    摘要: A system for regulating access to a resource by a plurality of users is provided. The system comprises: a plurality of portable access keys, each being provided to one of the users and having an associated variable access parameter; an access barrier, having an open state allowing passage through and a closed state denying access to the resource, and defining an access queue; a sensor that determines an access queue characteristic related to a number of users in the access queue; a controller, which sets an access criterion based on the determined access queue characteristic; and a detector, located at the access barrier and which determines the variable access parameter of a portable access key when it is brought into the vicinity of the detector. The controller sets the access barrier in its open state if the variable access parameter determined by the detector meets the access criterion.

    摘要: An earthquake prediction device comprises a predicted value calculation unit 16 that calculates, from a prediction formula below, a predicted value (MMIap) indicating a predicted intensity of a ground motion on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, using a maximum acceleration value (Aumax), which is a maximum absolute value among absolute values of vertical acceleration component of the ground motion, after a sensor starts detecting the ground motion caused by an earthquake. The prediction formula is: MMIap=αa log10(Aumax)+βa.

    摘要: Provided is apparatus and a method for driving synchronous rectifiers, which relate to the field of power supplies for communications. The apparatus includes: detection circuits, wherein each of the detection circuits is configured to detect drain and source voltages of one of synchronous rectifiers to obtain a detection signal for indicating a current direction in the one of the synchronous rectifiers; an isolated driving circuit, configured to generate isolated driving signals for driving the synchronous rectifiers according to the detection signals output by the detection circuits; and the synchronous rectifiers, configured to synchronously rectify input signals from a main transformer by using the isolated driving signals. The present disclosure can obtain the isolated driving signals of the synchronous rectifiers simply and effectively, and has a superior protective feature in case of shoot-through and other abnormalities.
