  • Patent number: 6285150
    Abstract: In order to control the operating voltage of a fan in electrical equipment, the temperature of an output diode (D) of an output circuit of the power supply of the electrical equipment is monitored. The operating voltage of the fan is controlled as a function of the component temperature of this physical element such that up to a limit temperature, which is in the region of the maximum permissible component temperature of a physical element which absolutely becomes the hottest, the operating voltage of the fan is regulated at a constant, minimum level. The operating voltage is then regulated to rise continuously and rapidly up to a maximum operating voltage at which, although the component temperature of the physical element which absolutely becomes the hottest is still above the limit temperature, it is below the maximum permissible component temperature of this physical element, however.

  • Patent number: 5864476
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus is shown that comprises several identical individual power packs connected in parallel so as to be decoupled from one another. The individual power packs produce coupled output voltages, of which one is adjusted by a pulse duty control and the others are corrected in linear fashion. By means of a correction such that a comparison of target/actual output voltage values is done without, the mean value of all the actual current values is formed, and a mistuning of a respective target/actual current comparison is carried out, a constantly uniform current distribution to the individual power packs is achieved, with a low power loss, fault tolerance via possible redundancy, and the possibility of "hot board replacement.

  • Patent number: 5731671
    Abstract: In order to control fans, which are arranged for example in power supplies for cooling the components arranged there, a method and a circuit arrangement are proposed which, on the basis of control pulses which are derived from the input current of the fan, effect the control in such a way that the control pulses are re-shaped into monostable pulses and are fed, via an asymmetrical resistance circuit for charging and discharging, to a storage component whose charge state is a measure for the control of the fan.

  • Patent number: 5154193
    Abstract: An improved device for continuous application of a hair dye to a person's hair, without wetting the scalp, incorporates a hair dye reservoir consisting of a first porous material within a housing and teeth made of a second porous material, inserted into the first porous material and in capillary connection with it. The teeth in the surface area of their free ends are free from open pores, and the main pore direction of both the second porous material of the teeth and the first porous material of the reservoir is essentially parallel in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the teeth. The first porous material of the reservoir extends over several times the penetration depth of the teeth in the penetration direction, and the pore size in the teeth is smaller than in the remainder of the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 5151851
    Abstract: Method and circuit arrangement for generating a sinusoidal line AC voltage from a DC voltage. For generating a sinusoidal line AC voltage from a DC voltage, the DC voltage is converted into a square-wave voltage having voltage pulses whose durations are controlled in accordance with the variation of the sinusoidal line AC voltage to be generated. The square-wave voltage is transmitted via a high-frequency transformer. Subsequently, the transmitted voltage pulses are respectively tapped and filtered for a given chronological duration. A secondary side of the high-frequency transformer is respectively shorted during pulse pauses caused by the sinusoidal control of voltage pulse durations for a simultaneous constant applied pulse frequency. In these phases, energy is transmitted back to the source of the DC voltage via the high-frequency transformer. As a result, the circuit arrangement can also be employed as a charging circuit.
