed in root mean square, arithmetic mean or averaged peak value. The control apparatus further includes a reporter monitor for reporting, based on the measured results, information useful to determine normal or defective operation. There may be further provided a lack-of-secondary current detector for operatively and reliably detecting lack of the secondary current by monitoring the primary current.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic imaging contrast agents which exhibit improved blood retention. The novel compounds comprise: a) an image-enhancing (or signal-generating) moiety (IEM); b) a plasma protein binding moiety (PPBM); and c) a blood half-life extending moiety (BHEM). This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using the compounds and compositions for blood half-life extension and contrast enhancement of diagnostic imaging. These contrast agents exhibit reduced rates of both renal and hepatocellular uptake and no apparent uptake by the RE system. The agents may be targeted to the blood pool or any other biological component. Since the agent is lost less rapidly from the bloodstream, lower doses can be used at a higher margin of safety. The approach is general to both large and small molecules.

Abstract: Liquid level is measured within a vessel (14) of predetermined height by directing sonic or ultrasonic energy toward the liquid surface (18) from both above and beneath the liquid surface, receiving energy returned from the liquid surface, and developing first and second signals respectively indicative of headspace above the liquid surface and liquid height within the vessel. These first and second signals are compared to the predetermined vessel height so as to identify apparently erroneous first or second signals indicative of a total liquid height and headspace either greater than or less than the predetermined height of the vessel. Level of liquid in the vessel is then determined as a function of the first and second signals not so identified as apparently erroneous. In this way, false signals caused by turbulence at the liquid surface or an inclined liquid surface are automatically discarded, yielding a more accurate reading of liquid level.

Abstract: A laser diode 11 performs switching operation with a high speed in response to a digital-modulated electric signal inputted in differential input terminals 10a and 10b. At this time, a voltage detecting portion 14 detects a terminal voltage of the laser diode 11. A peak detecting portion 15 detects a peak value of output of the voltage detecting portion 14. A current control portion 16 controls a drive current of the laser diode 11 in accordance with output of the peak detecting portion 15. The current control portion 16 includes a reference voltage generating portion 16a generating reference voltage, and an error detecting portion 16b detecting an error between the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generating portion 16a and the output of the peak detecting portion 15. In accordance with an output signal of the error detecting portion 16b, the drive current of the laser diode 11 is controlled. In this way, it is possible to stabilize light output of the laser diode 11 without using a photodiode for monitoring, and thereby to obtain a light emitting device drive circuit with high reliability at low costs. Further, since the current control portion 16 is divided into the reference voltage generating portion and the error detecting portion, required is to change only the reference voltage generating portion 16a when a light emitting device of a different type is used. Further, the reference voltage generating portion 16a generates reference voltage which follows changes of the terminal voltage of the laser diode 11 with respect to temperature changes under the conditions that light output of the laser diode 11 is kept constant, and thereby it is possible to obtain constant light output in a wide range of temperatures.
