  • Patent number: 8446202
    Abstract: A power limiting circuit includes: a maximum value prediction filter section (MVPFS) interpolating data of one branched digital input signal; a maximum value detection section detecting maximum value of an output of the MVPFS and a time detection position thereof every constant period; a threshold subtraction section subtracting a threshold from detected maximum value and outputting a peak signal (zero when the subtraction result is negative); a coefficient selection section weighting the peak signal according to time detection position; a complex filter section limiting the weighted peak signal within a band of the input signal; a filter coefficient calculation section calculating filter coefficients of the complex filter section; a delay adjustment section delaying another of the branched input signals by a time period required for calculating the band-limited peak signal; and a subtraction section subtracting the band-limited peak signal from the other of the branched input signals subjected to delay.

  • Patent number: 4395321
    Abstract: A separator electrolytic cell is disclosed which comprises a first electrode compartment surrounded with a releasable wall plate and a glove-shaped finger and a second electrode compartment surrounded with remaining cell walls, a cell top cover and the glove-shaped finger. A sheet-like separator is immediately installed to the cell without any peculiar processing and the cell facilitates assembly and disassembly and provides tight sealing.
