With Dynamic Rectifier In Phase 2 To D.c. Stage (e.g., Commutator Type) Patents (Class 363/7)
  • Patent number: 7976159
    Abstract: Continuous Adjustable Pulfrich Filter Spectacles are provided with lenses with continuously changeable optical densities, so that viewing of 2D movies is optimized for visualization in natural 3D. Method and means are disclosed for the continuous Adjustable Pulfrich Filter Spectacles to perform two independent optimizations to achieve optimized 3Deeps visual effects on 2D movies. First they compute the optical density setting of the lenses for optimal viewing of 2D movies as 3D. Then they continuously render the lenses of the spectacles to these optical densities optimized for characteristics of the electro-optical material from which the lenses of the spectacles are fabricated. The invention works for both 3DTV and 3D Cinema theater viewing.

    Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed for operating a converter circuit. Such a converter circuit has a converter unit having a multiplicity of drivable power semiconductor switches. The converter unit is connected to an electrical AC voltage supply system on the AC voltage side. The drivable power semiconductor switches are driven by means of a drive signal formed from reference voltages (u*Na, u*Nb, u*Nc). The reference voltages (u*Na, u*Nb, u*Nc) are formed from a periodic modulation index and from a periodic modulation angle.
