Abstract: The flood unit, for use in a bathroom head shower or outflow fitting, has a housing (2) with a water inlet (4) and a longitudinal outflow slit so that the water flows out in a coherent curtain. Flow calming units are within the housing, to form an ante-chamber (5) to take the water inflow. The water flows from the chamber into a build-up zone (12), parallel to the outflow slit and over its whole length. The build-up zone is linked to the outflow slit through a narrow gap into the outflow zone (13) with the outflow slit. The water flow through the assembly is divided and calmed, to give an outflow curtain without pressure and movement only through the force of gravity, and retain its curtain shape over a long movement path from the outflow slit.

Abstract: A multi-section laser diode control system comprising a multi-section laser diode (10), microprocessor controller (24), digital-to-analogue converter (28), driver circuit (30) and wavelength locker (14) is modified by inclusion of a locking circuit (40) which generates an analogue correction signal  DELTA Vph responsive to measurements of the laser output made by the wavelength locker. The analogue correction signal is added to the preset phase voltage Vph asserted by the microprocessor controller to provide fast feedback that bypasses the microprocessor controller. This novel feedback is made possible by avoiding the use of the standard prior art control algorithm which requires a division calculation to be performed. Instead, novel control algorithms based purely on additions, subtractions and multiplications are used. The laser can thus be locked to its target output frequency without having to place slow analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters in the feedback control path. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Shock absorber containing a flow channel ( 16 ), provided with a valve assembly, made in the piston section. This valve assembly is designed to be actuated hydraulically. To this end there is an auxiliary chamber ( 22, 42 ) which on one side is eliminated by a movable valve body ( 18 ). This valve body is provided with an inlet for oil from the flow channel to the auxiliary chamber. There is an outlet ( 21, 41 ) (that can be closed off). The surface area of the valve body acting on the valve seat ( 19 ) is less than the surface area of the valve body in the auxiliary chamber, so that fluid flowing through the inlet of the valve body results in an increase in the volume of the auxiliary chamber and thus in closing movement of the valve body. Because filing of the auxiliary chamber takes some time, a frequenncy-dependend closing characteristic of the flow channel is obtained.

Abstract: An electronic circuit comprising an output driver (DRV) for supplying a control signal (U0), comprising a first power supply terminal (VDD); a second power supply terminal (VSS); a signal input terminal (IN) for receiving an input signal (Ui); a signal output terminal (OUT) for supplying the control signal (U0); an output transistor (T1) having a control terminal, and having a main current path coupled between the first power supply terminal (VDD) and the signal output terminal (OUT); and a control circuit (CNTRL) responsive to the input signal (Ui) which supplies a control signal (U1) to the control terminal of the output transistor (T1), which control circuit (CNTRL) comprises a buffer (BF) having an output which is coupled to the control terminal of the output transistor (T1), and having a first power terminal which is coupled to the first power supply terminal (VDD). The control circuit also supplies a further control signal (U2) to the control terminal of a further output transistor (T2) which has a main current path coupled between the signal output terminal (OUT) and the second power supply terminal (VSS). The input signal (Ui) controls a switch S. In consequence, an input of the buffer is charged with a current value I by means of current source (J1) or discharged with a current value I by means of current source (J1) and current source (J2). Thus a digital signal which is responsive to the input signal (Ui) is available at the input of the buffer (BF). The control circuit (CNTRL) further comprises a control field effect transistor (T3) having a gate, a source connected to a second power terminal of the buffer (BF), and a drain connected to the second power supply terminal (VSS). A zener diode (Z1) is connected between the second power supply terminal (VDD) and the gate of the control field effect transistor (T3). A third current source (J3) supplies current through the zener diode (Z1). The potential at the gate of the control field effect transistor (T3) is stabilized with respect to the potential at the first power supply terminal (VDD). Therefore also the potential (VRF) at the source of the control field effect transistor (T3), and thus at the second power terminal of the buffer (BF), is more or less stabilized with respect to the potential at the first power supply terminal (VDD). The control field effect transistor (T3) receives the current from the second power terminal of the buffer (BF) and transfers it to the second power supply terminal (VSS).

Abstract: The method of noise-immune information transmission of the present invention permits to increase the communication channel capacity without reducing the noise immunity of information being transmitted. In this method, informational digital samples are transmitted in the form of analog signal supplemented with a redundant information signal. The technical result is obtained owing to the fact that at the transmitting side: selecting at least one benchmark point between informational samples; in each selected benchmark point, determining an analog signal value to which said informational digital samples are converted using a second sampling function; converting the samples in the benchmark points to the redundant information signal in order to supplement said analog signal; selecting a difference between power levels for transmitting the most significant bits of each informational sample depending on a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the receiving side, and selecting the power levels for transmitting the samples of the benchmark points, a difference between which power levels is less than a difference selected for a power levels of the most significant bits; at the receiving side: according to the recovered digital samples, discovering the least significant bits by subtraction of the most significant bits; according to the discovered least significant bits, constructing an envelope using a second sampling function and discovering a value of this envelope in a respective benchmark point; comparing the discovered value of the envelope in the specific benchmark point with the corresponding value recovered from the received signal; in the case of lack of coincidence of compared values, choosing a set of digital samples which set ensures the coincidence, which is the correction. <IMAGE>
