Abstract: An electronic ballast for low-pressure discharge lamps supplied from DC or AC voltage networks, having an invertor (1) which supplies at least one lamp (8) via a capacitive reactance (6) connected in parallel with it and an inductive reactance (2) connected in series with it, an electronic harmonic filter (4) with a step-up inductor (L3) and a digital control circuit (2) for the invertor, which control circuit is connected to a DC voltage supply circuit (3). The DC voltage supply circuit is connected to the harmonic filter and has a capacitor (C3) which can be charged to the supply voltage of the control circuit via a first transistor (T4). The first transistor switches on immediately after the supply voltage of the electronic ballast has switched on. A blocking circuit (R6, R7, C4, T5) switches the first transistor off once the capacitor is charged and the latter is continuously recharged via an additional auxiliary winding (N1) of the step-up inductor and a rectifier circuit (D1-D4) connected thereto. In consequence, the voltage required to supply the control circuit is made available immediately after the start, in the case of both DC and AC voltage operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A batteryless, portable, frequency divider includes a first resonant LC circuit (70) that is resonant at a first frequency for receiving electromagnetic radiation at the first frequency; and a second resonant LC circuit (74) that is resonant at a second frequency that is one-half the first frequency for transmitting electromagnetic radiation at the second frequency. The first circuit is coupled only magnetically to the second circuit to transfer energy to the second circuit in response to receipt by the first circuit of electromagnetic radiation at the first frequency. At least one of the resonant circuits includes a variable reactance element, such as a variable capacitance diode (D1<.>, D1<..>) or a varactor. In a variable reactance element (D1<.>) of the first circuit (70), the reactance varies with variations in energy received by the first circuit for causing the second circuit to vary in reactance due to mutual reactive coupling to cause the second circuit to transmit electromagnetic radiation at the second frequency in response to the energy transferred from the first circuit at the first frequency. In a variable reactance element (D2<.>) of the second circuit (74), the reactance varies with variations in energy transferred from the first circuit for causing the second circuit to transmit electromagnetic radiation at the second frequency in response to the energy transferred from the first circuit at the first frequency. Both resonant circuits include inductance coils (L1<.>, L2<.>) that are disposed on a ferrite rod (72), for enhancing the magnetic coupling. The frequency divider is included in a tag utilized in a presence detection system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A trigger mechanism for controlling the firing rate of a gun (10) capable of fully automatic fire. The trigger mechanism comprises a timing device (54, 56) which cyclically interrupts the gun bolt (14) and is incorporated in the gun. The timing device (54, 56) is actuated independently of forces generated by the discharge of the gun so that the bolt (14) periodically is arrested to reduce its natural cyclic rate of movement during automatic firing.

Pour ce faire, on dispose entre le transformateur (2) et la mémoire (8) des moyens de temporisation (3) pour fournir les coordonnées des angles de zones quadrilatérales adjacentes définies par des valeurs en nombres entiers des coordonnées transformées, un 'pré-dissecteur' (4) pour obtenir des coordonnées de zones quadrilatérales plus petites en lesquelles on peut diviser les premières zones, et un 'remplisseur de trous' (5) pour générer des valeurs de coordonnées intermédiaires situées dans chacun des quadrilatères plus petits. Un interpolateur (7) fournit des valeurs de données intermédiaires dérivées des valeurs linéaires pour correspondre aux valeurs des coordonnées intermédiaires générées par le remplisseur de trous.

Abstract: A mechanism for facilitating metric conversion of digitized images intended for use with a multi-resolution, multi-application environment is integrated into the encoding and decoding mechanisms of the hierarchical database, such that stored residual image files contain metric change information. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the metric conversion operator is executed upon a relatively low spatial resolution file, thereby resulting in a substantial reduction in processing overhead, as advantage is taken of the availability of the reduced size of the lower spatial resolution base file within the hierarchical database, so that a metric conversion may be performed on the relatively small number of pixels within the base file, prior to up-converting the image to a relatively high spatial resolution image, such as a 2048 X 3072 pixel image for driving a high resolution digital thermal color printer.

Abstract: The invention relates to interrogator E/R (emitters/receivers) means, or portal structure associated with responder E/R means, or tag, comprising a digital code for identification. The portal structure sends four types of information in the form of signals to the tags which respond by 'yes' or by an absence of response till the portal structure has found their code. When its code has been found, the tag inhibits itself, thereby enabling the detection of other codes. The invention applies particularly to the surveillance of individuals carrying responder E/R means or to the cashing and billing of goods sold in large stores.
