A method of manufacturing a power switching transistor for a fluid ejection device includes forming a diffused drain region and a diffused source region separated by a channel region. The diffused drain region and the diffused source region are doped with a first dopant. A first portion of the diffused drain region is doped with a second dopant, such that the first portion of the diffused drain region has a greater impurity concentration than at least a second portion of the diffused drain regio...

The invention concerns a high power power supply with output power in excess of 5 kilowatts, by way of example, for the supply of electromagnets in the area of electromedicine and nuclear physics. In order to regulate the output current, power thyristors 28 are utilized within the two bridge rectifier circuits 2 and 3, operated with phase control regulation. In order to keep the output current constant, two transistor final control elements 10 and 11 regulated by a control-gain amplifier are use...

A power sander includes a casing bounding a space in which a sanding plate is mounted for cyclical motion in parallelism with a plane of a support surface of the sanding plate. A sanding element, such as sandpaper, is supported on and covers the support surface of the sanding plate, and a clamping arrangement clamps the sanding element to the sanding plate. The clamping arrangement is mounted on the sanding plate for pivoting between an engaging and an disengaging position, and is biased toward ...

In a rotary sliding vane pump having a non-circular cam ring which expands and contracts radially, a cheek plate is clamped against the end face of the cam ring and lies in rubbing contact with the rotor and vanes. The cheek plate has a wearing face of low friction material such as bronze. Unwanted wear between the cheek plate and the cam ring due to its expansion/contraction movements is reduced by the provision of one or more areas of hard metal adjacent the cam ring.

A power vent is disclosed including a housing assembly having a base and a cylindrical, open ended shroud joined to the base and within which is supported a fan assembly. A wire frame is molded into the inner peripheral surface of the shroud to reinforce the shroud and also provide a bracket for supporting the motor of the fan assembly. A molded plastic hood including hood support brackets is securable to the shroud so that the assembly may be employed as a roof vent. In another embodiment, the ...

An open head power tong for use in making-up and breaking-out joints of varying diameter such as drill pipe joints which provides for bi-directional operation with the tong housing remaining in the same position.

A supercharged engine is provided with a by-pass pipe through which all the air from the compressor which is not absorbed by the engine flows towards the turbine through an auxiliary combustion chamber. There is provided a system for supplying fuel to the combustion chamber, comprising means for regulating the flow rate of fuel supplied to the auxiliary chamber so as to prevent the supercharging pressure falling below a set value; in which power unit the regulating means comprise sensing means s...

A steam turbine-generator power plant is described wherein solar energy is used to preheat feedwater to a steam generator. Two parallel feedwater supply branches are proposed for preheating the feedwater upstream from the steam generator. A first preheater branch utilizes extraction steam from the steam turbine for preheating feedwater and is called an extraction branch. A second preheater branch utilizes solar energy for preheating feedwater and is called a solar branch. The two branches are jo...

A power wrench in which an output shaft is powered by a motor via a magnetic torque responsive release clutch, and in which a torque non-responsive clutch is connected between the release clutch and the output shaft. Cam teeth which are associated with the release clutch halves are effective to inactivate the torque non-responsive clutch as the driving and driven halves of the latter, during increased torque load, have reached their fully released position. As the release clutch is unloaded ther...

A power converter comprising a plurality of pairs of electrical valve bridges which have a plurality of electrical valves connected in each bridge between DC terminals and AC terminals connected to an AC load and a plurality of controllable DC power means for feeding pulsating unidirectional current into the DC terminals of the electrical valve bridges or out of the DC terminals whereby the unidirectional pulsating current is distributed to the plurality of pairs of electrical valve bridges for ...
