Title: Permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system power converter not employing electrolytic capacitor, and control method thereof
Inventor: CHAO ZHANG
IPC: H02P27/06
Filed: 2017-05-18
Abstract: A permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system power converter that does not employ an electrolytic capacitor, and a control method thereof. The power converter comprises a single-phase rectifier circuit unit (A) connected to a power grid (Ug) and a three-phase inverter (B) connected to a permanent magnet synchronous motor, and further comprises first and second inductors (L1, L2), a thin film capacitor (C1), a fifth diode (D5), a sixth diode (D6), a seventh diode (D7), and an active power buffer circuit (C) consisting of first and second transistors (S1, S2). The active power buffer circuit controls the output current (ig) of the power grid to change following the voltage of the power grid. When the output power (Pg) of the power grid is greater than the input power (PM) of the motor, the power grid directly supplies power to the motor via the three-phase inverter, and the active power buffer circuit absorbs excess fluctuating energy of the power grid. When the output power of the power grid is less than the input power of the motor, the active power buffer circuit releases energy for operation of the motor. While ensuring the running performance of the motor, the power grid side operates at a power factor of approximately 1, and the harmonic of the output current of the power grid is less than 5%, improving the service life of the drive system.

Title: Improved ball launcher
Inventor: SAM LARKE
IPC: A63B69/40
Filed: 2019-10-01
Abstract: A ball launcher with a motor 11 that drives a worm 10 and worm wheel 7, a gear wheel 6 and a firing arm 5. A helical spring 8 is attached at one end to the firing arm and at the other end to the housing. The motor drives rotation of the worm wheel which meshes and rotates the gear wheel. The gear wheel is attached to the firing arm, rotation of the firing arm from a rest position pulls against the tension in the spring. The worm wheel has a smooth toothless section (15, figure 6) which allows the gear wheel to rotate freely under the contraction of the spring when the portion without teeth is reached by the gear wheel. This pulls the firing arm back to the rest position where it kicks a ball. The housing has wheels and a detachable container for queuing balls to be launched. The angle of ball delivery and trajectory can be adjusted. The ball launcher can launch multiple balls consecutively without user intervention.

Title: Reactive Attenuator
Inventor: SANTIAGO RAMON ALVAREZ FERNANDEZ
IPC: H03G1/00
Filed: 2021-01-15
Abstract: Valve amplifiers, when over-driven, produce distortion and a tonal quality that guitarists appreciate. Guitarists like to ‘push’ their amplifiers into this region of operation. However, the sound may then be too loud for normal use. The invention provides an output attenuator that lowers the sound level while retaining the desired sound quality more satisfactorily than does a resistive attenuator, while avoiding the costly inductors of a traditional ‘reactive’ attenuator (fig.4). In the circuit of the invention (fig.5), the non-ideal characteristics of an output transformer (modelled in the equivalent circuit of fig.6) can effectively replace some components in a traditional ‘reactive’ attenuator (fig.4). For example, the invention recognises that the magnetising inductance of the transformer (55, fig.6) is equivalent to the load-box inductor (32, fig.4). The attenuator circuit (fig.5) thus comprises a load capacitor 33 and load resistor 25 coupled across a winding (or part-winding, fig.7) of the output transformer 14.
