Inventor: ZARABADI SEYED
IPC: H03K17/06
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A predriver circuit (25) includes a turn on drive circuit
(25 1 ) having a first amplifier stage (M42, M39) receiving a first
analog current and coupled to a second amplifier stage (M33, M1)
defining a circuit output (20 1 ). The turn on drive circuit (25 1 ) is
responsive to a first state of a digital clock signal (VCLK) to disable
operation of a turn off drive circuit (25 2 ) and supply an amplified
representation of the first analog current to the circuit output (20 1 )
with controlled slew rate for optimum switching speed and
electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance. The predriver
circuit (25) further includes a turn off drive circuit (25 2 ) having three
amplifier stages (M26-27, M24-25, M14, M2-3) responsive to a second
opposite state of the digital clock signal (VCLK) to disable operation
of the turn on drive circuit (25 1 ) and draw an amplified
representation of a second analog current from the circuit output
(20 1 ) with controlled slew rate for optimum switching speed and EMI
performance. The turn on and turn off circuits (25 1 , 25 2 ) also include
circuitry (M34, M36, I3, I4, N1-N4, M40, N5, I1, DM3, D1-D3, R9-10;
DM5, M18, M23, I5-6, N10-13, M43, N8-9, DM4, M22, M19, M4-5)
for minimizing power dissipation during respective operation thereof.
The predriver circuit (25) of the present invention thus provides for
high speed operation with optimum EMI performance in a high
voltage environment while also minimizing power dissipation

Abstract: A laparoscopic surgical scissors for cutting tissue is disclosed.
The laparoscopic surgical scissors has a handle body assembly
having an actuation member moveable toward and away from the
handle body assembly. An elongated shaft having a proximal and a
distal end that define a longitudinal axis is connected to the handle
body assembly at the proximal end of said shaft. A pair of cutting
blades have a first blade member and a second blade member that
are co-operably connected about a common pivot member adjacent
to the distal end of the elongated shaft. The common pivot member
defines a common pivot axis perpendicular to the elongated shaft.
The first blade member has a first cutting edge and the second blade
member has a second cutting edge facing the first cutting edge. The
blade members have a single point of blade contact translating
proximally and distally as the blade members open and close in
response to movement of the actuation member away from and
toward the handle body assembly. Each of the blade members
defines a curvature along the shaft longitudinal axis and each of the
curvatures has a proximal end and a distal end. A proximal arc of
curvature and a distal arc of curvature define the curvature of each
of the blade members. The proximal arc of the first blade member
has a first radius of curvature and the distal arc of the first blade
member has a second radius of curvature. The proximal arc of the
second blade member has a third radius of curvature and the distal
arc of the second blade member has a fourth radius of curvature.
Each of the radii of curvature is taken through a common centerline 
parallel to the common pivot axis, and each of the radii of curvature
is different from each other.

Abstract: A digital receiver for receiving an analog host signal with one or more digital
sidebands includes a bandreject filter arranged at least in part in an intermediate frequency
(IF) processing stage of the receiver. In an illustrative embodiment, first and second digital
sidebands are transmitted on either side of a frequency modulated (FM) analog host signal
in a hybrid in-band on-channel (HIBOC) digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system. The
received composite signal is filtered in the IF processing stage of the receiver by the
bandreject filter in order to substantially attenuate the analog host signal while passing the
digital sidebands. The bandreject filter may be arranged in the IF processing stage so as to
filter the analog host signal from the composite signal at a point prior to an input of an
automatic gain control (AGC) circuit, such that the AGC operating point is determined
primarily by the digital sidebands. The bandreject filter may have a group delay
characteristic for a portion of a frequency spectrum associated with the digital sidebands
that is selected to equalize a corresponding group delay characteristic for a signal path of
the receiver.

Abstract: A circuit (200) for recovering the timing reference signal (271) includes a superheterodyne
phase locked loop (A). The recovery circuit avoids the need for a phase linear filter with a
large percentage bandwidth and allows placement of the filter (206) at a point in the
recovery circuit where the centre frequency to be passed is substantially fixed. The
recovery circuit thus constructed farther allows the bandwidth of the filter to be narrower
and tailored to match the modulation characteristics of the timing recovery signal. This
results in a better signal-to noise ratio into a limiter and phase detector, improving the
performance of the phase locked loop (A).

Abstract: A method and device for measuring the moisture content and workability of a granular material.
According to the method, use is made of the fact that the bulk density of a granular material, like
sand, initially decreases to a minimum with rising moisture content and subsequently increases.
When the volume and weight of a material mixture is measured, the moisture content can be
determined using a known curve, and thus for example the amount of water can be correctly
adjusted in the production of concrete. Thus, the desired workability is obtained. Preferably, the
volume is determined by laser measurement of the surface level of concrete being mixed.

IPC: F23G5/16

Abstract: Sulfur, or a suitable sulfur carrier, is dosed under control into a furnace chamber, as a function of the total proportion of halogen and the halogen type. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding waste incineration plant. Preferred features: Sulfur quantity dosed under control is proportional to the current total fraction of Cl, Br or I in the waste. Sulfur quantity dosed is controlled in accordance with an operationally-determined sulfur dosing graph. This achieves the necessary SO2 residual concentration in the raw gas following the boiler, before quenching, corresponding with the Cl-, Br- or I- rich waste. The determination is carried out for at least one predominant fraction of Cl, Br or I in the waste. The minimum necessary SO2 content in the boiler raw gas is found, under steady state operation, to reduce the quantity of free Cl, Br or I detected in the purified gas following the scrubber, to zero or a set limit. The current total halogen fraction on the flue gas side is determined as halogenide content in effluent water from the acid flue gas scrubber, i.e. as the product of halogenide concentration and volumetric flow of effluent, determined continuously. In another alternative, it is determined from measurements of halogen and hydrogen halide species in the boiler flue gas after the boiler and before quench, and the dry volumetric flow rate of flue gas. As an alternative to the latter, a magnitude proportional to the volumetric flow rate of the flue gas is taken, e.g. the rate of steam generation at the boiler, is determined continuously. Sulfur content is raised momentarily, preferably by 10% to 50%, should free halogen be detected in purified gas from the scrubber but ahead of any SCR (selective catalytic reduction) catalyst bed. Similar action is taken on detection of excessive halogen in effluent water from the acid scrubber. Sulfur is added as solid, liquid, or as waste sulfuric acid. Solid sulfur is dosed as pellets by pneumatic conveying into the primary combustion zone (3). Waste sulfuric acid is dosed to the primary or secondary furnace zone (4) using controlled metering pumps and nozzles. Where halogen content in the flue gas cycles as a result of dosing halogen-rich waste packages, dosing of sulfur is controlled in sympathy, in respect of quantity, time and duration. Hypo-halogenide reduction in the alkali scrubber is effected through bisulfide process sinters formed from the residual SO2 of the boiler raw gas and/or by an externally-supplied reductant such as thiosulfate. Sympathetic control of sulfur dosing is a function of automatically-read bar codes on the packs, thus giving information on calorific value, halogen type and halogen quantity in the pack.
