Abstract: The present invention provides a battery-driven electronic device for which a long time use of the battery can be achieved and mobile communications equipment such as a portable telephone. Even if the time at which the output voltage of a battery 201 becomes below the supply voltage required by a load 206 including a power amplifier for wireless communications comes earlier than a conventional lithium ion battery because of its discharge characteristics that the battery voltage change ratio is 0.25 or more, a step-up and -down converter 200 operates as follows. When the output voltage of the battery is higher than the supply voltage required by the load, the voltage is set to a predetermined supply voltage by the step-down operation mode. When the output voltage of the battery is decreased and becomes lower than the supply voltage required by the load, the voltage is set to a predetermined supply voltage by the step-up operation mode.

Abstract: A multi-output switching power source apparatus having a plurality of outputs, wherein electric power regenerated from a load side to one of the outputs can be output as electric power supplied to other loads. The switching power source apparatus comprises a main switching circuit for turning ON/OFF the voltage of a DC power source and for inputting the voltage to the primary winding of a transformer, secondary switching circuits for rectifying AC voltages induced across the output windings, output capacitors for smoothing and outputting the voltages, and a control drive circuit for adjusting the ON/OFF periods of the switching circuits. The outputs are short-circuited during the OFF period of the main switching circuit via the transformer, whereby the fluctuations of the output voltages can be controlled.

Abstract: A pulse-width modulation amplifier includes a triangular signal oscillator for generating a triangular carrier signal. A voltage comparator compares an input analog signal and the triangular carrier signal, and converts the input analog signal into a corresponding pulse-width modulation signal. A power amplifier serves to amplify the pulse-width modulation signal. A low pass filter removes carrier components from an output signal of the power amplifier, and generates a demodulated signal corresponding to the input analog signal. The amplitude of the triangular carrier signal is controlled in response to a power supply voltage fed to the power amplifier so that the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal will be substantially proportional to the power supply voltage.

Abstract: A liquid feeder comprises an assembly of chemicals-feeding nozzles, each of which is fabricated by securing wall members, having nozzle holes each, between pairs of adjacent tubes, thereby forming a boxlike nozzle. The tubes are those of a flow path or circuit through which the fluid in a boiler or preboiler unit is taken out and is returned to either unit. The liquid feeder is intended for use with various plants, especially boiler plants.
