Abstract:
An overvoltage protection device consists of a number of parallel connected columns containing nonlinear resistance stacks between upper and lower spark gap stacks. The spark gap stacks provide arc extension by magnetic effect. Cross-impedances are arranged between the columns for transferring ignition pulses. The spark gaps, nonlinear resistors and connecting members for the cross-impedances are so dimensioned and arranged that the impedance increase of a column after ignition in comparison with the impedance increase of one or more subsequent ignited columns is so great that the current through the first column is less than a value corresponding to its lowest current carrying voltage. The cross-impedances may be connected between the bottom of an upper spark gap stack and the top of a lower spark gap stack.
Abstract:
METHOD OF DIFFUSING A DOPING SUBSTANCE FROM GROUP III OF THE PERIODIC SYSTEM INTO SILICON DISCS FOR SEMI-CONDUCTOR DEVICES, IN WHICH THE SILICON DISCS ARE SUBJECTED BOTH TO THE ACTION OF VAPOR FROM THE DOPING SUBSTANCE AND TO THE ACTION OF A HALOGEN.
Abstract:
An electrical traction system with parallel-connected groups of series motors is provided with means for switching over to a condition with a constant number of field ampere turns when maximal adhesion is desired.
