  • Patent number: 10578655
    Abstract: A device for measuring low currents is proposed to include: a transimpedance amplifier to convert an analog current signal into an analog voltage signal; an analog-to-digital converter to acquire a graph that plots a curve representing variation of the analog voltage signal using digital codes; a statistic module to acquire a set of crossing numbers by: for each of the digital codes, making a straight line that has a constant value equaling the digital code across time in the graph, and counting a number of crossings of the curve with the straight line; and an analysis module to analyze distribution of the crossing numbers, and to output an output code based on the distribution of the crossing numbers.

  • Publication number: 20110026659
    Abstract: A control loop includes a pressure vessel, a condenser and a piping provided between the pressure vessel and the condenser. The piping includes a steam pipe for transferring dry air from the pressure vessel into the condenser, a turbine bypass pipe for transferring wet air from the pressure vessel into the condenser; a water-feeding pipe for transferring a first amount of water from the condenser into the pressure vessel and a pump bypass pipe for transferring a second amount of water from the condenser into the pressure vessel. Turbines are provided on the steam pipe and driven by the dry air. A turbine-controlling valve is provided on the steam pipe and operable to control the flow rate of the dry air. A turbine bypass valve is provided on the turbine bypass pipe and operable to control the flow rate of the wet air.
