  • Patent number: 9664543
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the flow or the flow rate of a medium in an electrically conductive object, in particular a pipe (1) or a pipeline, through which a medium flows. At least one ultrasonic wave (16) is produced by means of a transmitting transducer (11) in the object and is injected into the medium as a longitudinal wave (8) on an inner side of the object, and an ultrasonic signal, coming at least partially from the longitudinal wave (8), is received by the receiving transducer (12), at a spatial distance from the injection point and is used to evaluate the flow or the flow rate. Said transmitting transducer (11) produces, preferably in the absence of an acoustic coupling with the surface of the object, a first variable magnetic field in an area close to the surface of the object, in particular metallic, and a first ultrasonic wave is produced in said area by means of the interaction of said variable magnetic field with a static or quasi-static magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 9113517
    Abstract: An alternating current power supply apparatus sends an alternating current power to a dimmer. The dimmer dims the alternating current power to fetch a dimmed power. The dimmer sends the dimmed power to a rectification unit. The rectification unit rectifies the dimmed power to fetch a rectified power. The rectification unit sends the rectified power to an integration sampling unit and a light emitting diode. The integration sampling unit integrates, samples and converts the rectified power to fetch an integration voltage signal. The integration sampling unit sends the integration voltage signal to a voltage-to-current control conversion unit. The voltage-to-current control conversion unit converts the integration voltage signal to fetch a driving current signal to drive the light emitting diode. The driving current signal is constant, so that the light emitting diode is not blinking.
