Patent EP-0555075-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHANG RAY
IPC: H03K19/00
Filed: 1993-02-03
Abstract: A low power level converter (20), for converting from one logic level to another, includes six transistors (21 - 26). Two transistors (23 and 25) are connected to form a current mirror. A power supply voltage is provided to both sides of the current mirror through a third and a fourth transistor (22 and 26). The third and fourth transistors receive complementary signals V I  and                V       I         ¯           . A fifth transistor (21) is connected between the third transistor and the power supply, and a sixth transistor (24) is connected across the current mirror. An output signal, provided at the mirror side of the current mirror, is fed back into the converter at the control electrodes of the fifth and sixth transistors and utilized to prevent a constant undesirable DC current from flowing between the power supply voltage terminals, thereby reducing the power consumption of the converter.

Abstract: A circuit for providing drive current to a coil of a motor uses a sensefet current sensing device having a sense node and a source node. The source node is connected to deliver current to the coil, wherein a "sense" current proportional to said delivered current is produced on the sense node. An amplifier is connected to sense a voltage between said sense and source nodes to produce an output voltage to force a voltage on the sense node to be the same as a voltage on the source node. A pass element is connected to route said "sense" current to an output node. The circuit produces an output that is suitable for use as a feedback signal in a motor control system.

Abstract: A charging apparatus includes a magnetic piece (14)attached to a wheel (12) of a vehicle (11) for rotation together with the wheel, and a battery powered device (16) for detecting rotation of the magnetic piece. The device includes an induction coil (19). As the rotating magnet passes by the coil, an electromotive force is induced in the coil by electromagnetic induction. The induced electromotive force indicates the passing of the magnet and is used for computing the speed or travelled distance of the vehicle. The same electromotive force is also used for charging a storage battery (24). This arrangement eliminates the need of replacing the battery and preserves the operation of the battery-powered device.

Abstract: A method of forming a polymer-reinforced paper which includes preparing an aqueous suspension of fibers, at least about 50 percent, by dry weight, of which are cellulosic fibers; distributing the suspension on a forming wire; removing water from the distributed suspension to form a paper; and treating the paper thus formed with a polymer-reinforcing medium which contains a bulking agent to give the polymer-reinforced paper. The treatment of the paper is adapted to provide in the polymer-reinforced paper from about 15 to about 70 percent, by weight, of bulking agent, based on the dry weight of the cellulosic fibers in the paper. Alternatively, the bulking agent can be added to a polymer-reinforced paper after it has been formed. In certain embodiments, the bulking agent is a polyhydric alcohol. In other embodiments, the bulking agent is a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight in the range of from about 100 to about 1,500. The polymer-reinforced paper has improved cross-direction tear when tested with an Elmendorf Tear Tester in accordance with TAPPI Method T414, particularly when the paper has a moisture content no greater than about 5 percent by weight.

Abstract: The cartridge (10) (preferably of the thermal inkjet type) includes a housing (12) having a multi-cellular foam member (100) therein. To increase the ink-retaining capacity of the foam member, one or more elongate bores (130) are positioned entirely through the foam member (100). Each bore is preferably uniform in cross-sectional size and configuration along its entire length, and may encompass numerous cross-sectional configurations (e.g. circular or rectangular). The longitudinal axis of each bore is preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the foam member. When the foam member (100) is supplied with ink, an additional portion of ink is retained within each bore. As a result, the ink-retaining capacity of the foam member is increased compared with foam members which lack any bores. The bores function as internal ink reservoirs from which ink may be drawn during cartridge operation.

Abstract: A method (FIG 9, FIG 10) and apparatus (201) for implementing a zero order hold function (150) in the digital to analog conversion process (206) in a digital control system (FIG 2) reduces the phase lag contributed by the digital to analog conversion process (206) relative to a conventional implementation of the zero order hold function (150). The apparatus (201) for implementing the reduced phase lag zero order hold function (150) employs a digital signal processor (105), a plurality of digital buffers (202-204), a digital multiplexing element (207), and a digital to analog converter (206). Phase lag is reduced by generating, from the digital to analog converter (206), for a fraction of the sample period, a waveform (FIG 8) having a constant analog voltage with an amplitude which is scaled by the reciprocal of said fraction relative to a conventional zero order hold function (150). During the remainder of the sample period a substantially constant offset analog voltage is generated by the digital to analog converter (206). Alternatively, the time compression and amplitude scaling required to implement the reduced phase lag zero order hold function can be performed within the digital signal processor (105) in the digital control system (FIG 2).
