  • Patent number: 6356463
    Abstract: A high frequency, voltage feedback control mode power converter having a microprocessor outputs a control clock signal and a simulated output voltage to control the dead-time value of a PWM controller. The control clock signal is decided by an input interrupt process program and an output interrupt process program written in the microprocessor. By appropriately providing the control clock signal for controlling the dead-time value of the PWM controller, the efficiency of the high frequency, voltage feedback control mode power converter is raised and an output steady response is also improved.

  • Patent number: 6353310
    Abstract: A DC/DC charge and supply converting module has a function of constant-current charging an electrical appliance, and a function of supplying constant voltage power to an electrical appliance. The converting module includes a DC/DC converter and a charge module connected with an input end of the DC/DC converter. The charge module includes a comparator, a constant current source connected with a first input end of the comparator, and a bleeder circuit connected to a second input end of the comparator. The comparator is used for controlling an output voltage of the DC/DC converter to remain constant. The constant current source provides a constant current to the corresponding input end of the comparator and allows the DC/DC converter to output a constant current for the purpose of charge.

  • Patent number: 6349545
    Abstract: Hybrid propulsion system comprising an internal-combustion engine (1) rotatably connected to a reversible electrical machine (2), a rechargeable battery (3), an electric driving motor (7), control apparatus (8) commanding first switching device (4, 5) for selectively connecting the battery (3) to the electric driving motor (7) and/or the reversible electrical machine (2). When the electric driving motor (7) is supplied with the current flowing in from the battery (3), said control apparatus (8) monitor the voltage at the poles (3P, 3N) of the battery (3). When the motor (7) is at least partially supplied with the current generated by the reversible electrical machine (2), owing to the latter being driven rotatably by the internal-combustion engine (1), the same control apparatus (8) monitor the voltage at the poles (2P, 2N) of the reversible electrical machine (2).

  • Patent number: 6345806
    Abstract: A foot-actuated faucet includes a valve having a body, a bonnet attached to the body and a diaphragm mounted between the body and the bonnet to define a chamber in the bonnet. The body includes an inlet adapted to connect to a water source and an outlet to a spigot. A vertical outlet channel is formed in the body, connects to the outlet near the lower end and has a seat formed at the upper end. The seat is higher than the outlet. An actuating hole is defined in and extends through the bonnet, and an actuating tube connected to the actuating hole to communicate with the chamber. A hole with a diameter smaller than the actuating hole is defined in the diaphragm. An actuating device communicates with the chamber in the valve via the actuating tube and including an actuating valve movably received in the actuating device. The actuating valve includes a shank partially extending out of the actuating device and adapted to be stepped on by a user to selectively release pressure in the chamber.
