Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an on-vehicle generator is provided. The apparatus comprises a switching element, current detecting unit, setting unit and driving unit. The switching unit turns on/off an exciting current to an exciting winding of the generator, the switching element being driven responsively to a driving signal having an adjustable duty ratio. The setting unit sets the duty ratio based on (i) a difference between an output voltage of the generator and a target voltage value and (ii) a condition in which an electric load is disconnected from the generator, wherein the duty ratio is allowed to lower than a minimum value of the duty ratio depending on a generated state of the generator. The minimum value allows the exciting current to flow at a lower limit detectable by the current detecting unit, The driving unit drives the switching element based on the driving signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for cleaning deposits in a chemical vapor deposition (“CVD”) chamber equipped for generating a plasma A gas supplying line is connected to the CVD chamber to deliver a cleaning gas that reacts with the deposits formed therein. When all of the deposits have been reacted and the chamber is clean, the pressure in the chamber will change, either increasing or decreasing. A pressure detector located beyond an adjustable valve in the exhaust line allows the reaction end point to be determined, while allowing the adjustable valve to maintain a constant pressure in the chamber itself.

Abstract: When a false signal received from a telephone set on a false originating side is detected, a call thereof is immediately disconnected. In reality, the system comprises a detecting portion 5A and a signal unit 4. The detecting portion 5A detects a false signal according to international telecommunication standard ITU-T No. 5 signal system. The signal unit 4 disconnects the call when the detecting portion 5A detects a false signal. The system further comprises a supervising means that supervises a false signal using toll-free service with a credit card system. A supervising unit 5 supervises whether or not a false signal is present. Corresponding to the supervised result of the supervising means, when a false signal is detected, the signal unit 4 immediately disconnects the call. Thus, the performance of the telephone exchange system is improved. In addition, the security of the system is improved.

Abstract: A membrane switch that suppresses the growth, or migration, of metallic ion crystals caused by condensation. First and second metallic conductive layers are provided on an inside of the first and second resin film, respectively. First and second non-metallic conductive layers cover the first and second metallic conductive layers, respectively. A spacer separates the first and second metallic conductive layers and includes an inner wall that, together with the first and second metallic conductive layers, defines a spacer cavity. At least one of the first and second metallic conductive layers is located a prescribed distance from the spacer inner wall, as the spacer inner wall provides a pathway for the metallic ion crystal migration.
