A first switching circuit selectively couples a second terminal of the input port to the first and second voltage busses. A second switching circuit selectively couples the first and second voltage busses to the output terminal. A third switching circuit selectively couples the first and second voltage busses to the neutral bus. Preferably, the first, second and third switching circuits are operative to produce an AC output voltage at the output terminal from a DC input voltage at the input port such that alternating ones of the first and second terminals of the first input port are referenced to the neutral bus for successive first and second half cycles of the AC output voltage. According to other embodiments, a DC voltage generating circuit is operative to produce respective first and second DC voltages on first and second voltage busses. A first switching circuit is operative to selectively couple the first and second voltage busses to the output terminal. A storage circuit connected to the output terminal includes a capacitive storage element, a rectifying circuit coupling the capacitive storage element to the output terminal, and a second switching circuit operative to selectively couple the capacitive storage element to the output terminal.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for calculating fast Fourier transforms FFTs. An FFT of a given size is formatted using tensor product principles for implementation in apparatus or by software such that the same reconfigurable hardware or software can calculate FFTs of any dimension for the selected FFT size. The FFT is factored into an input permutation and successive stages for computing tensor products of dimensionless Fourier transforms of a relatively small base size and twiddle factors, with load-stride permutations between computation stages. The basic building blocks of the circuitry can be reconfigurable for maximizing use-flexibility of the hardware or software. Examples of digital circuit apparatus configured to compute dimensionless formatted FFTs are presented.

    摘要: A storage container comprising an outer shell and an insertable drawer member configured and dimensioned for receiving and storing information-bearing discs and accompanying printed matter. The insertable drawer member includes features to store the discs by contacting non-information bearing surfaces thereof as well as means for selectively retrieving the printed matter together with the disc from the outer shell. The container of the invention additionally comprises a tamper seal formed integral therewith which fractures the first time the drawer member is withdrawn from the shell for determining whether the storage container has ever been opened to access its contents after it was sealed at the factory.

    摘要: There is presented an apparatus and method of locating a reflective anomaly in an optical fiber. An optical generator is positioned at one end of a light path extending to and from a reflective anomaly in an optical fiber, and periodic pulses of light are injected into the fiber. A bend coupler containing directional optical detectors is clamped to the optical fiber in mid-span, between the optical generator and a reflective anomaly, and light energy is tapped. The coupler is capable of detecting and discriminating light travelling in both longitudinal directions. After signal conditioning and digitization, the light pulses are submitted to a logical network to initiate a timer that measures a time interval between the event of an interrogating light pulse, and its reflection, the result being memorized in a buffer. A microprocessor controls the system, and computes distance between the attached bend coupler and the reflective anomaly as a function of the memorized time interval. The result is then displayed for the user. The system enables a fault to be rapidly and accurately located in a multidrop installation without violating intermediate fibers.

    摘要: A UPS device adapted for parallel connection to a load along with one or more other UPS devices, having circuitry for sharing of the load, including load harmonics. A feedback network has an error signal circuit which generates an error signal representative of the difference between the actual current provided by the device and the designated share of current it should provide. The error signal is transformed by a value representative of the effective output impedance of the UPS inverter, whereby the inverter is controlled to share the fundamental of the load current as well as the harmonics.
