Abstract: Moteur hydraulique actionné magnétiquement et possédant un élément mobile (94) comportant des éléments de soupape servant à ouvrir et à fermer alternativement l'une et l'autre des faces plus importantes (44) et plus petites (46) d'un piston étagé (42) effectuant un déplacement alternatif dans un carter (12), ledit élément mobile portant un aimant (100) et se déplaçant, de façon à faire coïncider la position de l'aimant avec celle d'un des éléments d'attraction magnétique éloignés entre eux (102, 104). Quand la position de l'aimant coïncide avec celle de son élément d'attraction magnétique, la force de retenue magnétique dépasse la force d'élasticité simultanée fournie par des éléments de ressort (105, 107) exerçant une action sur l'élément mobile. L'énergie emmagasinée dans les ressorts comprimés est libérée, de façon à ne déplacer l'élément mobile qu'après l'affaiblissement de la force de retenue magnétique dû à l'application de la force de séparation s'exerçant par l'intermédiaire de butées arrêtant ledit élément mobile, tandis que le piston continue à se déplacer sans ouverture immédiate de la face fermée dudit piston.

Title: Optical source for communications system.
Inventor: WALKER NIGEL GORDON MEADOW CLO
IPC: H03B17/00
Filed: 1993-06-29
Abstract: An optical source for a communications system comprises an optical signal source (1) whose output is modulated so as to contain sidebands. The sidebands interact to produce beat frequencies and modifying means (3), such as a length of dispersive optical fibre, is used to modify characteristics of the sidebands so that the beat frequency can be detected at a receiver (4) comprising a photodetector. In this way, high frequency signals can be generated and photodetected, the output of the receiver (4) being suitable to drive a microwave antenna (5), thus providing an optically fed microwave communications link (6). Using a video signal generator (11), a video signal can be superimposed on the received beat frequency and therefore carried by the microwave link (6).

Abstract: An improved power supply (5) for an electrostatic spray gun having a voltage multiplier circuit (12) adjusts to variations in the output load conditions of the multiplier circuit (12) and dynamically modifies the operational loadline of the multiplier circuit (12) in order to maintain optimal operating conditions for the spray gun notwithstanding output load variations. The power supply (5) utilizes a loadline manipulation circuit (16) coupled to a feedback circuit (14) that monitors the output load, and the manipulation circuit (16), in response to a feedback signal from the feedback circuit (14) that is proportional to the output load, varies the input voltage level to the multiplier circuit (12) to modify the loadline of the power supply (5) in response to varying load conditions. The manipulator means (16) of the power supply (5) has memory means (29) to store a variety of external commands which will control the manipulation means (16) and a user interface (25) to enter the external commands into the memory (29). The power supply (5) also comprises a voltage limiting circuit (60) coupled to the output of the multiplier circuit (12) which regulates the output voltage level of the multiplier circuit (12) so that when the output load current increases above a predetermined maximum level the output voltage is reduced to reduce the high voltage stress on the multiplier circuit (12) and high voltage circuitry and reduce the amount of insulation that must surround the multiplier circuit (12) and high voltage circuitry of the power supply (5) in order to insulate it from ground potential.

Abstract: A mobile communications system has a base station (12) including a transmitter for communicating to mobile transceivers (14) located within the service area (16) of the base station. Additional receive-only stations (24) are located throughout the service area, and are coupled to the base station by fixed links (26) such as optical fibre or microwave links. A mobile transceiver's signals are received by one or more of the receive-only stations and/or the base station, and communicated to the base station over the fixed links. The size of the service area can be determined primarily by the provision of adequate reception of the base station's transmitted signal; adequate reception of the much lower power signal from a mobile transceiver does not significantly influence the service area size.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for enabling configuration of a PCI daughter card residing on an MCA adapter card using MCA setup cycles and signals and for ensuring the allocation of memory space to the daughter card. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises an MCA adapter card connected to an MCA system bus of a conventional PC. A PCI-compliant daughter card, the purpose of which is to provide additional functionality to circuitry of the adapter card, resides on a PCI bus of the adapter card. A PCI/MCA bridge is provided for interfacing the MCA system bus with the PCI bus of the adapter card for enabling configuration of the daughter card during the setup sequence of the MCA bus and to respond with an appropriate ROM signature during DOS boot-up to ensure that memory space will be allocated to the daughter card, if needed. A first set of XPOS registers of the adapter card are used selectively to enable the bridge and to allow the PCI configuration space, or registers, of the daughter card and other PCI-compliant devices on the daughter card to be selectively accessed and initialized. Certain registers of a second set of XPOS registers are used to set the data flow mode of the bridge and to respond with the correct ROM signature at DOS boot-up of the PC. The remaining ones of the second set of XPOS registers are used selectively to enable and to store the size and location of any necessary RAM and/or ROM apertures of the daughter card, thereby enabling the bridge to initiate a PCI operation to the daughter card if it decodes an address within either of the apertures.
