Abstract: A double-clamp earth tester device, having a voltage-inducing transformer (VT) (30), a current-sensing transformer (CT) (32), a voltage source adapted to supply a voltage across a primary winding (31) on the VT core (44) and a signal processing unit (35) adapted to measure a resultant signal output from a secondary winding (33) on the CT core (46), is susceptible to errors induced by electromagnetic interference between the cores (44, 46) of the two transformers. Previously, the effects of this interference have been mitigated by surrounding one or both cores (44, 46) with electromagnetic shielding (42). This had lead to devices having a bulky head portion and attendant difficulties in accessing sites having restricted access (52). These problems have been overcome by providing means to modify the signal output form the secondary winding (33). This may be achieved magnetically by nullifying the parasitic magnetic fields (66) at source in the core (46) of the current-sensing transformer, or electrically by the addition of a negative signal to the output signal prior to or during processing in the signal processing unit (35).

IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for implementing a semiconductor switch multi-stage drive circuit (103). The disclosed method and an apparatus reduce losses in a semiconductor switch (104) when it is turned from an off state to an on state or from an on state to an off state. The reduction in losses is achieved without influencing the dv/dt across the semiconductor switch (104) during a first time period while the semiconductor switch is switching. This reduction in losses is therefore achieved with very little increase in the noise generated due to rapid dv/dt during the first time period when the semiconductor switch is switching. The configuration of the circuitry to achieve this reduction in switching losses is such that benefits are less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances and temperature effects than alternative semiconductor switch drive schemes to achieve similar results.

IPC: D01F1/04

Abstract: Dyed yarns typically have inferior color fastness compared with pigmented yarns. However, dyeing offers a virtually infinite selection of colors, flexibility and more uniformity than constructions of pigmented yarns in residential carpet and other yarn applications, such as apparel. It has been found that relatively small amounts of pigment (10 to 1000 ppm) incorporated into polymeric fibers, and particularly nylon fibers used in carpets, creates lightly pigmented yarns which, when overdyed, are highly uniform and have a higher degree of apparent dye light fastness compared to normal dyed yarns. This effect is observable for both anionic and cationic polyamide polymers, and dyeing of these slightly pigmented yarns can be conducted to produce yarns of almost any color of greater depth than the base yarn.
