Patent EP-0725327-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKANISHI HIDEAKI
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 1996-02-02
Abstract: Disclosed is a compact power supply unit that prevents an electronic device from being shut down even when due to an in-rush current phenomenon the electronic device requires an additional supply of power that is greater than that which is needed for normal operation. This is achieved by controlling the power supply to selectively provide a plurality of constant output currents at different stages in the operation. 
     A CV area where constant voltage feedback control is performed on an output terminal voltage until it reaches a level V 1  is continued until an output current value is I 1 . Then, constant current feedback control is performed with the output current I 1  until the output terminal voltage falls to V 2  (< V 1 ). Further, constant current feedback control is performed with the output current I 2  (< I 1 ) in the area where the output terminal voltage is lower than V 2  (more specifically, in a battery charging area). The CV and CC processes can be inverted. When the operation starts (when the charging of a battery 30 begins) with the CC area where the output current value is I 2 , these processes are performed in inverted order. The maximum output of an AC/DC adaptor that has such a current-voltage characteristic is V 1  I 1 , which is greater than the maximum output V 1  V 2  when it possesses the CVCC characteristic for power saving and which constitutes an adequate supply of power for turning on of a backlight unit for an LCD, for example. This large supply of power is provided only momentarily to turn on the backlight. This operation is performed in a small area between V 1  and V 2 , and control is immediately returned to the CVCC operation to save power. That is, since heat generation due to the extraordinary output is not usually encountered, the countermeasure for the discharge of heat by the AC/DC adaptor can be the same as that which is employed for the CVCC characteristic for power saving.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal light valve used especially in projection type liquid crystal units. It is an object of the present invention to provide a projection type liquid crystal display unit with improved display qualities by enhancing display brightness and preventing nonuniform and poor orientation of liquid crystal molecules. 
     A pixel array region 4, on which display electrodes consisting of thin aluminum (Al) films as light reflecting films are formed for each pixel, is formed on a silicon substrate 2, and a counter electrode 16 is provided on a glass substrate 14 which is the counter substrate. The silicon substrate 2 and the glass substrate 14 face to each other, and bonded by narrow wall of spacers 6, 8, 10 and 12 consisting of an adhesive and photosensitive resin. Liquid crystals 18 are enclosed in the region between the pixel array region 4 and the counter electrode 16. No spacers are formed on the pixel array region 4. The spacers 6-12 bond upper and lower substrates outside immediate to the pixel array region 4, in order to make the thickness between the pixel array region 4 and the counter electrode 16 (cell gap) of high precision.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'ordonnancement de trafic à trames préstructurées qui détermine si les éléments de données d'arrivée sont conformes au contrat de trafic. Ce système détecte d'abord un élément de données en début ou en fin de trame et détermine si ladite trame est conforme au contrat de trafic. Si l'élément de données ne dépasse pas les paramètres du contrat de trafic, le système d'ordonnancement de trafic à trames préstructurées estime que ledit élément de données est conforme. Si cet élément de données était le premier de la trame, le système traite tous les éléments de données restants de la trame comme s'ils étaient soit conformes soit non conformes, selon que le premier élément de données était conforme ou non conforme. Si l'élément de données était le dernier de la trame, le système traite tous les éléments de la trame suivante comme étant conformes ou non conformes, selon que le dernier élément de la trame précédente était conforme ou non. De cette manière, tous les éléments de données de la même trame sont traités de la même manière par le réseau. Le système d'ordonnancement de trafic à trames préstructurées améliore la capacité de traitement du réseau, ce dernier risquant moins de perdre des ressources lors de la transmission d'éléments de données à partir d'une trame altérée.

Abstract: An electric power distribution system, comprising a plurality of automatic protection
circuit breakers (10, 11, ...; 20, 21, ...) distributed on various levels; each circuit breaker
comprises an electronic protection unit (15) which opens the circuit breaker. There are also
provided means (17, 18, 19; 27, 28, 29) for mutually connecting the circuit breakers in order
to exchange information concerning their open or closed state. Opening of the circuit breaker
depends on the values of the current (i(t)) flowing in the circuit breaker and of its derivative
(di(t)/dt). The method for controlling the intervention sequence of the mutually interlocked
circuit breakers (10, 11, ...; 20, 21, ...) entails that when one circuit breaker detects a fault
condition, it reports it to the next higher-level circuit breaker, blocking its opening action, and
in that said higher-level circuit breaker, when detecting a fault condition, reports this
information to the upstream circuit breaker, if provided, blocking its opening action.

Abstract: A heteroepitaxy cyclic texture growth method for a
diamond film is provided. The heteroepitaxy cyclic texture
growth method includes the steps of: (a) carburizing the
surface of the substrate; (b) forming nuclei on the surface of
the substrate; and (c) growing the nuclei formed on the
substrate, wherein the step (c) is performed by a cyclic
process in which mixed gas plasma state of carbon-containing
gas and hydrogen gas, and hydrogen gas plasma state of
hydrogen gas are alternately repeated for a predetermined
duration. Therefor, coverage area of the diamond film formed
on the Si-substrate is markedly increased. Also, the hydrogen
gas and the mixed gas are changed into a hydrogen gas plasma
state and a mixed gas plasma state, respectively, to maintain
the hydrogen gas plasma state and the mixed gas plasma state
for a predetermined duration, thereby increasing nucleation
density of the diamond film, textured grain size of the
diamond film and the degree of parallel orientation of the
diamond film with respect to the substrate.
