Abstract: The transformer control procedure includes soft switching to control the switches, at an instant when an operating parameter of the switch is naturally annulled. This operating parameter is selected from either the strength of the current passing through the switch, or the voltage across the terminals of the switch to be changed. This minimizes losses occurring during the switching process.  The procedure provides control of a set (2) of magnetically independent transformers (Ti), the set including first and second electric circuits (10,12) connected between the primary and secondary windings of the transformers. Connection is made via controllable switches (Pi, Pi, Si, Si) which are able to connect the windings either in parallel or in series. The procedure includes a stage of executing a process of soft switching to control the switches, at an instant when an operating parameter of the switch is naturally annulled. This operating parameter is selected from either the strength of the current passing through the switch, or the voltage across the terminals of the switch to be changed.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing DNA
nanocages, characterized by comprising a step of
two-dimensionally assembling three types of oligonucleotides
by hybridization to form tridirectionally branched
double-strand DNA having self-complementary chains in the
terminals, and a step of three-dimensionally self-organizing
the resulting tridirectionally branched double-strand DNAs so
as to consume all of the self-complementary terminals. Since
the DNA nanocages according to the invention can easily be formed

Abstract: In a high frequency heating apparatus, a microcomputer inputs the phase signal of a
commercial AC power supply and determines whether a timer switch in a mechanical timer
apparatus is in ON-state to determine whether the high frequency heating apparatus is in a
heating-time set state. If so, the microcomputer turns on a switch that controls the
conduction between the commercial AC power supply and a high voltage transformer at such
a timing that minimizes the rush current in accordance with the phase of the commercial AC
power supply, thereby suppressing the rush current, allowing the user to visually confirm the
remaining heating time, and realizing a cost reduction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit configuration for compensating for the changes in a transfer ratio of a magnetic field sensor arrangement (1a, 1b). According to the invention, a control loop for effecting this compensation is provided in the form of an integrated circuit, whereby the change in the transfer ratio is compensated by means of a control signal variation. This circuit configuration is advantageous in that the control loop having a series connection, which consists of an A/D converter (14), a digital controller (28) and of a D/A converter (17), has a higher precision and a higher controlling speed. A control that is significantly more precise and faster than that of the prior art is achieved by virtue of the fact that only a variable portion of regulating variables (Vd) is fed through the digital controller after which a constant portion of regulating variables (Vb, Is) for the actual regulating variable (Vrx, Ir), which is used for compensating, is added.
