The present invention discloses a programmable pulse generator comprising a digital information processing system generating first and second program-controlled signals; a first digital-to-analog converter coupled to the digital information processing system, generating a first current signal in response to the first program-controlled signal; a second digital-to-analog converter coupled to the digital information processing system, generating a second current signal in response to the second pr...

A high efficiency buck converter has power-saving means to improve the efficiency under both heavy load and light load conditions. A first circuit generates an oscillation signal and a power-saving signal in response to a feedback signal. In reference to the feedback signal and the oscillation signal, a second circuit generates switching signals to control switching devices. An off-time of the switching signal increases in response to a decrement of load. The power-saving signal turns off the sw...

A method and an apparatus are provided for drying material such as paddy grains, plastic particles, and the like, which has a plurality of grains. The method includes the steps of providing the grains in a first container, inputting heat into the first container so as to dry the grains therein, delivering the grains from the first container into a second container at a higher position above the first container, delivering the grains from the second container through a heating conduit device into...

A circuit of an adaptive slope compensator prevents instability in the current mode converter operating under a continuous mode. A timing capacitor, charged by a programmable current source, is used to generate a slope signal. The timing capacitor is discharged by a switching signal via a switching diode connection. The programmable current source is implemented by a transistor and three bias resistors. A voltage feedback signal of the converter is taken as an input to the programmable current s...

The coded acoustic alarm transmitter/receiver system includes a transmitter for selectively providing both an audible alarm in the audio frequency range and a silent alarm in the ultrasonic frequency range. These alarm signals may be provided by a plurality of signals of different frequencies transmitted simultaneously in either the audio or ultrasonic frequency ranges. Receiver units are tuned to receive specific frequencies from a specific transmitter or group of transmitters.

A general purpose modular acoustic signal generator includes an outer casing unit having a plurality of disengageably connected sections and an insert unit removably positioned in that outer casing unit. The insert unit has a piezoelectric acoustic generator disc mounted thereon and defines a Helmholtz resonator on each side of the acoustic generator disc. A single outer casing is usable with a plurality of different insert units so a single outer casing unit can be associated with a plurality o...

A seat for fastening the curved tube of a bicycle V-type brake is composed of two connection members, a seat body, and a torsion spring. The connection members are fastened pivotally and coaxially with a first brake arm of the bicycle V-type brake by a first pivot. The seat body is fastened pivotally with the connection members by a second pivot and is provided with a first retaining portion. The seat body has an end plate, which is fastened with one end of the curved tube. The torsion spring is...

The personal acoustic alarm unit produces an audible alarm signal in the audio range to alert persons in the area of the signal transmitter. This audio alarm signal is formed by a plurality of simultaneously generated audio frequency sonic signals, each of which has a different audio frequency. Receiver units are turned to receive the audio frequency sonic signals from a specific transmitter or group of transmitters.
