Abstract: Procédé et dispositif pour fabriquer un premier corps (8) ayant des propriétés magnétostrictives et un second corps (6) contre lequel le premier corps est en contact d'appui avec une certaine prise entre les surfaces de contact, pour qu'ils se déplacent l'un par rapport à l'autre tout en conservant sensiblement ladite prise. Selon l'invention, un champ magnétique est créé pour influencer séquentiellement uniquement l'une des sections partielles adjacentes dudit corps magnétostrictif (8), en commençant depuis l'extrémité intérieure du corps vu dans la direction voulue de placement. Le champ magnétique est ajusté de sorte que la section partiale respective sous l'influence du champ magnétique subisse un accroissement de longueur, en même temps qu'elle est soumise à une contraction dans la direction transversale, contraction qui est suffisamment importante pour réduire et de préférence éliminer la prise entre les corps. Le dispositif comprend une tige (8) en matériau magnétostrictif qui est assujetti dans un corps tubulaire (6) et dont une extrémité est fixée à une structure de support rigide. La tige magnétostrictive (8) est connectée à une barre, un organe de liaison, etc. dont l'extrémité opposée est reliée à l'élément à actionner par le mouvement de la tige logée dans le corps tubulaire (6).

Title: Envelope amplifier
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 1988-05-06
Granted: 1993-03-24
Abstract: A high efficiency envelope amplifier (20) is disclosed. The invention includes a power supply (24), a comparator (60), and several switches (26-38). The power supply (24) is capable of providing multiple outputs. The comparator (60) measures the amplitude of an input signal against one of several threshold levels. When the input signal is within a predetermined range, a selected power supply output is switched onto the output path. Since the present invention incrementally switches small amounts of power, switching losses are substantially mitigated.

Abstract: Starting with a circuit arrangement for executing maintenance operations by means of a maintenance processor (SVP), which is selectively connected via an interface adapter (SIA) to one of several functional units (FUj) of a data processing system and comprising registers (ARPS, PSREGn) which are provided in the functional unit (FUj) and which can be switched to series mode and which can be inserted into the serial data path (DTOSVP/DFRSVP) of the maintenance processor (SVP), the possibility also exists for the microcommand-controlled functional unit (FUj) to execute control operations which have previously only been carried out by the maintenance processor (SVP). By simulating the control signals (SGS) and control commands (COM), normally supplied by the maintenance processor (SVP), in the execution of corresponding microcommands and forwarding the simulated signals (SF and MC) to the functional unit (FUj), the latter can provide for itself, if necessary, access to data from registers, for example the purely serial shift registers (SREG1) to which there was no previous access. In this arrangement, all serial registers (SREG1...PSREGn) can be inserted into the serial data path or can be switched in series with a parallel register (ARPS) which can be switched to series mode, so that the data contained in all serial registers can be exchanged via a parallel line system (PBUS) of the functional unit (FUj). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A programmable low voltage compressor circuit suitable for use with hearing aids is described. The compressor has a continuously variable compression ratio wherein the gain of the compressor may be programmably controlled over a wide range and the compressor may be powered from a power source as low as 1.1 volt. The compressor employs a variolosser wherein the gain is controlled by the ratio of the currents flowing out of first and second control terminals. A control circuit coupled to the variolosser controls the magnitude of the currents flowing out of the two control terminals. The control circuit includes a peak detector which generates a signal related to the peak positive envelope of the signal input to the compressor. A voltage to current converter is coupled to the peak detector for increasing the magnitude of the current flowing out of one of the control terminals of the variolosser as the voltage output of the peak detector increases. Furthermore, the gain and compression ratio of the compressor over a wide range is programmably controllable.

Abstract: Chlorine-resistant semipermeable membranes which comprise an interfacial polymerized reaction product composite on a porous support backing material may be prepared by contacting a porous support material such as polysulfone with an aqueous solution of an aromatic polyamine, said aqueous solution containing a polyhydric compound and an acid acceptor. The coated support material is then contacted with an organic solvent solution of an aromatic polycarboxylic acid halide for a period of time sufficient to form an interfacial polymerized reaction product on the surface of the support material. The resulting composite is then post treated by washing with an alkaline compound, leaching with sodium bisulfite and treating the leached composite with a polyhydric compound. The resultant membrane composite may be used in separation processes such as the desalination of brackish or sea water, trhe membrane being resistant to attack by chlorine which is present in the water.
