Abstract: The invention concerns a method for supporting the roll mantle of a roll for a paper machine or equivalent in the lateral direction, in particular in the direction transverse to the principal loading direction, such as the nip plane (NP). In the method, the roll mantle (12) is supported on a stationary roll axle (11) revolvingly and as displaceable in relation to the axle (11) substantially in the principal loading direction. According to the invention, the roll mantle (12) is supported on the roll axle (11) radially by means of glide bearing elements (15, 15a) acting in opposite directions in the lateral direction so that, when the roll mantle (12) is displaced in the principal loading direction (NP), the movement of the roll mantle (12) is guided to take place along a desired curve. The invention also concerns an equipment for supporting the roll mantle.

Abstract: An air conditioning device is arranged such that an output voltage from a commercial power source is converted into a direct current by a rectifying circuit and a smoothing condenser, and thereafter, it is further converted into an AC voltage having a variable frequency by an inverter under the control of a microcomputer, thereby supplying it to a power compressor. Between the rectifying circuit and the smoothing condenser, provided is an active filter for shaping an input current to be an approximate sine wave almost in phase with an input voltage by switching a power transistor. The switching control section and the microcomputer for controlling the switching are activated independently by separately provided power sources. The switching control section supplies a high level signal when the active filter is a normal condition, while supplies a low level signal when the active filter is abnormal. A circuit which generates a low level signal when the power supply to the switching control section is shut off is provided. This enables the microcomputer to determine the occurrence of abnormality in the active filter or the switching control section even when the power supply is shut off.

Abstract: A gerotor motor of the valve-in-star type in which the star (27) is disposed adjacent a stationary valve plate (15). The stationary valve plate (15) defines a plurality N+1 of stationary ports (65) in communication with the inlet port (55). The gerotor star (27) defines a plurality N of fluid ports (51) each including a radially inner portion (53). The inner portions 53 and the stationary port (65) are in commutating fluid communication as the star (27) orbits and rotates, in accordance with an important aspect of the invention. As a result, the star member (27) is exposed to a smaller area of pressurized fluid at the stationary valve plate (15), thus making it possible to achieve more consistent overbalance of the star, for either direction of rotation. This results in substantially improved overall efficiency of the motor.

Abstract: Video data coded in a coding device 12 is temporarily stored in a temporary buffer 13 before transmitted to a transmission buffer 171. A frame dropping/quantization control device 16 cancels the video data in the temporary buffer 13 if the amount of information of the video frame stored in the temporary buffer 13 is larger than a predetermined threshold, and further, sets a quantization step size with a quantization step size larger than the quantization step size used to code the video frame stored in the temporary buffer 13 and outputs it to the coding device 12. This suppresses the transmission delay time even when the amount of generated information rapidly increases due to a sudden motion of an object or when the communication conditions change, which allows display of a moving picture with smooth motion

Abstract: A current source for generating a current that is relatively stable over variations in the power supply voltage and temperature, and over variations in process parameters is disclosed. The current source includes a bias circuit, for producing a compensating bias voltage, and a current mirror. The bias circuit utilizes a voltage divider to generate a divided voltage based on the power supply value. The divided voltage is applied to the gate of a modulating transistor (biased in saturation) in a first current mirror, which controls a current applied to a linear load device. The voltage across the load device determines the bias voltage, which is in turn applied to the gate of a transistor in the reference leg of a second current mirror. The bias voltage controls the current in the reference leg of the second current mirror, and an output leg mirrors the second reference current to produce a stable output current.

Abstract: A method in a projector in which in order to project a clear picture onto a screen without the occurrence of the keystoning, an asymmetrical picture is pre-compensated, is disclosed. In the method for pre-compensating an asymmetrical picture in a projector, when the projection lens of the projector is arranged at an upward or a downward projection angle, regardless of the projection angle, a trapezoidal error of the picture projected onto the screen is pre-compensated in response to the projection angle setting signal from the projection angle setting section, so the picture is normally projected onto the screen. Then, in adjacent compensation blocks of the asymmetrical picture, the position coordinates of deleted pixels are differently determined by a predetermined position transformation function, and thereby the original picture is reproduced with high-fidelity. When pre-compensating the trapezoidal error of an asymmetrical picture, the performance and the structural flexibility of the hardware in the projector are enhanced by using digital circuits and computer software. Therefore, the conventional construction and/or operation of a projector need not be altered.

Abstract: A frequency-lock indicator circuit is disclosed that compares first and second clock signals and indicates when the signals have the same frequencies for a consecutive number of times. The circuit includes a Frequency-Only Detector (FOD) which is immune to phase differences. The frequencies of the clock signals are compared through counters that will reset each other if a consecutive number of frequencies from the clock signals do not occur at the same time. Then, when a consecutive number of equal frequencies has occurred, a first pulse signal is generated, which in turn produces a lock indication signal, indicating that the first clock signal has the same frequency as the second clock signal, regardless of whether or not the phases of the clock signals are equal. The lock indicator circuit can be used in any PLL circuit regardless of the specific Frequency/Phase Detector used. The circuit can also be used in any application or circuit where two clocks need to be tracked. In addition, the FOD includes a loss of input clock feature that indicates if the input clock is lost.

Abstract: A first intermediate direct voltage is generated from a current source or on-board voltage, and a second sinusoidal intermediate alternating voltage is generated with a current inverter. This intermediate alternating voltage is transformed by one or more transfer systems to the various triggering and maintaining voltages of different cold cathode discharge lamps. Frequency-synchronous dimming is regulated by the pulse-pause ratio of a pulse group regulator in a broad frame by optically commanded triacs which are triggered in the zero crossing. The preconditions for the starting and maintenance characteristics of the lamps are thus always ensured.
