Title: Improvements relating to DC-DC converters
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2009-10-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for control of DC-DC converters, especially in valley current mode. The DC-DC converter is operable so that a low side supply switch may be turned off, before the high side supply switch is turned on. During the period when both switches are off the current loop control remains active and the change in inductor (L) current is emulated. One embodiment uses a current sensor for lossless current sensing and emulates the change in inductor current by holding the value of the output of the current sensor (ISNS) at the time that the low side switch turns off and adding an emulated ramp signal (VISLP) until the inductor current reaches zero. Embodiment employing a pulse-skip mode of operation based on a minimum conduction time are also disclosed. The invention enables a seamless transition from Continuous Conduction Mode the Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Pulse Skipping and provide converters that are efficient at low current loads.

Title: Loop-through circuit
Filed: 2009-10-23
Abstract: This invention finds application in wireless communication devices which have multiple communication protocols. For example, the device could provide WPAN communication through a protocol such as Bluetooth (RTM) and also WLAN communication using an IEEE 802.11 protocol. Each protocol has its own respective transceiver integrated circuit (IC) 702, 703. Only the main protocolâ  s IC 702 is directly connected to an antenna 704, but the secondary protocolâ  s IC 703 has access to the antenna by means of a digital RF loop-through connection 708 with the main protocolâ  s IC. This application concerns the main protocolâ  s IC 702, which has digital loop-through circuitry for interfacing with the digital loop-through connection. The main protocolâ  s IC also has a digital interface for connection with a host controller 710. The main protocolâ  s IC demodulates RF signals received through the antenna, demodulates the data and outputs this using the digital loop-through circuitry.

Title: Cleaning of objects with solvent
Inventor: HOLM KURT ANDERS
IPC: C23G5/04
Filed: 1982-06-04
Granted: 1985-05-15
Abstract: A degreasing apparatus comprises a vessel (3) the lower portion of which is shut off by means of a bowl-shaped plate (5), to form a container (1) with a heating means (2) for boiling solvent. The bowl-shaped plate (5) has an opening (6) at its lowest point. A valve means (7) is arranged at the opening (6). The valve means (7) comprises a body, preferably a ball, which can seal against a seat which surrounds the opening (6). The density and size of the body are related to the size of the opening (6) so that the body floats up from the seat in the presence of solvent condensate, so that condensate can pass from the valve means to the container (1). Vapor pressurized in the container (1) by the heating means (2) lifts the body from the seat so that vapor can flow up into the treatment space of the vessel (3). When the apparatus is shut off, the body seals the opening (6) and thereby prevents evaporation of solvent from the container (1).
Patent DE-3265792-D1 (DE)
Title: Smoke detector with a pulse-actuated radiation source
Inventor: MUGGLI JURG DR DIPL PHYS
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 1982-05-13
Granted: 1985-10-03
Abstract: A smoke detector contains a pulse-operated radiation source and a radiation receiver arranged externally of the region directly irradiated by the radiation source. The radiation receiver, in the presence of smoke in the radiation region, is impinged by scattered radiation and delivers output pulses. There is provided an evaluation circuit which generates a blocking pulse, and which inputs a resetting signal to a counter device in consequence of the difference of the blocking pulse and output pulse of the radiation receiver. The counter or counting device, in the absence of a resetting signal, is switched further and upon reaching a predetermined counter state triggers an alarm signal. High-frequency electrical disturbances which arise, as long as the radiation source delivers radiation pulses, at most can generate an additional resetting signal for the counter, so that the integrity of the smoke detector against triggering of false alarms is enhanced. If there is connected in parallel to the radiation receiver a NTC-resistor, then there is obtained a smoke detector which responds to a further combustion criterion (temperature).

Title: Disc-playing aroma generator
Inventor: SPECTOR DONALD
IPC: G11B3/70
Filed: 1983-08-22
Granted: 1987-11-19
Abstract: A disc-playing aroma generator whose appearance and function are analogous to those of a phono disc record player, the user when playing a selected aromatic disc enjoying an olfactory rather than an auditory experience. Each aromatic disc houses a supply of a liquid fragrance whereby when the disc is inserted in the player, an aromatic vapor is then discharged into the atmosphere. The disc is formed by a circular sheet of absorbent material impregnated with the liquid fragrance and sandwiched between a pair of annular plastic films which are peripherally joined to create a central zone exposing the impregnated sheet. In the player, heated air under positive pressure is forced through the central zone to volatilize the liquid to produce a vapor which is discharged through vents in the casing of the player. The aromatic disc is packaged in a transparent sleeve having circular spindle labels on both sides thereof which overlie the central zone to impart thereto the appearance of a conventional phone record and serving to identify the fragrance.
